INA260EVM-PDK and Software Tutorial

EVM Digital Inputs and Outputs
The only digital input signals required to operate the INA260 are the 2-bit I
2
C device address (A[1:0]),
serial clock (SCL), and serial data (SDA), which is a bidirectional pin and thus also an output. The device
address bits can each assume one of four values: GND, V
S
, SDA or SCL, resulting in 16 possible slave
addresses summarized in
. The values of A0 and A1 must be set using jumpers J2 and J3,
respectively.

SCL and SDA are driven by the SM-USB-DIG via J4. These are open-drain inputs and the EVM contains
pullup resistors to drive these inputs high when the corresponding SM-USB-DIG digital outputs are in tri-
state. Both fast (1 kHz to 400 kHz) and high-speed (1 kHz to 2.94 MHz) I
2
C modes are supported.
The outputs of the INA260 include SDA and ALERT, both of which are routed to J4 and are readable from
the GUI. The GUI includes support for both over- and underlimit as well as conversion ready indicator
modes of the ALERT pin. The state of the ALERT pin can be read from either the GUI or the onboard LED
indicator.

INA260EVM-PDK Setup
CAUTION
Components
of
the
INA260EVM-PDK
are
susceptible
to
damage
by
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Customers are advised to observe proper ESD
handling precautions when unpacking and handling the EVM, including the use
of a grounded wrist strap at an approved ESD workstation.
Setting up the INA260EVM-PDK involves the following sequence of operations:
1. Perform a one-time GUI software installation
2. Configure the EVM jumpers
3. Connect the hardware
4. Power-up the EVM and input source
