Automatic ranging current sensing
I am trying to implement a current shunt sensing circuit. This should be automatic and currently i want it to measure uA to around 200mA, and Change to the mA range at around 200uA. This is to profile ...

Measuring average current consumption in hardware
I'm working on a very low power budget, battery powered project. This project is allowed to draw 15uA (average) at 3v. The microcontroller we're using draws 4-10mA when active, and 2-3uA when asleep....

Current sensing nA to mA
I need to sense the current of a target MCU through various periods of its on/sleep/off state and then need to send this data back to another interface MCU to read out the value. They will be both on ...

Design of low current sensor from 50mA to 2A in a dc-dc buck converter
I would like to sense the current from a path where a current of 50mA to 2 A is flowing to the load. Can I use simple differential amp with gain across the Rsense =20mohm or is there any contemporary ...

Transimpedance vs. Non-Inverting Amp for high sensitivity application
In simple analysis, these two circuits give the same result ... i.e. producing 1V output for a 10pA input. Is there any advantage of one over the other in practice?
I am measuring currents in the ...

Op amp with transistor in feedback
I am currently looking for a high side current sense IC. I have noticed that most of them that are without galvanic separation, are using an op amp with bjt transistor like in bellow schematics:
The ...

The benefit to make or use a surface mount 4-terminal current sensing resistor
I find some precision SMD resistors are 4-terminal, like vishay's CSM3637P. It's constructed as below:
It seems it only make a slot on each pad, then get two extra pad to do the voltage measurement.
