Working Principles

The MAX4372HEUK+TG05 is a current sense amplifier that accurately measures current flowing through a load. It utilizes a differential amplifier configuration to amplify the voltage drop across a shunt resistor connected in series with the load. The amplified voltage is then converted into a proportional current measurement.

The device operates by comparing the voltage at the non-inverting input (IN+) with the voltage at the inverting input (IN-). The difference between these voltages is amplified and provided at the output pin (OUT). The reference voltage (REF) sets the zero-current level, allowing precise measurements of positive and negative currents.
