Product details
Overview
The MAX9923FEUB+ from Maxim Integrated is an ultra-precision, high-side current-sense amplifier with fixed 250V/V gain, ±10µV max input offset voltage over temperature, ±0.8% max gain accuracy across -40°C to +85°C, and 1.9V–28V input common-mode voltage range independent of supply. It enables accurate bidirectional battery current monitoring in Li+-powered portable systems where minimal sense voltage (e.g., 10mV full-scale) and rail-to-rail output are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MAX9923FEUB+ datasheet, MAX9923FEUB+ pinout, MAX9923FEUB+ application, or MAX9923FEUB+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its laser-trimmed 250V/V fixed gain, sub-1µA shutdown current, spread-spectrum autozeroing architecture for drift-free operation, and µMAX package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The MAX9923FEUB+ implements Maxim's indirect current-feedback architecture: differential input voltage is converted to a precision current, then compared against a feedback current derived from VOUT/GAIN, enabling ultra-low offset and high CMRR (121–140dB). Its spread-spectrum autozeroing continuously measures and cancels input offset, eliminating 1/f noise and thermal drift.
It supports both unidirectional (REF = GND) and bidirectional (REF = VDD/2) operation, with output swing within 25mV of rails and full accuracy maintained only when VOUT stays ≥250mV from supply rails. Input differential range is specified up to ±150mV, but linear operation is not guaranteed beyond that limit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | Fixed 250V/V - eliminates external resistor network, reduces layout sensitivity and component count |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±10µV over -40°C to +85°C - enables accurate measurement of ≤40mV sense voltage at 0.1% error |
| Gain Accuracy (max) | ±0.8% over temperature - ensures consistent current scaling without calibration across operating range |
| Common-Mode Input Range | +1.9V to +28V, independent of VDD - allows direct sensing on batteries as low as 1.9V or high-voltage rails >5.5V |
| Supply Current | 700µA typical at 3.0V - minimizes system power overhead in always-on monitoring applications |
| Shutdown Current | <1µA - preserves battery life during sleep modes in portable equipment |
| Small-Signal Bandwidth | 2.5kHz - sufficient for DC–slow transient battery charge/discharge profiling, not high-speed switching |
Pinout & Package
MAX9923FEUB+ is housed in a 10-pin µMAX® package (3mm × 3mm, 0.5mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 4 (N.C.) is not internally connected and must remain floating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 RSB | Input stage supply | Connected to RS+ or RS− to bias internal transconductance stage; enables operation at VCM up to 28V regardless of VDD |
| 2 RS+ | Positive current-sense input | High-side connection to sense resistor's load-side terminal; referenced to RSB, not GND |
| 3 RS− | Negative current-sense input | High-side connection to sense resistor's source-side terminal; completes differential input path |
| 4 N.C. | No connection | Not bonded; must be left unconnected and unstubbed on PCB |
| 5 GND | Analog ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 6 SHDN | Logic shutdown control | Active-low input; drives low to reduce total supply current to <1µA; compatible with 3.3V/5V logic |
| 7 REF | Bidirectional reference input | Set to GND for unidirectional output; set to VDD/2 for symmetric ±VOUT swing around reference |
| 8 FB | Fixed-gain feedback node | Internally tied to 1kΩ resistor between FB and REF; no external components required for gain setting |
| 9 OUT | Voltage output | Rail-to-rail output proportional to VSENSE × 250; VOUT = 250 × (RS+ − RS−) + VREF |
| 10 VDD | Power supply input | +2.85V to +5.5V single supply; requires 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor to GND adjacent to pin |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum input common-mode voltage supported by the MAX9923FEUB+?
The MAX9923FEUB+ supports an input common-mode voltage range of +1.9V to +28V, fully independent of the VDD supply voltage. This allows direct high-side sensing on Li+ batteries as low as 1.9V or industrial 24V rails without level-shifting. The RSB pin must be connected to either RS+ or RS− to enable this extended range, and absolute maximum ratings limit RSB/RS+/RS− to +30V relative to GND.
How does the MAX9923FEUB+ achieve ±10µV maximum input offset voltage over temperature?
The MAX9923FEUB+ achieves ±10µV max input offset voltage over -40°C to +85°C through a combination of laser-trimmed internal resistors and Maxim's spread-spectrum autozeroing technique. This architecture continuously measures and cancels input offset in real time, eliminating drift due to temperature and time, and suppressing 1/f noise - a key differentiator from conventional chopper-stabilized amplifiers.
Can the MAX9923FEUB+ operate in bidirectional current-sense mode, and how is it configured?
Yes, the MAX9923FEUB+ supports bidirectional operation by connecting the REF pin to VDD/2, resulting in VOUT = 250 × (RS+ − RS−) + VREF. When VSENSE = 0, VOUT equals VREF; positive VSENSE produces VOUT > VREF (charge), and negative VSENSE produces VOUT < VREF (discharge). For unidirectional use, connect REF to GND. The internal 1kΩ resistor between FB and REF ensures proper gain setting without external components.
What is the purpose of the RSB pin on the MAX9923FEUB+, and how should it be connected?
The RSB (Reference Sense Bias) pin on the MAX9923FEUB+ supplies bias current to the input transconductance stage and sets the common-mode operating point for RS+ and RS−. It must be connected directly to either RS+ or RS− - never to GND or VDD. This connection enables the full +1.9V to +28V input common-mode range independent of VDD and ensures correct internal node biasing for high-side sensing functionality.
Does the MAX9923FEUB+ require external components for gain configuration, and what is its gain tolerance?
No, the MAX9923FEUB+ uses internal laser-trimmed resistors to fix its gain at 250V/V - no external resistors are required. Its gain accuracy is ±0.8% maximum over the full -40°C to +85°C temperature range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This eliminates resistor matching errors and improves long-term stability compared to adjustable-gain variants like the MAX9922.
