The TIDA-010269 reference design provides a provision for users to monitor system current, bus-voltage, and power consumption. TI’s INA231 28V, 16-bit, I2C output current, voltage and power monitor is used to monitor various sections of the design similar to TIDA-010057 reference design. Figure 2-3 shows the circuit schematic. Three INA devices are implemented in the schematic. One INA measures the total current and power consumed in the system. The other two INA devices monitor the current and power of the transmitter (TX) and FPGA units respectively. The communication is done through the I2C interface. The measured voltage, current, and power values can be dynamically plotted against time.
