Using Current Sense Resistors for Accurate Current Measurement

June 3, 2022
There is a global trend to increase efficiencies in all types of equipment. Learn how current sense resistors provide accurate current measurement in useful application examples to meet this need.

Global trends such as the demand for lower CO2 emissions, the smartening of the electricity supply grid and the electrification of our automobiles are all driving the need for electronic circuits to become more efficient. For circuit designers and systems operators, understanding what level of current is flowing through a circuit and being delivered to a load can be very helpful. 

This application note will present why current sense resistors are optimal, low-cost solutions that help OEMs create more efficient circuit designs in a wide range of applications.
