## Description

The Adafruit INA238 is a precision DC power monitor capable of measuring current, voltage, and power on either the high or low side of your circuit. With support for up to +85V DC common-mode voltage and a 16-bit ADC, it delivers accurate measurements from microamps to 10A — all over a simple I2C interface. Featuring an integrated 15 mΩ (0.015Ω) 0.1% shunt resistor, configurable gain, oversampling, and alert thresholds, this breakout replaces two multimeters with a single chip. It works with 3.3V or 5V logic and includes STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors for solderless I2C wiring. Key Features Up to +85V DC – High or low-side current measurement with wide common-mode voltage range Two Current Ranges – Up to 10A (~0.15 mA/LSB) or 2.75A (~42 µA/LSB) continuous 16-bit ADC – Precision current, voltage, and automatic power calculation 15 mΩ Integrated Shunt – 0.1% precision shunt resistor with 0.1% gain error and ±5 µV max offset I2C Interface – Configurable alerts, oversampling, and gain; up to 4 sensors per bus STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connectors – Solderless I2C connection with daisy-chain support 3.3V & 5V Compatible – Works with Arduino, CircuitPython, Raspberry Pi, and more High or Low-Side Wiring – Jumper on back allows configuration for either measurement topology INA238 vs INA237 vs INA228 INA238: 16-bit, 0.1% gain error, ±5 µV max offset — code-compatible with INA237 at higher precision INA237: 16-bit, 0.3% gain error, ±50 µV max offset — lower cost alternative INA228: 20-bit (10 µA / 2.5 µA LSB), 0.05% gain error, ±1 µV offset, plus energy/charge measurement Ideal For Battery and solar panel power monitoring High-voltage DC system current profiling (up to 85V) Embedded power consumption analysis and optimisation Projects requiring both high-side voltage and current measurement Package Contents 1× Adafruit INA238 Power Monitor Breakout (assembled) 1× 3.5 mm Terminal Block 1× Header Strip Warning: Not for use with AC voltages. DC only, up to +85V. Resources Adafruit INA238 Guide Arduino INA237/INA238 Library (GitHub) STEMMA QT Overview
