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 ...
Current often is derived from the voltage drop measured across a shunt of known value. However, as the paper states, “It is common practice for current shunts to be calibrated at a single current ...
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.
