Current. Too little of it, and you can’t get where you’re going, too much and your hardware’s on fire. In many projects, it’s desirable to know just how much current is being drawn, and even more ...

Current often is derived from the voltage drop measured across a shunt of known value. However, as the paper states, “It is common practice for current shunts to be calibrated at a single current ...

What is low-side current sensing? The most common method of measuring current is low-side sensing. A sense element or shunt resistor is placed in series with the load between the load and ground ...

Current. Too little of it, and you can’t get where you’re going, too much and your hardware’s on fire. In many projects, it’s desirable to know just how much current is being drawn, and even more ...

What is low-side current sensing? In Signal Chain Basics #93: How to Maximize Low-Side Sensing Performance, I discussed various options for low-side current sensing. A quick reminder, low-side current ...

Diodes has introduced a new series of high-precision current shunt monitors designed to measure small sense voltages across a wide common-mode voltage range in electric vehicles (EVs) - the ZXCT21xQ ...

A single-supply, 2.7- ~ 5.5-V, SOT25/SOT26 device from Diodes Inc. features an input common-mode range of up to 26 V. Devices are available to sense unidirectional and bidirectional current. The ...
