Precision Current-Sense Amplifier
The MAX9938 unidirectional high-side, current-sense
amplifier features a 1.6V to 28V input common-mode
range. This feature allows the monitoring of current out
of a battery with a voltage as low as 1.6V. The
MAX9938 monitors current through a current-sense
resistor and amplifies the voltage across that resistor.
The MAX9938 is a unidirectional current-sense amplifier
that has a well-established history. An op amp is used
to force the current through an internal gain resistor at
RS+, which has a value of R
equals the voltage drop across an external sense resis-
tor, R
