A package for a current sense circuit may include a lead-frame having a shunt resistance configured to generate a shunt voltage, which can be used to measure a current through the lead-frame. The shunt resistance associated with the lead-frame may be highly variable with temperature, which can cause errors in the current measurement. Accordingly, a current sense circuit can include an amplifier with an input resistor having a composite temperature coefficient configured to match a lead-frame temperature coefficient so that an output of the amplifier is compensated to remove variations in the shunt resistance of the lead-frame due to temperature.
