SPI Programmable-Gain Amplifier with Input VOS Trim and Output Op Amp
General Description
The MAX9939 is a general-purpose, differential-input programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) that is ideal for conditioning a variety of wide dynamic range signals such as those found in motor current-sense, medical instrumentation, 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. 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 operates from a single supply VCC between 2.9V to 5.5V, it 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. The output amplifier is designed for high bandwidth and low-bias currents, making it ideal for use in multiple-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 shutdown 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 automotive temperature range. o Extremely Low Gain Tempco o Integrated Amplifier for R/C Programmable Active Filter o Input Offset-Voltage Compensation o Input Protection to ±16V o 13µA Software Shutdown Mode o -40°C to +125°C Operating Temperature Range o 10-Pin µMAX Package

Note 1: Note 2: Note 3: Note 4: Note 5:
All devices are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C. Temperature limits are guaranteed by design. The input offset voltage includes the effects of mismatches in the internal VCC/2 resistor dividers. For gain of 0.25V/V, the input common-mode range is -1V to VCC - 2V. The input current of a CMOS device is too low to be accurately measured on an ATE and is typically on the order of 1pA. Parts are functional with fSCLK = 10MHz.

Detailed Description
The MAX9939 is a general-purpose PGA with input offset trim capability. Its gain and input offset voltage (VOS) are SPI programmable. The device also includes an uncommitted output operational amplifier that can be used as either a high-order active filter or to provide a differential output. The device can be put into shutdown through SPI. The gain of the amplifier is programmable between 0.2V/V and 157V/V. The input offset is programmable between ±17mV and can be used to regain output dynamic range in high gain settings. An input offset-voltage measurement mode enables input offset voltage to
be calibrated out in firmware to obtain excellent DC accuracy. The main amplifier accepts a differential input and provides a single-ended output. The relationship between the differential input and singled-ended output is given by the representative equation: VOUTA = VCC/2 + Gain x (VINA+ - VINA-) + Gain x VOS
Architecture
The MAX9939 features three internal amplifiers as shown in the Functional Diagram. The first amplifier (amplifier LVL) is configured as a differential amplifier for differential to single-ended conversion with an input offset-voltage trim network. It has extremely high

CMRR, gain accuracy, and very low temperature drift due to precise resistor matching. The output of this amplifier is level shifted to VCC/2. This amplifier is followed by a programmable-gain inverting amplifier (amplifier A) with programmable RF and RI resistors whose gain varies between 0.2V/V and 157V/V. The output of this amplifier is biased at VCC/2 and has extremely high gain accuracy and low temperature drift. The MAX9939 has an uncommitted op amp (amplifier B) whose noninverting input is referenced to VCC/2. Its inverting input and output are externally accessible, allowing it to be configured either as an active filter or as a differential output. A robust input ESD protection scheme allows input voltages at INA+ and INA- to reach ±16V without damaging the MAX9939, thus making the part extremely attractive for use in front-ends that can be exposed to high voltages during fault conditions. In addition, its input-voltage range extends down to -VCC/2 (e.g., -2.5V when powered from a 5V single supply) allowing the MAX9939 to translate below ground signals to a 0V to 5V output signal. This feature simplifies interfacing ground-referenced signals with unipolar-input ADCs.
of 8 bits (1 byte). Pull CS high after the 8th bit has been clocked in to latch the data and before sending the next byte of instruction. Note that the internal register is not updated if CS is pulled high before the falling edge of the 8th clock pulse.
Register Description
The MAX9939 consists of three registers: a shift register and two internal registers. The shift register accepts data and transfers it to either of the two internal registers. The two internal registers store data that is used to determine the gain, input offset voltage, and operating modes of the amplifier. The two internal registers are the Input VOS Trim register and Gain register. The format of the 8-bit write to these registers is shown in Tables 1 and 2. Data is sent to the shift register LSB first. SEL: The SEL bit selects which internal register is written to. Set SEL to 0 to write bits D5:D1 to the input VOS trim register. Set SEL to 1 to write D4:D1 to the Gain register (D5 is don’t care when SEL = 1).

