High Side Current Sensing with the MCP6V51 Zero-drift Opamp
Showing a High Side Current Sensing Design Implementation for System Voltages up to 45 Volts. (Oct 2021)
Many power applications require real-time monitoring of the load current (to maintain safe operation). For this, a high-side current sensing design implementation is shown here based on a simple op-amp circuit that allows operation on system voltages as high as 45 V.
