Yep- that's basically it, convert the current to a voltage with
something called a resistor. The actual circuitry to do this will be a
function of your intended use. For example are you monitoring for a trip
or foldback threshold , or are you monitoring for a measurement to be
displayed, or are you monitoring for some other purpose, and if so, then
how much range do you need i.e. 10:1, 100:1, 1000:1 etc. As usual we
will be standing by to give you the best possible answer, as well as
including a compendium of 10,000 ascii art drawings of typical circuits
if that's what you desire. We aim to please you in every way possible
and eagerly await your evaluation of our performance, maybe even
declaring one or the other of us a "winner," the ultimate purpose of our
existence...

Hmm - unfortunately I cannot declare you the winner, as you just
restated my original question as a statement, with a condescending
tone as an added bonus. Better luck next time!

Hi Michael
I have used some highend sensor-ic's from Maxim try search for high
end sensors at maxim.. they can do what you need.

Hi Alex - that sounds like exactly what I'm using right now. I'm using
MAX4372H high side current amplifiers. I would just prefer to find a
solution that didn't require shunt resistors.
