MAX9643
60V High-Speed Precision Current-Sense Amplifier
General Description
The MAX9643 is a high-speed 60V precision unidirec-
tional current-sense amplifier ideal for a wide variety of
power-supply control applications. Its high signal band-
width allows its use within DC-DC switching converter
power-supply control loops with minimal phase delay.
The IC also features 50FV (max) precision input offset
voltage, allowing small sense resistors to be used in
applications where efficiency is important and when wide
dynamic-range current measurement is needed.
High DC CMRR and AC CMRR make it easy to use in
a wide variety of aggressive environments. The device
is available in fixed gains of 2.5V/V and 10V/V. It is also
available in a small, 8-pin TDFN (2mm x 3mm) package
and is rated over the -40NC to +125NC temperature range.

Note 1:
Voltages below -3.5V are allowed, as long as the input current is limited to 5mA by an external resistor.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
