high side current monitor IC

[gehan_s]

Hi all,

I want to measure current draw of a DC motor driven by an H bridge. The MAX rail voltage is about 40V but I can make it a little lower.

I searched for a high side current monitor IC and got ACS712 and the ZXCT 1107.

Is a hall effect IC ok for this application or can someone suggest me a part (preferably through hole).

Regards

THis is correct choice of IC... Well you can go through this document too for shunt current measurement....

Hall Effect measure both AC & DC so is best in H bridge application
