Do not leave the inputs of the AMC1300 unconnected (floating) when the device is powered up. If the device inputs are left floating, the input bias current may drive the inputs to a positive value that exceeds the operating common-mode input voltage and the device outputs the fail-safe voltage as described in the Section 8.3.3 section.

Connect the high-side ground (GND1) to INN, either by a hard short or through a resistive path. A DC current path between INN and GND1 is required to define the input common-mode voltage. Do not exceed the input common-mode range specified in the Section 7.3 table. For best accuracy, route the ground connection as a separate trace that connects directly to the shunt resistor rather than shorting GND1 to INN directly at the input to the device. See the Section 11 section for more details.
