Hi,
I’m about to use the CW501 with a High-Side Shunt.
According to the documentation, the shunt should be at R6. But what’s the reason for R18/R19?
They give me another 20 Ohms in series with the shunt resistor, which is too much for my application.
(My system can handle 3 Ohms before it becomes unstable.)
Also, can you explain what R8/R7 are good for?
Thanks!

Hi Jones,
Oops - missed this one! Those resistors are somewhat there ‘just incase’ to be honest It’s a bit of input protection to limit potential current slightly, as well as reducing very fast edges (ESD event).
If you are using the shunt at R6 - just short R18/R19 instead with a solder blob or 0-ohm resistor.
Hope this helps!
