Monitoring the current taken by a mains-powered appliance can be a challenge, particularly if the application demands an inexpensive solution that must provide galvanic isolation for user safety.
The standard unit of electric current, the ampere, is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units. But measuring a current exactly in amperes is not an easy task. In fact, in 1990 ...
Thousands of applications require a circuit to measure a small current. One of the most common is the measurement of photodiode current to infer the light impinging on the diode. Scientific ...
