Summary

Current sense amplifiers are typically powered by a single power supply. Swing to ground limitation can mask the output at zero Vsense. Bidirectional CSA provides a convenient way to include zero Vsense in the linear input range. Percentage output error typically increases with decreasing Vsense and becomes infinite at zero Vsense. One way to improve accuracy of a current measurement system is through calibration. Recent development at TI introduced a series of high-voltage ultra-precise CSA that solve the issue of output limitation found on certain legacy products.
