2 Applications

The INA226/INA228 can be used as a simple on-board device for added safety and protection, feedback control and system monitoring in applications such as battery management systems (BMS) in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and electric vehicles (EV), battery test equipment, motor current measurements in industrial drives and automotive applications, and so forth. It can help in monitoring/ measuring the following:

  • Total system current and power consumption
  • Battery charge-discharge current
  • Current/power consumed by the connected peripherals
  • Current/power consumed in different operating modes and use cases
  • Any unforeseen rise or fall in current/power consumption
  • Overcurrent protection/monitoring
