INA238AQDGSRQ1

Texas Instruments · Current Sense Amplifiers · VSSOP-10-0.5mm

INA238AQDGSRQ1 from Texas Instruments, in a VSSOP-10-0.5mm. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A1 input I2C address pin; connect to GND, SCL, SDA, or VS to set the device address.
2 A0 input I2C address pin; connect to GND, SCL, SDA, or VS to set the device address.
3 ALERT output Open-drain alert output whose default state is active low, so it requires an external pull-up resistor.
4 SDA bidirectional Open-drain bidirectional I2C data line.
5 SCL input I2C clock input.
6 VS power_in Power supply input, specified for 2.7 V to 5.5 V operating supply range.
7 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
8 VBUS power_in Bus voltage input, rated for -0.3 V to 85 V (absolute maximum range).
9 IN- input Negative sense input; for high-side use connect to the load side of the sense resistor, for low-side use connect to the ground side of the sense resistor.
10 IN+ input Positive sense input; for high-side use connect to the power supply side of the sense resistor, for low-side use connect to the load side of the sense resistor.
