Description:
The INA226 is a high-precision current shunt and power monitor with an I2C or SMBUS compatible interface. This device is designed to accurately measure both the shunt voltage drop and bus supply voltage. With programmable calibration values, conversion times, and averaging options, combined with an internal multiplier, the INA226 provides direct readouts of current in amperes and power in watts.
Key Benefits:
- Wide Voltage Range: Monitors common-mode bus voltages from 0 V to 36 V, independent of the supply voltage.
- Low Power Consumption: Operates on a single 2.7-V to 5.5-V supply, drawing only 330 μA of supply current.
- High Precision: Ensures accurate measurements with a maximum gain error of 0.1% and an offset of 10 μV.
- Versatile Addressing: Supports up to 16 programmable addresses, making it ideal for multi-sensor applications.
- Robust Design: Specified to operate over a wide temperature range from -40°C to 125°C.
How to Use:
1. Connect the VBUS pin to the bus voltage you want to monitor.
2. Connect the IN+ and IN- pins to the shunt resistor.
3. Configure the IIC address using the A0 and A1 pins.
4. Connect the SDA and SCL pins to your microcontroller's IIC bus.
5. Read the current, voltage, and power data through the IIC interface.
