This current shunt monitor circuit allows a current measurement to be made by measuring the voltage drop across a shunt resistor in the “high side” of a power supply. The INA193 is capable of operating with a common- mode voltage of up to +80V and its CMV range is not a function of
its supply voltage. The INA193 provides a differential voltage gain of 20V/V and its recommended full- scale input voltage is 100mV. An INA194 provides a gain of 50V/V and an INA195 provides a gain of 100V/V. R1 & R2 together with C2, C3, & C4 provide differential and common-mode filtering and are recommended for switching power supplies. The two resistors should be carefully matched (1% tolerance) as well as capacitors C3 & C4 (5% or better tolerance). Resistors of 100 ohms will give a gain error of slightly under 2%.
