9.2 Low-Side Current Sensing

Power converters use current-mode feedback control for superior transient response and multi-phase load sharing. Inverter stages control the phase currents for torque control in motor drives. Due to its simplicity and low-cost, many of these topologies use difference amplifier based low-side current sensing. Figure 9-1 shows the use of OPAx863 in a difference amplifier circuit for low-side current sensing.
