This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the INA193EVM evaluation module.
It discusses how to set up and configure the hardware, and reviews various aspects of the hardware
operation. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are
synonymous with the INA193EVM. This document also includes an electrical schematic, printed circuit
board (PCB) layout drawings, and a parts list for the EVM.
The INA193 is a current-shunt monitor with voltage output. The INA193EVM consists of one PCB. The
EVM consists of the INA193 device, screw-terminals, and test points for external hardware connections.

2Quick Start Setup and Use
Follow these steps to set up and use the INA193EVM:
1. Connect an external dc supply voltage (between 2.7 V and 18 V) to the V+ pin referenced to the GND
pin of the J1 terminal block.
2. Connect the desired input to the J2 terminal block. This desired input is either a external shunt resistor
or a differential voltage source with a common-mode voltage of –16 V to +80 V referenced to the GND
pin.
The INA193EVM provides basic functional evaluation of the INA193. The fixture layout is not intended to
be a model for the target circuit, and is not laid out for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing.
The layout of the INA193EVM PCB provides the following features:
•Ease of access to all device pins
•Multiple input signal options
•Optional surface-mount shunt
•Optional input filter
•Evaluate with and without a shunt resistor:
– The INA193EVM measures differential voltage both with and without a shunt resistor. Connect both
sides of an external shunt resistor to measure current, or omit the shunt resistor and apply a
differential voltage directly to the device input.
•INA19x family compatibility:
– INA193 can be desoldered and replaced with the INA194 or INA195 to evaluate other gains
available in this product family.
– INA196, INA197, and INA198 are the same devices in the same package, but with different pinouts.
The corresponding gains of the INA193 (20 V/V), INA194 (50 V/V), and INA195 (100 V/V) serve as
evaluation modules for those products as well.
Refer to the INA19x product data sheet for comprehensive information about this family of current-shunt
monitor devices.
A block diagram of the INA193 test-board hardware is shown in Figure 1.The INA193 test board contains
three, 2-pin headers, giving access to all five pins of the INA193 for evaluation. Minimal support circuitry is
included on the PCB. Support circuitry can be removed or bypassed if necessary.
The INA193EVM requires a 2.7-V to 18-V power supply. Connect the VIN+ and VIN– pins across an
external shunt resistor, in series with a –16-V to +80-V supply, to find the current flowing through that
resistor. Optionally, populate R1 as the shunt resistor and connect in series with a load supply. This shunt
resistor has a 2512 footprint, and the traces on the EVM are only able to support up to 1.5 A at room
temperature. Shunt resistors with applied current must have an appropriate power rating. Use a voltmeter
on the OUT pin to measure the voltage output of the measurement. Optionally, use R2, R3, and C1 as an
input filter.

Choose a shunt resistor with an acceptable power rating and limit the current to
1.5 A or less; otherwise, damage to the EVM may result.
3.2Voltage Inputs (VIN+ and VIN– Pins)
To evaluate the INA193, connect the VIN+ and VIN– pins at J2 to an external shunt resistor to produce a
differential voltage, or directly to a differential voltage source. The INA193 multiplies the differential voltage
by the device gain (20 V/V). The full-scale, sense-input voltage (V
has a maximum input as shown in Equation 1:
Maximum V
where
•V+ is the supply voltage
•Gain = 20 V/V (for INA193)(1)
The INA19x devices are specified for use with a V
(VIN–). If the intended application requires gain error ≤ ±1.4% with common-mode voltages up to 80 V and
V
≤ 20 mV, consider the INA282 (50 V/V) and the INA286 (100 V/V) with the INA282-286EVM.
Figure 2 shows the complete schematic of the INA193 test board. R1 is an optional shunt resistor. R2, R3,
and C1 form the optional input filter. Terminal block J1 allows access to the V+ and GND pins. Terminal
block J2 allows access to the VIN+ and VIN– pins. Terminal block J3 provides two screw terminals
connected to the OUT and GND pins.
