Overview

The MAX40056FAUA+ is a high-side bidirectional current-sense amplifier designed specifically for monitoring inductive loads subject to high-speed PWM signals. It features a unique PWM rejection circuitry that suppresses common-mode transients up to 500V/us, ensuring accurate current measurements without the need for external filtering that can introduce phase lag.

Why Choose This Part

The device offers a wide -0.1V to +65V input range with 140dB DC CMRR and 60dB AC CMRR at 50V. Its integrated 1% reference simplifies bidirectional sensing designs, while the 1.5V/us slew rate and 300kHz bandwidth provide fast response times for PWM-heavy environments.

Applications

Solenoid Control
Accurate monitoring of solenoid current in automotive and industrial valves where high-speed switching is present.
Phase Current Sensing
In-phase motor current sensing for brushless DC (BLDC) motors to provide high-bandwidth feedback for control loops.
Actuator Monitoring
Precision current feedback for linear and rotary actuators used in safety-critical robotics and automotive systems.
Battery Management Systems
Monitoring charge and discharge cycles in systems requiring high-side sensing up to 65V.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, use the MAX40056EVKIT evaluation board which allows for quick testing of different gain variants and PWM rejection performance. Ensure the sense resistor is placed as close to the IC pins as possible to minimize parasitic inductance and maintain measurement accuracy.

Also Consider

MAX4080 Maxim Integrated - A high-side unidirectional option for applications that do not require the PWM rejection features or bidirectional sensing of the MAX40056.
