(1) Operation outside the Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent device damage. Absolute maximum ratings do not imply
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed under Recommended Operating Conditions.
If briefly operating outside the Recommended Operating Conditions but within the Absolute Maximum Ratings, the device may not
sustain damage, but it may not be fully functional. Operating the device in this manner may affect device reliability, functionality,
performance, and shorten the device lifetime.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The INA230 is a digital current sense amplifier with an I2C- and SMBus-compatible interface. The device
provides digital current, voltage, and power readings necessary for accurate decision-making in precisely-
controlled systems. Programmable registers allow flexible configuration for measurement resolution as well
as continuous-versus-triggered operation. Detailed register information appears at the end of this data sheet,
beginning with Table 8-3. See the Functional Block Diagram for a block diagram of the INA230 device.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Basic ADC Functions
The INA230 device performs two measurements on the power-supply bus of interest. The voltage developed
from the load current that flows through a shunt resistor creates a shunt voltage that is measured at the IN+ and
IN– pins. The device can also measure the power supply bus voltage by connecting this voltage to the VBUS
pin. The differential shunt voltage is measured with respect to the IN– pin while the bus voltage is measured with
respect to ground.
The device is typically powered by a separate supply that can range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The bus that is being
monitored can range in voltage from 0 V to 36 V. Based on the fixed 1.25-mV LSB for the Bus Voltage register, a
full-scale register results in a 40.96-V value.
Note
Do not apply more than 36 V of actual voltage to the input pins.
There are no special considerations for power-supply sequencing because the common-mode input range and
power-supply voltage are independent of each other, therefore the bus voltage can be present with the supply
voltage off and vice-versa.
The device takes two measurements: shunt voltage and bus voltage. The device then converts these
measurements to current, based on the Calibration register value, and then calculates power. Refer to the
Programming the Calibration Register section for additional information on programming the Calibration register.
The device has two operating modes—continuous and triggered—that determine how the ADC operates
following these conversions. When the device is in the normal operating mode (that is, MODE bits of the

Configuration register (00h) are set to '111'), the INA230 continuously converts a shunt voltage reading followed
by a bus voltage reading. After the shunt voltage reading, the current value is calculated (based on Equation 3).
This current value is then used to calculate the power result (using Equation 4). These values are subsequently
stored in an accumulator, and the measurement/calculation sequence repeats until the number of averages set
in the Configuration register (00h) is reached. Following every sequence, the present set of values measured
and calculated are appended to previously collected values. After all of the averaging is complete, the final
values for shunt voltage, bus voltage, current, and power are updated in the corresponding registers that can
then be read. These values remain in the data output registers until they are replaced by the next fully completed
conversion results. Reading the data output registers does not affect a conversion in progress.
The mode control in the Conversion register (00h) also permits selecting modes to convert only the shunt
voltage or the bus voltage to further allow the user to configure the monitoring function to fit the specific
application requirements.
All current and power calculations are performed in the background and do not contribute to conversion time.
In triggered mode, writing any of the triggered convert modes into the Configuration register (00h) (that is, MODE
bits of the Configuration register (00h) are set to ‘001’, ‘010’, or ‘011’) triggers a single-shot conversion. This
action produces a single set of measurements; thus, to trigger another single-shot conversion, the Configuration
register (00h) must be written to a second time, even if the mode does not change.
In addition to the two operating modes (continuous and triggered), the device also has a power-down mode
that reduces the quiescent current and turns off current into the device inputs, reducing the impact of supply
drain when the device is not being used. Full recovery from power-down mode requires 40 µs. The registers
of the device can be written to and read from while the device is in power-down mode. The device remains in
power-down mode until one of the active modes settings are written into the Configuration register (00h).
Although the device can be read at any time, and the data from the last conversion remain available, the
Conversion Ready flag bit (Mask/Enable register, CVRF bit) is provided to help coordinate one-shot or triggered
conversions. The Conversion Ready flag (CVRF) bit is set after all conversions, averaging, and multiplication
operations are complete.
The Conversion Ready flag (CVRF) bit clears under these conditions:

