7.1 Application Information

The INA790x measures the voltage developed as current flows across the integrated current shunt. The device provides a reference pin to configure operation as either unidirectional or bidirectional output swing. When using the INA790x for inline motor current sense or measuring current in an H-bridge, the device is commonly configured for bidirectional operation.
