Notes: IC reduces the number of current-measuring external resistors to only one, via a gain-setting resistor with a fixed gain of 10. Ground-referred output voltage can be closely matched with A-D converters and microcontrollers, and protected against overvoltage conditions. An automotive, AEC-Q100-qualified version is also planned for Q1 2008.
