Abstract
A circuit arrangement for detecting a current through a consumer 16, which is disposed between the outputs 14c, 15c of two amplifiers 14, 15, which in order to be supplied with a unipolar operating voltage VCC, each have a supply voltage connection 14a, 15a and a ground connection 14b, 15b, is characterized in that between the connection 18a of the operating voltage source and the supply voltage connection 14a, 15a and/or between the ground connection 14b, 15b and ground 18b, an ohmic resistor 17 is provided, at which a voltage UA falls, which is proportional to the current to be detected.
