The MAX471ESA from Maxim Integrated is a complete, bidirectional, high-side current-sense amplifier. It is suitable for systems where battery or DC power-line monitoring is critical, such as portable PCs and telephones. The device includes an internal 35mOhm current-sense resistor, allowing it to measure battery currents up to +/-3A. It operates from a wide supply voltage range of 3V to 36V and consumes less than 100µA over temperature. An optional 18µA shutdown mode is also available.
The MAX471ESA's high-side monitoring capability is particularly useful in battery-powered systems as it does not interfere with ground paths of battery chargers or monitors. The output current can be converted to a ground-referred voltage with a single resistor, accommodating a broad range of battery voltages and currents. An open-collector SIGN output indicates current flow direction, enabling monitoring of battery charging or discharging status.
This amplifier is available in an 8-SOIC package. Note that this part is 'Not Recommended for New Designs' due to its manufacturing process no longer being available.
