High-side power/current monitor — what it does and where it fits
The Maxim Integrated MAX4210EETT is a high-side power/current monitor IC that measures load current and power by sensing voltage across an external shunt resistor placed between the supply rail and the load. It outputs a voltage proportional to the sensed current and power, making it suitable for DC power-rail monitoring in industrial, telecom, and battery-powered equipment where ground-referenced sensing is not possible.
Lifecycle and compliance — what the BOM needs to know
The part is RoHS non-compliant per.
Sourcing posture — quoted to order
Because the MAX4210EETT is active but RoHS non-compliant, it is not a standard stock item at most franchised distributors. We source it to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels that carry legacy and non-RoHS inventory.
