8.1.3 Signal Conditioning

When performing accurate current measurements in noisy environments, the current-sensing signal is often

filtered. The INA186-Q1 features low input bias currents. Therefore, adding a differential mode filter to the input

without sacrificing the current-sense accuracy is possible. Filtering at the input is advantageous because this

action attenuates differential noise before the signal is amplified. Figure 8-2 provides an example of how to use a

filter on the input pins of the device.
