8.2.2.1 Design Requirements

The parallel connection for multiple INA250 devices can be used to reduce the equivalent overall sense resistance, enabling monitoring of higher current levels than a single device is able to accommodate alone. This configuration also uses a summing arrangement, as described in the Current Summing section. A parallel summing configuration is shown in Figure 8-3.
