Sensing current on the high side

Sensing current on the high side

As EDN’s Design Ideas editor, I see a range of design submissions, from good, to not so good. A recent DI I turned down for several reasons included a high-side current sense circuit with implementation problems. This got me thinking about the different ways to accomplish current sensing on a voltage rail. At their heart,

Driver eases high-speed ADC inputs

Description The MAX9626/MAX9627/MAX9628 are low-noise, low-distortion, and high-bandwidth differential amplifier/ADC drivers for use in applications from DC to 1.35GHz. The exceptional low input-referred noise and low distortion make these parts an excellent solution to drive high-speed 12-bit to 16-bit pipeline ADCs. The output common mode is set through the VOCM input pin, thus eliminating the
