8.2 Typical Application

One application for the INAx181 is to monitor bidirectional currents. Bidirectional currents are present in systems that have to monitor currents in both directions; common examples are monitoring the charging and discharging of batteries and bidirectional current monitoring in motor control. The device configuration for bidirectional current monitoring is shown in Figure 8-7. Applying stable REF pin voltage closer to the middle of device supply voltage allows both positive- and negative-current monitoring, as shown in this configuration. Configure the INAx181 to monitor unidirectional currents by grounding the REF pin.
