CIRCUIT FUNCTION AND BENEFITS
Circuit Evaluation Boards
The circuit shown in Figure 1 monitors current in individual
channels of −48 V to better than 1% accuracy. The load current
passes through a shunt resistor, which is external to the circuit.
The shunt resistor value is chosen so that the shunt voltage is
approximately 50 mV at maximum load current.
