A question about the current detection

Jan 30, 2009 4 Replies

Dear friends,



I have got an AC current detecting circuit. But I failed to understand. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot in advance! [url=

It seems that the circuit between the input node SI and node 8 is useless. Anyone agree with me?



And what is the capacitors C19 and C24 for?

The voltage at U4A-1 = SI/2 since R1 and R2 form a potential divider.

The voltage at U4C-9 = voltage at U4C-10 (if op-amp is operating in linear region).

Therefore voltage at U4C-8 = SI.

So it would seem that U4A and U4C are functioning as a unity gain buffer with a 10K input impedance, in which case I don't understand why they are needed, either.

They reduce the gain of the high frequency components in the signal.

Thank you very much!
