5.2 Measurement Methods

For Active Power measurements, the on-board INA Current Monitoring devices were used to measure the power consumed on each of the Starter Kit EVM Rails. There is one INA device per EVM rail which can be accessed via I2C. The INA measurements can be read from a python script.

The INAs may not be calibrated correctly or may not have the correct shunt resistor which creates a degree of inaccuracy in the measurements.

Starter Kit EVM INA Used for Each EVM Rail
SK-AM62B INA226
SK-AM62B-P1 INA231
SK-AM62-LP

For Low Power Mode measurements, a high precision multi-meter was used to measure the voltage drop-off across each of the power rail resistors on the board.
