Dual-Channel, High-Precision,
High-Voltage, Current-Sense Amplifier
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX44285 dual-channel high-side current-sense
amplifier has precision accuracy specifications of VOS
less than 12μV (max) and gain error less than 0.1%
(max).
● 2.7V to 76V Input Common Mode
● Low 12μV (max) Input Offset Voltage
● Low 0.1% (max) Gain Error
●
The MAX44285 features an input common-mode voltage
range from 2.7V to 76V with 80kHz of small-signal bandwidth, which makes it ideal for interfacing with a SAR ADC
for multichannel multiplexed data acquisition systems.
The MAX44285 operates over the -40°C to +125°C
temperature range. The MAX44285 is offered in 8-bump
wafer-level package (WLP) and 8-pin µMAXM package.

Detailed Description
The MAX44285 high-side, current-sense amplifier features a 2.7V to 76V input common-mode range that is
independent of supply voltage. This feature allows the
monitoring of current out of a battery as low as 2.7V and
enables high-side current sensing at voltages greater
than the supply voltage (VDD). The MAX44285 monitors
current through a current-sense resistor and amplifies the
voltage across the resistor.
High-side current monitoring does not interfere with the
ground path of the load being measured, making the
MAX44285 particularly useful in a wide range of highvoltage systems.
The MAX44285 operates as follows: current from the
source flows through RSENSE to the load (see Functional
Diagram), creating a sense voltage, VSENSE. The internal
op amp A1 is used to force the current through an internal
gain resistor RG11 at RS1+ pin, such that its voltage drop
www.maximintegrated.com
P
GND
equals the voltage drop (VSENSE) across the external
sense resistor (RSENSE). The internal resistor at RS1- pin
(RG12) has the same value as RG11 to minimize error.
The current through RG11 is sourced by a high-voltage
p-channel FET. Its source current is the same as the drain
current which flows through a second gain resistor, R01,
producing a voltage VR01 = VSENSE x R01/RG11.
The output voltage VOUT1 is produced from a second op
amp A2 with the gain (1 + RF1/R01). Hence, the VOUT1 =
ILOAD1 x RSENSE1 (R01/RG11) x (1 + RF1/ R01) for channel 1 and VOUT2 = ILOAD2 x RSENSE2 (R02/RG21) x (1 +
RF2/ R02) for channel 2. Internal resistor R01 = R02, RG11
= RG12 = RG21 = RG22, RF1 = RF2. The gain-setting
resistors R01, R02, RG11, RG12, RG21, RG22, RF1, and
RF2 are available in Table 1):
Total gain = 12.5V/V for MAX44285L, 20V/V for the
MAX44285T, 50V/V for the MAX44285F, and 100V/V for
the MAX44285H.

Applications Information
Recommended Component Values
Ideally, the maximum load current develops the full-scale
sense voltage across the current-sense resistor. Choose
the gain needed to yield the maximum output voltage
required for the application:
VOUT = VSENSE x AV
where VSENSE is the full-scale sense voltage, 200mV for
gain of 12.5V/V, 125mV for gain of 20V/V, 50mV for gain
of 50V/V, 25mV for gain of 100V/V, and AV is the gain of
the device.
Efficiency and Power Dissipation: At high current
levels, the I2R losses in RSENSE can be significant.
Consider this when choosing the resistor value and its
power dissipation (wattage) rating. In addition, the sense
resistor’s value might drift if it heats up excessively.
Inductance: Keep inductance low if ISENSE has a large
high-frequency component. Wire-wound resistors have
the highest inductance, while metal film is somewhat
better. Low-inductance, metal-film resistors are also
available. Instead of being spiral wrapped around a core,
as in metal-film or wire wound resistors, they are a straight
band of metal and are available in values under 1Ω.
In applications monitoring a high current, ensure that
RSENSE is able to dissipate its own I2R loss. If the resistor’s power dissipation exceeds the nominal value, its
value may drift or it may fail altogether. The MAX44285
senses a wide variety of currents with different senseresistor values.
Take care to eliminate parasitic trace resistance from
causing errors in the sense voltage because of the high
currents that flow through RSENSE. Either use a four
terminal current-sense resistor or use Kelvin (force and
sense) PCB layout techniques.
Choosing the Sense Resistor
An example of a typical application (Figure 1) of this
high-voltage, high-precision current-sense amplifier is in
base-station systems where there is a need to monitor
the current flowing in the power amplifier. Such amplifiers,
depending on the technology, can be biased up to 50V
or 60V thus requiring a current-sense amplifier like the
MAX44285 with high-voltage common mode. The very
low input offset voltage of the MAX44285 minimizes
the value of the external sense resistor thus resulting in
system power-saving.
Choose RSENSE based on the following criteria:
Voltage Loss: A high RSENSE value causes the powersource voltage to degrade through IR loss. For minimal
voltage loss, use the lowest RSENSE value.
Accuracy: A high RSENSE value allows lower currents
measured more accurately. This is due to offsets becoming
less significant when the sense voltage is larger. For best
performance, select RSENSE to provide approximately
200mV (gain of 12.5V/V), 125mV (gain of 20V/V), or
50mV (gain of 50V/V), 25mV (gain of 100V/V) of sense
voltage for the full-scale current in each application.
