INA230AIDGSR

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The INA230AIDGSR is a bidirectional current, voltage, and power monitor featuring a 16-bit I2C digital output. It supports high-side or low-side measurements with a common-mode voltage range of 0 V to 36 V. The device operates on a single supply voltage between 2.7 V and 5.5 V, consuming 700 µA of quiescent current. It provides an alert pin for threshold monitoring and includes internal gain and averaging registers. The component is housed in a VSSOP-10 package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Current Regulation/Management Feature Summary

• Provides simultaneous measurement of shunt voltage, bus voltage, and calculated power via a 16-bit I2C interface.
• Supports bidirectional current flow detection for flexible high-side or low-side placement.
• Includes programmable alert functionality to trigger system responses upon exceeding defined thresholds.

Current Regulation/Management Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring precise current monitoring
• Power distribution units in server racks and data centers
• Battery management systems for charge and discharge tracking

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required temperature grade and accuracy class. Confirm compatibility with the target I2C bus speed and voltage levels before finalizing procurement orders.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select this component when both current and power monitoring are required from a single sensor. It is suitable for applications needing high accuracy without external calibration. Consider the 36 V common-mode limit and I2C interface requirements when designing the system architecture.

Current Regulation/Management Part Context

This device belongs to the Texas Instruments INA230 family of digital current monitors. It integrates precision amplifiers and analog-to-digital converters to deliver direct digital readings. The series is designed to simplify system design by reducing the need for external microcontroller processing for basic monitoring tasks.

Current Regulation/Management Replacement Considerations

Check for INA226 or INA228 equivalents if lower cost or different package options are needed. Verify that substitute parts support the same 36 V common-mode voltage and I2C protocol compatibility.
