1.6 Typical Sensor Connections
The CDB5480U evaluation board provides connections directly to several types of sensors. Flexible
onboard filter networks provide a convenient configuration for three common transducers, including
current shunt, current transformer (CT), or Rogowski coil.
1.6.1 Shunt Power Meter Example
A low-cost current shunt configuration is easily achievable with the CDB5480U evaluation board.
Figure 6 depicts the voltage and current connections for a shunt sensor and its associated filter
configurations.
It is strongly recommended that a low-side (neutral path) current shunt is used — especially in high-
voltage situations. Make sure that all signals are well connected before the power source is turned on.
Extreme care should be taken when connecting high-voltage signals to the CDB5480U evaluation board.
In this configuration it is unnecessary to use a burden resistor. A single anti-alias filter is all that is required
for the current channel. Below the filter corner frequency, the CS5480 inputs will see the same voltage
that is across the shunt. Therefore, the shunt voltage should be kept below the maximum of 50mVp with
I-Channel PGA = 50x. A 10% margin is recommended for the shunt voltage (45mVp).
