MAX4080/MAX4081
76V, High-Side, Current-Sense Amplifiers
with Voltage Output
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Ideal for High-Voltage Current Monitoring Applications
• Wide 4.5V to 76V Input Common-Mode Range
• Independent Operating Supply Voltage
The MAX4080/MAX4081 are high-side, current-sense
amplifiers with an input voltage range that extends from
4.5V to 76V making them ideal for telecom, automotive,
backplane, and other systems where high-voltage current
monitoring is critical. The MAX4080 is designed for uni-
directional current-sense applications and the MAX4081
allows bidirectional current sensing. The MAX4081 sin-
gle output pin continuously monitors the transition from
charge to discharge and avoids the need for a separate
polarity output. The MAX4081 requires an external refer-
● High Accuracy and Low Quiescent Current Support
Precision Application Requirements
• ±0.1% Full-Scale Accuracy
• Low 100μV Input Offset Voltage
• Three Gain Versions Available
- 5V/V (MAX4080F/MAX4081F)
- 20V/V (MAX4080T/MAX4081T)
- 60V/V (MAX4080S/MAX4081S)
ence to set the zero-current output level (V
The charging current is represented by an output voltage
= 0V).

For maximum versatility, the 76V input voltage range
applies independently to both supply voltage (V ) and
common-mode input voltage (V
monitoring does not interfere with the ground path of the
load being measured, making the MAX4080/MAX4081
particularly useful in a wide range of high-voltage sys-
tems.

Ordering Information
The combination of three gain versions (5V/V, 20V/V,
60V/V = F, T, S suffix) and a user-selectable, external
sense resistor sets the full-scale current reading and its
proportional output voltage. The MAX4080/MAX4081
offer a high level of integration, resulting in a simple, accu-
rate, and compact current-sense solution.

The MAX4080/MAX4081 operate from a 4.5V to 76V sin-
gle supply and draw only 75µA of supply current. These
devices are specified over the automotive operating tem-
perature range (-40°C to +125°C) and are available in a
space-saving 8-pin µMAX® or SO package.
