EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX4373/MAX4374/MAX4375Low-Cost, Micropower, High-SideCurrent-Sense Amplifier +Comparator + Reference ICsGeneral DescriptionBenefits and Features The MAX4373/MAX4374/MAX4375 low-cost, micropow- • Integrated Current-Sensing Solution Simplifies High- er, high-side current-sense supervisors contain a high- Side Current Monitoring side current-sense amplifier, bandgap reference, and • Current-Sense Amplifier plus Internal Comparator comparator with latching output. They feature a voltage and Bandgap Reference with Improved Accuracy output that eliminates the need for gain-setting resistors, • 1mV (max) Input Offset Voltage making them ideal for today’s notebook computers, cell • 2% (max) Full-Scale Accuracy phones, and other systems where battery/DC current • Internal Bandgap Reference (±1.6% Accuracy) monitoring is critical. High-side current monitoring is especially useful in battery-powered systems since it • High Accuracy +2V to +28V Common-Mode Range, does not interfere with the ground path of the battery Functional Down to 0V, Independent of Supply charger. The 0 to +28V input common-mode range is Voltage Ensures Current Monitoring Even In Deep independent of the supply voltage, which ensures that Discharge of Battery Pack the current-sense feedback remains viable even when • Low Power Consumption Extends Battery Life connected to a battery pack in deep discharge. • 50µA Supply Current The comparator output of the MAX4373/MAX4374/ • Single +2.7V to +28V Operating Supply MAX4375 is latched to provide a turn-off flag that • Latching Comparator Output Eliminates Oscillation doesn’t oscillate. In addition, the MAX4374/MAX4375 • Three Gain Versions (+20V/V, +50V/V, contain a second comparator for use in window-detec- +100V/V) Support Different Size Battery Packs tion functions. The MAX4373/MAX4374/MAX4375 are available in three different gain versions (T = +20V/V, Ordering Information F = +50V/V, H = +100V/V) and use an external sense resistor to set the sensitivity of the input voltage to the PIN-GAINPARTTEMP RANGE load current. These features offer a high level of inte- PACKAGE(V/V) gration, resulting in a simple and compact current- MAX4373 TEUA+ -40°C to +85°C 8 µMAX +20 sense solution.
