1.2 INA260EVM-PDK Features

  • USB-powered; no external power supply is required
  • Support for full ±15-A input current range and 36-V common-mode voltage range of the INA260
  • EVM includes placeholders for transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices to protect the INA260 inputs from excessively high common-mode voltages
  • Digital host controller included
  • Intuitive GUI software supports all major INA260 functional modes and simplifies device configuration

Note:

To protect against voltage transients that may exceed the absolute maximum ratings, TI highly recommends installing the TVS devices (D3 and D4, as shown in Figure 1-2) with a minimum power rating of 1000 W to clamp the input voltages to less than 36 V.
