What is the function of connecting the collector of one NPN to the base of another NPN in an overcurrent detection circuit?

I am currently doing a reverse engineering project of a board. I found this particular circuit for current limit detection for both +12V and GND by using a couple of INA193 (IC1 & IC3) and LM2903 (...

Sensing Resistor in Buck-Boost controllers

In the LT8390, there are two sensing resistors. The one connected to LSN/LSP is called RSENSE(Buck), and the one connected to ISP/ISN is called RSENSE(BOOST). To illustrate this more clearly, I've ...

Why is my current sensor multiplying voltage by 5000?

I'm testing the below current sense circuit that uses an INA210. When the current flowing is 0.25 A the voltage on pin "CUR" is 1 V (measured by controller and multi-meter). By my ...
