Connecting an external resistor, the input offset. As an example, the LT6106 has a typical R input offset of 150µV. If the minimum current is 20mA, a IN, between –IN and V+ forces a potential across RIN that is the same as the sense voltage across R sense resistor of 7.5mΩ will set V SENSE. A SENSE to 150µV. This is corresponding current, V the same value as the input offset. A larger sense resis- SENSE/RIN, will flow through RIN. The high impedance inputs of the sense amplifier will not tor will reduce the error due to offset by increasing the conduct this current, so it will flow through an internal sense voltage for a given load current.

SENSE will maximize the dynamic range and provide a system that has 100mV across the sense resistor at peak The output current can be transformed into a voltage by load (2A), while input offset causes an error equivalent to adding a resistor from OUT to V–.
