General Description
The MAX9939 is a general-purpose, differential-input
programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) that is ideal for con-
ditioning a variety of wide dynamic range signals such
as those found in motor current-sense, medical instru-
mentation, and sonar data acquisition applications. It
features programmable differential gains from 0.2V/V to
157V/V, input offset-voltage compensation, and an out-
put amplifier that can be configured either as a high-
order active filter or to provide a differential output.
The PGA is optimized for high-signal bandwidth and its
gain can be programmed to be 0.2V/V, 1V/V, 10V/V,
20V/V, 30V/V, 40V/V, 60V/V, 80V/V, 119V/V, and 157V/V.
Precision resistor matching provides extremely low gain
tempco and high CMRR. Although the MAX9939 oper-
ates from a single supply V
CC
between 2.9V to 5.5V, it
can process signals both above and below ground due
to the use of an input level-shifting amplifier stage.
Furthermore, its inputs are protected to ±16V, allowing it
to withstand fault conditions and signal overranges.
The output amplifier is designed for high bandwidth
and low-bias currents, making it ideal for use in multi-
ple-feedback active filter topologies that offer much
higher Qs and stopband attenuation than Sallen-Key
architectures.
The MAX9939 draws 3.4mA of quiescent supply current
at 5V, and includes a software-programmable shut-
down mode that reduces its supply current to only
13µA. The MAX9939 is available in a 10-pin µMAX
®
package and operates over the -40°C to +125°C auto-
motive temperature range.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
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 2: The input offset voltage includes the effects of mismatches in the internal V
CC

CC
- 2V.
Note 4: The input current of a CMOS device is too low to be accurately measured on an ATE and is typically on the order of 1pA.