8.3.2 Power Calculation
The Current and Power are calculated following shunt voltage and bus voltage measurements (see Figure
8-1). Current is calculated following a shunt voltage measurement based on the value set in the Calibration
register. If there is no value loaded into the Calibration register, the current value stored is zero. Power is
calculated following the bus voltage measurement based on the previous current calculation and bus voltage
measurement. If there is no value loaded in the Calibration register, the power value stored is also zero. Again,
these calculations are performed in the background and do not add to the overall conversion time. These current
and power values are considered intermediate results (unless the averaging is set to 1) and are stored in an
internal accumulation register, not the corresponding output registers. Following every measured sample, the
newly-calculated values for current and power are appended to this accumulation register until all of the samples
have been measured and averaged based on the number of averages set in the Configuration register (00h).

In addition to the current and power accumulating after every sample, the shunt and bus voltage measurements
are also collected. After all of the samples have been measured and the corresponding current and power
calculations have been made, the accumulated average for each of these parameters is then loaded to the
corresponding output registers, where they can then be read.
8.3.3 Alert Pin
The INA230 has a single Alert Limit register (07h), that allows the Alert pin to be programmed to respond to a
single user-defined event or to a Conversion Ready notification if desired. The Mask/Enable register allows the
user to select from one of the five available functions to monitor and/or set the Conversion Ready bit to control
the response of the Alert pin. Based on the function being monitored, the user would then enter a value into the
Alert Limit register to set the corresponding threshold value that asserts the Alert pin.
The Alert pin allows for one of several available alert functions to be monitored to determine if a user-defined
threshold has been exceeded. The five alert functions that can be monitored are:
•
•
•
•
•
Shunt Voltage Over-Limit (SOL)
Shunt Voltage Under-Limit (SUL)
Bus Voltage Over-Limit (BOL)
Bus Voltage Under-Limit (BUL)
Power Over-Limit (POL)
The Alert pin is an open-drain output. This pin is asserted when the alert function selected in the Mask/Enable
register exceeds the value programmed into the Alert Limit register. Only one of these alert functions can be
enabled and monitored at a time. If multiple alert functions are enabled, the selected function in the highest
significant bit position takes priority and responds to the Alert Limit register value. For example, if the Shunt
Voltage Over-Limit function and the Shunt Voltage Under-Limit function are both selected, the Alert pin asserts
when the Shunt Voltage register exceeds the value in the Alert Limit register.
The Conversion Ready state of the device can also be monitored at the Alert pin to inform the user when
the device has completed the previous conversion and is ready to begin a new conversion. Conversion Ready
can be monitored at the Alert pin along with one of the alert functions. If an alert function and the Conversion
Ready are both enabled to be monitored at the Alert pin, after the Alert pin is asserted, the Mask/Enable register
must be read following the alert to determine the source of the alert. By reading the Conversion Ready Flag
(CVRF, bit 3), and the Alert Function Flag (AFF, bit 4) in the Mask/Enable register, the source of the alert can
be determined. If the Conversion Ready feature is not desired and the CNVR bit is not set, the Alert pin only
responds to an exceeded alert limit based on the alert function enabled.
If the alert function is not used, the Alert pin can be left floating without impacting the operation of the device.
Refer to Figure 8-1 to see the relative timing of when the value in the Alert Limit register is compared to the
corresponding converted value. For example, if the alert function that is enabled is Shunt Voltage Over-Limit
(SOL), following every shunt voltage conversion the value in the Alert Limit register is compared to the measured
shunt voltage to determine if the measurements has exceeded the programmed limit. The AFF, bit 4 of the

