Figure 2. Bidirectional Current Monitor
The MAX4072 contains REFIN pin for external refer-
ence voltage. The allowable voltage range on REFIN is
1V (min) to 4V (max) with V
The REFOUT of the MAX4069/MAX4070/MAX4071 can
sink 100µA and source 500µA. Keep the total capaci-
tance on REFOUT under 500pF to maintain stability.
Ideally, the maximum load current develops the full-
scale sense voltage across the current-sense resistor.
Choose the gain needed to yield the maximum output
voltage required for the application:

In applications monitoring high current, ensure that

tor’s power dissipation is exceeded, its value may drift
or it may fail altogether, causing a differential voltage
across the terminals in excess of the absolute maxi-
mum ratings. Use resistors specified for current- sens-
ing applications.

The MAX4069–MAX4072 sense a wide variety of cur-
rents with different sense-resistor values. Table 1 lists
common resistor values for typical operation of these
devices. Listed output voltage is with respect to REF.

Voltage Loss: A high R

larger. For best performance, select R
