The A version is ±1% total max current measurement error over the entire temp range (±0.5% max at 25*C) and the B version is ±0.5% total max current measurement error over the entire temp range (±0.3% max at 25*C). Overall functionality is otherwise the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany current-measuring devices are only good for \u003cem\u003elow side\u003c\/em\u003e measuring. That means that unless you want to get a battery involved, you have to stick the measurement resistor between the target ground and true ground. This can cause problems with circuits since electronics tend to not like it when the ground references change and move with varying current draw. This chip is much smarter - it can handle high side current measuring, up to +26VDC, even though it is powered with 3.3V. It will also report back that high side voltage, which is great for tracking battery life or solar panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA precision amplifier measures the voltage across the 0.1 ohm, 1% sense resistor. Since the amplifier maximum input difference is ±320mV this means it can measure up to ±3.2 Amps. With the internal 12 bit ADC, the resolution at ±3.2A range is 0.8mA. With the internal gain set at the minimum of div-8, the max current is ±400mA and the resolution is 0.1mA. Advanced hackers can remove the 0.1 ohm current sense resistor and replace it with their own to change the range (say a 0.01 ohm to measure up 32 Amps with a resolution of 8mA)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-ina219-current-sensor-breakout\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAdafruit have a detailed tutorial for the INA219 that will do all the gain, range and math for you - just plug and go with Arduino or CircuitPython!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevision History:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e As of October 2022, due to the severe chip shortage, Adafruit have had to update this design to use \u003cstrong\u003eeither the INA219A or INA219B and in SOT-23 or SOIC package\u003c\/strong\u003e - whatever they are able to get on the market!
