The introduction section will give the background on current sensing solutions for HEV/EV battery management systems. It will also highlight TI’s portfolio of current sense amplifier and key considerations when using them for battery management systems.

Understanding the key specifications of current sense amplifiers will aid in ensuring the proper device is selected for a given battery management system. This section will give a thorough explanation of using specific current sense amplifiers.

Current sense amplifiers have been implemented in applications used for current and power measurement. These simple and affordable solutions enable designers to achieve real-time overcurrent protection, system optimization and current measurement for closed-loop circuits with excellent linearity and accuracy. This curriculum will discuss how to monitor the status of an HEV/EV battery using current sense amplifiers.

Learn about solutions that pair the flexibility of digital power control with C2000 MCUs and in-line current sensing with the high-power efficiency of GaN. 

The Getting Started with Current Sense Amplifiers series helps engineers learn how to maximize the performance achieved when measuring current with a current sense amplifier (also called a current shunt monitor).

This is a series of short videos, each addressing a different topic.  While intended as a series to be viewed in order, each session is stand-alone and can be viewed without the need to watch it all if there is a specific topic you are interested in learning more about.

Section 3 of this training series introduces three advanced topics related to current measurement with current sense amplifiers.

Section 1 of this training series focuses on the basics of current measurement with current sense amplifiers

Section 2 of this training series focuses on the understanding the error sources associated with current measurement and the best methods for minimizing these errors.
