PRODUCTION DATA
This application example shows how the LMP860x can be used to monitor the current flowing in and out of a battery pack. The fact that the LMP860x can measure small voltages at a high offset voltage outside the parts own supply range makes this part a very good choice for such applications. If the load current of the battery is higher then the charging current, the output voltage of the LMP860x is above the half offset voltage for a net current flowing out of the battery. When the charging current is higher then the load current the output is below this half offset voltage.
