INA260EVM-PDK Features
•
USB-powered; no external power supply is required
•
Support for full ±15-A input current range and 36-V common-mode voltage range of the INA260
•
EVM includes placeholders for transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices to protect the INA260
inputs from excessively high common-mode voltages
•
Digital host controller included
•
Intuitive GUI software supports all major INA260 functional modes and simplifies device configuration
NOTE:
To protect against voltage transients that may exceed the absolute maximum ratings, TI
highly recommends installing the TVS devices (D3 and D4, as shown in
) with a
minimum power rating of 1000 W to clamp the input voltages to less than 36 V.
