INA226 IIC I2C interface Bi-directional current/Power monitoring sensor module For Arduino
DescriptionThe INA226 is a current shunt and power monitor with an I2C™- or SMBUS-compatible interface. Thedevice monitors both a shunt voltage drop and bussupply voltage. Programmable calibration value,conversion times,and averaging,combined with aninternal multiplier,enable direct readouts of current inamperes and power in watts.The INA226 senses current on common-mode bus voltages that can vary from 0 V to 36 V,independent of the supply voltage. The device operates from a single 2.7-V to 5.5-
