2.2 Current Sensing Operation

The EVM can be used with either an onboard or external shunt resistor. To use the onboard shunt resistor, solder a 2512 surface-mount technology (SMT) shunt resistor across the pads of R1, and connect the resistor in series with the external system and load current through J1. An external shunt can be connected directly across the terminals of J1. There are two terminals each for IN+ (J1 pins 5 and 6) and IN– (J1 pins 3 and 4) for convenience.
