6.4.1 Unidirectional Operation

The INA950-SEP measures the differential voltage developed by current flowing through a resistor that is commonly referred to as a current-sensing resistor or a current-shunt resistor. Figure 6-4 shows that the INA950-SEP operates in unidirectional mode only, meaning the device only senses current sourced from a power supply to a system load.

INA950-SEP Unidirectional Application Figure 6-4 Unidirectional Application

The linear range of the output stage is limited to how close the output voltage can approach ground under zero-input conditions. The zero current output voltage of the INA950-SEP is very small, with a maximum of GND + 25mV. Apply a sense voltage of (25mV / Gain) or greater to keep the INA950-SEP output in the linear region of operation.
