Notes
1.  Linear input range is limited by the post-amp output swing range. To avoid this limitation, directly measure the VOUT+, VOUT– of the isolation 

amplifi er.  

In order to satisfy the above Vdd1, Vdd2, Vdd3 and –Vdd3 voltages, J1, J2, J3 and J4 must be set according to the table 
as shown below:

Remarks

Default 
Setup 1

Always 
shorted

Shorting Vdd2
& Vdd3 pins

Short

needed

Setup 2

Always 
shorted

Shorting Vdd2
& Vdd3 pins

Open

Short

3 external supplies (+5V Vdd1, is3,3V for Vdd2 and Vdd3, 
while isolated -3,3V for –Vdd3) are needed.

Setup 3

Always 
shorted

Shorting Vdd3
& C8_2 pins

shorted

Shorting Vdd3
& C8_2 pins

Open

Short

3 external supplies (+5V Vdd1 & is5V for Vdd2, while 
isolated -3,3V for –Vdd3) are needed, Vdd3 is obtained thru 
converter U3.  

Setup 5

Always 
shorted

Shorting Vdd2
& Vdd3 pins

Short

Open

Only 2 external supplies (+5V Vdd1 & is5V for Vdd2 & 
Vdd3) are needed.

Setup 6

Always 
shorted

Shorting Vdd2
& Vdd3 pins

Open

Short

3 external supplies (+5V Vdd1, is5V for Vdd2 & Vdd3, 
while isolated -5V for –Vdd3) are needed.

Notes
1.  To 5Vdc at Vdd1, a 9V Battery can be connected across Pin-2 and 3 of CON1 connector or by connecting an ex5V DC supply directly 

to Pin-1 and 3 of CON1 connector.  J1 can be left shorted permanently unless U2 is non-functioning.

The output signal is measured between the “Vout” and “GND2” terminals (at the output side of the board).  With all con-
nections made and power supplies turned on, the approximate relationship of output voltage to input current is:

V

OUT

 = 8.2 x V

IN

, where 

V

IN

= R

SENSE

 x I

IN

;

With the shunt resistor in place, the maximum diff erential input voltage swing for linear operation is ±200mV as speci-
fi ed in the datasheet.  However, input voltage as high as ±300mV can be safely applied with minimal performance 
degradation.

When 68pF capacitance is selected for both C9 and C10, the bandwidth will be limited to 150kHz.  To obtain 200kHz 
bandwidth, change both C9 & C10 to 47pF.
