Overview
Das Current 7 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die eine präzise und genaue Stromerfassungslösung bietet. Diese Platine verfügt über den INA282, einen bidirektionalen, hochgenauen Strom-Shunt-Monitor mit großem Gleichtaktbereich von Texas Instruments. Der INA282 ist ein Strom-Shunt-Monitor mit Spannungsausgang, der Stromabfälle über Shunts bei Gleichtaktspannungen von –14 V bis +80 V unabhängig von der Versorgungsspannung erfassen kann und in einem Bereich von 2,7 V bis 18 V Versorgung arbeitet. Die Nulldrift-Topologie ermöglicht hochpräzise Messungen mit maximalen Eingangs-Offsetspannungen von nur 70 μV. Außerdem kann der Benutzer das Ausgangssignal in analoger oder digitaler Form verarbeiten. Dieses Click Board™ bietet höhere Leistung für industrielle Steuerungs- und Automatisierungsanwendungen, Last- und Stromversorgungsüberwachung, Telekommunikationsgeräte und vieles mehr.
Das Current 7 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The Current 7 Click Board™Work?
The Current 7 Click Board™ is based on the INA381, a high-accuracy current-sensing amplifier from Texas Instruments. This voltage output current-sensing amplifier accurately measures voltages developed across the current-sensing resistor (also known as a current-shunt resistor) at a common-mode range that extends 14V below the negative supply rail as up to 80V, allowing for either low-side or high-side current sensing. The zero-drift topology enables high-precision measurements with maximum input offset voltages as low as 70μV over the entire temperature range of –40°C to +120°C.
The Current 7 Click Board™ possesses two ways to communicate with the MCU. The analog output signal of the INA282 can be converted to a digital value using MCP3221, a successive approximation A/D converter with a 12-bit resolution from Microchip using a 2-wire I2C compatible interface, or can be sent directly to an analog pin of the mikroBUS™ socket labelled as AN. The MCP3221 provides one single-ended input with low power consumption, a low maximum conversion current, and a Standby current of 250μA and 1μA, respectively. Data can be transferred at rates of up to 100kbit/s in the Standard and 400kbit/s in the Fast Mode. Selection can be performed by onboard SMD jumper labelled as OUT SEL, setting it to an appropriate position marked as AN and ADC.
The INA282 also allows a connection of external voltage signals on the onboard headers labelled as REF1 and REF2 for the device's reference voltage. This reference voltage determines how the output responds to certain input conditions. The configurable settings of the reference voltage control resistors, R5 and R6, allow the INA282 to be used in unidirectional and bi-directional applications. More information about these operational modes can be found in the attached datasheet.
The Current 7 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. It allows for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. Additionally, there is a possibility for the INA282 power supply selection via jumper labelled as PWR SEL to supply the INA282 from an external power supply terminal in the range from 2.7V to 18V or with mikroBUS™ power rails. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
