_______________General DescriptionThe MAX471/MAX472 are complete, bidirectional, high-
side current-sense amplifiers for portable PCs, tele-
phones, and other systems where battery/DC
power-line monitoring is critical. High-side power-line
monitoring is especially useful in battery-powered sys-
tems, since it does not interfere with the ground paths
of the battery chargers or monitors often found in
“smart” batteries.
The MAX471 has an internal 35mΩcurrent-sense resis-
tor and measures battery currents up to ±3A. For appli-
cations requiring higher current or increased flexibility,
the MAX472 functions with external sense and gain-set-
ting resistors. Both devices have a current output that
can be converted to a ground-referred voltage with a
single resistor, allowing a wide range of battery volt-
ages and currents.
An open-collector SIGN output indicates current-flow
direction, so the user can monitor whether a battery is
being charged or discharged. Both devices operate
from 3V to 36V, draw less than 100μA over tempera-
ture, and include a 18μA max shutdown mode.

_______________Detailed DescriptionThe MAX471 and MAX472 current-sense amplifier’s
unique topology allows a simple design to accurately
monitor current flow. The MAX471/MAX472 contain two
amplifiers operating as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The
battery/load current flows from RS+ to RS- (or vice
versa) through RSENSE. Current flows through either
RG1 and Q1 or RG2 and Q2, depending on the sense-
resistor current direction. Internal circuitry, not shown in
Figures 1 and 2, prevents Q1 and Q2 from turning on at
the same time. The MAX472 is identical to the
MAX471, except that RSENSEand gain-setting resistors
RG1 and RG2 are external (Figure 2).
To analyze the circuit of Figure 1, assume that current
flows from RS+ to RS- and that OUT is connected to
GND through a resistor. In this case, amplifier A1 is
active and output current IOUTflows from the emitter of
Q1. Since no current flows through RG2 (Q2 is off), the
negative input of A1 is equal to VSOURCE- (ILOADx
RSENSE). The open-loop gain of A1 forces its positive
input to essentially the same level as the negative input.
Therefore, the drop across RG1 equals ILOADx
RSENSE. Then, since IOUTflows through Q1 and RG
(ignoring the extremely low base currents), IOUTx RG1
= ILOADx RSENSE, or:
IOUT= (ILOADx RSENSE)/ RG1
Current OutputThe output voltage equation for the MAX471/MAX472 is
given below. In the MAX471, the current-gain ratio has
been preset to 500μA/A so that an output resistor
(ROUT) of 2kΩyields 1V/A for a full-scale value of +3V
at ±3A. Other full-scale voltages can be set with differ-
ent ROUTvalues, but the output voltage can be no
greater than VRS+- 1.5V for the MAX471 or VRG_- 1.5V
for the MAX472.
VOUT= (RSENSEx ROUTx ILOAD) / RG
where VOUT= the desired full-scale output voltage,
ILOAD= the full-scale current being sensed, RSENSE=
the current-sense resistor, ROUT= the voltage-setting
resistor, and RG = the gain-setting resistor (RG = RG1
= RG2).
The above equation can be modified to determine the
ROUTrequired for a particular full-scale range:
ROUT= (VOUTx RG) / (ILOADx RSENSE)
For the MAX471, this reduces to:
ROUT= VOUT/ (ILOADx 500μA/A)
OUT is a high-impedance current-source output that
can be connected to other MAX471/MAX472 OUT pins
