Product details
Overview
INA219AIDR from Texas Instruments is a zero-drift, bidirectional current/power monitor IC with I²C/SMBus interface, sensing shunt voltages from 0 to ±320 mV (PGA-selectable) and bus voltages from 0 to 26 V, delivering 12-bit ADC resolution, ±0.5% current measurement error over temperature, and real-time power calculation in watts - used for precision power management in server PSUs and telecom rectifiers.
For engineers reviewing the INA219AIDR datasheet, INA219AIDR pinout, INA219AIDR application, or INA219AIDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3–5.5 V supply range, SOT-23-8 package footprint, programmable 16 I²C addresses, ±40 µV offset voltage (INA219A grade), and integrated PGA enabling flexible shunt scaling without external components.
Technical Context
The INA219AIDR integrates a delta-sigma ADC with independent programmable averaging for shunt and bus voltage channels, supporting up to 128-sample averaging per channel to suppress noise in high-dV/dt environments. Its internal multiplier computes power by combining calibrated current and bus voltage data registers.
It implements a configurable PGA with /1, /2, /4, or /8 gain options to match shunt resistor selection, and dual bus voltage full-scale ranges (16 V or 32 V) set via BRNG bit. The device operates in continuous, triggered, or power-down modes, with conversion ready flag (CNVR) for synchronization and 40 µs wake-up time from power-down.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current/power monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA226AIDGST | Higher accuracy (±0.1% current error), 16-bit ADC, 10× faster conversion (532 µs vs 586 µs), but requires 2.7–5.5 V supply and uses same SOT-23-8 package | Targeted at high-end energy metering and precision lab equipment where resolution outweighs cost | Select INA226AIDGST when <0.2% current error and 16-bit resolution are mandatory; INA219AIDR remains optimal for cost-sensitive telecom/server OEM designs |
| MAX4008AUB+ | Fixed-gain (50 V/V) analog output, no integrated ADC or I²C; requires external ADC and microcontroller for digital readout | Suitable for analog feedback loops in DC-DC controllers where digital telemetry is not required | Choose MAX4008AUB+ only if analog output simplifies system architecture; INA219AIDR delivers complete digital solution with no external components |
Compared with INA226AIDGST and MAX4008AUB+, the INA219AIDR offers the best balance of integration, accuracy, and cost for embedded power telemetry - providing calibrated current/voltage/power over I²C in a single SOT-23-8 IC without requiring external signal conditioning or higher-resolution ADCs.

FAQ
What is the maximum bus voltage the INA219AIDR can measure?
The INA219AIDR supports a bus voltage input range of 0 to 26 V, with absolute maximum ratings allowing common-mode voltage up to 26 V at IN− and differential voltage up to ±26 V across IN+ and IN−. This makes the INA219AIDR suitable for 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V system rails. Exceeding 26 V violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage.
Does the INA219AIDR require external calibration components?
No, the INA219AIDR does not require external calibration components. It features an internal programmable calibration register that scales raw ADC readings into amperes and watts based on user-provided shunt resistance value and desired current LSB. Calibration is performed digitally via I²C writes to register 0x05, eliminating trim pots or laser trimming.
Can the INA219AIDR measure bidirectional current flow?
Yes, the INA219AIDR measures bidirectional current by interpreting the polarity of the shunt voltage (VIN+ − VIN−). When VIN+ < VIN−, the shunt voltage register returns a two's-complement negative value, and the current register reflects negative amperes. This enables monitoring of charging and discharging currents in battery applications without hardware reconfiguration.
What is the role of the A0 and A1 pins on the INA219AIDR?
The A0 and A1 pins on the INA219AIDR are digital address configuration inputs that set the device's 7-bit I²C slave address. Each pin can be tied to GND or VS, yielding four combinations and enabling up to 16 unique addresses (0x40–0x4F) when combined with the fixed base address. This allows multiple INA219AIDR devices to share a single I²C bus without address collision.
How does the PGA setting affect shunt voltage measurement on the INA219AIDR?
The PGA setting on the INA219AIDR scales the full-scale shunt voltage range: /1 = ±40 mV, /2 = ±80 mV, /4 = ±160 mV, and /8 = ±320 mV. Selecting a higher PGA gain extends measurable current range for a given shunt resistor, while lower gain improves resolution for low-current applications. The PGA is configured via bits 11–10 in the Configuration register (0x00).
