20-----------
21
22The INA219 is a high-side current shunt and power monitor with an I2C
23interface. The INA219 monitors both shunt drop and supply voltage, with
24programmable conversion times and filtering.
25
26The INA226 is a current shunt and power monitor with an I2C interface.
27The INA226 monitors both a shunt voltage drop and bus supply voltage.
