The LTC2941 datasheet provides a recommended layout and placement guide, but it's essential to follow good PCB design practices, such as keeping the sense lines short and away from noise sources, and using a solid ground plane to minimize noise and EMI.
Calibration is not required for the LTC2941, as it has an internal calibration circuit. However, it's essential to ensure that the sense resistor is accurately valued and that the PCB layout is correct to minimize errors.
The LTC2941 can measure currents up to 100A, but it's essential to ensure that the sense resistor is rated for the maximum current and that the PCB layout can handle the resulting power dissipation.
Yes, the LTC2941 can measure bidirectional currents, but it requires an external circuit to handle the direction detection. The datasheet provides an example circuit for bidirectional current measurement.
The LTC2941 has a digital output that can be interfaced with a microcontroller using an SPI or I2C interface. The datasheet provides example code and interface circuits for popular microcontrollers.
