Product details
Overview
INA202AIDR from Texas Instruments is a high-side current-shunt monitor IC with integrated open-drain comparator and 0.6-V internal reference, designed for overcurrent detection in power rails up to 80 V common-mode voltage. It provides 100 V/V gain, 200 kHz bandwidth, ±3.5% total output error over –40°C to +125°C, and operates from 2.7 V to 18 V supply. Used in telecom power supplies for real-time load current monitoring and fault flagging.
For engineers reviewing the INA202AIDR datasheet, INA202AIDR pinout, INA202AIDR application, or INA202AIDR equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, validated SOIC-8 package mapping, confirmed comparator latching behavior, exact gain/accuracy specs per TI SBOS374E, and two field-validated alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The INA202AIDR implements a precision current-sense amplifier with fixed 100 V/V gain and an independent open-drain comparator referenced to a trimmed 0.6-V internal threshold. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages from –16 V to +80 V, enabling direct high-side sensing in battery-powered and industrial DC systems without level-shifting circuitry.
The comparator features latching operation controlled by the RESET pin (active-low, internal 2 MΩ pull-down), and its trip point is set externally via resistor dividers on CMPIN. The device draws ≤1800 μA quiescent current and maintains 590–625 mV threshold accuracy across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 100 V/V - scales shunt voltage drop linearly to full-scale output at 100 mV input (e.g., 100 mV across shunt → 10 V out at VS = 12 V) |
| Common-mode range | –16 V to +80 V - enables direct sensing on positive- or negative-rail high-side configurations, including automotive battery and telecom -48 V systems |
| Total output error | ±3.5% max over –40°C to +125°C - includes gain error, offset drift, and PSR effects; defines worst-case current measurement uncertainty |
| Comparator threshold | 590–625 mV over temperature - precise internal 0.6-V reference sets trip point; external divider on CMPIN adjusts actual current threshold |
| Bandwidth | 200 kHz - supports fast transient overcurrent detection (e.g., short-circuit response within ~5 μs rise time) |
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 18 V - compatible with single-supply industrial logic and wide-input DC-DC converters |
| Quiescent current | ≤1800 μA - enables low-power always-on monitoring in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
Pinout & Package
INA202AIDR is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), body size 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, with standard surface-mount footprint and thermal resistance θJA = 110.5°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN+ | Analog input | Connects to high side of current-sense shunt; withstands up to +80 V common-mode voltage |
| VIN− | Analog input | Connects to low side of shunt; forms differential sense pair with VIN+; Kelvin connection recommended |
| OUT | Analog output | Voltage-output current sense signal (G × VSENSE); rail-to-rail swing capability (to GND + 4 mV / to VS − 0.25 V) |
| GND | Analog ground | Reference node for internal amplifier and comparator; must be tied to system analog ground plane |
| RESET | Digital input | Active-low comparator latch control; open or grounded for transparent mode; internal 2 MΩ pull-down ensures defined startup state |
| CMPOUT | Open-drain output | Comparator flag output; requires external pull-up (to 2.7–18 V); sinks ≥2.35 mA at VOL ≤300 mV |
| CMPIN | Analog input | Comparator non-inverting input; accepts divided shunt voltage to set precise overcurrent trip threshold |
| VS | Power supply | Single 2.7–18 V analog supply; powers both amplifier and comparator; bypass capacitor required at pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 0.6-V reference | Eliminates external reference IC or precision resistor network; enables stable trip-point setting across temperature (±15 mV variation) |
| Latching comparator | Retains fault state until explicit RESET assertion; prevents nuisance tripping during transient overloads in motor or hot-swap applications |
| High common-mode rejection | 123 dB CMR at 12–80 V common-mode - rejects noise from noisy power rails, critical for accurate sensing in switch-mode supplies |
| Wide supply range | 2.7–18 V operation - supports direct interface with 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V logic domains without level shifters |
| Extended temperature grade | –40°C to +125°C specified performance - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial PLC, and telecom base station use |
Applications
| Telecom Power Supply Monitoring | Battery Management System (BMS) Cell Balancing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side current monitoring applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA219AIDR | 26 V max common-mode, I²C digital output, 0.1% gain accuracy, no integrated comparator | Requires MCU for threshold evaluation; unsuitable for standalone hardware fault shutdown | Select when digital bus interface and higher DC accuracy are prioritized over autonomous fault response |
| MAX40056ASA+ | 100 V/V gain, 2.5 V internal reference, push-pull comparator output, 1.5 MHz bandwidth | Higher supply voltage (up to 36 V), faster response, but lacks –16 V reverse-voltage tolerance | Select for high-speed industrial inverters where reverse-battery operation is not required |
Compared with INA202AIDR, INA219AIDR trades autonomous comparator functionality for digital precision and bus integration, while MAX40056ASA+ offers higher speed and push-pull output at the cost of reverse-voltage capability-making INA202AIDR uniquely suited for automotive and telecom systems requiring robust, self-contained overcurrent protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage supported by the INA202AIDR?
The INA202AIDR supports a common-mode input voltage range of –16 V to +80 V, verified per TI SBOS374E Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions. This allows direct high-side sensing on 48 V telecom systems, 12 V automotive batteries (including cold-crank and load-dump), and negative-rail industrial supplies. Operation beyond these limits risks permanent damage.
Does the INA202AIDR require external components to operate as a complete current monitor?
Yes-the INA202AIDR requires an external current-sense shunt resistor, a 0.1 µF bypass capacitor on VS, and a pull-up resistor on CMPOUT (typically 4.7 kΩ to VS). To set overcurrent threshold, a resistor divider from OUT to GND is connected to CMPIN. No external reference or op-amp is needed due to its integrated 0.6-V reference and amplifier.
How does the RESET pin function on the INA202AIDR?
The RESET pin on the INA202AIDR is an active-low digital input controlling comparator latching behavior. When held low or left floating (due to internal 2 MΩ pull-down), the comparator operates in transparent mode. When driven high, it resets the latched fault state. TI specifies minimum pulse width of 1.5 µs and propagation delay of 3 µs, confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table 6.6.
What is the gain accuracy of the INA202AIDR over temperature?
The INA202AIDR has a gain error of ±2% over –40°C to +125°C, and total output error of ±3.5% under same conditions (per SBOS374E Section 6.5). This includes contributions from gain error, offset voltage drift (±3.5 mV), and power-supply rejection (2.5–100 μV/V). Accuracy is specified at VSENSE ≥20 mV and VCM = 12 V.
Can the INA202AIDR be used in bidirectional current sensing applications?
Yes-the INA202AIDR supports bidirectional sensing when configured with appropriate external circuitry. Figure 30 in SBOS374E shows a dual-resistor divider network on CMPIN that sets independent trip thresholds for positive and negative current flow. The device's –16 V to +80 V common-mode range enables sensing across ground-referenced or floating shunts in H-bridge or battery charge/discharge paths.
