Description
Current sensing is very useful for protecting
applications. The STEVAL-ISQ013V1
demonstration board implements a low-side
current sensing which consists in placing a sense
resistor between the load and the circuit ground
and the resulting voltage drop is amplified using a
TS507 op amp.
The common mode voltage is close to ground,
whatever the voltage of the power source, so the
current sense voltage can be amplified by this low
voltage op amp without any restrictions.
The circuit offers very stable electrical
characteristics over the entire supply voltage
range and is particularly intended for automotive
and industrial applications.
