MAX9611/MAX9612  
High-Side, Current-Sense Amplifiers with  
12-Bit ADC and Op Amp/Comparator  
General Description  
Features  
The MAX9611/MAX9612 are high-side current-sense  
amplifiers with an integrated 12-bit ADC and a gain block  
that can be configured either as an op amp or comparator,  
making these devices ideal for a number of industrial and  
automotive applications.  
0V to +60V Input Common-Mode Voltage Range  
2.7V to 5.5V Power-Supply Range, Compatible with  
1.8V and 3.3V Logic  
● 5μA Software Shutdown Current  
Integrated 12-Bit ADC  
The high-side, current-sense amplifiers operate over a  
wide 0V to 60V input common-mode voltage range. The  
programmable full-scale voltage (440mV, 110mV, and  
55mV) of these amplifiers offers wide dynamic range,  
accurate current measurement, and application flexibility  
in choosing sense resistor values. A choice of either an  
internal op amp or a comparator is provided to the user.  
The internal amplifier can be used to limit the inrush cur-  
rent or to create a current source in a closed-loop system.  
The comparator can be used to monitor fault events for  
fast response.

MAX9611/MAX9612  
High-Side, Current-Sense Amplifiers with  
12-Bit ADC and Op Amp/Comparator  
nates input stage crossover distortion, typical in most  
rail-to-rail input current-sense amplifiers. Low input bias  
currents and low input offset currents allow a wide selec-  
tion of input filters to be designed without degrading the  
accuracy of the current-sense amplifier.  
Detailed Description  
The MAX9611/MAX9612 are high-side, current-sense  
amplifiers with an integrated 12-bit ADC and an internal  
selectable op amp/comparator. These devices are ideal  
for a variety of industrial and automotive applications.  
The current-sense amplifier inputs feature both a  
-0.3V/+65V common-mode absolute maximum rating  
as well as a ±65V differential absolute maximum rating,  
allowing a wide variety of fault conditions to be withstood  
easily by the device without damage.  
The MAX9611/MAX9612’s high-side, current-sense  
amplifiers operate over a wide 0V to 60V input common-  
mode voltage range. The programmable full-scale voltage  
(440mV, 110mV, and 55mV) allows for a wide dynamic  
range current measurement and application flexibility in  
choosing sense resistor values.  
The current-sense amplifier has a gain of 2.5V/V and  
connects directly to the output op-amp/comparator inputs.  
The ADC path features a 1x, 4x, and 8x programmable  
gain providing for 440mV, 110mV, and 55mV full-scale  
sense voltage.  
2
The I C bus is 1.8V and 3.3V logic compatible and  
can interface with modern microcontrollers. An inter-  
nal 12-bit, 500sps integrating analog-to-digital converter  
(ADC) allows the user to read analog signals such as die  
temperature, V  
, V  
, V  
, and V  
.
OUT SET RSCM  
SENSE  
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)  
At power-up, the selectable op-amp/comparator block  
is configured in the op-amp mode. The op amp has an  
effective 60V Class A-type output stage and can be used  
to limit inrush currents and create a current source when  
used in a closed-loop system. When the internal compara-  
tor is selected, the MAX9611/MAX9612 can be configured  
to have a latched and retry functionality, allowing a 60V  
open-drain transistor output, ideal to operate high-side  
relay-disconnect FETs. The MAX9611 has a noninverting  
input-to-output configuration while the MAX9612 has an  
inverting input-to-output configuration.  
The MAX9611/MAX9612 feature an internal dual-slope  
integrating 12-bit ADC that has a 2ms conversion time  
and a 1.8V and 3.3V logic-compatible I C bus. An inter-  
nal mux allows the following on-chip variables to be read:  
input sense voltage, input common-mode voltage, SET  
voltage, OUT voltage, and die temperature.  
2
Temperature Measurement  
Die temperature can be read by the ADC over the entire  
operating range (-40°C to +125°C) with 0.5°C resolution.  
Die temperature can be used for application calibration  
and thermal monitoring and is available in a 9-bit, two’s  
complement format. Readings outside of normal operat-  
ing temperature range (-40°C to +125°C) are inaccurate  
and should be considered invalid. See Table 1 for binary  
and hex values.  
Current-Sense Amplifier  
The MAX9611/MAX9612 feature a precision current-  
sense amplifier with a 0V to 60V input common-mode  
voltage range. An internal negative charge pump elimi-

