This feature allows the monitoring of current out of a battery as low as 2.7V and enables high-side current sensing at voltages greater than the supply voltage (V DD ). The MAX44285 monitors current through a current-sense resistor and amplifies the voltage across the resistor. High-side current monitoring does not interfere with the ground path of the load being measured, making the MAX44285 particularly useful in a wide range of highvoltage systems. The MAX44285 operates as follows: current from the source flows through R SENSE to the load (see Functional Diagram), creating a sense voltage, V SENSE. The internal op amp A1 is used to force the current through an internal gain resistor R G11 at RS1+ pin, such that its voltage drop equals the voltage drop (V SENSE ) across the external sense resistor (R SENSE ). The internal resistor at RS1- pin (R G12 ) has the same value as R G11 to minimize error. The current through R G11 is sourced by a high-voltage p-channel FET. Its source current is the same as the drain current which flows through a second gain resistor, R 1, producing a voltage V R1 = V SENSE x R 1 /R G11. The output voltage V OUT1 is produced from a second op amp A2 with the gain (1 + R F1 /R 1 ). Hence, the V OUT1 = I LOAD1 x R SENSE1 (R 1 /R G11 ) x (1 + R F1 / R 1 ) for channel 1 and V OUT2 = I LOAD2 x R SENSE2 (R 2 /R G21 ) x (1 + R F2 / R 2 ) for channel 2. Internal resistor R 1 = R 2, R G11 = R G12 = R G21 = R G22, R F1 = R F2. The gain-setting resistors R 1, R 2, R G11, R G12, R G21, R G22, R F1, and R F2 are available in Table 1): Total gain = 12.5V/V for MAX44285L, 2V/V for the MAX44285T, 5V/V for the MAX44285F, and 1V/V for the MAX44285H. www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated 8

Choose the gain needed to yield the maximum output voltage required for the application: V OUT = V SENSE x A V where V SENSE is the full-scale sense voltage, 2mV for gain of 12.5V/V, 125mV for gain of 2V/V, 5mV for gain of 5V/V, 25mV for gain of 1V/V, and A V is the gain of the device. In applications monitoring a high current, ensure that R SENSE is able to dissipate its own I2R loss. If the resistor s power dissipation exceeds the nominal value, its value may drift or it may fail altogether. The MAX44285 senses a wide variety of currents with different senseresistor values. Choosing the Sense Resistor Choose R SENSE based on the following criteria: Voltage Loss: A high R SENSE value causes the powersource voltage to degrade through IR loss. For minimal voltage loss, use the lowest R SENSE value. Accuracy: A high R SENSE value allows lower currents measured more accurately. This is due to offsets becoming less significant when the sense voltage is larger. For best performance, select R SENSE to provide approximately 2mV (gain of 12.5V/V), 125mV (gain of 2V/V), or 5mV (gain of 5V/V), 25mV (gain of 1V/V) of sense voltage for the full-scale current in each application. Efficiency and Power Dissipation: At high current levels, the I2R losses in R SENSE can be significant. Consider this when choosing the resistor value and its power dissipation (wattage) rating. In addition, the sense resistor s value might drift if it heats up excessively. Inductance: Keep inductance low if I SENSE has a large high-frequency component. Wire-wound resistors have the highest inductance, while metal film is somewhat better. Low-inductance, metal-film resistors are also available. Instead of being spiral wrapped around a core, as in metal-film or wire wound resistors, they are a straight band of metal and are available in values under 1Ω. Take care to eliminate parasitic trace resistance from causing errors in the sense voltage because of the high currents that flow through R SENSE. Either use a four terminal current-sense resistor or use Kelvin (force and sense) PCB layout techniques. Base Station Application Circuit An example of a typical application (Figure 1) of this high-voltage, high-precision current-sense amplifier is in base-station systems where there is a need to monitor the current flowing in the power amplifier. Such amplifiers, depending on the technology, can be biased up to 5V or 6V thus requiring a current-sense amplifier like the MAX44285 with high-voltage common mode. The very low input offset voltage of the MAX44285 minimizes the value of the external sense resistor thus resulting in system power-saving. www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated 9
