We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Current monitor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release LED drivers cover all the latest options from
Zetex, which we summarised at the time by saying "Inductive DC/DC convertors drive single or multiple LEDs with currents from 700mA through to 1.5A, in buck, boost and buck/boost configurations".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Current monitor covers a wider range from
Zetex: "Reductions in circuit complexity, combined with the monitor's SOT23-5 package, mean savings in solution cost and footprint can be achieved".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Zetex
concerning its ZXCT1020
- take a look at Current monitor offers high accuracy
which says: "The ZXCT1020's very low on-chip offset trimming brings a significant improvement in performance for very small sense voltages at high current levels".
Take a look also at the news release from Linear Technology Corp, Charger chips keep Li cells cool,
as well as Current monitor promises accurate measurement from Zetex,
and Convertor chip is biased about photodiodes from Linear Technology Corp.
