UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, this document contains PRODUCTION DATA.
Figure 45 shows the OPAx187 configured in a low-side current-sensing application. The load current (ILOAD) creates a voltage drop across the shunt resistor (RSHUNT). This voltage is amplified by the OPAx187, with a gain of 201. The load current is set from 0 A to 500 mA, which corresponds to an output voltage range from 0 V to 10 V. The output range can be adjusted by changing the shunt resistor or gain of the configuration. Click the following link to download the TINA-TI file: Current-Sensing Circuit.
