Product details
Overview
The MAX9919NASA+ from Maxim Integrated is a fixed-gain, high-accuracy, unidirectional/bidirectional current-sense amplifier with -20V to +75V input common-mode range, 90V/V gain, ±50mV full-scale sense voltage, and rail-to-rail output. It operates from a single 4.5V–5.5V supply, supports automotive-grade operation from -40°C to +125°C, and is used for precision motor and solenoid current monitoring in H-bridge and high-side/low-side configurations.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9919NASA+ datasheet, MAX9919NASA+ pinout, MAX9919NASA+ application, or MAX9919NASA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 120kHz bandwidth, 400µV max input offset voltage, 0.6% max gain accuracy error, and compatibility with bidirectional sensing via VREFIN = VCC/2 - critical for battery charge/discharge and inductive load protection designs.
Technical Context
The MAX9919NASA+ employs dual-level-shifting input architecture to maintain precision across its extended -20V to +75V common-mode range: one stage handles +2V to +75V, another handles -20V to +2V. Its laser-trimmed 90V/V fixed gain eliminates external resistor networks required by adjustable-gain variants like MAX9918.
It supports both unidirectional (VREFIN = GND) and bidirectional (VREFIN = VCC/2) operation, delivering rail-to-rail output referenced either to ground or to VREFIN. The device features internal instrumentation amplification with indirect feedback, enabling high CMRR (96dB over full common-mode range) and low input bias current (±250µA max).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | Fixed 90V/V - delivers 4.5V output for ±50mV input, enabling full ADC utilization with 5V supply |
| Input Common-Mode Range | -20V to +75V - supports negative kickback and reverse-battery conditions without clamping |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.4mV max (–40°C to +125°C) - ensures sub-0.5% error at 50mV full-scale sensing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX9919FASA+ | Fixed 45V/V gain, same package and temperature grade; 250kHz bandwidth vs. 120kHz | Better suited for higher-speed current loops (e.g., fast-switching GaN inverters) where lower gain reduces output swing requirements | Select MAX9919FASA+ when full-scale output must stay below 2.25V for 50mV sense voltage - e.g., interfacing to 2.5V ADC references |
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | TI AEC-Q100 qualified, 20V/V gain, –4V to 80V common-mode, 4V/V to 500V/V selectable gain via pins | Wider common-mode range but lower gain accuracy (±0.9% vs. ±0.6%) and no laser-trimmed fixed 90V/V option | Choose INA240A1QDRQ1 only if system requires programmable gain or operation beyond +75V common-mode - not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with MAX9919FASA+ and INA240A1QDRQ1, the MAX9919NASA+ provides the highest fixed gain (90V/V) and tightest gain accuracy (±0.6%) in an automotive-qualified 8-pin SO-EP package, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-precision 50mV-sense applications where output swing to 4.5V is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the MAX9919NASA+ can handle?
The MAX9919NASA+ supports an input common-mode voltage range of –20V to +75V. This allows direct connection to high-side or low-side sense resistors in 12V, 24V, and 48V automotive systems, including handling inductive kickback and reverse-battery conditions without external protection circuitry. Absolute maximum ratings extend RS+/RS– to –30V/+80V for 15 minutes at VCC = 0V.
Does the MAX9919NASA+ require external gain-setting resistors?
No, the MAX9919NASA+ does not require external gain-setting resistors. It features laser-trimmed fixed gain of 90V/V, eliminating the need for external R1/R2 networks used in the adjustable-gain MAX9918/MAX9920. Pin 6 (FB) must be left unconnected for proper operation of the MAX9919NASA+.
How do I configure the MAX9919NASA+ for bidirectional current sensing?
To configure the MAX9919NASA+ for bidirectional current sensing, apply a low-impedance reference voltage of VCC/2 to pin 7 (REFIN). This sets the output midpoint to VCC/2, allowing VOUT to swing above and below that point proportionally to positive or negative VSENSE. Ensure REFIN is driven from a stable, low-noise source - internal divider is not recommended.
Is the MAX9919NASA+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the MAX9919NASA+ is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 0, –40°C to +125°C ambient), as indicated by the "/V+" suffix in its ordering code. It undergoes full automotive stress testing including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD per AEC-Q100 Rev H, making it suitable for engine control, transmission, and ADAS subsystems.
What is the typical power supply current of the MAX9919NASA+?
The MAX9919NASA+ draws 1.0mA to 1.6mA supply current (ICC) depending on common-mode voltage and temperature, with a maximum of 2.2mA over –40°C to +125°C. In shutdown mode (SHDN ≥2.0V), ICC drops to ≤10µA - enabling ultra-low-power monitoring in always-on vehicle modules.