Mask/Enable register, asserts high any time the measured voltage exceeds the value programmed into the Alert
Limit register. In addition to the AFF being asserted, the Alert pin is asserted based on the Alert Polarity Bit
(APOL, bit 1 of the Mask/Enable register). If the Alert Latch is enabled, the AFF and Alert pin remain asserted
until either the Configuration register (00h) is written to or the Mask/Enable register is read.
The Bus Voltage alert functions compare the measured bus voltage to the Alert Limit register following every bus
voltage conversion and assert the AFF bit and Alert pin if the limit threshold is exceeded.
The Power Over-Limit alert function is also compared to the calculated power value following every bus voltage
measurement conversion and asserts the AFF bit and Alert pin if the limit threshold is exceeded.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Averaging and Conversion Time Considerations
The INA230 device offers programmable conversion times (tCT) for both the shunt voltage and bus voltage
measurements. The conversion times for these measurements can be selected from as fast as 140 μs to as
long as 8.244 ms. The conversion time settings, along with the programmable averaging mode, allow the device
to be configured to optimize the available timing requirements in a given application. For example, if a system
requires that data be read every 5 ms, the device could be configured with the conversion times set to 588 μs
for both shunt and bus voltage measurements and the averaging mode set to 4. This configuration results in the
data updating approximately every 4.7 ms. The device could also be configured with a different conversion time
setting for the shunt and bus voltage measurements. This type of approach is common in applications where
the bus voltage tends to be relatively stable. This situation can allow for the time focused on the bus voltage
measurement to be reduced relative to the shunt voltage measurement. The shunt voltage conversion time could
be set to 4.156 ms with the bus voltage conversion time set to 588 μs, with the averaging mode set to 1. This
configuration also results in data updating approximately every 4.7 ms.
There are trade-offs associated with the settings for conversion time and the averaging mode used. The
averaging feature can significantly improve the measurement accuracy by effectively filtering the signal. This
approach allows the device to reduce any noise in the measurement that may be caused by noise coupling
into the signal. A greater number of averages enables the device to be more effective in reducing the noise
component of the measurement.
The conversion times selected can also have an impact on the measurement accuracy. Figure 8-2 shows
multiple conversion times to illustrate the impact of noise on the measurement. To achieve the highest accuracy
measurement possible, use a combination of the longest allowable conversion times and highest number of
averages based on the timing requirements of the system.

8.4.2 Filtering and Input Considerations
Measuring current is often noisy, and such noise can be difficult to define. The INA230 device offers several
options for filtering by allowing the conversion times and number of averages to be selected independently in
the Configuration register (00h). The conversion times can be set independently for the shunt voltage and bus
voltage measurements to allow added flexibility in configuring the monitoring of the power-supply bus.
The internal ADC is based on a delta-sigma (ΔΣ) front-end with a 500 kHz (±30%) typical sampling rate. This
architecture has good inherent noise rejection; however, transients that occur at or very close to the sampling
rate harmonics can cause problems. Because these signals are at 1 MHz and higher, they can be managed
by incorporating filtering at the input of the device. The high frequency enables the use of low-value series
resistors on the filter with negligible effects on measurement accuracy. In general, filtering the device input is
only necessary if there are transients at exact harmonics of the 500 kHz (±30%) sampling rate (greater than
1 MHz). Filter using the lowest possible series resistance (typically 10 Ω or less) and a ceramic capacitor.
Recommended values for this capacitor are between 0.1 μF and 1 μF. Figure 8-3 shows the device with a filter
added at the input.
Overload conditions are another consideration for the device inputs. The device inputs are specified to tolerate
40 V across the inputs. A large differential scenario might be a short to ground on the load side of the shunt.
This type of event can result in full power-supply voltage across the shunt (as long the power supply or energy
storage capacitors support it). Removing a short to ground can result in inductive kickbacks that could exceed
the 40-V differential and common-mode rating of the device. Inductive kickback voltages are best controlled by
Zener-type transient-absorbing devices (commonly called transzorbs) combined with sufficient energy storage
capacitance. See the TI Design Transient Robustness for Current Shunt Monitors (TIDU473) which describes a
high-side current shunt monitor used to measure the voltage developed across a current-sensing resistor when
current passes through it.
In applications that do not have large energy storage electrolytics on one or both sides of the shunt, an input
overstress condition may result from an excessive dV/dt of the voltage applied to the input. A hard physical
short is the most likely cause of this event, particularly in applications with no large electrolytics present. This
problem occurs because an excessive dV/dt can activate the ESD protection in the device in systems where
large currents are available. Testing demonstrates that the addition of 10-Ω resistors in series with each input of
the device sufficiently protects the inputs against this dV/dt failure up to the 40-V rating of the device. Selecting
these resistors in the range noted has minimal effect on accuracy.

