4.1 Hardware Diagram

This example uses the following hardware configuration to measure the current:

  • The DAC0 OUT pin of the device (PD6 on AVR EA) must be connected to the ADC0 IN1 pin of the device (PD0 on AVR EA) via resistor R1
  • The sensing resistor RSENSE is connected between the ADC0 inputs IN1 and IN0 (PD0 and PD1 on AVR EA)
  • The ADC0 AIN0 pin (PD1 on AVR EA) must be connected to ground via resistor R2

This example uses the following values:

R 1 = R 2 = 100 k Ω

R S E N S E = 10 k Ω

V 0 = 1 V
