Product details
Overview
INA180B3QDBVRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive current-sense amplifier for high- and low-side sensing, featuring 100 V/V fixed gain, –0.2 V to +26 V common-mode input range, ±500 µV max offset at 12 V VCM, 2 V/µs slew rate, and 260 µA max quiescent current. It enables precise battery monitoring and motor control in 12 V/24 V automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the INA180B3QDBVRQ1 datasheet, INA180B3QDBVRQ1 pinout, INA180B3QDBVRQ1 application, or INA180B3QDBVRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include gain accuracy (±1% max), rail-to-rail output swing, functional safety documentation support, and SOT-23 pinout B compatibility with PCB layout constraints for space-constrained automotive modules.
Technical Context
The INA180B3QDBVRQ1 uses a precision current-sense topology with integrated matched resistor network for 100 V/V gain, enabling accurate measurement of shunt voltage drops independent of supply voltage (2.7–5.5 V). Its input stage supports common-mode voltages up to 26 V - exceeding VS - making it suitable for direct high-side bus monitoring without level-shifting.
It delivers 150 kHz small-signal bandwidth (A3 variant), 2 V/µs slew rate, and 1 µV/°C max offset drift across –40°C to +125°C. The device includes functional safety documentation support and meets HBM ±3 kV / CDM ±1 kV ESD ratings per AEC-Q100.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 100 V/V fixed - eliminates external gain-setting resistors and reduces layout sensitivity to parasitic capacitance. |
| Common-mode range | –0.2 V to +26 V - supports direct sensing on 12 V/24 V automotive buses, including cold-crank and load-dump transients. |
| Offset voltage | ±500 µV max at VCM = 12 V - ensures ≤5 mV error at 50 mV full-scale sense voltage, critical for low-current detection. |
| Bandwidth | 150 kHz - sufficient for PWM motor current reconstruction and fast overcurrent event capture in BLDC drives. |
| Slew rate | 2 V/µs - maintains fidelity during rapid current transients (e.g., short-circuit detection within <1 µs). |
| Quiescent current | 260 µA max - enables always-on battery monitoring without compromising vehicle off-current budgets. |
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard automotive LDO outputs and microcontroller I/O domains. |
Pinout & Package
INA180B3QDBVRQ1 is housed in a 5-pin SOT-23 (DBV) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm, optimized for high-density automotive PCB layouts and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN+ | Positive input - connects to bus-voltage side of shunt in high-side sensing; to load side in low-side sensing. |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - must be tied to system analog ground plane with low-inductance connection. |
| 3 | IN− | Negative input - connects to load side of shunt in high-side sensing; to ground side in low-side sensing. |
| 4 | OUT | Analog output - provides rail-to-rail voltage proportional to sensed current; drives ADC inputs directly. |
| 5 | VS | Power supply - accepts 2.7–5.5 V; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C operation with HBM ±3 kV / CDM ±1 kV ESD robustness - meets automotive reliability requirements. |
| Functional safety documentation | Includes FIT rate, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage guidance - accelerates ISO 26262 ASIL-B system certification. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Swings to within 30 mV of VS and 0.5 mV of GND - maximizes dynamic range for 12-bit ADC interfacing without external level-shifting. |
| Matched internal gain resistors | Minimizes gain error (±1% max) and temperature drift (≤20 ppm/°C) - eliminates calibration overhead in production test. |
| Low offset drift | 1 µV/°C max - ensures stable zero-current baseline across cabin temperature gradients, reducing software compensation complexity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A3QDRQ1 | Higher bandwidth (400 kHz), lower offset (±10 µV typ), but 1.7 mA IQ and 8-pin SOIC package. | Better suited for high-speed motor control where precision outweighs power budget; not drop-in due to pin count and footprint. | Select when >200 kHz bandwidth and <50 µV offset are required, and PCB area/power allow larger package and higher IQ. |
| MAX40056ATA+T | Wider common-mode (–5 V to +65 V), 200 V/V gain only, no AEC-Q100 qualification, 350 µA IQ. | Supports 48 V mild-hybrid systems but lacks automotive qualification and functional safety documentation. | Consider for non-safety-critical 48 V subsystems where extended voltage range is mandatory and AEC-Q100 is not required. |
Compared with INA180B3QDBVRQ1, INA240A3QDRQ1 offers superior dynamic performance at higher power and board area cost, while MAX40056ATA+T extends voltage range beyond 26 V but sacrifices automotive qualification and safety support - making INA180B3QDBVRQ1 optimal for cost-sensitive, AEC-Q100-compliant 12 V/24 V applications requiring balanced accuracy, speed, and efficiency.

FAQ
What is the exact gain setting of INA180B3QDBVRQ1?
The INA180B3QDBVRQ1 has a fixed gain of 100 V/V, as indicated by the "B3" suffix in its part number (B = Pinout B, 3 = 100 V/V). This gain is implemented using an internal matched resistor network, eliminating external components and minimizing temperature-induced gain drift to ≤20 ppm/°C.
Does INA180B3QDBVRQ1 support high-side sensing at 24 V battery systems?
Yes, INA180B3QDBVRQ1 supports high-side sensing with a common-mode input range of –0.2 V to +26 V, fully covering 12 V and 24 V automotive battery rails including load-dump transients. Its input stage operates independently of the 2.7–5.5 V supply voltage, enabling direct connection to the battery bus.
What is the maximum operating temperature for INA180B3QDBVRQ1?
INA180B3QDBVRQ1 is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, specifying continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Thermal metrics (RθJA = 197.1°C/W) confirm reliable performance in under-hood environments when mounted on standard 2-layer FR4 with adequate copper pour.
How does the pinout of INA180B3QDBVRQ1 differ from INA180A3QDBVRQ1?
INA180B3QDBVRQ1 uses Pinout B (IN+ on pin 1, GND on pin 2, IN− on pin 3, OUT on pin 4, VS on pin 5), whereas INA180A3QDBVRQ1 uses Pinout A (OUT on pin 1, GND on pin 2, IN+ on pin 3, IN− on pin 4, VS on pin 5). PCB layout must match the correct pinout - mixing them causes functional failure.
Is functional safety documentation available for INA180B3QDBVRQ1?
Yes, Texas Instruments provides functional safety documentation for INA180B3QDBVRQ1, including FIT rate data, failure mode effects analysis (FMEA), and diagnostic coverage guidance - all intended to support ISO 26262 ASIL-B system-level safety certification in automotive applications.
