MAX4073T/F/H Low-Cost, SC70, Voltage-Output, High-Side Current-Sense Amplifier General Description The MAX4073 low-cost, high-side current-sense amplifier features a voltage output that eliminates the need for gain-setting resistors making it ideal for cell phones, notebook computers, PDAs, and other systems where current monitoring is crucial. High-side current monitoring does not interfere with the ground path of the battery charger making the MAX4073 particularly useful in battery-powered systems. The input common-mode range of +2V to +28V is independent of the supply voltage. The MAX4073's wide 1.8MHz bandwidth makes it suitable for use inside battery-charger control loops. The combination of three gain versions and a selectable external-sense resistor sets the full-scale current reading. The MAX4073 offers a high level of integration, resulting in a simple and compact current-sense solution. The MAX4073 operates from a +3V to +28V single supply and draws only 0.5mA of supply current. This device is specified over the automotive operating temperature range (-40C to +125C) and is available in a space-saving 5-pin SC70 package (half the size of the SOT23). For a similar device in a 6-pin SOT23 with a wider common-mode voltage range (0 to +28V), see the MAX4173 data sheet.

VOUT is proportional to VSENSE. Output impedance is approximately 12k. 6 1 Detailed Description The MAX4073 high-side current-sense amplifier features a +2V to +28V input common-mode range that is independent of supply voltage. This feature allows the monitoring of current out of a battery as low as +2V and also enables high-side current sensing at voltages greater than the supply voltage (VCC). The MAX4073 operates as follows: current from the source flows through RSENSE to the load (Figure 1). Since the internal-sense amplifier's inverting input has high impedance, negligible current flows through RG2 (neglecting the input bias current). Therefore, the sense amplifier's inverting-input voltage equals VSOURCE - (ILOAD)(RSENSE). The amplifier's open-loop gain forces its noninverting input to the same voltage as the inverting input. Therefore, the drop across RG1 equals (ILOAD)(RSENSE). Since IRG1 flows through RG1, IRG1 = (ILOAD)(RSENSE) / RG1. The internal current mirror multiplies I RG1 by a current gain factor, , to give IRGD = IRG1. Solving IRGD = (ILOAD)(RSENSE)/ RG1. Assuming infinite output impedance, VOUT = (IRGD) (RGD). Substituting in for IRGD and rearranging, VOUT = (RGD/RG1)(RSENSE ILOAD). The parts gain equals RGD/RG1. Therefore, V OUT = (GAIN) (R SENSE ) (ILOAD), where GAIN = 20V/V for MAX4073T, GAIN = 50V/V for MAX4073F, and GAIN = 100V/V for MAX4073H. Set the full-scale output range by selecting RSENSE and the appropriate gain version of the MAX4073. Applications Information Recommended Component Values The MAX4073 senses a wide variety of currents with different sense resistor values. Table 1 lists common resistor values for typical operation of the MAX4073. Choosing RSENSE To measure lower currents more accurately, use a large value for RSENSE. The larger value develops a Maxim Integrated RSENSE VSOURCE +2V TO +28V +3V TO +28V VCC ILOAD TO LOAD/BATTERY RS+ IRG1 RS- RG1 RG2 A1 MAX4073T/F/H CURRENT MIRROR OUT VOUT IRGD RGD = 12k GND Figure 1. Functional Diagram higher-sense voltage that reduces offset voltage errors of the internal op amp. Typical sense voltages range between 10mV and 150mV. In applications monitoring very high currents, RSENSE must be able to dissipate the I2R losses. If the resistor's rated power dissipation is exceeded, its value may drift or it may fail altogether, causing a differential voltage across the terminals in excess of the absolute maximum ratings (5V). If ISENSE has a large high-frequency component, minimize the inductance of RSENSE. Wire-wound resistors have the highest inductance, metal-film resistors are 7 MAX4073T/F/H Low-Cost, SC70, Voltage-Output, High-Side Current-Sense Amplifier somewhat better, and low-inductance metal-film resistors are best suited for these applications. INPUT 0.3in COPPER For VSENSE = 100mV, full-scale output voltage can be 2V, 5V, or 10V depending on the gain. For proper operation, ensure VCC exceeds the full-scale output voltage by 1.2V (see Output High Voltage (V CC - V OH ) vs. Temperature in the Typical Operating Characteristics). 0.1in COPPER For example, the MAX4073T (with a maximum load current of 10A and an RSENSE of 5m) creates a full-scale VSENSE of 50mV that yields a maximum VOUT of 1V. RSENSE in this case requires about 2 inches of 0.1 inchwide copper trace. Output Impedance The output of the MAX4073 is a current source driving a 12k resistance. Resistive loading added to OUT reduces the output gain of the MAX4073. To minimize output errors for most applications, connect OUT to a high-impedance input stage. When output buffering is required, choose an op amp with a common-mode input range and an output voltage swing that includes ground when operating with a single supply. The op amp's supply voltage range should be at least as high as any voltage the system may encounter. The percent error introduced by output loading is determined with the following formula: 0.3in COPPER _ + VSENSE RS- RS+ +3V TO +28V VCC 0.1F MAX4073T Using a PCB Trace as RSENSE If the cost of RSENSE is an issue and accuracy is not critical, use the alternative solution shown in Figure 2. This solution uses copper PC board traces to create a sense resistor. The resistivity of a 0.1-inch-wide trace of 2-ounce copper is approximately 30m/ft. The resistance-temperature coefficient of copper is fairly high (approximately 0.4%/C), so systems that experience a wide temperature variance must compensate for this effect. In addition, do not exceed the maximum power dissipation of the copper trace. LOAD/BATTERY RSENSE OUT GND Figure 2.
