The circuit below shows a resistor (R1 ) that converts the sensor current (ISEN ) to a voltage, as well as a difference amplifier that amplifies the voltage across the resistor while rejecting common mode noise.
Advantages:
Good rejection of common mode noise Resistive isolation from the source Wide input voltage range Disadvantages:
Resistive loading of the source Input stage distortion Sensor Examples:
High-side current sensor Alternating Current (AC) line current Learn More
