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 ...

It’s not easy being a current-sense resistor: so much is expected of this basic function of determining current flow by simple measurement of voltage across a known resistance, then applying Ohm’s Law ...

Texas Instruments has created a series of precision current monitors with digital outputs, for use across power rails from -100mV to +85V, at up to ±78.64A. In each case, an internal ΣΔ ADC measures ...

Guest columnist Christopher Gobok, product marketing engineer at Linear Technology believes that accurate power supply voltage and current monitoring is crucial to conserving power and guaranteeing ...

High-resistance grounding (HRG) makes a power distribution system safer and more reliable than the alternatives. High-rresistance grounding can limit point-of-fault damage, eliminate transient ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

Measuring resistance doesn’t seem to be a big deal. Put your meter leads across two wires or terminals and read the value, right? Most of the time that is good enough, but sometimes you need better ...
