4.1.3 Step 3: Set Conversion Times
Conversion time determines the sample rate of the INA260 internal ADC and can be programmed depending
on the bandwidth of the input signal. The INA260 offers independent control of the conversion time for bus and
shunt measurements. Step 3 provides drop-down menus from which suitable values can be selected, as shown
in Figure 4-4.
4.1.4 Step 4: Configure Alert
The Alert pin allows the user to set limits on the value of the output register corresponding to the parameter
selected from the drop-down menu, as shown in
user-specified limit, a flag is triggered on the Alert pin. Note that the Alert pin is set to active low by default.
Users can specify the limit value in the Alert Limit box.
In addition to the INA260EVM software alert configuration, the Alert Configuration box includes the Conversion
Ready button that allows for a special functionality on the Alert pin. When the INA260 completes the conversions
for the current operation, the conversion triggers the Alert pin and notifies the user that another conversion
can be performed. In most cases, the INA260 conversion ready flag is not visible because of the speed of the
INA260 conversion process.
