CIRCUIT060029

Single-supply, low-side, unidirectional current-sensing solution with output swing to GND circuit

CIRCUIT060029

Overview

This single-supply, low-side, current-sensing solution accurately detects load current between 0 A to 1 A and converts it to a voltage between 0 V to 4.9 V. The input current range and output voltage range can be scaled as necessary and larger supplies can be used to accommodate larger swings. A negative charge pump (such as the LM7705) is used as the negative supply in this design to maintain linearity for output signals near 0 V.

Features
  • Input: 0 A to 1 A
  • Output: 0 V to 4.9 V
  • Supply
    • Vcc = 5 V
    • Vee = 0 V
    • Vref = 0 V
