Connecting External Power to the INA209EVM
The INA209 power supply (V
S
) operates over the range of 3V to 5.5V (see the
). The default jumper position provides 5V to the INA209 from the USB-DIG-Platform. The power
from the USB-DIG-Platform can be changed to 3V using JUMP9.
Another option is to connect power to the INA209 power supply (V
S
) using an external power supply. In
this case, connect power to the T3 terminal block and set JMP1 to the Vs_EXT positon. The INA209
power supply (V
S
) operates over the range of 3V to 5.5V, so be careful to not exceed this range.

Connecting External Signals to the INA209EVM
The INA209 shunt and bus voltages are applied via terminal block T4. The T4 terminal block is a direct
connection to V
IN+
and V
IN–
of the INA209. The bus voltage is monitored on V
IN–
(26V max). The shunt
voltage is the difference between V
IN–
and V
IN+
(320mV max). Refer to the
