Using a shunt is simple. Just select a shunt resistor of a known resistance, measure the voltage drop across the shunt, and use Ohm’s law to calculate the current. Designers often use a current shunt ...
The Sendyne SFP100 IC enables use of ultra-low resistance shunts for sensing currents from kiloamperes down to milliamperes in automotive temperature conditions and other applications. Sendyne Corp.
Designers often use a current shunt to measure low current being sourced out of their power supply since many of today’s power supplies do not offer adequate accuracy from their built-in measurement ...
