Quiescent supply current is an ultra-low 1μA. The MAX9938 fits in a tiny, 1mm x 1mm UCSP™ package size or a 5-pin SOT23 package, making the part ideal for applications in notebook computers, cell phones, PDAs, and all battery-operated portable devices where accuracy, low quiescent current, and small size are critical. The MAX9938 features an input common-mode voltage range from 1.6V to 28V. These current-sense amplifiers have a voltage output and are offered in four gain versions: 25V/V (MAX9938T), 50V/V (MAX9938F), 100V/V (MAX9938H), and 200V/V (MAX9938W). The four gain selections offer flexibility in the choice of the external current-sense resistor. The very low 500μV (max) input offset voltage allows small 25mV to 50mV full-scale VSENSE voltage for very low voltage drop at full-current measurement. The MAX9938 is offered in tiny 4-bump, UCSP (1mm x 1mm x 0.6mm footprint), 5-pin SOT23, and 6-pin μDFN (2mm x 2mm x 0.8mm) packages specified for operation over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

This feature allows the monitoring of current out of a battery with a voltage as low as 1.6V. The MAX9938 monitors current through a current-sense resistor and amplifies the voltage across that resistor. The MAX9938 is a unidirectional current-sense amplifier that has a well-established history. An op amp is used to force the current through an internal gain resistor at RS+, which has a value of R1, such that its voltage drop equals the voltage drop across an external sense resistor, RSENSE. There is an internal resistor at RS- with the same value as R1 to minimize offset voltage. The current through R1 is sourced by a high-voltage p-channel FET. Its source current is the same as its drain current, which flows through a second gain resistor, ROUT. This produces an output voltage, VOUT, whose magnitude is I LOAD x R SENSE x R OUT /R 1 . The gain accuracy is based on the matching of the two gain resistors R1 and R OUT (see Table 1). Total gain = 25V/V for the MAX9938T, 50V/V for the MAX9938F, 100V/V for the MAX9938H, and 200V/V for the MAX9938W. The output is protected from input overdrive by use of an output current limiting circuit of 7mA (typical) and a 6V clamp protection circuit. Table 1.

For minimal voltage loss, use the lowest RSENSE value. OUT Swing vs. VRS+ and VSENSE The MAX9938 is unique since the supply voltage is the input common-mode voltage (the average voltage at RS+ and RS-). There is no separate VCC supply voltage pin. Therefore, the OUT voltage swing is limited by the minimum voltage at RS+. VOUT(max) = VRS+ (min) - VSENSE (max) - VOH and RSENSE = VOUT (max) G × I LOAD (max) Efficiency and Power Dissipation At high current levels, the I2R losses in RSENSE can be significant. Take this into consideration when choosing the resistor value and its power dissipation (wattage) rating. Also, the sense resistor’s value might drift if it is allowed to heat up excessively. The precision VOS of the MAX9938 allows the use of small sense resistors to reduce power dissipation and reduce hot spots. Kelvin Connections Because of the high currents that flow through RSENSE, take care to eliminate parasitic trace resistance from causing errors in the sense voltage. Either use a fourterminal current-sense resistor or use Kelvin (force and sense) PCB layout techniques. MAX9938 Optional Output Filter Capacitor When designing a system that uses a sample-and-hold stage in the ADC, the sampling capacitor momentarily loads OUT and causes a drop in the output voltage. If sampling time is very short (less than a microsecond), consider using a ceramic capacitor across OUT and GND to hold VOUT constant during sampling. This also decreases the small-signal bandwidth of the currentsense amplifier and reduces noise at OUT. VSENSE full scale should be less than VOUT/gain at the minimum RS+ voltage. For best performance with a 3.6V supply voltage, select RSENSE to provide approximately 120mV (gain of 25V/V), 60mV (gain of 50V/V), 30mV (gain of 100V/V), or 15mV (gain of 200V/V) of sense voltage for the full-scale current in each application. These can be increased by use of a higher minimum input voltage. Input Filters Some applications of current-sense amplifiers need to measure currents accurately even in the presence of both differential and common-mode ripple, as well as a wide variety of input transient conditions. For example, high-frequency ripple at the output of a switching buck or boost regulator results in a common-mode voltage at the inputs of the MAX9938. Alternatively, fast load-current transients, when measuring at the input of a switching buck or boost regulator, can cause high-frequency differential sense voltages to occur at the inputs of the MAX9938, although the signal of interest is the average DC value. Such highfrequency differential sense voltages may result in a voltage offset at the MAX9938 output. Accuracy In the linear region (VOUT < VOUT(max)), there are two components to accuracy: input offset voltage (VOS) and gain error (GE). For the MAX9938, VOS = 500μV (max) and gain error is 0.5% (max). Use the linear equation: VOUT = (gain ± GE) x VSENSE ± (gain x VOS) to calculate total error. A high RSENSE value allows lower currents to be measured more accurately because offsets are less significant when the sense voltage is larger. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 1µA, 4-Bump UCSP/SOT23, Precision Current-Sense Amplifier The MAX9938 allows two methods of filtering to help improve performance in the presence of input commonmode voltage and input differential voltage transients. Figure 1 shows a differential input filter. The capacitor CIN between RS+ and RS- along with the resistor RIN between the sense resistor and RS- helps filter against input differential voltages and prevents them from reaching the MAX9938. The corner frequency of this filter is determined by the choice of RIN, CIN, and the value of the input resistance at RS- (R1). See Table 1 for R1 values at the different gain options. The value of RIN should be chosen to minimize its effect on the input offset voltage due to the bias current at RS-. RIN x IBIAS contributes to the input voltage offset. IBIAS is typically 0.2μA. Placing RIN at the RS- input does not affect the gain error of the device because the gain is given by the ratio between ROUT and R1 at RS+. Figure 2 shows the input common-mode filter. Again, the corner frequency of the filter is determined by the choice of RIN, CIN and is affected by R1. In this case RIN affects both gain error and input offset voltage. RIN should be smaller than R1 so that it has negligible effect on the device gain. If, for example, a filter with RIN = 10Ω and CIN = 1μF is built, then depending upon the gain selection, the gain error is affected by either 2.5% (G = 25V/V, R1 = 400Ω) or 5% (G = 50V/V, R1 = 200Ω) or 10% (G = 100V/V, R1 = 100Ω) or 10% (G = 200V/V, R1 = 100Ω).
