Opamp topology without a stable voltage reference

I have an opamp configured as a constant current sink like this: As you can see, the reference voltage for the SENSE pin is set by the voltage divider on the left. This requires a stable voltage on ...

How to shift differential signal to read with single ended adc?

I'm using a current sense resistor (0.02 ohms) for a high current battery monitor for a hobby project. I'd like to shift this to a 0-5 V range to monitor using an ADC input (single ended.) I ...

Measuring input current of opamp

I want to measure the current that goes into a noninverting opamp input. I've setup my experiment as follows: I can't measure the voltage drop across the 10M (R1) resistor directly since my DMM has ...

How do I invert the output of this current sensor using the other side of the LM358?

Referencing a design that uses a more expensive OpAmp, I have put together (in simulation) this current sensing circuit that uses one half of an LM358. I would like to use the other half of the LM358 ...

Finding a current sense differential amplifier [closed]

I want to measure the voltage drop across a shunt resistor, amplify it to 50 times the original value, and feed that (0 - 5 V) to an ADC. I'd prefer to do the "high side" current sense method (rather ...
