INA230EVM Evaluation Board and Software Tutorial

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the INA230EVM evaluation board. It
discusses how to set up and configure the software and hardware, and reviews various aspects of the
program operation. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation boardevaluation module, and EVM
are synonymous with the INA230EVM. This user's guide also includes information regarding operating
procedures and input/output connections, an electrical schematic, printed circuit board (PCB) layout
drawings, and a parts list for the EVM.
