MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920
-20V to +75V Input Range, Precision Uni-/Bidirectional,
Current-Sense Amplifiers
General Description
The MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920 are single-supply, high-accuracy current-sense amplifiers with a high input common-mode range that extends from -20V to +75V. These amplifiers are well suited for current monitoring of inductive loads such as motors and solenoids, where common-mode voltages can become negative due to inductive kickback, reverse-battery conditions, or transient events.
The MAX9918/MAX9920 feature adjustable gain set by an external resistive-divider network. The MAX9919 features fixed gains of 45V/V (MAX9919F) and 90V/V (MAX9919N).
