MAX4378
Single/Dual/Quad, High-Side Current-Sense
Amplifiers with Internal Gain
General Description
The MAX4376/MAX4377/MAX4378 single, dual, and
quad precision high-side current-sense amplifiers are
available in space-saving packages. They feature
buffered voltage outputs that eliminate the need for
gain-setting resistors and are ideal for today’s notebook
computers, cell phones, and other systems where cur-
rent monitoring is critical. These precision devices are
offered in three fixed-gain versions of 20, 50, and 100:

For example, MAX4376TAUK is a single high-side
amplifier with a gain of 20.
High-side current monitoring is especially useful in bat-
tery-powered systems since it does not interfere with
the ground path of the battery charger. The input com-
mon-mode range of 0 to +28V is independent of the
supply voltage and ensures that the current-sense
feedback remains viable even when connected to a
battery pack in deep discharge.
The full-scale current reading can be set by choosing
the appropriate voltage gain and external-sense resis-
tor. This capability offers a high level of integration and
flexibility, resulting in a simple and compact current-
sense solution.
The MAX4376/MAX4377/MAX4378 operate over a sup-
ply voltage range of +3V to +28V, draw 1mA of supply
current per amplifier, and operate over the full automo-
tive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. These
devices have a wide bandwidth of 2MHz, making them
suitable for use inside battery-charger control loops.
The buffered outputs drive up to 2mA of output current
into a ground-referenced load.
The MAX4376 is available in a tiny 5-pin SOT23 pack-
age. The MAX4377/MAX4378 are available in space-
saving 8-pin µMAX
®
and 14-pin TSSOP packages,
respectively.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation 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.
