Low-Cost, SOT23, Micropower, High-Side Current-Sense Amplifier with Voltage Output
General Description
The MAX4372 low-cost, precision, high-side currentsense amplifier is available in a tiny, space-saving SOT23-5 package. Offered in three gain versions (T = +20V/V, F = +50V/V, and H = +100V/V), this device operates from a single +2.7V to +28V supply and consumes only 30µA. It features a voltage output that eliminates the need for gain-setting resistors and is ideal for today’s notebook computers, cell phones, and other systems where battery/DC current monitoring is critical. High-side current monitoring is especially useful in battery-powered systems since it does not interfere with the ground path of the battery charger.
