2.1 Quick Start Setup

The following instructions describe how to set up and use the EVM.

  1. Purchase an SCB if there is not one.
  2. Download this driver and install as an administrator: https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/sbac253.
    1. Follow the download prompts. An account on my.TI™ on-line information services is required.
    2. Take note that this driver is labeled as a PAMB driver and is also used for the SCB.
  3. Attach the EVM to the SCB Controller as shown in Figure 3-1.
    1. Refer to Figure 3-2 when connecting multiple EVMs of the same type together.
  4. Connect the EVM to the PC using the provided USB cable.
    1. Insert the micro USB cable into the SCB Controller onboard USB receptacle J2.
    2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into a PC.
  5. Access the GUI from this link in either Chrome, Firefox, or Safari: https://dev.ti.com/gallery/info/CurrentSensing/EZShunt-EVM-GUI/.
  6. Connect the GND reference of the external system to the GND node of the EVM (any test point or clip labeled "GND").
  7. Verify the load current source is disabled, then connect the EVM MP1 (IS+) and MP2 (IS-) nodes in-series to the load line with properly current rated cables as explained inCurrent Sensing Operation.
