Table 9. Parameters

PARAMETER VALUE
VCM 2.5 V
FSR of ADC ±0.256 V
Output Data Rate 250 SPS
R1, R3 1 kΩ(1)
R2, R4 5 kΩ(1)
R5, R6 100 Ω(1)
CDIFF 0.22 µF
CCM1, CCM2 0.022 µF
(1) 1% precision resistors used

Using Equation 5, if VSHUNT ranges from –50 mV to +50 mV, the application circuit produces a differential voltage ranging from –0.250 V to +0.250 V across the ADC inputs . The ADC is therefore configured at a FSR of ±0.256 V to maximize the dynamic range of the ADC.

The –3 dB cutoff frequencies of the differential low-pass filter and the common-mode low-pass filters are set at 3.6 kHz and 0.36 kHz, respectively.

RSHUNT typically ranges from 0.01 mΩ to 100 mΩ. Therefore, if R1 = R3 = 1 kΩ, a good trade-off exists between the circuit input impedance and input referred resistor noise as explained in the Noise and Input Impedance Considerations section.

A simple resistor divider followed by a buffer amplifier is used to generate VCM of 2.5 V from a 5-V supply.
