Other Parts Discussed in Thread: INA226,
Hello everyone,
i am designing an application related to power supplies and Battery management systems and i would like to measure the current through a shunt resistor.
i am choosing my Current Monitor Chip and now i summarized all my options to two : INA260 and INA226.
I prefer for sure a prefered high accurate messarument, the thing is am confused the INA260 is new more than the 226 and i checked realy precisly both datasheets.
the 226 has better gain error and better offset also better CMRR ( basically all 3 most important parameters are better here ) but the the 260 is new. Can someone tells me the difference between both? like what did it change in this one? which one would you recommend for me? i am not measuring high currents anyway.
Another questions is , is this because the 260 comes with a built in Shunt Resistor which make the accuracy in it lower than the 226 without the resistor?, how do you choose the shunt resistor for the 226 for example? with ohms law only right? my input voltage and the current am expecting to measure true?
