Sensing Bidirectional Current With a Single Supply Op-amp
The circuit is essential the same as an operational amplifier in a differential amplifier configuration. The important difference is, instead of connecting the non-inverting input to ground, it is connected to a buffered voltage which is equal to half of your ADC reference voltage.
Bidirectional Current Sensing Schematic
In software, you retrieve an unsigned value from the ADC register, copy it to a signed integer value and subtract half of the top value. For example, for a 10-bit ADC:
int MY_SIGNED_RESULT = ADCVALUE - 512;
If your ADC supports differential conversions, You can still use the above and save a pin; or you can direct VHALF into the inverting input and the op-amp output into the non-inverting input and convert with a signed result.
Thank you for the post , very handy.
Hello,
This diagram is very helpful. I am working on kind of same thing. do you know how to calculate the values of resistors being used in this circuit if the sensing Resistor is 0.1ohm. That would be very helpful.
Thankyou
Thanks!
I just wanted to thank you guys for the series. I go to the site 3-4 times a week to see what’s new out there or maybe I’ve always wanted to buy from here, but wasn’t quite sure. After reading all the feedback from customers I decided to join. similar to the reduction I want to tell you that all the productsd are true. anyway I emailed them and they got back to me right away and my Packages arrived a day early. What more could you want? Great site, great service!!!
