Current Click
Overview
The Current Click is a mikroBUS-compatible expansion board designed for precise shunt-based current measurement up to 3A. It integrates a Texas Instruments INA196 current shunt monitor, a Maxim Integrated MAX6106 voltage reference, and a Microchip MCP3201 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC).
Why Choose This Part
This board provides a high-side current sensing solution with a wide common-mode voltage range and a dedicated 12-bit ADC to offload processing from the host MCU. Communication over SPI ensures high-speed data transfer and robust signal integrity compared to standard analog inputs.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Plug the board into any mikroBUS-enabled socket and interface with the MCP3201 ADC via the SPI bus. MikroElektronika provides ready-to-use libraries for MikroC, MikroBasic, and MikroPascal compilers to simplify data acquisition.
