CIRCUIT060001

Single-supply, low-side, unidirectional current-sensing circuit

CIRCUIT060001

Overview

This single–supply, low–side, current sensing solution accurately detects load current up to 1A and converts it to a voltage between 50mV and 4.9V. The input current range and output voltage range can be scaled as necessary and larger supplies can be used to accommodate larger swings.
