The project presented here is an SPI programable Gain Amplifier using MAX9939. The MAX9939 is a general-purpose, differential-input programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) that is ideal for conditioning a variety of wide dynamic range signals such as those found in motor current-sense, medical instrumentation, and sonar data acquisition applications. It features SPI-programmable differential gains from 0.2V/V to 157V/V, input offset-voltage compensation, and an output amplifier that can be configured either as a high-order active filter or to provide a differential output.

The PGA is optimized for high-signal bandwidth and its gain can be programmed to be 0.2V/V, 1V/V, 10V/V, 20V/V, 30V/V, 40V/V, 60V/V, 80V/V, 119V/V, and 157V/V. Precision resistor matching provides extremely low gain tempco and high CMRR. Although the MAX9939 operates from a single supply VCC between 2.9V to 5.5V, it can process signals both above and below ground due to the use of an input level-shifting amplifier stage. Furthermore, its inputs are protected to ±16V, allowing it to withstand fault conditions and signal overranges. The output amplifier is designed for high bandwidth and low-bias currents, making it ideal for use in multiple-feedback active filter topologies that offer much higher Qs and stopband attenuation than Sallen-Key architectures. The MAX9939 draws 3.4mA of quiescent supply current at 5V, and includes a software-programmable shutdown mode that reduces its supply current to only 13µA.

Note: This is a general-purpose SPI programable gain amplifier, all components are user-defined, capacitors and resistors value as per application. Refer to the datasheet of the chip for more information.
