    SBOU055A – February 2008 – Revised February 2010 INA209 Evaluation Module This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the INA209 evaluation module (EVM). It discusses the processes and procedures required to properly use this EVM board. This document also includes the physical printed circuit board (PCB) layout, schematic diagram, and circuit descriptions.

  • Page 2: Overview

    Related Documentation from Texas Instruments The INA209EVM is an evaluation module that is used to fully evaluate the INA209 current shunt monitor. The INA209 is a mixed-signal current shunt monitor. The INA209EVM consists of two PCBs. One board generates the digital signals (USB DIG Platform) required to communicate with the INA209 (INA209_Test_Board), and the second board contains the INA209, as well as support and configuration circuitry.
  • Page 3 INA209 Product Data Sheet SBOS403 If You Need Assistance If you have questions about the INA209 evaluation module, send an e-mail to the Linear Application Team at precisionamps@list.ti.com. Include INA209EVM as the subject heading. Information About Cautions and Warnings This document contains caution statements.

  • Page 4: System Setup

    INA209EVM. The PC runs software that communicates with the USB Dig platform. The USB Dig platform generates the digital signals used to communicate with the INA209 test board. Connectors on the INA209 test board allow for connection to the system that will be monitored by the user.

  • Page 5: Block Diagram Of The Ina209 Test Board

    Theory of Operation for the INA209 Test Board Hardware Figure 3 shows the block diagram of the INA209 test board. The INA209 test board functionality is relatively simple. It provides connections to the I C™ interface and general-purpose inputs/outputs (GPIOs) on the USB Dig platform.

  • Page 6: Ina209 Test Board Schematic

    Figure 4 illustrates the system setup for the INA209 test board schematic. LEDs D1 through D6 are used as indicators for many of the digital signals (for example, Warning, Critical, GPIO, etc). Jumpers JMP1 through JMP8 allow the configuration of A0 and A1. Connector T1 allows the connection of shunt and bus voltages.

    Theory of Operation For the USB Dig Platform Figure 5 shows the block diagram for the USB Dig platform. This platform is a general-purpose data acquisition system that is used on several different Texas Instruments evaluation modules. The block diagram shown in Figure 5 illustrates the general platform outline.

  • Page 14: Default Jumper Settings

    INA209EVM. In general, the jumper settings of the USB Dig platform do not need to be changed. However, you may want to change some of the jumpers on the INA209 test board to match your specific device configuration (for example, to change the I address).
  • Page 15 J5 or T3 (9V dc). Bus power is 5V from the JUMP2 USB bus. External power is typically used because the USB bus power is noisy. This jumper determines where the INA209 gets its power supply. In the V position, the EVM provides power. The default is the JUMP3 EE ON position.

    Using the INA209 Software The INA209EVM software has 10 different tabs that allow you to access different features of the INA209. The first seven tabs were designed for complete configuration of the device by stepping through these tabs in order. Each of these tabs are intended to have an intuitive graphical interface that allows users to develop a better understanding of the INA209.
  • Page 21 Power, Bus Overvoltage, and Bus Undervoltage. If an INA209 reading exceeds the value in a overlimit limit register, the INA209 overlimit will trip. Other options on the warning feature are also set on this tab (for example, the delay, polarity, latch enable, and output enable). See the Over-Limit/Critical Watchdog Registers section of the INA209 data sheet.
  • Page 22 Registers Tab This tab allows reading and editing of all the registers in the INA209. All the previous tabs will affect the register listing. For example, changing the A/D configuration in tab 2 will affect Register 0 in the register list.
