Overview

The MAX44284FAWT+T is a high-precision, ultra-low-power current-sense amplifier designed for monitoring current in power-constrained systems. It features an extremely low input offset voltage of 2 uV and a low supply current of 21 uA, making it ideal for precision measurements at low power levels. The device operates with a common-mode input voltage range from -0.1V to 36V, independent of the supply voltage.

Why Choose This Part

This amplifier offers an exceptional gain accuracy of 0.05 percent and a very low 2 nA input bias current. The 6-WLP package provides a tiny 0.85mm x 1.25mm footprint, while the 3 kHz bandwidth is optimized for low-noise DC and low-frequency current monitoring. It includes a shutdown mode that reduces current consumption to approximately 0.3 uA for further power savings.

Applications

Battery-Powered IoT Nodes
Used to monitor micro-amp level discharge rates and standby currents to extend battery life in remote sensors.
Energy Harvesting Systems
Precise monitoring of small charge currents from solar or thermal transducers with minimal overhead power consumption.
Smart Phone Power Management
High-side current sensing for charging and system rail monitoring where PCB space is at a premium.
Industrial Sensor Loops
Measuring 4-20mA current loops in instrumentation where high accuracy and low thermal drift are required.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, use the MAX44284EVKIT evaluation board which allows for easy testing of different gain variants and common-mode ranges. Ensure the input shunt resistor is placed close to the amplifier pins to minimize trace resistance errors in high-precision layouts. For software integration, the analog output can be directly interfaced with a high-resolution ADC or microcontroller analog input pin.
