SBOS790A April 2017 – March 2025 INA233
PRODUCTION DATA
The INA233 supports packet error checking as described in the SMBus version 3.0 specification. Packet error checking is a method to improve the reliably and communication robustness of the digital interface. Packet error checking is implemented by appending a packet error code (PEC) at the end of each message transfer. To maximize compatibly, devices that support packet error checking must be able to communicate with the host and other devices that do not support the error checking protocol. Therefore, packet error checking can help improve the communication robustness when desired but is optional when not supported by the controller or other devices on the bus. See the SMBus version 3.0 specification for additional details on implementing packet error checking in an SMBus environment.
