INA226: Vbus connection

Part Number: INA226

Tool/software:

Hello TI team,

I have some questions. In the High-Side Sensing Circuit, Vbus should be connected to V-, as this represents the actual voltage at the load side.

But in the diagram below, why is it connected to V+?

Thanks

  • Hello Gary,

    For High-Side applications, you can actually connect the VBUS to either IN+ or IN-. It just depends on whether you want your power measurement to include the power dissipated over the shunt resistor or not.
