Overview

The INA226AQDGSRQ1 is an automotive-qualified, high-accuracy current and power monitor with an I2C and SMBus compatible interface. It features a 16-bit ADC to measure shunt voltage drops and bus supply voltages ranging from 0V to 36V, providing calculated power and current readings directly to the host controller.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers exceptional precision with a 0.1% maximum gain error and a low 10 microvolt offset, allowing for accurate measurements even with small shunt resistors. The AEC-Q100 qualification and functional safety-capable rating make it suitable for rigorous automotive and mission-critical industrial environments.

Applications

Electric Vehicle Battery Management
Monitoring cell string current and bus voltage in high-voltage battery packs for state-of-charge calculations.
Automotive Body Electronics
High-side current sensing for power distribution modules and electronic fuse applications to detect overcurrent conditions.
Precision Industrial Power Supplies
Providing real-time power consumption data in regulated power systems with high common-mode voltage requirements.
