Typical Application
The INA230 measures the voltage developed across a current-sensing resistor (RSHUNT) when current passes through it. The device also measures the bus supply voltage and can calculate power when calibrated. It comes with alert capability where the alert pin can be programmed to respond to a user-defined event or to a conversion ready notification. This design illustrates the ability of the alert pin to respond to a set threshold.
