MAX40016 4-Decade Current Sense Amplifier with Integrated Current Sense Element General Description Benefits and Features The MAX40016 is a very wide range current sense amplifier Integrated Current Sense Element Saves The Space (CSA) with internal sense element that senses from less and Cost of Expensive Precision Sense Resistors than 300A to greater than 3A current range. The 4-decade 4-Decade Measurement Range sensed current functions with 1% (typical) gain error and Maintains Accuracy from < 300A to > 3A offers three, multiplexed programmable output ranges in Withstands Overloads to 4A order to interface with 12-bit ADCs. Having an integrated sense element has the extra advantage that the entire Low Voltage Drop Across Sense Element current measuring path can be factory-trimmed, saving the 60mV (Active Mode, 3A Load, WLP Package) user from having to calibrate independent sense resistors 35mV (Low Power Mode, 3A Load, WLP Package) and CSAs. The MAX40016 (WLP package) drops a typical Three Multiplexed Scaling Resistor Outputs Allow of 60mV at 3A from the voltage input to load output. Full Dynamic Range while Interfaced to 12-bit ADCs The MAX40016 s integrated current-sensing element +2.5V to +5.5V Input Supply Voltage Range saves the space and cost of an external high-power, Low Power Mode Reduces Supply Current to 10A precision current sense resistor. The MAX40016 is offered Max in an ultra-tiny, 1.98mm x 1.31mm, 15-bump wafer- level package (WLP), further reducing board space. The Space-Saving MAX40016 is also available in a 4mm x 4mm 16-pin Tiny 1.98mm x 1.3mm, 15-Bump WLP TQFN package. 4mm x 4mm 16-Pin TQFN The MAX40016 operates with a supply voltage from 2.5V -40C to +125C Operating Temperature Range to 5.5V. The device features a low-power mode in which the current-sensing element remains on, but the outputs are turned off to reduce the total supply current below 10A (max). The MAX40016 also includes a committed on-board Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet. amplifier with an internal gain of 1.5V/V. The MAX40016 operates over the -40C to +125C temperature range.
