5.2.2 Connecting an external shunt (disconnecting the embedded shunt)
To connect an external shunt, disconnect the embedded shunt by removing resistors R109, R110, R111, R115, R116.
5.2.2.1
Configuration 1: measuring external loads and KIT33771TPLEVB currents
Figure 15
illustrates the connections required to measure both external load currents and KIT33771TPLEVB loads.
1.
Connect the battery stack to the X1-1 to X1-4 pins (positive) and X1-33, X1-31 pins (negative).
2.
Connect one side of the external shunt to the X1-33 and X1-31 pins. Connect the other side to X1-34 and X1-32 pins.

5.2.2.2
Configuration 2: measuring an external load current only
Figure 16
illustrates the connections required to measure an external load current only.
1.
Connect the positive side of the battery stack to the X1-1 to X1-4 pins. Connect the negative side of the battery stack to the X1-33
and the X1-34 pins.
2.
Connect one side of the external shunt to the load and to X1-31 (). Connect the other side of the external shunt to X1-34
(EVB neg) and X1-32 (Isense
−
).