SPI-Compatible Serial Interface
The MAX9939 has a write-only interface, consisting of three inputs: the clock signal (SCLK), data input (DIN), and chip-select input (CS). The serial interface works with the clock polarity (CPOL) and clock phase (CPHA) both set to 0 (see Figure 1). Initiating a write to the MAX9939 is accomplished by pulling CS low. Data is clocked in on the rising edge of each clock pulse, and is written LSB first. Each write to the MAX9939 consists

SPI Programmable-Gain Amplifier with Input VOS Trim and Output Op Amp
SHDN: Set SHDN to 0 for normal operation. Set SHDN to 1 to place the device in a low-power 13µA shutdown mode. In shutdown mode, the outputs OUTA and OUTB are high impedance, however, the SPI decode circuitry is still active. Each instruction requires a write to the SHDN bit. MEAS: The MAX9939 provides a means for measuring its own input offset voltage. When MEAS is set to 1, the INA- input is disconnected from the input signal path and internally shorted to INA+. This architecture thus allows the input common-mode voltage to be compensated at the application-specific input common-mode voltage of interest. The input offset voltage of the PGA is the output offset voltage divided by the programmed gain without any VOS trim (i.e., V3:V0 set to 0): VOS-INHERENT = (VOUTA - VCC/2)/Gain Program VOS to offset VOS-INHERENT. The input VOS also includes the effect of mismatches in the resistordividers. Setting MEAS to 0 switches the inputs back to the signals on INA+ and INA-. Each instruction requires a write to the MEAS bit.
Programming Input Offset Voltage (VOS) The input offset voltage is set by the bits V4:V0 in the Input Offset Voltage Trim register. Bit V4 determines the polarity of the offset. Setting V4 to 0 makes the offset positive, while setting V4 to 1 makes the offset negative. Table 4 shows the relationship between V3:V0 and VOS. To determine the effect of VOS at the output of the amplifier for gains other than 1, use the following formula: VOUTA = VCC/2 + Gain x (VOS-INHERENT + VOS) where VOS-INHERENT is the inherent input offset voltage of the amplifier, which can be measured by setting MEAS to 1.

Applications Information
Use of Output Amplifier as Active Filter
The output amplifier can be configured as a multiplefeedback active filter as shown in Figure 3, which traditionally has better stopband attenuation characteristics than Sallen-Key filters. These filters also possess inherently better distortion performance since there are no common-mode induced effects (i.e., the commonmode voltage of the operational amplifier is always fixed at VCC/2 instead of it being signal dependent such as in Sallen-Key filters). Choose external resistors and capacitors to create lowpass, bandpass, or highpass filters.
Programming Gain The PGA’s gain is set by the bits G3:G0 in the Gain register. Table 3 shows the relationship between the bits G3:G0 and the amplifier’s gain. The slew rate and small-signal bandwidth (SSBW) of the PGA depend on its gain setting as shown in Table 3.

Use of Output Operational Amplifier as TIA
CMOS inputs on the output op amp makes it ideal for use as an input transimpedance amplifier (TIA) in certain current-output sensor applications. In such a situation, keep in mind that the inverting input operates at fixed voltage of VCC/2. Use a high-value resistor as a feedback gain element, and use a feedback capacitor in parallel with this resistor if necessary to aid amplifier stability in the presence of high photodiode or cable capacitance. The output of this TIA can be routed to INA+ or INA- for further processing and signal amplification.
Power-Supply Bypassing
Bypass VCC to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor in parallel with a 1µF low-ESR capacitor placed as close as possible to the MAX9939.
Differential-Input, Differential-Output PGA
The output amplifier can be configured so that the MAX9939 operates as a differential-input, differentialoutput programmable gain amplifier. As shown in Figure 4, use a 10kΩ resistor between OUTA and INB, and between INB and OUTB. Such a differential-output configuration is ideal for use in low-voltage applications that can benefit from the 2X output voltage dynamic range when compared to single-ended output format.
