Abstract

See full text

A system and method for detecting, measuring, and reporting a time derivate of a current signal (di/dt). A sensing element detects current from a load. The sensing element includes an inductor. The inductor is located in series with the load and includes associated parasitic resistance. A differential potential develops across the inductor and the parasitic resistance. The differential potential is amplified and converted to a single-ended value. The single-ended value is then fed to an analog to digital converter that provides an output representative of di/dt.
