Diodes Incorporated's current monitors are high-performance, high-side referred current measurement ICs. They greatly simplify the measurement of load currents without disturbing the ground plane/reference point.
The current monitor families contain variants with quiescent currents as low as 3µA, and others with operating voltages up to 60V, proving solutions for Li-Ion current measurement to over-current detection in industrial and automotive applications.
Diodes has two families of current monitors:
which have programmable gain via a single resistor from its output to ground.
which have fixed gain. These have tighter offsets than the current output devices and offer overall smaller footprint solutions than the current output devices.
