In one embodiment, a method for measuring current is described herein. The method comprises shorting first and second inputs of an amplifying circuit to generate a first output signal, and converting the first output signal into an offset cancelation value. The method also comprises passing a current through a power switch, wherein the current generates a voltage drop across the power switch, applying the voltage drop across the first and second inputs of the amplifying circuit to generate a second output signal, and converting the second output signal into a current value. The method further comprises subtracting the offset cancelation value from the current value to generate an offset-compensated current value.
