MAX40204
36V, Pin-Programmable Gain, Bidirectional
CSA
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX40204 is a high-precision, bidirectional, high-side
current-sense amplifier (CSA) with a wide input common-
mode range from -0.1V (ground sensing) to 36V.
● -0.1V to 36V Wide Input Common Mode
● Ultra-Low, 2μV Input Offset Voltage
● On-the-Fly Gain Setting Input
● Bidirectional/Unidirectional Current Sensing
● 20nA (max) Input Bias Current
● Extremely Low, 50nV/°C Input Offset Tempco
● 0.05% Gain Error
The device's ultra-low 2μV input offset voltage allows the
use of small sense resistor to reduce power dissipation
and a very low, 0.05% gain error ensures measurement
accuracy.
● 21μA Supply Current
The MAX40204 offers two gain options using a logic-level
input (GAIN) that provides the flexibility to change the gain
on the fly. On-the-fly gain adjustment capability allows
the system to enhance accuracy when measuring current
much smaller than set full-scale level. See Table 1 for gain
configurations. Additionally, the MAX40204 supports uni-
directional and bidirectional current sensing with an exter-
nal voltage applied to a reference input, REF.
● 70nA (typ) Shutdown Current
● 1.7V to 5.5V Single Supply Operating Range
● Space-Saving 8-Bump WLP and 8-Pin TDFN
Packages
Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet.
The MAX40204 operates with single-supply in the range
of 1.7V to 5.5V while consuming only 21μA. Low operating
supply current and 70nA (typ) shutdown current help ex-
tend battery life and make the MAX40204 ideal for
portable and battery-operated devices.
The MAX40204 is available in a small 8-bump, 0.35mm-
pitch WLP (1.468mm x 0.848mm) and 8-pin TDFN (2mm x
2mm) packages and is specified over the -40°C to +125°C
extended operating temperature range.
