This application note describes the use of current-sense amplifiers, differential amplifiers, and instrumentation amplifiers to measure battery charge and discharge currents in smartphones, tablets, ...

Current sensing is used to perform two essential circuit functions. First, it is used to measure “how much” current is flowing in a circuit, which may be used to make decisions about turning off ...

The proliferation of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) has created a new dynamic in automotive designs. HEVs and EVs no longer operate off a traditional 12-V lead-acid ...

Trinamic Motion Control's TMCM-0013-xA current-sense boards are lab tools designed to simplify the measurement and visualization of two-phase motor currents. The boards are well-suited for tuning a ...

A 2020 report by Deloitte forecasts total EV sales growing from 2.5 million in 2020 to 11.2 million in 2025, then reaching 31.1 million by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate of 29% over ...

A new range of automotive-qualified current sensors is addressing the growing need for accurate, isolated current measurement ...

A common data logging application is measuring voltage or current flowing into or out of a piece of equipment, such as a user monitoring current in solar cells, inverters, or storage batteries. These ...

Demand for low-current devices is increasing, as many new sensors are being created for medical, automotive, industrial, and other applications. Chief among the heightened production and test ...

Need to do some real fine power consumption measurements? [Gero Müller] was in that exact situation, and wasn’t happy with the expensive off-the-shelf tools for doing the job. Thus, he built his own.
