Removing the effects of Parasitic Inductance in current sense resistor – Low side current sensing
We are evaluating MIC21LV32 from microchip in one of our applications.
For the current sensing we have used 3 mΩ sense resistor (1206, 1 %, 1 W), as these sense resistors have higher ESL+ parasitic ...

How can we say this current sensor doesn't measure DC?
Digikey is saying this current sensor "CS0305B" from CUI Devices can measure AC and not DC.
But in datasheet there is no reference or note mentioning this current sensor will not measure DC.
...

Current sensing resistor placement [closed]
I will be adding a current sensing resistor to a Buck-boost DC-DC converter. Based on the IC datasheet, the resistor is placed at the low-voltage side next to the power inductor.
But, as far as I know,...

What does sensitivity mean for a current sensor when given in "mV/N" or "mV/mT" rather than "mV/A"?
I have been analyzing various datasheets of current sensors and majorly getting sensitivity given in "mV/A," from which I understand the output voltage per 1 ampere. I do not understand it ...
