Calibration Example 2 (Overflow Possible) software. Note that the same numbers used in the
nine-step example are used in the software example
This design example uses the nine-step procedure for
in Figure 22. Also note that Figure 22 illustrates which
calibrating the INA219 where overflow is possible.
results correspond to which step (for example, the
Figure 22 illustrates how the same procedure is

and labeled).
1. Establish the following parameters:
V
BUS_MAX
= 32
V
SHUNT_MAX
= 0.32
R
SHUNT
= 5
2. Determine the maximum possible current using Equation 10:
(10)
3. Choose the desired maximum current value: Max_Expected_I, ≤ MaxPossible_I. This value is selected
based on system expectations.
Max_Expected_I = 0.06
4. Calculate the possible range of current LSBs. This calculation is done by first computing a range of LSB's
that is appropriate for the design. Next, select an LSB withing this range. Note that the results will have the
most resolution when the minimum LSB is selected. Typically, an LSB is selected to be the nearest round
number to the minimum LSB.

Choose an LSB in the range: Minimum_LSB<Selected_LSB<Maximum_LSB
Current_LSB = 1.9 × 10
–6
Note:
This value was selected to be a round number near the Minimum_LSB. This section allows for good
resolution with a rounded LSB.
5. Compute the calibration register using Equation 13:
(13)
6. Calculate the Power LSB using Equation 14. Equation 14 shows a general formula; because the bus voltage
measurement LSB is always 4mV, the power formula reduces to calculate the result.
