Hi folks,
I'm doing a project that involves reading a current from a supply line. To read the current using PIC16F1789, I used its ADC function (8-bit @ 5V) and LTC6106 for current sensing. However, I don't know how to convert the ADC reading to actual current sensed. I followed the formula and schematic in the LTC6106 datasheet but still not getting the correct results.
This is the 1st configuration: 3v3 Supply
of which I read HEX:16 and the expected reading should be 173mA.
This is the 2nd configuration: 5v0 Supply
of which I read HEX:07 and the expected reading should be 55mA.
I followed this formula and schematic in the datasheet but still no luck.
For someone that can help, I am very thankful that you shared your knowledge.
Regards,
Chandler
