Texas Instruments

Published Date: 09/05/1999

Description

Current sensing in power supplies and motor controls demand the use of a very low value resistor. Each application varies in need for resistance value power rating size form factor inductance temperature coefficient and accuracy. To meet some of these applications the copper of a printed circuit board (PCB) can be utilized but has some distinct limitations. This design note provides design
