1. A method of measuring current for a power supply system, comprising:
- determining a load combination;
determining a first coefficient and associating the first coefficient with the load combination and an amplification factor;
determining a second coefficient based on the first coefficient and associating the second coefficient with the load combination and the amplification factor;
measuring a voltage of the power supply system; and
estimating a current based on the voltage, the first coefficient, and the second coefficient.

Abstract
A current measurement control system for a power supply system is provided. The current measurement control system includes a load module that estimates a total load of the power supply system. An amplification module selectively determines an amplification factor based on the total load and amplifies a current signal based on the amplification factor. A current measurement module measures current based on the amplified current signal.
