MAX9934
High-Precision, Low-Voltage, Current-Sense Amplifier
with Current Output and Chip Select for Multiplexing
General Description
The MAX9934 high-precision, low-voltage, high-side
current-sense amplifier is ideal for both bidirectional
(charge/discharge) and unidirectional current measure-
ments in battery-powered portable and laptop devices.
Input offset voltage (V
OS
) is a low 10µV (max) at +25°C
across the -0.1V to 5.5V input common-mode voltage
range, and is independent of V
CC
. Its precision input
specification allows the use of very small sense volt-
ages (typically ±10mV full-scale) for minimally invasive
current sensing.
The output of the MAX9934 is a current proportional to
input V
SENSE
and is available in either 25µA/mV or
5µA/mV gain options (G
M
) with gain accuracy better
than 0.25% (max) at +25°C. A chip select (CS) allows
multiplexing of several MAX9934 current outputs to a
single microcontroller ADC channel (see the
Typical
Operating Circuit).
CS is compatible with 1.8V and 3.3V
logic systems.
The MAX9934 is designed to operate from a 2.5V to
3.6V V
CC
supply, and draws just 120µA (typ) quiescent
current. When powered down (V
CC
= 0), RS+ and RS-
draw less than 0.1nA (typ) leakage current to reduce
battery load. The MAX9934 is robust and protected
from input faults of up to ±6V input differential voltage
between RS+ and RS-.
The MAX9934 is specified for operation over the -40°C
to +125°C temperature range and is available in an
8-pin µMAX
®
or a 6-bump UCSP™ (1mm x 1.5mm x
0.6mm), making it ideal for space-sensitive applications.

Note 1:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-layer
board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maximintegrated.com/thermal-tutorial.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
