6.4.1 Adjusting the Output With the Reference Pin

Figure 6-1 shows the reference pin driven at the divided supply voltage to bias the output at the same voltage when differential input voltage is 0V. The INA187 output is configurable to allow for unidirectional or bidirectional operation.

INA187 Reference Pin Adjusting the Output Figure 6-1 Reference Pin Adjusting the Output

The output voltage is set by applying a voltage to the reference input pin, REF. REF is connected to a precisely matched internal gain network. When REF is connected to buffered divided supply voltage, the output is set at the mid-point voltage when current-sense input voltage is 0V as shown in Equation 1. In most bidirectional applications REF is driven to mid supply to set the output voltage to mid-supply.
