  • Page 11: Current Test Using Lpc4322

    Due to the input offset voltage variations in MAX9634, the current measurement circuit is not recommended for measuring currents below 150 A. The QN908x current can be measured by the voltage across a sense resistor in series with the supply. The voltage across a series 4.12-Ω resistor with the target QN908x VCC can be manually measured at JP12 on the PCB.
