LF356 Wide Range Current-To-Voltage Converter
Current to voltage converter circuit can be made using a single resistor, it is very simple since any current will naturally develop a voltage when flow through a resistor. Using an active component, a small developed voltage on a resistor can be accurately measured since we can amplify it to reach a convenient level to …[Read More]
Differential Current Sensing Inside H Bridge
A differential current sensing that is inserted inside a H bridge circuit. is shown in the schematic diagram below. This circuit is one example of AD8205 application. The AD8205 measures current in both directions as the motor changes direction and H-bridge switches. This circuit has high accuracy in current measurement because AD8205 is placed in …[Read More]
Sometimes, there are unexpected solenoid and excessive corrosion occurs on current sense circuit. Corrosive effects can be occurred because of the differential voltage between the ground and the load. To reduce that possibility, the shunt and the switch are placed on the high side. When switch is off, the battery is removed from the load, …[Read More]
High Side Current Sensing for Low Side Switching
An AD8205 can be used to make a high-side current sense with a low side switch. Besides AD8205, an inductive load (solenoid) and a resistive shunt are added in this circuit. The resistive shunt is placed on high-side and the switch is placed on low-side, so that all current measurements, including the the re-circulation current, …[Read More]
Current Monitor
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]
High-Side Current Sense Amplifier Coverts 4-20mA Signal to 0-5V
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 …[Read More]
Moving-Coil Meter with Separate Supply using INA193
The digital meters is lack of accuracy and resolution in comparison to drawing information upon a measurement’s rate of change or tracking a reading’s trend. To solve this problem, we should use analog moving-coil meters. Here is the schematic diagram of analog moving-coil meters : This circuit uses 8-inch moving coil meter with a measuring …[Read More]
