This integrated circuit is a transimpedance amplifier suitable for the current sensing through the shunt resistor on the high side, between the power supply and the connected load. This allows the short circuit on the load to be sensed and will not disturb the GND reference of the connected load since the shunt resistor between the load negative connection terminal and the GND is avoided. These advantages are especially useful for battery charging applications and battery gauges since the short circuit detection is very important in such applications. Also, the negative terminal of the battery has to stay on the same potential as the GND for the temperature output to be accurate, which is impossible with the low-side shunt resistor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"MikroElektronika Current 2 click inner\" data-entity-type=\"\" data-entity-uuid=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mikroe.com\/img\/images\/current-2-click-inner-img.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe similar schematic could be designed using only operational amplifiers, however due to a high inaccuracy of such design (as the offset voltage of a typical operational amplifier can greatly affect the output current, especially after the amplification is applied), and the low common mode voltage that typical operational amplifier can withstand, specialized current sensing amplifier ICs (CSA) such as the FAN4010, are used instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FAN4010 features an extremely low current offset of only 2 µA, which allows very accurate measurement within the 0.2% margin. The transconductance ratio at the output of the FAN4010 is 10 mA\/V, where V represents the voltage across the shunt resistor. The current at the output linearly depends on the current through the load. By using the appropriate resistor between the output and the GND, this current can be scaled to an appropriate voltage level that can be used as the input for the A\/D converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MCP3001, a 10-bit A\/D converter (ADC) with SPI interface, from Microchip.

It is also equipped with the reference input pin, allowing it to use an accurate voltage reference, which ensures very high sampling accuracy. Combined with the MCP1501-20 IC, a high-precision, buffered voltage reference of 2.048V, it is used with enough headroom to sample load current up to 4 A (4 A = 2 V at the ADC input).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe calculation formulas can derived from the datasheet of the FAN4010. However, it is not necessary to perform any calculations if using mikroSDK compatible functions, provided for this Click board™.
