2.3.2 Input Signal Path

This section describes the circuitry of the input signal path.

J1 is the main connection terminal. Pins 1 and 8 of J1 and J5 are used to tie the system ground to the EVM ground. Pins 2-7 of J1 are used for the each channel's IN+, IN–, and VBUS connection.

R1 or R2 can be used for an optional onboard shunt resistor with a 2512 footprint. Alternatively, a shunt can be placed across the IN+ and IN– terminals of the desired channel on J1. If desired, a differential voltage can be applied directly for measurement tests.

Each channel has two resistors and a capacitor that combine to make an optional input filter. The resistors are populated with 0Ω resistors by default. When using input filtering, take into account the input bias current of the device. The capacitor can also be used without the resistors to reduce noise. See the data sheet for more info on input filtering. Each filter of the channels is as follows:

  • Channel 1 - R3, R4, C1
  • Channel 2 - R5, R6, C2
