Description

This single–supply, high–side, low–cost current sensing solution detects load current between 50mA and 1A and converters it to an output voltage from 0.25V to 5V. High–side sensing allows for the system to identify ground shorts and does not create a ground disturbance on the load.

Features
  • Single 36V supply 
  • Input: 50mA to 1A 
  • Output: 0.25V to 5V
