Hello guys!
First, Please, understand my English. not so good.
i want use uCurrent with external power. so, now i'm doing make custom circuits based uCurrent Gold circuit in KiCAD. if i done, it will have 2-way power.
and i found something important one. that is power source should be isolated. so, Mr. David jones use battery power source. so, that simple circuit can measure precision current.
but, i want use external DC power(like USB). i want escape from battery life time so much!
so, i choice MAX256 IC. this IC work like this. [ Input 5V and make AC source by inner FET. and make DC Voltage/Current by transformer, LDO parts. ]
it will be no problem?
and if i use MAX256. necessarily, it will generate noise. and problem is CAPs can't remove noise perfactly. it's very big problem..
maby, in bad case, uCurrent measurement accuracy will going down to earth core or going to Andromeda Galaxy.
Somebody help me! i need a Idea and advise.
my chat nickname is Kall.
