Maxim Integrated
General Description
The MAX4373/MAX4374/MAX4375 low-cost, micropower, high-side current-sense supervisors contain a highside current-sense amplifier, bandgap reference, and comparator with latching output. They feature a voltage output that eliminates the need for gain-setting resistors, making them ideal for today’s notebook computers, cell phones, and other systems where battery/DC current monitoring is critical.
