A current sensing amplifier circuit includes: an amplifier configured to generate an output voltage correlated with a current to-be-sensed according to a first input voltage at a first input end and a second input voltage at a second input end in a normal operation mode; and a current source circuit configured to generate a trimming current according to the first input voltage and a reference voltage in a trimming mode and to provide the trimming current to trim an offset referred to input (RTI) voltage generated by the current sensing amplifier circuit in the normal operation mode. The current source circuit is coupled between: a first resistor and a non-inverting input end, a second resistor and the output voltage, a third resistor and the non-inverting input end, or a fourth resistor and an inverting input end.
A current sensing amplifier circuit, which is configured to operably sense a to-be-sensed current flowing through a sensing resistor, wherein the sensing resistor has two ends correspondingly coupled to a first input end and a second input end of the current sensing amplifier circuit;
An offset referred to input (RTI) voltage trimming method, which is configured to operably trim an offset RTI voltage of a current sensing amplifier circuit;
