8.4.4 Reference Pin Connections for Bidirectional Current Measurements

Bidirectional operation allows the INA254 to measure currents through a resistive shunt in two directions. For this case, set the output voltage anywhere within the reference input limits. A common configuration is to set the reference inputs at half-scale for equal range in both directions. However, the reference inputs can be set to a voltage other than half-scale when the bidirectional current is nonsymmetrical.
