19-5015; Rev 0; 11/09 KIT ATION EVALU E L B AVAILA -20V to +75V Input Range, Precision Uni-/Bidirectional, Current-Sense Amplifiers Features The MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920 are single-supply, high-accuracy current-sense amplifiers with a high input common-mode range that extends from -20V to +75V. These amplifiers are well suited for current monitoring of inductive loads such as motors and solenoids, where common-mode voltages can become negative due to inductive kickback, reverse-battery conditions, or transient events. The MAX9918/MAX9920 feature adjustable gain set by an external resistive-divider network. The MAX9919 features fixed gains of 45V/V (MAX9919F) and 90V/V (MAX9919N). The MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920 operate as unidirectional amplifiers when VREFIN = GND and as bidirectional amplifiers when VREFIN = VCC/2. The MAX9920 attenuates the input signal by a factor of 4 at the input level-shifting stage allowing the device to sense voltages up to 200mV (unidirectional operation) or ±100mV (bidirectional operation). o -20V to +75V Input Common-Mode Voltage Range o 400µV (max) Input Offset Voltage o 0.6% (max) Gain Accuracy Error o Uni- or Bidirectional Current Sensing o Reference Input for Bidirectional OUT o 120kHz, -3dB Bandwidth (MAX9919N) o Single-Supply Operation (4.5V to 5.5V) o 1mA Supply Current o 0.5µA (typ) Shutdown Current o Rail-to-Rail Output o -40°C to +125°C Automotive Temperature Range Ordering Information/ Selector Guide The MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920 operate with a single 5V supply voltage, are fully specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range, and are available in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Detailed Description The MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920 are single-supply, high-accuracy uni-/bidirectional current-sense amplifiers with a high common-mode input range that extends from -20V to +75V. The MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920’s input stage utilizes a pair of level shifters allowing a wide common-mode operating range when measuring the voltage drop (VSENSE) across the current-sense resistor. The first level shifter accommodates the upper commonmode operating range from +2V to +75V. When the common-mode voltage falls below +2V, the second level shifter is used to accommodate negative voltages down to -20V. The level shifters translate VSENSE to an internal reference voltage where it is then amplified with an instrumentation amplifier. The instrumentation amplifier configuration provides high precision with input offset voltages of 400µV (max). Indirect feedback of the instrumentation amplifier allows the gain to be adjusted with an external resistive-divider network on the MAX9918/MAX9920. The MAX9919 is a fixed gain device available with laser-trimmed resistors for gains of 45V/V (MAX9919F) and 90V/V (MAX9919N). The MAX9918/MAX9919 operate with a full-scale sense voltage of 50mV. The input stage of the MAX9920 provides an attenuation factor of 4, enabling a full-scale sense voltage of 200mV. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 13 MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920 Pin Configuration MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920 -20V to +75V Input Range, Precision Uni-/Bidirectional, Current-Sense Amplifiers Uni-/Bidirectional Operation The MAX9918/MAX9919 operate in bidirectional mode by application of a low-source impedance reference voltage in the 0V to VCC - 1.9V range, (typically VCC/2), to REFIN. For the MAX9920, the reference voltage range is 0V to VCC - 2.4V (typically VCC/2). The output voltage V OUT relative to V REFIN is then proportional to the ±VSENSE voltage drop from RS+ to RS- (Figure 2). The MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920 support both unidirectional and bidirectional operation. The devices operate in unidirectional mode with V REFIN = GND. The output is then referenced to ground and the output voltage VOUT is proportional to the positive voltage drop (VSENSE) from RS+ to RS- (Figure 1).

Bidirectional Operation 14 ______________________________________________________________________________________ VSENSE -20V to +75V Input Range, Precision Uni-/Bidirectional, Current-Sense Amplifiers Adjustable Gain (MAX9918/MAX9920) The MAX9918/MAX9920 feature externally adjustable gain set by a resistive-divider network circuit using resistors R1 and R2 (see the Functional Diagram). The gain frequency compensation is set for a minimum gain of 30V/V for the MAX9918 and 7.5V/V for the MAX9920. The gain G for the MAX9918/MAX9920 is given by the following equation: ⎛ R2 ⎞ G = ⎜1+ ⎟ (for MAX9918) ⎝ R1 ⎠ and Sense Resistor, RSENSE Choose RSENSE based on the following criteria: Accuracy: A high RSENSE value allows lower currents to be measured more accurately. This is because offsets become less significant when the sense voltage is larger. In the linear region (100mV < V OUT < V CC - 100mV), there are two components to accuracy: input offset voltage (VOS) and gain error (GE). Use the linear equation to calculate total error: VOUT = (G ± GE) x (VSENSE ± VOS) For best performance, select R SENSE to provide approximately 50mV (MAX9918/MAX9919) or 200mV (MAX9920) of sense voltage for the full-scale current in each application. Sense resistors of 5mΩ to 100mΩ are available with 1% accuracy or better. Efficiency and Power Dissipation ⎛ ⎛ R2 ⎞ ⎞ ⎜ ⎜⎝ 1 + R1 ⎟⎠ ⎟ G= ⎜ ⎟ (for MAX9920) 4 ⎜ ⎟ ⎜⎝ ⎟⎠ Applications Information Component Selection Ideally, the maximum load current develops the fullscale sense voltage across the current-sense resistor. Choose the gain needed to yield the maximum output voltage required for the application: VOUT = VSENSE x G where VSENSE is the full-scale sense voltage, 50mV for the MAX9918/MAX9919, or 200mV for the MAX9920 and G is the gain of the device. G is externally adjustable for the MAX9918/MAX9920. The MAX9919 has a fixed gain version of 45V/V (MAX9919F) or 90V/V (MAX9919N). In unidirectional applications (VREFIN = 0V), select the gain of the MAX9918/MAX9920 to utilize the full output range between GND and VCC. In bidirectional applications (VREFIN = VCC/2), select the gain to allow an output voltage range of ±VCC/2. VOUT must be at least 100mV from either rail to achieve the rated gain accuracy. At high current levels, the I2R losses in RSENSE can be significant. Take this into consideration when choosing the resistor value and its power dissipation (wattage) rating. Also, the sense resistor’s value might drift if it is allowed to heat up excessively. The precision VOS of the MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920 allows the use of small sense resistors to reduce power dissipation and reduce hot spots. Inductance: Keep inductance low if ISENSE has a large high-frequency component by using resistors with low inductance value. Power-Supply Bypassing and Grounding Bypass the MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920’s V CC to ground with a 0.1µF capacitor. Grounding these devices requires no special precautions; follow the same cautionary steps that apply to the rest of the system. High-current systems can experience large voltage drops across a ground plane, and this drop may add to or subtract from VOUT. Using a differential measurement between VOUT and REFIN prevents this problem. For highest current-measurement accuracy, use a single-point star ground. Connect the exposed pad to a solid ground to ensure optimal thermal performance. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 MAX9918/MAX9919/MAX9920 Shutdown Mode Drive SHDN high to enter low-power shutdown mode.
