MAX40016
4-Decade Current Sense Amplifier
with Internal R
SENSE
General Description
The MAX40016 is a very wide range current sense amplifier
(CSA) with internal sense element that senses from less
than 300µA to greater than 3A current range. The 4-decade
sensed current functions with 1% (typical) gain error and
offers three, multiplexed programmable output ranges in
order to interface with 12-bit ADCs. Having an integrated
sense element has the extra advantage that the entire
current measuring path can be factory-trimmed, saving the
user from having to calibrate independent sense resistors
and CSAs. The MAX40016 drops a typical of 60mV at 3A
from the voltage input to load output.
The MAX40016's integrated current-sensing element
saves the space and cost of an external high-power,
precision current sense resistor. The MAX40016 is offered
in an ultra-tiny, 1.98mm x 1.31mm, 15-bump wafer-level
package (WLP), further reducing board space.
The MAX40016 operates with a supply voltage from 2.5V
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
10µA (max).
The MAX40016 also includes a committed on-board
amplifier with an internal gain of 1.5V/V. The MAX40016
operates over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

Note that a “+”,
“#”, or “-” in the package code indicates RoHS status only. Package drawings may show a different suffix character, but the drawing
pertains to the package regardless of RoHS status.
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-layer board.
