I'm trying to use multiple current sense circuits to measure currents over a wide dynamic range. The circuit has to be able to measure current ranging from 0.75A to 30uA. This can be achieved by using two high side sense resistors in series, 17 ohm and 3 ohm, each connected to their own op-amp current sense circuit with a gain of 20V/V. The issue i'm facing is that at 0.75A, the 17 ohm circuit will be railed which is fine, but the power dissipation will be almost 10W. I'm trying to figure out a way to bypass the 17 ohm current sense circuit after it has railed. I have done a fair amount of researching and I keep coming up empty. I keep on having "genious" breakthrough, but every time i realize it wont work. Does anyone have any experience with multi-stage current sense? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
