This is the underlying principle behind the current shunt. A current flows through a resistor, and the voltage drop across the resistor is measured. If the resistance also is known, the current ...

There’s many different ways of measuring current. If it’s DC, the easiest way is to use a shunt resistor and measure the voltage across it, and for AC you could use a current transformer.

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has introduced a new series of AEC-Q200 qualified Power Metal Strip shunt resistors with industry-low TCR down to ±10ppm/C. Vishay Dale WSBE series devices offer extremely ...

where a single shunt resistor was shared among several pins. That older configuration didn’t allow for detailed monitoring, which meant that if one pin took on too much current, it might go well ...
