Abstract
A method and system for determining a current flowing through an electrical component are provided. A switch electrically coupled to the electrical component and two voltage sources is activated. The activation of the switch causes current to flow through the electrical component after an amount of time. The amount of time between said activating the switch and the flow of current through the electrical component is determined. The current flowing through the electrical component is measured to determine a measured current value. The measured current value is modified based at least in part on the amount of time between said activating the switch and the flow of current through the electrical component.
