Hi there,
I'm trying to design a dummy load inspired by this project by GreatScott and using components I have on hand. I'm rather new to op-amp/mosfet based designs so I was wondering if there's anything wrong with the approach I'm taking. I've included my math and other notes I think were important for the design. One thing I was confused about was the max current source/sink on Iout of the ACS712 current sensor, I figured that was for the VIOUT pin, but I didn't fully understand why it would ever source current if its an output?
