PRODUCTION DATA.
The INA1x8 devices can be used with an ADC such as the ADS7870 programmed for differential mode operation. Figure 17 illustrates this configuration. In this configuration the use of two INAs allows for bidirectional current measurement. Depending upon the polarity of the current, one of the INAs provides an output voltage, while the other output is zero. In this way the ADC reads the polarity of current directly, without the need for additional circuitry.
