Product Overview

The INA260 is a Texas Instruments Signal_Chain sensor for digital current and power monitoring. It combines current sensing with an integrated 2 mΩ shunt resistor and a 16-bit ADC, providing current, bus voltage, and power register outputs with 1.25 mA, 1.25 mV, and 10 mW LSB step sizes respectively.

The device operates from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply and measures bus voltages from 0 V to 36 V. Current measurement supports an integrated shunt maximum continuous current of ±15 A from -40°C to +85°C, with current sense gain error specified as 0.02% typical and 0.15% maximum at 25°C across -15 A to +15 A.

The package is a 16-pin TSSOP (PW) with a 5.00 mm x 4.40 mm nominal body. Assembly and thermal-related facts include 115.6°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, ±0.1% typical resistance change to 260°C solder heat for 10 s, and storage from -65°C to +150°C. Interface functions include SDA, SCL, VBUS, A0/A1 address pins, and an open-drain ALERT pin.
