Conditioning a Switch-mode Power Supply Current Signal Using TI Op Amps

 1,664 views

The switch-mode power supply primary current is often sensed using a power resistor. Using an op amp to amplify the current-sense signal can reduce cost and improve noise performance and efficiency. This report reviews the advantages of using an op amp circuit and analyzes the design criteria needed to choose the proper op amp.
