The following instructions describe how to set up and use the EVM.
- Purchase an SCB if you do not already have one.
- To use a PAMB Controller instead, see PAMB Compatibility.
- Download this driver and install as an administrator: https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/sbac253.
- Follow the download prompts, a myTI account is required.
- Note that this driver is labeled as a PAMB driver, but is
also used for the SCB.
- Attach the EVM to the SCB
Controller as shown in Figure 2-1.
- Refer to Figure 2-2 when connecting multiple EVMs of the same type together.
- Connect the EVM to the PC using the
provided USB cable.
- Insert the micro USB cable
into the SCB Controller onboard USB receptacle J2.
- Plug the other end of the
USB cable into a PC.
- Access the GUI from this link in either Chrome, Firefox, or Safari:
https://dev.ti.com/gallery/info/CurrentSensing/INA230EVM_GUI/.
- Connect the GND reference of the
external system to the GND node of the EVM (pin 1 of J1).
- Provide a differential input
voltage signal to the IN+ and IN– nodes by connecting the signal leads to J1 pin
5 or 6 and J1 pin 3 or 4 on the EVM as explained in Current Sensing Operation.
