Efficiency in power-related systems is typically defined in terms of the useful power output divided by the total power consumed, as in "the efficiency of such-and-such switching power supply is 97%." ...

The INA250 from Texas Instruments is a voltage-output current-sensing amplifier integrated with a 0.002 Ω resistor — all within a 5.00 × 4.40 mm TSSOP16 package. It’s not the first time a device like ...

The INA250 is the industry’s first device to integrate the shunt resistor with a bi-directional, zero-drift current-sense amplifier. It supports both low-side and ...

One of our products uses a standard 1/10-W surface-mount resistor with a high-side current monitor to detect small load changes at the product’s output. Since this circuit is part of the device’s ...
