Hello all. I've picked up a couple MAX9925 chips to work with, but there's a couple things I'm not clear on.
The datasheet... http://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX9924-MAX9927.pdf
I will be using mode A.
The question I have with the application circuit on page 17... there are four resistors that have no values connected to the sensor. From what I can gather from the sheet is the inputs feed an op amp. Would I be right to assume that if I keep the values of the four resistors the same it would more or less be a unity gain type configuration? Is it possible I could just tie the OUT signal to IN - and eliminate all but the resistor between bias and IN+? I will not be using the OUT signal for anything other than for testing and would think I wouldn't need any sort of gain or other modifications to the signal.
I'm planning on connecting a standard Ford speedometer sensor to the inputs. All I know for sure is it is a VR type sensor.
