MAX9918ASA+T

Analog Devices Inc Maxim Integrated · Current Sense Amplifiers · SOIC-8-EP

MAX9918ASA+T from Analog Devices Inc Maxim Integrated, in a SOIC-8-EP. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 RS+ input Positive current-sensing input. Power side of the external sense resistor. Common-mode range -20V to +75V (VCC=5V). Typical common-mode input resistance 300kΩ; input bias current ±175µA (typ) at TA=+25°C.
2 RS- input Negative current-sensing input. Load side of the external sense resistor. Full-scale differential sense voltage (VRS+ - VRS-) = 50mV; ±15V differential absolute maximum. Differential input resistance ~715Ω.
3 SHDN input Active-high shutdown input. Drive high (VIH ≥ 2.0V) to enter low-power shutdown (ICC_SHDN = 0.5µA typ). Connect to GND (VIL ≤ 0.8V) for normal operation. Absolute maximum -0.3V to +20V.
4 GND power_in Ground return for the device. Tie to system ground; use a single-point star ground for best current-measurement accuracy.
5 OUT output Current-sense amplifier output. VOUT is proportional to VSENSE (VOUT = VSENSE × G). Rail-to-rail; short-circuit current ~44mA to VCC, ~41mA to GND. Output resistance ~0.1Ω. Keep OUT ≥100mV from either rail for rated accuracy.
6 FB input Feedback input for the internal instrumentation amplifier. Connect to the R1/R2 resistive-divider network between OUT and REFIN to set the gain: G = 1 + (R2/R1). Minimum adjustable gain 30V/V.
7 REFIN input Reference input for the output stage. Drive with a low-source-impedance reference: set REFIN = GND for unidirectional operation, or REFIN = VCC/2 for bidirectional operation. Allowed range 0V to VCC - 1.9V. REFIN current ±100µA (max).
8 VCC power_in 5V supply input (operating range 4.5V to 5.5V). Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. Typical supply current 0.7-1.0mA; 0.5µA typ in shutdown.
EP EP power_in Exposed thermal pad. Connect to a large-area contiguous ground plane for improved power dissipation and electrical performance. Do not use as the sole ground connection for the part.
