LVK Series
Four Terminal High Precision Current Sense
Current sense resistors enable the measurement of current flow
in a circuit by monitoring a voltage drop across a precisely cali-
brated resistance. The LVK chip features four terminals, also
known as a “Kelvin” configuration. This configuration enables
current to be applied through two opposite terminals and a
sensing voltage to be measured across the other two terminals,
eliminating the resistance and temperature coefficient of the
terminals for a more accurate current measurement.
Isolating the voltage and current terminals (see schematic)
facilitates a very accurate current measurement. Ohmite’s pro-
prietary technology offers an excellent Temperature Coefficient
of Resistance (TCR) even for very low resistance values. The
resistive element consists of a durable, anti-corrosive metal
alloy that combines reliable performance with the ability to
withstand harsh environments.
