PIN Name
Description
1
VCC
This is the analog supply and provides power to internal circuitry.
2 GND
Ground pin.
3 OUT
Output pin. A resistor, RGAIN, connected from this pin pin down to ground
develops an output voltage.
4 SENSE+ This is the positive input of the current monitor and has an input range from
0V up to VCC – 2V.
5 SENSE- This is the negative input of the current monitor and has an input range from
0V up to VCC – 2V. The current through this pin varies with differential sense
voltage. A resistor, RSHUNT, from this pin to the rail being sensed set the
transconductance of the current monitor.
