10.1 Application Information

The low-drift, bidirectional, single-supply, low-side, current-sensing solution, described in this section, can accurately detect load currents from –2.5 A to 2.5 A. The linear range of the output is from 250 mV to 2.75 V. Positive current is represented by output voltages from 1.5 V to 2.75 V, whereas negative current is represented by output voltages from 250 mV to 1.5 V. The difference amplifier is the INA240-Q1 current-shunt monitor, whose supply and reference voltages are supplied by the low-drift REF2030-Q1.
