INA226-Q1: What is the Shunt input range of INA226-Q1?

Part Number: INA226-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: INA226

Hi team,

What is the Shunt input range of INA226-Q1?

Similar to the following picture of INA226:

In addition, when the customer +BATT=9V,
The voltage difference of IN+IN- SHUNT INPUT range is: 0.142V min 0.144V typ 0.145V max what will happen?
Please help me to confirm.

Thanks!

  • Hello Alan,

    when the customer +BATT=9V,
    The voltage difference of IN+IN- SHUNT INPUT range is: 0.142V min 0.144V typ 0.145V max what will happen?

    The INA226-Q1 needs to be powered by less than 6V to eliminate risk of damaging the device, connecting 9V to the Vs pin will damage the INA226.

    The Differential (IN+ - IN-) voltage needs to be kept between -40 to 40 volts and the absolute voltage must be between -0.3 to 40 volts to avoid damage, so there will be no risk of damage from applying 142-145mV to the pins.

    What is the Shunt input range of INA226-Q1?

    The differential input range is -81.9175mV to 81.92mV, so the voltage range you are considering (142-145mV) will be out of range for the device and you will not be able to make meaningful measurements.

    Let me know if you need any more help with this issue,
