OFFSET ADDITION CIRCUITS FOR SENSE TRANSISTORS

In examples, an apparatus for sensing current comprises a power transistor; a sense transistor coupled to the power transistor; and an offset addition circuit coupled to the power transistor and the sense transistor, the offset addition circuit comprising a first pair of transistors and a differential amplifier. The apparatus also comprises a cascode amplifier circuit coupled to the offset addition circuit, the cascode amplifier circuit comprising a second pair of transistors, and a gain trim circuit coupled to the cascode amplifier circuit, the gain trim circuit including another differential amplifier and a third transistor. The apparatus further includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the gain trim circuit and storage coupled to the ADC.
