Current Sense Circuit, A Classic Design Using Positive Rail Sensing

circuit schematic

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, butĀ  monitoring up to 44V application can be done by this circuitĀ  (the maximum [...]

Self-Powered Current Sensing Circuit

circuit schematic

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 [...]

High-Side Current Sense Amplifier Coverts 4-20mA Signal to 0-5V

circuit schematic

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 [...]

Current Monitor

circuit schematic

On the circuit diagram, R1 is used to senses current flow of a power supply. We could use JFET as a buffer because Id=Is, therefore the power supply current flow is accurately reflected by the output monitor. Here’s the circuit diagram: [Source: National Semiconductor Application Note]

Precision Current Sink

circuit schematic

This a a simple circuit for precision current sink. This circuit uses two kinds of transistor, 2N2219 bipolar transistor and 2N3069 JFET because both of them have inherently high output impedance. Here is the circuit : To provide feedback to the LM101 op amp, this circuit uses R1 as a current sensing resistor. [...]