8.5 Programming
An important aspect of the INA230 is that it does not necessarily measure current or power. The INA230
measures both the differential voltage applied between the IN+ and IN– input pins and the voltage applied to
the BUS pin. For the INA230 to report both current and power values, both the Current register resolution and
the value of the shunt resistor present in the application that resulted in the differential voltage being developed
must be programmed. The Power register is internally set to be 25 times the programmed least significant bit of
the current register (Current_LSB). Both the Current_LSB and shunt resistor value are used when calculating the
Calibration register value. The INA230 uses this value to calculate the corresponding current and power values
based on the measured shunt and bus voltages.
The Calibration register is calculated based on Equation 1. This equation includes the term Current_LSB, the
programmed value for the LSB for the Current register. This is the value used to convert the value in the Current
register to the actual current in amps. The highest resolution for the Current register can be obtained by using
the smallest allowable Current_LSB based on the maximum expected current, as shown in Equation 2. While
this value yields the highest resolution, it is common to select a value for the Current_LSB to the nearest round
number above this value to simplify the conversion of the Current register and Power register to amps and watts
respectively. RSHUNT is the value of the external shunt used to develop the differential voltage across the input
pins. The 0.00512 value in Equation 1 is an internal fixed value used to ensure scaling is maintained properly.

(2)
After the Calibration register has been programmed, the Current register and Power register are updated
accordingly based on the corresponding shunt voltage and bus voltage measurements. Until the Calibration
register is programmed, the Current and Power registers remain at zero.
8.5.1 Programming the Calibration Register
Figure 9-1 shows a nominal 10-A load that creates a differential voltage of 20 mV across a 2-mΩ shunt resistor.
The bus voltage for the INA230 is measured at the external VBUS input pin, which in this example is connected
to the IN– pin to measure the voltage level delivered to the load. For this example, the VBUS pin measures less
than 12 V because the voltage at the IN– pin is 11.98 V as a result of the voltage drop across the shunt resistor.
For this example, assuming a maximum expected current of 15 A, the Current_LSB is calculated to be 457.7
μA/bit using Equation 2. Using a value for the Current_LSB of 500 μA/bit or 1 mA/bit would significantly simplify
the conversion from the Current register (04h) and Power register (03h) to amperes and watts. For this example,
a value of 1 mA/bit was chosen for the Current_LSB. Using this value for the Current_LSB does trade a small
amount of resolution for having a simpler conversion process on the user side. Using Equation 1 in this example
with a Current_LSB value of 1 mA/bit and a shunt resistor of 2 mΩ results in a Calibration register value of 2560,
or A00h.
The Current register (04h) is then calculated by multiplying the decimal value of the Shunt Voltage register (01h)
contents by the decimal value of the Calibration register and then dividing by 2048, as shown in Equation 3.
For this example, the Shunt Voltage register contains a value of 8,000 (representing 20 mV), which is multiplied
by the Calibration register value of 2560 and then divided by 2048 to yield a decimal value for the Current
register (04h) of 10000, or 2710h. Multiplying this value by 1 mA/bit results in the original 10-A level stated in the
example.

The LSB for the Bus Voltage register (02h) is a fixed 1.25 mV/bit, which means that the 11.98 V present at the
VBUS pin results in a register value of 2570h, or a decimal equivalent of 9584. Note that the MSB of the Bus
Voltage register (02h) is always zero because the VBUS pin is only able to measure positive voltages.
The Power register (03h) is then calculated by multiplying the decimal value of the Current register, 10000, by
the decimal value of the Bus Voltage register (02h), 9584, and then dividing by 20,000, as defined in Equation
4. For this example, the result for the Power register (03h) is 12B8h, or a decimal equivalent of 4792. Multiplying
this result by the power LSB (25 times the [1 × 10–3 Current_LSB]) results in a power calculation of (4792
× 25 mW/bit), or 119.82 W. The power LSB has a fixed ratio to the Current_LSB of 25. For this example, a
programmed 1 mA/bit Current_LSB results in a power LSB of 25 mW/bit. This ratio is internally programmed
to ensure that the scaling of the power calculation is within an acceptable range. A manual calculation for the
power being delivered to the load would use a bus voltage of 11.98 V (12 VCM – 20 mV shunt drop) multiplied by
the load current of 10 A to give a result of 119.8 W.

