Not Recommended for New Designs
This product was manufactured for Maxim by an outside wafer foundry
using a process that is no longer available. It is not recommended for
new designs. The data sheet remains available for existing users.
A Maxim replacement or an industry second-source may be available.

_______________General Description
The 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 35mcurrent-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.

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

Note 1: Due to special packaging considerations, MAX471 (DIP, SO) has a higher power dissipation rating than the MAX472. RS+
and RS- must be soldered to large copper traces to achieve this dissipation rating.
