Electrical engineering people on here, does anyone know of a really simple way to measure current of up to a few hundred mA that may be positive or negative on a rail that may be anywhere from +12V to -12V, and put it into a microcontroller with ADCs that only work up to 3V and can't go negative?

I'd prefer a simple integrated solution and the ACS70331 looks perfect except no one stocks it in SOIC and I don't want to hand-solder a WQFN, especially when the circuit needs four of them
