Re: Jaguar current sensing technical details?

Kevin,
The reason for the non linearity is the device's inability to drive the output to zero volts. The specification is for a minimum of 3 mV typical but can be as high as 50 mV. The TI datasheet on page 4 has a very descriptive curve showing the errors. In applications where minimum errors are needed, designers would usually add a biplolar power supply to allow driving to zero volts.