MAX9611/MAX9612  
High-Side, Current-Sense Amplifiers with  
12-Bit ADC and Op Amp/Comparator  
SET Voltage Measurement  
Watchdog/Latch/Retry Functionality  
The SET voltage serves as a reference voltage for the  
internal op amp or comparator around which a control  
loop can be designed. The low bias current for SET  
allows high-impedance resistor-dividers and current out-  
put DACs to be used, making it easy to interface without  
introducing additional errors.  
Internal digital circuitry is used to implement a watchdog  
feature that can be useful to handle normal application  
transients that are not true fault conditions. This feature  
applies both to the op amp and comparator modes of  
part operation. A watchdog delay time is internally set to  
1ms by default but can be changed to 100µs. The retry  
delay time is internally set to 50ms by default, but can be  
changed to 10ms (see Tables 6 and 7).  
The SET input can also serve as an auxiliary input port  
to the ADC if the op amp or comparator is not utilized in  
the application. Its full-scale input range extends from 0V  
to 1.10V.  
In normal operation mode, (Control Register 1 (0x0A)  
000x xxxx), the amplifier output responds to the difference  
between its inputs, i.e., the CSA output voltage and the  
SET voltage. In open-loop configuration, the op amp can  
be used as a comparator.  
OUT Voltage Measurement  
The internal amplifier/comparator output voltage can be  
monitored over the entire 0V to 57.3V range by the ADC.  
An internal high-value resistor-divider on OUT reduces  
leakage current effects.  
In a watchdog-latch-retry mode (Control Register 1 (0x0A)  
111x xxxx), the output of the comparator waits for a  
watchdog delay time (to ensure the CSA output continues  
to stay above the SET voltage for this duration) before  
responding, and then latches onto this state. After a retry  
delay time, it resets the comparator state and the cycle  
repeats.  
Common-Mode Voltage Measurement  
The input common-mode voltage is defined as the aver-  
age of the voltage at RS+ and RS-. A high-value resistor-  
divider allows measurement of the input common-mode  
voltage over the 0V to 57.3V range.  
Similar functionality is implemented for the op-amp mode  
as well (Control Register 1 (0x0A) 000x xxxx to 011x  
xxxx).  
Sense Voltage Measurement  
Three programmable gains allow for a wide range of cur-  
rents to be read by the ADC. The current-sense amplifier  
gain can be set to 1x, 4x, or 8x. The full-scale sense volt-  
ages are then 440mV, 110mV, and 55mV, respectively.  
A RESET bit is defined in Control Register 1 (0x0A) to  
reset a latched state when commanded by the user.  
2
I C Interface  
Output Amplifier/Comparator  
2
The MAX9611/MAX9612 I C interface consists of a  
serial-data line (SDA) and serial-clock line (SCL). SDA  
and SCL facilitate bidirectional communication between  
the MAX9611/MAX9612 and the master at rates up to  
400kHz. The MAX9611/MAX9612 are slave devices that  
transfer and receive data. The master (typically a micro-  
controller) initiates data transfer on the bus and generates  
the SCL signal to permit that transfer.  
The MAX9611/MAX9612 feature an internally selectable  
op amp and comparator where one of the inputs is con-  
nected to the 2.5x current-sense amplifier, and the other  
input is connected to the SET input. The op amp or the  
comparator output can be selected and connected to  
OUT. The output stage is an open-drain 60V nFET, that  
requires a suitable pullup resistor for proper operation.  
The op amp then behaves like a Class-A output stage.  
Select op amp or comparator function in Control Register  
1 (0x0A) bit 7 (see Tables 4 and 5).

