Redefining a New State-of-the-Art in Microampere Current-Sense Amplifiers

Sensing and controlling supply current flow are a fundamental requirement in most all electronic systems from battery-operated, portable equipment to mobile or fixed-platform power management and dc motor control. High-side current-sense amplifiers (or "CSAs") are useful in these applications especially where power consumption is an important design parameter. New CSA developments offer even greater benefits in allowing engineers to save power without sacrificing performance.
