This document introduces Linear Technology's current sensing circuits
This document is a collection of current sense circuits designed to help engineers solve various current sensing problems in electronics systems. It organizes solutions into chapters based on general application types such as high-side sensing, low-side sensing, fault detection, and motor control.
The guide provides specific circuit diagrams and component recommendations from the Linear Technology product line. It covers a wide range of scenarios including unidirectional and bidirectional current flow, high voltage applications, and precision requirements for different load conditions.
It compiles solutions to current sensing problems and organizes them by general application type.
No, it is unlikely that any particular circuit shown will exactly meet the requirements for a specific design.
