PGA112EVM Hardware Setup

www.ti.com

The PGA112EVM hardware setup involves connecting the two PCBs of the EVM together, applying
power, and connecting an external shunt and load. The external connections may be the real-world
system that the PGA112 will be incorporated into.

Figure 6

shows the typical hardware connections.
