Figure 36. Inverting Output Configuration

Current Output Option

If a current output is required, connect the current output, OUT

(Pin 9), to the destination load. To maximize precision, provide

a means for external calibration to replace the internal trimmed

resistor, which is bypassed. This configuration is useful for conve-

nient summing of the AD8436 result with another voltage, or

for polarity inversion.

Recommended Application

Figure 39 shows a circuit for a typical application for frequencies

as low as power line, and above. The recommended averaging,

crest factor and LPF capacitor values are 10 μF, 0.1 μF and

3.3 μF. Refer to the Using the Output Buffer section if additional

low-pass filtering is required.

Figure 37. Connections for Current Output Showing Voltage Inversion

Single Supply

Connections for single supply operation are shown in Figure 38

and are similar to those for dual power supply when the device is

ac-coupled. The analog inputs are all biased to half the supply

voltage, but the output remains referred to ground because the

output of the AD8436 is a current source. An additional bypass

connection is required at Pin 11 (IGND) to suppress ambient noise.