8.5.2 Programming the INA230 Power Measurement Engine
8.5.2.1 Calibration Register and Scaling
The Calibration register makes it possible to set the scaling of the Current and Power registers to the values that
are most useful for a given application. One strategy may be to set the Calibration register so that the largest
possible number is generated in the Current register or Power register at the expected full-scale point. This
approach yields the highest resolution based on the previously calculated minimum Current_LSB in the equation
for the Calibration register (Equation 1). The Calibration register can also be selected to provide values in the
Current and Power registers that either provide direct decimal equivalents of the values being measured, or
yield a round LSB value for each corresponding register. After these choices have been made, the Calibration
register also offers possibilities for end-user, system-level calibration. By physically measuring the current with
an external ammeter, the exact current is known. The value of the Calibration register can then be adjusted
based on the measured current result of the INA230 to cancel the total system error, as shown in Equation 5.

8.5.3 Simple Current Shunt Monitor Usage (No Programming Necessary)
The INA230 can be used without any programming if it is only necessary to read a shunt voltage drop and bus
voltage with the default power-on reset configuration and continuous conversion of shunt and bus voltage.
Without programming the INA230 Calibration register, the device is unable to provide either a valid current or
power value, because these outputs are both derived using the values loaded into the Calibration register.

8.5.4 Default INA230 Settings
The default power-up states of the registers are shown in the Register Maps section of this data sheet. These
registers are volatile, and if programmed to a value other than the default values shown in Table 8-3, they must
be reprogrammed at every device power up. Detailed information on programming the Calibration register is
given in the Programming section and calculated based on Equation 1.
8.5.5 Bus Overview
The INA230 offers compatibility with both I2C and SMBus interfaces. The I2C and SMBus protocols are
essentially compatible with one another.
The I2C interface is used throughout this data sheet as the primary example, with SMBus protocol specified only
when a difference between the two systems is discussed. Two bidirectional lines, SCL and SDA, connect the
INA230 to the bus. Both SCL and SDA are open-drain connections.
The device that initiates a data transfer is called a controller, and the devices controlled by the controller are
target devices. The bus must be controlled by a controller device that generates the serial clock (SCL), controls
the bus access, and generates start and stop conditions.
To address a specific device, the controller initiates a start condition by pulling the data signal line (SDA) from
a high to a low logic level while SCL is high. All target devices on the bus shift in the target address byte on
the rising edge of SCL, with the last bit indicating whether a read or write operation is intended. During the ninth
clock pulse, the target device being addressed responds to the controller by generating an Acknowledge bit
(ACK) and pulling SDA low.
Data transfer is then initiated and eight bits of data are sent, followed by an ACK. During data transfer, SDA must
remain stable while SCL is high. Any change in SDA while SCL is high is interpreted as a start or stop condition.
Once all data have been transferred, the controller generates a stop condition, indicated by pulling SDA from low
to high while SCL is high. The INA230 includes a 28-ms timeout on its interface to prevent locking up the bus.
8.5.5.1 Serial Bus Address
To communicate with the INA230, the controller must first address target devices using a corresponding target
address byte. The target address byte consists of seven address bits and a direction bit that indicates whether
the action is to be a read or write operation.
The INA230 has two address pins: A0 and A1. Table 8-2 describes the pin logic levels for each of the 16
possible addresses. The state of pins A0 and A1 is sampled on every bus communication and should be set
before any activity on the interface occurs.

