Sensing of current going to a load is a critical and often mandatory requirement in many designs. While there are many contact and non-contact ways to accomplish this sensing, such as using ...

Discrete implementations of current sense amplifiers are commonly used for low side current sensing applications. Low-side current sensing is when the voltage is measured across a sense resistor that ...

A voltage-to-frequency converter (VFC) can easily measure current flow and convert it to a digital signal understood by the timer/counter input of a microcomputer (µC) or microprocessor. It's a ...

Why low-side current sensing is still widely used. Why a precision preamplifier is critical to low-side current-sensing performance. Sensing current flow through a load or from a source is a common, ...

CMOS current mirrors are pivotal in modern electronic circuitry, providing accurate current replication that is essential for biasing, amplification and active loading in a myriad of integrated ...

The AP61406Q has high-side and low-side current sense protection during output short circuits, increasing its reliability in automotive POL applications. Other protection features include UVLO, VIN ...

Linear constantcurrent drivers, for instance, offer low EMI, low cost, and use only a few components. Many designers favor them for low-current applications where power loss is a minor concern. If ...

Our 1ED44173/5/6 are the new low side gate driver ICs that integrate over-current protection (OCP), FAULT status output and enable function. This high integration level is excellent for the digitally ...