Slave Address  
I C Read Operation  
2
In an I C read operation (Figure 2), the bus master issues  
A bus master initiates communication with a slave device  
by issuing a START (S) condition followed by a slave  
address. When idle, the MAX9611/MAX9612 continu-  
ously wait for a START condition followed by their slave  
address. When the MAX9611/MAX9612 recognize a  
slave address, it is ready to accept or send data. The  
MAX9611/MAX9612 offer 16 different slave addresses  
using two address inputs, A1 and A0. See Table 2 for  
different slave address options. The least significant bit  
(LSB) of the address byte (R/W) determines whether  
the master is writing to or reading from the MAX9611/  
MAX9612 (R/W = 0 selects a write condition, R/W = 1  
selects a read condition). After receiving the address, the  
MAX9611/MAX9612 (slave) issue an acknowledge by  
pulling SDA low for one clock cycle.  
a write command first by initiating a START condition fol-  
lowed by seven address bits, a write bit (R/W = 0) and the  
8-bit register address. The master then issues a Repeated  
START (Sr) condition, followed by seven address bits,  
a read bit (R/W = 1). If the address byte is success-  
fully received, the MAX9611/MAX9612 (slave) issue an  
acknowledge (A). The master then reads from the slave.  
For continuous read, the master issues an acknowledge  
bit (AM) after each received byte. The master terminates  
the read operation by sending a not acknowledge (NA)  
bit. The MAX9611/MAX9612 then release the data line  
SDA allowing the master to generate a STOP condition.

Choose a suitable sense resistor and a low R  
pFET  
Power-On Reset  
DS-ON  
to ensure the best efficiency during normal operation.  
Choose a pFET with large power dissipation to ensure com-  
pliance with safe operating area of the pFET. The MAX9611  
comes equipped with a variety of watchdog options to help  
with this design (see Control Register 2, Table 7).  
The MAX9611/MAX9612 include power-on reset circuitry  
that ensures all registers reset to a known state on power-  
up. Once V  
goes above 2.4V, the POR circuit releases  
CC  
the registers for normal operation.  
Applications Information  
Choose resistor values R1 and R2 to ensure that the  
pFET is fully on in normal operating conditions and to  
ensure that the VGS maximum rating is not exceeded.  
Also, R1 and R2 help limit the current in the open-drain  
Inrush Current Limiter  
The MAX9611 can be used as an inrush current limiter  
for a number of applications as shown in Figure 3. Note  
that the sense resistor can be placed on either side of  
the pFET. Since the input common-mode voltage of the  
MAX9611 extends to ground, the sense resistor can be  
placed at the load side as well, allowing current to be  
sensed even when there is a dead-short on the load.

COMP  
good choice. R  
and C  
set a zero, for which  
COMP  
COMP  
100kHz is a good choice.  
With the internal gain of the current-sense amplifier  
(2.5V/V), the inrush current-limit threshold can be set  
using resistor-divider R3 and R4 as follows:  
The inrush current limiting circuit reads and measures  
the load current during normal operation and can limit  
the load current to a user-set value. In normal operation,  
the load current is below the set threshold. The pFET is  
fully turned on because the op-amp output is at 0V. In the  
event of an overcurrent situation at the load, the op-amp  
controls the pFET’s gate-voltage so it transitions to a  
linear region, thus limiting the load current. In this case,

Base-Station PA Gain Control  
While the MAX9611 is designed to control high-side  
pFETs, the MAX9612 can be similarly used to control  
low-side nFETs. For example, the MAX9612 can be used  
to control the DC bias point of power amplifier LDMOS  
or GaN nFETs in base-station applications. The circuit  
shown in Figure 4 also allows the option to apply negative  
bias voltages to the PA FET, which is required for certain  
types of transistors for proper operation.

SENSE  
In the circuit shown, the nFET is in a linear mode of opera-  
tion to allow it to amplify high-frequency RF signals, while  
the MAX9612 sets the DC operating point. The gain of  
the FET can be varied by changing its drain current. This  
operating point can be varied by an external DAC voltage  
that feeds the SET pin.  
The inductor isolates the DC measuring point of current  
from the high-frequency AC signals through the PA FET,  
as well as helping with the high-frequency gain.  
Power-Supply Bypassing and Grounding

both the analog and digital on-chip circuitry. It is therefore
