2 Overview
The INA23x devices are digital power monitors with integrated 16-bit (INA232, INA236) and 12-bit (INA234)
delta-sigma ADCs specifically designed for current-sensing applications. The devices can measure a selectable
full-scale differential input of ±81.92 mV or ±20.48 mV across the shunt with common-mode voltage support
from –0.3 V to +48 V (–0.3 V to +28 V for INA234). The built-in digital accumulation calculates average power
and current if calibration register is programmed. The INA23x devices also have built-in diagnostics to indicate
system health accessible through a digital output pin, ALERT. The output can be interfaced with a multitude of
micro controllers (MCUs) with a standard I2C interface.
