General Description
The MAX4069–MAX4072 low-cost, bidirectional, high-
side, current-sense amplifiers are ideal for monitoring
battery charge and discharge currents in notebooks,
cell phones, and other portable equipment. They fea-
ture up to 24V input common-mode voltage range, low
100µA supply current (which drops to only 10µA in
shutdown), and a total output error of less than 1.5%.
The wide 1.35V to 24V input common-mode range is
independent of the supply voltage, ensuring that the
current-sense feedback remains accurate even when
connected to a battery pack in deep discharge.
To achieve maximum flexibility, an external current-sense
resistor is used along with a Gain Select pin to choose
either 50V/V or 100V/V. A single output pin continuously
monitors the transition from charge to discharge and
avoids the need for a separate polarity output. The
MAX4070 contains an internal 2.5V reference. The
charging current is represented by an output voltage
from 2.5V to V
CC
, while discharge current is given from
2.5V to GND. The MAX4071 is similar, but with a refer-
ence voltage of 1.5V. The MAX4069 has an adjustable
reference voltage, set by two external resistors. The
MAX4072 has an input for an external reference.
The MAX4069/MAX4071/MAX4072 operate from a 2.7V to
24V single supply. The MAX4070 operates from a 3.6V to
24V single supply. All devices are specified over the
automotive operating temperature range, -40°C to
+125°C. The MAX4070/MAX4071/MAX4072 are available
in 8-pin µMAX and 8-pin thin QFN packages. The
MAX4069 is available in a 10-pin µMAX
®
package.
