High voltage current sensing/monitoring can be designed using LTC6101 op-amp. The following current sensing circuit is capable of measuring electrical current in 500 volts system. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: Two external Mosfets is added to hold off the voltage, allows the LTC6101 to be connected to a very high [...]

This is a simple circuit that can be used to convert a 4-20mA signal to a 0V to 5V analog voltage. It is ideal conversion to digital with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). In this circuit, a current-sense amplifier (IC1) is used to monitor the loop current. To generate a ground-referenced output that ranges from 0V [...]

This current sensing circuit sense the current at the high side (between positive supply and load). This circuit take the benefit of the microampere supply current and Rail-to-Rail input of the LT1494 op-amp. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: Look at the op-amp, the inverting input is connected directly to the [...]

A LT1637 is advertised as 1.1MHz, 0.4V/us Over-The-Top Micropower, Rail-To-Rail Input and Output Op Amp. This features are suitable for current sensing application since input voltages are right at the upper rail. The circuit show current sensing of 5V supply system, but monitoring up to 44V application can be done by this circuit (the maximum [...]

In the simplest form, current to voltage converter can be implemented as simple as one resistor, since a voltage is developed when an electrical current flow against a resistance. The problem is that the resistance always affect the current by decreasing the current flow, and the current to voltage conversion is not accurate. In some [...]

This voltage-controlled oscillator circuit is very compact and has a good linearity. The author said that the precision could be better than 0.01% If this circuit is properly constructed. Moreover, this circuit gives three different output waveforms: square, triangle, and sawtooth. This three waveform is important for music synthesizer and measurement [...]
