The circuit of Fig.2 was designed in order to interface a PIC microcontroller to a standard clip-on DVM (digital voltmeter) current probe. The PIC device chosen must have an analogue input and the software depends on the application used. The circuit utilizes low-noise LMC6084 operational amplifiers (IC1a and IC1b) as a precision rectifier and a filter (IC1c) with pre-settable gain to give a response to the average current.

The interface circuit requires a low impedance current probe providing 1mV per ampere to be connected to the input. The accuracy of the circuit is about as good as the 8-bit ADC used within the microcontroller when one per cent resistors are employed.
