The INA226 Voltage, Current & Power Monitoring Module is a compact digital power-monitoring solution designed to measure the electrical parameters of a DC-powered circuit. Using the INA226 current and power monitor IC, the module can measure bus voltage and current and calculate the corresponding power consumption.
The module communicates with a microcontroller through the I²C interface, allowing measurement data to be read digitally without requiring a separate external ADC. This makes it convenient for monitoring the power consumption of electronic circuits, battery-powered systems, and embedded devices.
The INA226 measures current by sensing the voltage across an external shunt resistor. The measured shunt voltage and bus voltage can then be used to determine current and power. This architecture makes the module useful for applications where real-time monitoring of electrical consumption is required.
It can be integrated with development platforms such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, STM32, and other I²C-compatible controllers. Multiple INA226 devices can also be used in systems requiring monitoring at different points, depending on the module's address configuration.
The module is suitable for battery monitoring, USB and DC power monitoring, solar-energy projects, robotics, IoT devices, portable electronics, and laboratory power-monitoring applications.
