• Calibration: To ensure accurate measurements, the device allows for a programmable calibration value. This calibration value can be adjusted to compensate for any variations or inaccuracies in the system. By calibrating the device, you can achieve precise current measurements that align with the actual current values.
• Internal Multiplier: The INA226AQDGSRQ1 includes an internal multiplier that enhances measurement resolution. This internal multiplier enables more precise readings of current, allowing for finer measurement granularity.
• I2CTM or SMBUS-Compatible Interface: The device features an I2CTM- or SMBUS-compatible interface, enabling easy communication with microcontrollers and other digital systems. This interface allows you to retrieve the measured current values and use them for various control, monitoring, or analysis purposes.
• Addressability: The INA226AQDGSRQ1 supports up to 16 programmable addresses on the I2C-compatible interface. This addressability feature allows for multiple devices to be integrated onto the same I2C bus, making it suitable for applications that require monitoring multiple current shunts.

By combining these elements, the INA226AQDGSRQ1 facilitates accurate current shunt monitoring.
