Current Sensing

Current Sensing

Current Sensing is required in many applications to determine the amount of current flowing through a circuit. Current sensors are available in the market to sense the current. Current sensors can be:​

  • Resistor based current sensing​
  • Hall Effect based current sensing​

One more classification of the current sensing is:​

  • Isolated​
  • Non-isolated 
Resistor based current sensing can be:

  • High side current sensing​
  • Low side current sensing
Below is the topology of low side current sensing:

Below is the topology of high side current sensing:

Below are the differences between resistor based current sensing and hall sensor based current sensing:
