MAX44284 Current Sense Amplifier

Current-sense amplifiers are sophisticated ICs, that monitor load currents in real time. System controllers use this load information to implement power-management algorithms that modify the load-current characteristic itself, and to implement flexible overcurrent protection schemes. This presentation will assist the designer in understand Current Sense Amplifier technology, the differences between high side and low side sensing, and the benefits of using the MAX44284 product in a range of current sensing applications.
