The output decreases the reference voltage when R4 the input is negative, relative to the −IN pin, and increases when R1–IN– the input is positive, relative to the −IN pin.

Split Supply +IN+R2VSPLITTING AN EXTERNAL REFERENCEREF1R3 Use the internal reference resistors to divide an external reference VREF2 by 2 with an accuracy of approximately 0.2%. Split an external 2.5V 027 reference by connecting one V GND REFx pin to ground and the other 1882- 1 VREFx pin to the reference (see Figure 31). Figure 29. External Referenced Output VSSPLITTING THE SUPPLY By tying one reference pin to VS and the other to GND, the output is set at half of the supply when there is no differential input (see AD8417R4 Figure 30). The benefit of this configuration is that an external R1–IN– reference is not required to offset the output for bidirectional OUT current measurement. Tying one reference pin to VS and the +IN+ other to GND creates a midscale offset that is ratiometric to the R2VREF1R3 supply, which means that if the supply increases or decreases, 5VV the output remains at half the supply. For example, if the supply REF2 is 5.0 V, the output is at half scale, or 2.5 V. If the supply increases GND 029 by 10% (to 5.5 V), the output increases to 2.75 V. 1882- 1 Figure 31.
