Current shunt monitor is 'industry's most accurate'

Texas Instruments has introduced what it claims is the industry's most accurate current shunt monitor.

With a maximum offset voltage of 10uV and a maximum gain error of 0.1%, the INA226 is said to be 10x more accurate than leading competitors. The device is a complete 16bit, single chip solution, and provides fully programmable measurements for current, voltage and power across a digital I2C interface. It is designed for devices such as servers, telecom equipment, computers, power management devices and testing equipment, where accurate power measurements are crucial.
