1.8 MHz bandwidth for fast load-step detection
The MAX4073TAXK+TG65 is a single-channel current sense amplifier from Analog Devices, designed to measure current through an external shunt resistor and output a voltage proportional to it. Its 1.8 MHz bandwidth is enough to capture fast load transients in switching power supplies, motor-drive phases, and overcurrent fault events without excessive delay. The 500 µA supply current keeps the monitoring overhead low in always-on or battery-backed rails.
Package and footprint
Housed in a 5-lead SC-70-5 package — also listed as 5-TSSOP/SC-70-5/SOT-353 — this is a small, surface-mount footprint suited for space-constrained PCB layouts. The Bulk shipping medium means it arrives in antistatic bags or tubes, not tape-and-reel; factor that into your pick-and-place feeder setup if you are running high volume.
