INA220EVM Hardware Setup

3.2

Typical Hardware Connections

The INA220EVM 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 INA220 will be incorporated into.

Figure 6

shows the typical hardware connections.

Figure 6. Typical Hardware Connections

3.3

Connecting the Hardware

To connect the two PCBs of the INA220EVM together, gently push on both sides of the D-SUB connectors
(as shown in

Figure 7

). Make sure that the two connectors are completely pushed together; loose

connections may cause intermittent operation.
