Understanding Current Sense Amplifiers: From Fundamentals to Use Case
Explore the concepts of shunt-based current sensing and learn how to tackle current measurement challenges in real-world applications using ST's current sense amplifiers.
As electronic systems become more sophisticated, accurate current measurement is critical for ensuring efficiency, safety, and reliability. This webinar will introduce the fundamentals of shunt-based current sensing, a widely used method for monitoring and controlling current in power systems to help prevent overheating, short circuits, and system failures.
We'll break down the principles behind current sense amplifiers, explore different current sensing topologies, and dive into error analysis techniques to help you identify and reduce common sources of measurement inaccuracy. The session will wrap up with a look at practical use cases that show how ST’s current sense amplifiers can be applied across a range of applications.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- The basics of shunt-based current sensing
- Common current sensing architectures
- How to analyze and reduce current sensing errors
- Real-world applications using ST current sense amplifiers
There will be a live Q&A session at the end of the webinar where ST’s experienced engineer/s will be available to answer your questions.
