Bidirectional, On-The-Fly Programmable
MAX49918
Gain, Current-Sense Amplifier with Wide
Measurement Range
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX49918 is a high-precision current-sense
amplifier (CSA) with an I C programmable gain option
from 10V/V to 200V/V in 8 steps. The multiple
programmable gain options offer maximum flexibility for
the user to change gain on-the-fly.

The IC operating input common-mode range from -5V to
+70V, with protections that extend down to -6V and up
to +80V, thus providing protection against reverse-
battery and high-voltage spikes.

The low input offset of ±1μV (typ) and low gain error of
±0.01% (typ) make this device best-suited for high-
precision current measurements.
The IC operates from a supply voltage of +2.7V to +5.5V
with a typical quiescent supply at 0.7mA. The device
operates over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature
range.
Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet.
The IC features bidirectional current sensing and is
offered in a 3mm x 3mm, 10-pin TDFN package.
