  • Hello Epic,

     

    In looking at the block diagrams of the two devices you will notice a significant amount of additional functionality with the INA209.

     

    INA209:

     

    First, the INA209 has outputs that report the following conditions:  critical (shunt voltage), overlimit (power and bus voltage), and warning (power, bus voltage, and shunt voltage) signals. 

     

    Also, the critical path also includes 2 DACs and 2 comparators that are not present in the INA219.  This will add die size and package size (INA209 is in a 16-pin TSSOP while the INA219 comes in SO-8 and SOT23-8.

     

    If you need further information, please let me know.
