LM3824 Precision Current Gauge-IC

The LM3824 Current Gauge provides easy to use precision current measurement with virtually zero insertion loss (typically 0.003Ω). The LM3824 is used for high-side sensing. A Delta Sigma analog to digital converter is incorporated to precisely measure the current and to provide a current averaging f.
