Editor’s note: I really like it when an neat alternative solution is provided for a challenging analog problem. Chris Lokere do that for us in this following tech blog. Now that Linear Technology is a ...

The op amp-based current sensing circuit described here is not new, it has been around for some time, but with very little discussion of the circuit itself. Somewhere along the line it was informally ...

Many current-sensing ICs are available for applications that require single-quadrant operation, where positive common-mode voltages are present and current flows in only one direction. There are also ...

Accurately measuring current flow is a standard requirement in several applications (Fig. 1). Depending on the specific need, the options available to designers can include discrete designs assembled ...

Maybe you are familiar with the op-amp as an extremely versatile component, and you know how to quickly construct a huge variety of circuits with one. Maybe you even have a favorite op-amp or two for ...
