The LT2940 measures a high side current and a differential voltage, multiplies them and outputs a current proportional to instantaneous power. Bidirectional high side currents and bipolar voltage differences are correctly handled by the four-quadrant multiplier and push-pull output stage, which allows the LT2940 to indicate ...
LT1910: Fault Protected High Side Switch
Jun 23rd 2009
LT1910 is a very popular high side driver that allows the use of low cost N-channel power MOSFETs for high side switching applications. It contains a 750kHz charge pump to fully enhance an N-channel MOSFET switch with no external components. The LT1910 has been specifically designed for harsh operating environments like those ...
Simple Ways To Measure Current - LTC6101, LTC6102, LTC6103, LTC6104
Mar 15th 2009
Measuring current is one of the basic requirements in many electronic systems; whether for precise control or simple protection of circuit elements. A family of new devices from Linear Technology has been produced to greatly simplify the measurement of DC or AC current. Using only external resistors, each small device can be ...