8.5.5.2 Serial Interface
The INA230 operates only as a target device on both the I2C bus and the SMBus. Connections to the bus
are made through the open-drain I/O lines, SDA, and SCL. The SDA and SCL pins feature integrated spike-
suppression filters and Schmitt triggers to minimize the effects of input spikes and bus noise. Although there
is spike suppression integrated into the digital I/O lines, proper layout should be used to minimize the amount
of coupling into the communication lines. This noise introduction could occur from capacitively coupling signal
edges between the two communication lines themselves or from other switching noise sources present in the
system. Routing traces in parallel with ground in between layers on a printed circuit board (PCB) typically
reduces the effects of coupling between the communication lines. Shielding communication lines in general
is recommended to reduce to possibility of unintended noise coupling into the digital I/O lines that could be
incorrectly interpreted as start or stop commands.
The INA230 supports the transmission protocol for Fast (1 kHz to 400 kHz) and High-speed (1 kHz to 3.4 MHz)
modes. All data bytes are transmitted most significant byte first.
8.5.6 Writing to and Reading From the I2C Serial Interface
Accessing a specific register on the INA230 is accomplished by writing the appropriate value to the register
pointer. Refer to Register Maps for a complete list of registers and corresponding addresses. The value for the
register pointer (see Figure 8-7) is the first byte transferred after the target address byte with the R/W bit low.
Every write operation to the device requires a value for the register pointer.
Writing to a register begins with the first byte transmitted by the controller. This byte is the target address,
with the R/W bit low. The device then acknowledges receipt of a valid address. The next byte transmitted by
the controller is the address of the register to be accessed. This register address value updates the register
pointer to the desired internal device register. The next two bytes are written to the register addressed by the
register pointer. The device acknowledges receipt of each data byte. The controller may terminate data transfer
by generating a start or stop condition.
When reading from the device, the last value stored in the register pointer by a write operation determines which
register is read during a read operation. To change the register pointer for a read operation, a new value must
be written to the register pointer. This write is accomplished by issuing a target address byte with the R/W bit
low, followed by the register pointer byte. No additional data are required. The controller then generates a start
condition and sends the address byte for the target with the R/W bit high to initiate the read command. The next
byte is transmitted by the target and is the most significant byte of the register indicated by the register pointer.
This byte is followed by an Acknowledge from the controller, then the target transmits the least significant byte.
The controller may or may not acknowledge receipt of the second data byte. The controller may terminate data
transfer by generating a Not-Acknowledge after receiving any data byte, or generating a start or stop condition.
If repeated reads from the same register are desired, it is not necessary to continually send the register pointer
bytes; the device retains the register pointer value until it is changed by the next write operation.
Figure 8-4 shows the write operation timing diagram. Figure 8-5 shows the read operation timing diagram. These
diagrams are shown for reading/writing to 16-bit registers.

Figure 8-7. Typical Register Pointer Set
8.5.6.1 High-Speed I2C Mode
When the bus is idle, both the SDA and SCL lines are pulled high by the pullup devices. The controller generates
a start condition followed by a valid serial byte containing High-Speed (HS) controller code 00001XXX. This
transmission is made in fast (400 kHz) or standard (100 kHz) (F/S) mode at no more than 400 kHz. The INA230
does not acknowledge the HS controller code, but does recognize it and switches its internal filters to support
3.4-MHz operation.
The controller then generates a repeated start condition (a repeated start condition has the same timing as
the start condition). After this repeated start condition, the protocol is the same as F/S mode, except that
transmission speeds up to 3.4 MHz are allowed. Instead of using a stop condition, repeated start conditions
should be used to secure the bus in HS-mode. A stop condition ends the HS mode and switches all the internal
filters of the INA230 to support the F/S mode.
8.5.7 SMBus Alert Response
The INA230 is designed to respond to the SMBus alert response address. The SMBus alert response provides
a quick fault identification for simple target devices. When an alert occurs, the controller can broadcast the
alert response target address (0001 100) with the Read/Write bit set high. Following this alert response, any
target devices that generated an alert identify themselves by acknowledging the alert response and sending their
respective address on the bus.
The alert response can activate several different target devices simultaneously, similar to the I2C general call. If
more than one target attempts to respond, bus arbitration rules apply. The losing device does not generate an
acknowledge and continues to hold the ALERT line low until the interrupt is cleared.
8.6 Register Maps
The INA230 uses a bank of registers for holding configuration settings, measurement results, minimum and
maximum limits, and status information. Table 8-3 summarizes the INA230 registers; refer to the Functional
Block Diagram for an illustration of the registers.
All 16-bit INA230 registers are two 8-bit bytes through the I2C interface.

