Hi,

The customer wants to configure the current sensing circuit using OP AMP.

1) How do I do R1, R2, R3, R4, and Rshunt to be able to sense normal state = 20mA?

Connect Vo directly to the MCU.

2) Where should I connect V+ and V- as well?

First, determine the largest Vshunt that you can afford (this minimizes the amplifier's error). Rshunt = Vshunt_max / Imax.

Then determine the largest output voltage (should not be too small, to minimize the ADC error). This allows you to compute the gain resistors.

V+ and V− determine the valid voltage range of the amplifier, so they usually are the same as the bus voltage.

It is usually a better idea to use an integrated current-sense amplifier.

Hello Cho,

Please see the following application example for how to implement high side current sensing. Please let me know if there are any questions on the following circuit.
