2.3.2 Input Signal Path

This section describes the circuitry of the input signal path.

J1 is the main connection terminal. Pin 1 of J1 is used to tie the system ground to the EVM ground. Pin 2 of J1 is used for the VBUS measurement within the sensor. Pins 3 and 4 are tied to IN–, and Pins 5 and 6 are tied to IN+. There are two pins each for IN– and IN+ for convenience.

R1 can be used for an optional onboard shunt resistor with a 2512 footprint. Alternatively, a shunt can be placed across the IN+ and IN– terminals of J1. If desired, a differential voltage can be applied directly for measurement tests.

C3, R2, and R3 combine to make an optional input filter. R2 and R3 are populated with 0-Ω resistors by default. When using input filtering, take into account the input bias current of the device. C3 can also be used without R2 and R3 to reduce noise. See the data sheet for more info on input filtering.
