Abstract
Current monitoring techniques are included in an electronic system that provides power to a load from a power output stage that supplies power to a load. Multiple current control devices form the power output stage in series with multiple sense resistors that provide corresponding sense voltages indicative of current provided through the multiple current control devices to the load in the same or different time intervals. A calibration control circuit controls injection of current through the multiple sense resistors individually and measures the corresponding sense voltages generated by the current to determine resistance values of the multiple sense resistors. A correction subsystem computes a first ratio of a first resistance to a second resistance and a second ratio of a third resistance to a fourth resistance of the multiple sense resistors, and controls compensation for a difference between the first ratio and the second ratio to remove the measurement error.
