Current Shunt Amplifier with digital control -
del20014
R6 is the Shunt thru which the current to be measured passes. F1 fuse
is to protect shunt. D1-D4 ensures that the current flow is not broken
if
the shunt blows. The Ammeter is always used in series in a circuit.
OP07 is used here as a digitally controlled amplifier as the voltage
offset
error is around 75uV. 4052's digital controls A-B set the range
by
selecting R1, R2, R3, R5 for the digital code at A-B. The inverting
amplifier
changes the gain and four current ranges are got. The output of this
circuit
has to go to a buffer and cannot be loaded directly. R8 is offset trim
at
very high gains, it has to be adjusted for a zero output of opamp for
zero
current measured.
