Continuous Verses Triggered Operation

The internal ADC has two operating modes, continuous and triggered, that determine how the ADC operates following shunt voltage and bus voltage conversions. When the device is in normal operating mode, the INA233 continuously converts a shunt voltage reading followed by a bus voltage reading. After the shunt voltage reading, the current value is calculated. This current value is then used to calculate the power result. These values are subsequently stored in an accumulator, and the measurement and calculation sequence repeats until the number of averages set in the MFR_ADC_CONFIG register is reached. Following every sequence, the present set of values measured and calculated are appended to previously collected values. After all averaging completes, the final values for the shunt voltage, bus voltage, current, and power are updated in the corresponding registers that can then be read.

The MFR_ADC_CONFIG command allows for selecting modes that only convert the shunt voltage or the bus voltage to further allow the monitoring function to be configured to better fit the specific application requirements. This command also allows the device to be configured in continuous-versus-triggered operation. In triggered mode, writing any of the triggered convert modes into the MFR_ADC_CONFIG register triggers a single-shot conversion. This action produces a single set of measurements; thus, to trigger another single-shot conversion, the MFR_ADC_CONFIG register must be written to a second time, even if the mode does not change.
