58Description
59-----------
60
61The INA219 is a high-side current shunt and power monitor with an I2C
62interface. The INA219 monitors both shunt drop and supply voltage, with
63programmable conversion times and filtering.
64
65The INA220 is a high or low side current shunt and power monitor with an I2C
66interface. The INA220 monitors both shunt drop and supply voltage.
67
68The INA226 is a current shunt and power monitor with an I2C interface.
69The INA226 monitors both a shunt voltage drop and bus supply voltage.
70
71INA230 and INA231 are high or low side current shunt and power monitors
72with an I2C interface. The chips monitor both a shunt voltage drop and
73bus supply voltage.
74
75The shunt value in micro-ohms can be set via platform data or device tree at
76compile-time or via the shunt_resistor attribute in sysfs at run-time. Please
77refer to the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hwmon/ti,ina2xx.yaml for bindings
78if the device tree is used.
79
80Additionally ina226 supports update_interval attribute as described in
81Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.rst. Internally the interval is the sum of
82bus and shunt voltage conversion times multiplied by the averaging rate. We
83don't touch the conversion times and only modify the number of averages. The
84lower limit of the update_interval is 2 ms, the upper limit is 2253 ms.
85The actual programmed interval may vary from the desired value.

116.. note::
117
118   - Configure `shunt_resistor` before configure `power1_crit`, because power
119     value is calculated based on `shunt_resistor` set.
120   - Because of the underlying register implementation, only one `*crit` setting
121     and its `alarm` can be active. Writing to one `*crit` setting clears other
122     `*crit` settings and alarms. Writing 0 to any `*crit` setting clears all
123     `*crit` settings and alarms.
