3.1
Electrostatic Discharge Warning
CAUTION
Many of the components on the INA230EVM 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.
3.2
Connecting the Hardware
To set up the INA230EVM and connect the two PCBs of the EVM together (that is, the INA230 Test Board
and SM-USB-DIG Platform board), gently slide the male and female ends of the 10-pin connectors
together. Make sure that the two connectors are completely pushed together; loose connections may
cause intermittent operation.
