What this current-sense amplifier is and where it fits
The Analog Devices MAX40056FAUA+ is a single-channel current-sense amplifier in an 8-uMAX/uSOP surface-mount package. It operates from a single supply between 2.7 V and 5.5 V.
Temperature range and environment
Rated for -40°C to 125°C operating temperature, so this part belongs in industrial motor drives, outdoor telecom rectifiers, and under-hood automotive modules – not just benign indoor gear. The 20 µA input bias current and 5 µV input offset voltage are typical for a precision current-sense amplifier; the offset contributes negligible error across the temperature span.
Output drive and supply current
The rail-to-rail output can source or sink 20 mA per channel – enough to drive an ADC input directly or feed a low-impedance control loop. Supply draw is 6 mA, which matters if you are powering the amp from a tight bias rail on a multi-channel board.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture
The MAX40056FAUA+ carries an active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant.
