General Description
The MAX4372 low-cost, precision, high-side current sense amplifier is available in a tiny, space-saving SOT23-5-pin package. Offered in three gain versions (T = 20V/V, F = 50V/V, and H = 100V/V), this device operates from a single 2.7V to 28V supply and consumes only 30µA. It features a voltage output that eliminates the need for gain-setting resistors and is ideal for today’s notebook computers, cell phones, and other systems where battery/DC current monitoring is critical.
