ABSTRACT:
A method of sensing current in an output regulator comprises providing a current sensor having a gain resolution, setting the current sensor gain resolution to an initial resolution, sensing a current flowing through the current sensor, evaluating an amplitude of the current, and at a sampling frequency, controlling the gain resolution of the current sensor based on the evaluating.