The Configuration register settings control the operating modes for the INA230. This register controls the
conversion time settings for both the shunt and bus voltage measurements, as well as the averaging mode
used. The operating mode that controls which signals are selected to be measured is also programmed in the
Configuration register.
The Configuration register can be read from at any time without impacting or affecting the device settings or
a conversion in progress. Writing to the Configuration register halts any conversion in progress until the write
sequence is complete, resulting in the start of a new conversion based on the new contents of the Configuration
register. This feature prevents any uncertainty in the conditions used for the next completed conversion.

8.6.6 Data Output Register
8.6.6.1 Shunt Voltage Register (01h, Read-Only)
The Shunt Voltage register stores the current shunt voltage reading, VSHUNT. Negative numbers are represented
in twos complement format. Generate the twos complement of a negative number by complementing the
absolute value binary number and adding 1. Extend the sign, denoting a negative number by setting the MSB =
'1'.
Example: For a value of VSHUNT = –80 mV:
1. Take the absolute value: 80 mV
2. Translate this number to a whole decimal number (80 mV ÷ 2.5 µV) = 32000
3. Convert this number to binary = 111 1101 0000 0000
4. Complement the binary result = 000 0010 1111 1111
5. Add '1' to the complement to create the twos complement result = 000 0011 0000 0000
6. Extend the sign and create the 16-bit word: 1000 0011 0000 0000 = 8300h
If averaging is enabled, this register displays the averaged value. Full-scale range = 81.9175 mV (decimal =
7FFF); LSB: 2.5 μV.

9 Application and Implementation
Note
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification,
and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for
determining suitability of components for their purposes, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
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.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The Alert pin can be configured to respond to one of the five alert functions described in the Alert Pin section.
The alert pin must to be pulled up to the VS pin voltage through the pullup resistors. The configuration register
is set based on the required conversion time and averaging. The Mask/Enable register is set to identify the
required alert function and the Alert Limit register is set to the limit value used for comparison.
For this example the desired over current trip point is when the load current exceeds 40 A. To detect the
over current condition the Mask/Enable register must to be configured to detect a shunt voltage over voltage
condition. With a shunt resistor value of 2 mΩ the corresponding shunt voltage threshold is calculated to be 80
mV (2 mΩ × 40 A). Values for the Mask/Enable register and Alert Limit registers are shown in Section 9.2.1.3.
9.2.1.3 Application Curves
Figure 9-2 shows the Alert pin response to a shunt voltage over-limit of 80 mV for a conversion time (tCT) of
1.1 ms and averaging set to 1. Figure 9-3 shows the response for the same limit but with the conversion time
reduced to 140 µs.

SBOS601A – FEBRUARY 2012 – REVISED DECEMBER 2021
10 Power Supply Recommendations
The input circuitry of the device can accurately measure signals on common-mode voltages beyond its power
supply voltage, VS. For example, the voltage applied to the VS pin can be 5 V, whereas the load power-supply
voltage being monitored (the common-mode voltage) can be as high as 36 V. Note also that the device can
withstand the full 0-V to 36-V range at the input terminals, regardless of whether the device has power applied or
not.
Place the required power-supply bypass capacitors as close to the supply and ground terminals of the device as
possible to ensure stability. A typical value for this supply bypass capacitor is 0.1 μF. Applications with noisy or
high-impedance power supplies may require additional decoupling capacitors to reject power-supply noise.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Connect the input pins (IN+ and IN–) to the sensing resistor using a Kelvin connection or a 4-wire connection.
These connection techniques ensure that only the current-sensing resistor impedance is detected between
the input pins. Poor routing of the current-sensing resistor commonly results in additional resistance present
between the input pins. Given the very low ohmic value of the current-sensing resistor, any additional high-
current carrying impedance causes significant measurement errors. Place the power-supply bypass capacitor as
close to the supply and ground pins as possible.
