This platform is a general-purpose data acquisition system that is used on several different Texas Instruments' evaluation modules. The details of its operation are included in a separate document. The block diagram shown in Figure 4 is given as a brief overview of the platform. The primary control device of the SM-USB-DIG platform is the TUSB3210. The TUSB3210 is an 8052 microcontroller that has a built-in USB interface. The microcontroller receives information from the host computer that it interprets into power, I2C, SPI, and other digital I/O patterns. During the digital I/O transaction, the microcontroller reads the response of any device connected to the I/O interface. The response from the device is sent back to the PC where it is interpreted by the host computer.

Some of the jumpers on the INA3221EVM board can be changed to match specific configuration requirements. For example, a specific I2C address can be set by configuring jumpers J1 and J2. Figure 8. INA3221EVM Default Jumper Settings Jumper 3 on the INA3221EVM is typically set to the INT position. When set to the INT position, the INA3221 supply voltage is generated and controlled by the SM-USB-DIG platform. When this jumper is set to the EXT position, VS connects to terminal strip T2. Jumpers J1 and J2 control the INA3221 I2C address pin. These jumpers can set the address (A0) pin to either high, low, SCL, or SDA. Make sure to only connect one jumper at a time, never both. Failure to properly connect jumpers can cause shorts or interruptions in the communication lines. For more information on the INA3221 addressing, refer to the INA3221 product data sheet. SBOU126 - April 2012 Submit Documentation Feedback INA3221EVM Evaluation Board and Software Tutorial Copyright (c) 2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated 9 INA3221EVM Hardware Overview www.ti.com Table 4 summarizes the function of the INA3221 test board jumpers. For most applications, all jumpers should be left in the respective default configurations. Table 4. INA3221EVM Test Board Jumper Functions 3.6 Jumper Default Purpose J1 GND J2 Open These jumpers select the I2C A0 address selection. Four separate I2C addresses can be selected, depending upon whether J1 is set high or low or whether J2 is set to SDA or SCL. J3 INT This jumper selects whether the INA3221 DVDD pin is connected to the VDUT signal generated from the SM-USB-DIG platform or whether the digital supply pin is connected to terminal T2, allowing for an external supply to power the digital circuitry. The default INT position connects the DVDD pin to the VDUT control signal. INA3221EVM Features This section describes some of the hardware features present on the INA3221EVM test board. 3.6.1 J3: I2C VS Control Setting Jumper J3 selects what the INA3221 supply pin is connected to. If J3 is set to the INT position, the VS pin is connected to the switchable VDUT signal generated from the SM-USB-DIG platform. This voltage can be set to either 3.3 V or 5 V, depending on how it is configured in the software. While J3 is set in the INT position, the VS Power button in the INA3221EVM software is able to control whether the VDUT supply voltage is turned on or off. When J3 is set in the EXT position, an external supply connected to terminal T2 can be used to provide the INA3221 supply voltage. 3.6.2 J1 and J2: I2C Address Hardware Setting (A0) Jumpers J1 and J2 are used to set the hardware setting for the A0 I2C address pin on the INA3221. Using J1, the A0 address can be set to either a logic '1' or a logic '0'. Using J2, the A0 address can be set to either the SCL or SDA communication line. Make sure to only have either J1 or J2 connected individually; failure to keep these lines separate can lead to board shorts and problems with the I2C communication lines. See Section 5.2.1 on how to configure the INA3221EVM software to match the J1 and J2 hardware setting. 3.6.3 External I2C Lines and Terminal Block T1 The INA3221EVM I2C communication lines are tied to two sources: the internal I2C communication lines from the SM-USB-DIG and terminal block T1. If the user wants to add external signals separate from the SM-USB-DIG, simply disconnect the SM-USB-DIG from the INA3221EVM board and hook up the necessary SDA, SCL, and GND lines. Also, remember to apply an external DVDD to the lines compatible with the I2C communication device being used. NOTE: Failure to disconnect the SM-USB-DIG while using external I2C communication can cause damage to the SM-USB-DIG or any connected external communication devices. 10 INA3221EVM Evaluation Board and Software Tutorial Copyright (c) 2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated SBOU126 - April 2012 Submit Documentation Feedback INA3221EVM Software Setup www.ti.com 3.6.4 Shunt Monitor Configuration and Terminal Blocks T3, T5, and T6 The INA3221 is typically used in a high-side shunt configuration, as shown in Figure 9. Terminal blocks T3, T5, and T6 represent VIN+ and VIN- for channels 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Depending on application requirements, either of these configurations may be used without applying changes to the INA3221EVM board or software. Figure 9.
