433 - How can I sense current with a Power Manager II?

The Power Manager II devices can not measure current directly. However, the Application Note AN6049 shows several circuits that can be used with a Power Manager II device to measure current. The circuits shown convert the current into a voltage that can be monitored by the Voltage Monitor (VMON) inputs so the programmable trip points can be adjusted to set a range of currents.
