DESCRIPTION
The
voltage-output
TSM9938F
current-sense
amplifier is electrically and form-factor identical to the
MAX9938F current-sense amplifier. Consuming a
very low 1μA supply current, the TSM9938F high-side
current-sense amplifier exhibits a 500-µV (max) V
OS
and a 0.5% (max) gain error, both specifications
optimized for any precision current measurement. For
all high-side current-sensing applications, the
TSM9938F features a wide input common-mode
voltage range from 1.6V to 28V.
The SOT23 package makes the TSM9938F an ideal
choice for pcb-area-critical, low-current, high-
accuracy current-sense applications in all battery-
powered portable instruments.
The TSM9938F is specified for operation over the
-40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

Electrical and thermal 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 condition beyond those indicated in the operational sections
of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability and
lifetime.

Note 1:
All devices are 100% production tested at T
A
= +25°C. All temperature limits are guaranteed by product
characterization.
Note 2:
Extrapolated to V
OUT
= 0. I
CC
is the total current into the RS+ and the RS- pins.
Note 3:
Input offset voltage V
OS
is extrapolated from V
OUT
with V
SENSE
set to 1mV.
Note 4:
Gain error is calculated by applying two values for V
SENSE
and then calculating the error of the actual slope vs. the
ideal transfer characteristic:
For GAIN = 50, the applied V
SENSE
is 10mV and 60mV.
Note 5:
The device is stable for any capacitive load at V
OUT
.
Note 6:
V
OH
is the voltage from V
RS-
to V
OUT
with V
SENSE
= 3.6V/GAIN.
