INA300EVM: INA300

Part Number: INA300EVM


Tool/software:

Hi Sir, 

I am trying to measure CMR and PSR, could you teach me how to measure this spec?

becasue this is comparator, I am not sure could I measure it same as OP, VOUT measure point is /ALERT? VIN is IN+/IN-

  • Hello, 

    I will take a look into this and provide you with an update tomorrow. 

    Thank you for your patience, 

    Joe

  •  Hello, 

    Thank you for your patience on this.

    The way to test this is to set an RLIMIT value and run an input current through your shunt that passes your limit value. You will need to verify baseline offset and be able to measure single digit µV range based on when the Alert output trips

    Take this first baseline measurement with the supply voltage for the INA310 constant and the supply voltage for the system constant (top node of shunt voltage). 

    For PSR, change the INA310 supply voltage and record the change in the offset voltage in µV based on when the Alert output trips. 

    For CMR, change the power supply voltage for the shunt and record the change in offset in µV based on when the Alert output trips

    This is very difficult to measure but doing the above will allow you to calculate PSR and CMR. 

    I hope this helps, 

    Joe

  • Hi Joe Sir,

    I really appreciate your kindly reply,

    I measure the CMR as follows, could you help me to check,

    step 1. Set VS=3.3V, VBUS (VIN+) 1V and measure the Alert output trip voltage( Alert pin pull low)

    step 2. Change VBUS from 1V to 36V( max of VBUS), and record the Alert output trip voltage

    step 3. Get the max and min of trip voltage from VBUS 1V to 36V

    step 4. Calculate CMR by 20*log((max trip-min trip)/ 36V-1V) 

    for the PSR, in my understand, test method is similar, the only difference is change VS from 2.7V to 5.5V, and VBUS=12V, then measure Vtrip.

    and the formula could be ((max trip-min trip)/ 5.5V-2.7V) 

    Is my above understanding right?

  • Hello, 

    Thank you for your post. 

    Let me look through your data and approach and get back to you tomorrow. 

    Best Regards, 

    Joe

  • Hello, 

    I sincerely apologize for the delay here. Your understanding is correct. 

    Please let me know if you have additional questions. 

    Best Regards,
