ABSTRACT:
A current sensing circuit for sensing the current provided to LEDs by a constant current power source includes a resistive shunt in series with the load and a current mirror having a first leg connected to a first terminal of the resistive shunt and a second leg connected to a second terminal of the resistive shunt. Both legs of the current mirror are also connected to ground. The first leg provides a reference signal to the second leg, and the second leg uses the reference signal and a voltage at the second terminal of the resistive shunt to provide a ground referenced output signal indicative of the current provided to the LEDs.
