SBOS776C March 2016 – March 2021 INA3221-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The INA3221-Q1 only operates as a slave device on the I2C bus and SMBus. Bus connections are made using 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. While there is spike suppression integrated into the digital I/O lines, use proper layout to minimize the amount of coupling into the communication lines. Noise introduction occurs 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 between layers on a printed circuit board (PCB) typically reduces the effects of coupling between the communication lines. Shield communication lines to reduce the possibility of unintended noise coupling into the digital I/O lines that could be incorrectly interpreted as start or stop commands.
The INA3221-Q1 supports a transmission protocol for Fast (1 kHz to 400 kHz) and High-speed (1 kHz to 2.44 MHz) modes. All data bytes are transmitted MSB first.
