Battery management encompasses two main functions: 1. Charging adapter, and 2. Battery fuel gauging and protection on the battery side. The block diagram in Figure 1 depicts the overall system. In ...

The smart grid is the next evolution of the electricity grid with the convergence of electric power, telecommunications infrastructure and information technology. The ultimate goal is to allow ...

What is low-side current sensing? The most common method of measuring current is low-side sensing. A sense element or shunt resistor is placed in series with the load between the load and ground ...

Why low-side current sensing is still widely used. Why a precision preamplifier is critical to low-side current-sensing performance. Sensing current flow through a load or from a source is a common, ...
