General Description
Features
The MAX9939 is a general-purpose, differential-input
programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) that is ideal for con-
ditioning a variety of wide dynamic range signals such
as those found in motor current-sense, medical instru-
mentation, and sonar data acquisition applications. It
features SPI™-programmable differential gains from
0.2V/V to 157V/V, input offset-voltage compensation, and
an output amplifier that can be configured either as a
high-order active filter or to provide a differential output.
o SPI-Programmable Gains: 0.2V/V to 157V/V
o Extremely Low Gain Tempco
o Integrated Amplifier for R/C Programmable Active
Filter
o Input Offset-Voltage Compensation
o Input Protection to 1ꢀV
o 13µA Software Shutdown Mode
The PGA is optimized for high-signal bandwidth and its
gain can be programmed to be 0.2V/V, 1V/V, 10V/V,
20V/V, 30V/V, 40V/V, 60V/V, 80V/V, 119V/V, and 157V/V.
Precision resistor matching provides extremely low gain
tempco and high CMRR. Although the MAX9939 oper-

o 10-Pin µMAX Package
ates from a single supply V
between 2.9V to 5.5V, it
CC
can process signals both above and below ground due
to the use of an input level-shifting amplifier stage.
Furthermore, its inputs are protected to 16V, allowing it
to withstand fault conditions and signal overranges.
Ordering Information
The output amplifier is designed for high bandwidth
and low-bias currents, making it ideal for use in multi-
ple-feedback active filter topologies that offer much
higher Qs and stopband attenuation than Sallen-Key
architectures.

The MAX9939 draws 3.4mA of quiescent supply current
at 5V, and includes a software-programmable shut-
down mode that reduces its supply current to only
13µA. The MAX9939 is available in a 10-pin µMAX®
package and operates over the -40°C to +125°C auto-
motive temperature range.
