MAX4376/MAX4377/
MAX4378
Single/Dual/Quad, High-Side
Current-Sense Amplifiers with Internal Gain
General Description
The MAX4376/MAX4377/MAX4378 single, dual, and
quad precision high-side current-sense amplifiers are
available in space-saving packages. They feature
buffered voltage outputs that eliminate the need for
gain-setting resistors and are ideal for today’s notebook
computers, cell phones, and other systems where
current monitoring is critical. These precision devices are
offered in three fixed-gain versions of 20, 50, and 100:

For example, MAX4376TAUK is a single high-side amplifier
with a gain of 20.
High-side current monitoring is especially useful in
battery-powered systems since it does not interfere
with the ground path of the battery charger. The input
common-mode range of 0 to +28V is independent of
the supply voltage and ensures that the current-sense
feedback remains viable even when connected to a
battery pack in deep discharge.
The full-scale current reading can be set by choosing the
appropriate voltage gain and external-sense resistor. This
capability offers a high level of integration and flexibility,
resulting in a simple and compact current-sense solution.
The MAX4376/MAX4377/MAX4378 operate over a supply
voltage range of +3V to +28V, draw 1mA of supply current
per amplifier, and operate over the full automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. These devices have a wide
bandwidth of 2MHz, making them suitable for use inside
battery-charger control loops. The buffered outputs drive
up to 2mA of output current into a ground-referenced load.
The MAX4376 is available in a tiny 5-pin SOT23 package.
The MAX4377/MAX4378 are available in space-saving
8-pin µMAX® and 14-pin TSSOP packages, respectively.

Single/Dual/Quad, High-Side
Current-Sense Amplifiers with Internal Gain
Detailed Description
The MAX4376/MAX4377/MAX4378 high-side current-sense amplifiers feature a 0 to +28V input common-mode range that is independent of supply voltage.
This feature allows the monitoring of current out of a
battery in deep discharge and also enables high-side current sensing at voltages greater than the supply voltage
(VCC).
The MAX4376/MAX4377/MAX4378 operate as follows:
current from the source flows through RSENSE to the
load (Figure 1). Since the internal sense amplifier’s
inverting input has high impedance, negligible current
flows through RG2 (neglecting the input bias current).
Therefore, the sense amplifier’s inverting-input voltage
equals VSOURCE - (ILOAD)(RSENSE).
The amplifier’s open-loop gain forces its noninverting
input to the same voltage as the inverting input.
Therefore, the drop across RG1 equals (ILOAD)
(RSENSE). Since IRG1 flows through RG1, IRG1 =
(ILOAD)(RSENSE)/RG1. The internal current mirror multiplies IRG1 by a current gain factor, β, to give IRGD = β x
IRG1. Solving IRGD = β x (ILOAD)(RSENSE)/RG1.
Therefore:
VOUT = b x (RGD/RG1)(RSENSE x ILOAD) x amp gain
Applications Information
Recommended Component Values
The MAX4376/MAX4377/MAX4378 sense a wide variety
of currents with different sense resistor values. Table 1
lists common resistor values for typical operation of the
MAX4376/MAX4377/MAX4378.
Choosing RSENSE
To measure lower currents more accurately, use a high
value for RSENSE. The high value develops a higher
sense voltage that reduces offset voltage errors of the
internal op amp.
In applications monitoring very high currents, RSENSE
must be able to dissipate the I2R losses. If the resistor’s
rated power dissipation is exceeded, its value may drift or
it may fail altogether, causing a differential voltage across
the terminals in excess of the absolute maximum ratings.
If ISENSE has a large high-frequency component, minimize the inductance of RSENSE. Wire-wound resistors
have the highest inductance, metal-film resistors are
somewhat better, and low-inductance metal-film resistors
are best suited for these applications.
Bidirectional Current-Sense Amplifier
where GAIN = 20 for MAX437_T.
Systems such as laptop computers and other devices
that have internal charge circuitry require a precise bidirectional current-sense amplifier to monitor accurately the
battery’s current regardless of polarity. Figure 2 shows the
MAX4377 used as a bidirectional current monitor. This is
useful for implementing either smart battery packs or fuel
gauges.
GAIN = 50 for MAX437_F.
Current Source Circuit
where amp gain is 2, 5, or 10.
The part’s gain equals (β x RGD / RG1) x amp gain.
Therefore:
VOUT = (GAIN)(RSENSE)(ILOAD)
GAIN = 100 for MAX437_H.
Set the full-scale output range by selecting RSENSE and
the appropriate gain version of the MAX4376/ MAX4377/
MAX4378.

Figure 3 shows a block diagram using the MAX4376 with
a switching regulator to make a current source.
