9.2.2.1 Design Requirements

Challenges exist in solenoid drive current sensing that are similar to those in motor inline current sensing. In certain topologies, the current-sensing amplifier is exposed to the full-scale PWM voltage between ground and supply. The INA240 is well suited for this type of application.
