Part Number: INA237
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: INA238, INA228

Tool/software:

Hi Team,

We do have a requirement for Power Monitor IC and identified the " INA237AIDGST " that appear suitable for our application.
But the identified part seems Obsolete. Could you please help us an alternate drop in replacement solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Sivakrishna

  • Hi Mitch,

    Thanks for the response!!

    Could you please suggest any other drop-in replacement / functional equivalent alternate by excluding not package based parts as alternates (like Reel, Tape etc.,) Looking for cross referenced alternates.

    Best Regards,

    Sivakrishna.

  • Hello Sivakrishna,

    That is the only package for the INA237. The INA238 is a higher grade version of the 237, and is fully drop in compatible, including firmware compatible, so you can use it as an alternative easily. The INA228 is a 20 bit version (as opposed to 16 bit), and is footprint compatible, but you would have to make some firmware changes to use it.

    Regards,

    Mitch
