4.4.2 Config Tab

The Config tab has the following controls:

  • Shunt voltage attenuator range (smallest range: 40 mV; largest range: 320 mV)
  • Shunt voltage configuration: resolution and number of averages. Note that increasing the number of averages decreases the noise but slows down the conversion rate.
  • Bus voltage attenuator range (16 V and 32 V): Note that the maximum bus voltage for the INA219 is 26 V. Thus, the 32-V range cannot be fully used.
  • Bus voltage configuration: Resolution and number of averages. Note that increasing the number of averages decreases noise but slows down the conversion rate.
  • A/D converter mode: This control determines how the converters work. The most commonly used modes are Shunt and Bus continuous conversion mode. This mode causes both converters to run continuously.

More details on these options are explained in the product data sheet.
