The ADS131B26-Q1 features two high-precision, 24-bit ADC channels that are intended for battery current-shunt measurements (ADC1A and ADC1B). For demonstration purposes, the EVM includes a 100-Ω, 1206-footprint resistor on ADC1A and ADC1B to function as a current-shunt resistor (R8 and R9, respectively). A more realistic application uses a much smaller shunt resistor value (that is, 50 μΩ) that is not practical to include on the EVM hardware. A small current up to 12.5 mA at gain = 1 can be applied to the positive channel input (CPA and CPB), and the low-side of the shunt resistor is connected to AGND by default. Figure 2-3 shows the current input schematic for ADC1A.
