This split-supply, high-side current sensing solution accurately detects load currents from 10 μA to 100 mA. The linear range of the differential voltage output is from -4.9V to +4.9 V. An instrumentation amplifier with pin-programmable gain was selected in order to measure the four-decade load current range.
TI Precision Designs are analog solutions created by TI’s analog experts. Verified Designs offer the theory, component selection, simulation, complete PCB schematic & layout, bill of materials, and measured performance of useful circuits. Circuit modifications that help to meet alternate design goals are also discussed.
