SBOS790A April 2017 – March 2025 INA233
PRODUCTION DATA
The INA233 operates only as a target device on both the I2C bus and the SMBus. Connections to the bus are made via the open-drain SDA and SCL lines. The SDA and SCL pins feature integrated spike-suppression filters and Schmitt triggers to minimize the effects of input spikes and bus noise. Although the device integrates spike suppression into the digital I/O lines, proper layout techniques help minimize the amount of coupling into the communication lines. This noise introduction can occur from capacitively coupling signal edges between the two communication lines themselves or from other switching noise sources present in the system. Routing traces in parallel with ground in between layers on a printed circuit board (PCB) typically reduces the effects of coupling between the communication lines. Shielded communication lines reduce the possibility of unintended noise coupling into the digital I/O lines that can be incorrectly interpreted as START or STOP commands.
