Datasheet
General Description
The MAX44284 is a high-side, current-sense amplifier
that operates with a 1.7V to 5.5V single supply and is
optimized for very low power operation with only 21µA of
quiescent current.
The MAX44284 offers precision accuracy specifications
of 2μV V
OS
and gain error of 0.05%. The device features
an input common-mode voltage range from -0.1V to
+36V. This current-sense amplifier has a voltage output
and is offered in four different gain versions.
The MAX44284 is offered in small 6-bump, 0.4mm-pitch
WLP (1.3mm x 0.9mm) and 6-pin SOT23 packages and is
specified for operation over the -40°C to +125°C automo-
tive temperature range.
