Accurate high-side current sensing is essential for automotive-control systems, such as those for EPS (electric power steering), automatic gear shifting, transmission control, engine fuel-injection ...

Measuring dynamic current flow has always been an important parameter for managing system performance, and doing so has become even more so with the proliferation of smarter management functions for ...

Sensing of current going to a load is a critical and often mandatory requirement in many designs. While there are many contact and non-contact ways to accomplish this sensing, such as using ...

Although there are several ways to sense current flowing from a source such as a battery, or to a load such as a motor, the current-sense resistor is among the most widely used approaches. There are ...

Though sometimes dubbed a load-dump sensor, it does not detect dumped loads. The term load dump refers to special circuitry protecting the sensor from high-voltage spikes in the vehicle wiring. The ...
