MAX4172ESA+

MAX4172ESA+ is a low-cost, precision, high-side current sense amplifier for portable PCs, telephones, and other systems where battery/DC power-line monitoring is critical. High-side power-line monitoring is especially useful in battery-powered systems, since it does not interfere with the battery charger’s ground path. Wide bandwidth and ground-sensing capability make the device suitable for closed-loop battery-charger and general-purpose current source applications. The 0 to 32V input common-mode range is independent of the supply voltage, which ensures that current-sense feedback remains viable, even when connected to a battery in deep discharge. Applications include portable PCs: notebooks/subnotebooks/palmtops, battery-powered/portable equipment, closed-loop battery chargers/current sources, smart-battery packs, portable/cellular phones, portable test/measurement systems, energy management systems.
