Product details
Overview
INA206AIDGSR from Texas Instruments is a unidirectional current-shunt monitor IC with 20 V/V gain, dual open-drain comparators (CMP1 latched, CMP2 delay-programmable), and integrated 1.2-V reference output. It operates from 2.7 V to 18 V, supports –16 V to 80 V common-mode input range, and delivers 500-kHz bandwidth for real-time shunt voltage monitoring in high-side or low-side configurations. Used in server power rail supervision and battery protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the INA206AIDGSR datasheet, INA206AIDGSR pinout, INA206AIDGSR application, or INA206AIDGSR equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, SO-14/TSSOP-14 package mapping, comparator timing behavior, gain accuracy over temperature, and design-meaningful alternatives for overcurrent detection systems requiring latch-and-delay response.
Technical Context
The INA206AIDGSR implements a precision current-sense amplifier with fixed 20× gain and rail-to-rail output swing (to within 150 mV of Vs), enabling accurate measurement of small shunt voltages (≥20 mV) across wide common-mode ranges. Its dual comparators operate independently: CMP1 features internal 0.6-V reference with latch/reset control via dedicated active-low pin, while CMP2 uses the same reference but adds user-configurable delay via external capacitor on CMP2 DELAY pin.
Both comparators exhibit 2-mV typical offset, 1.3-µs propagation delay, and hysteresis (±8 mV for CMP1, ±8 mV for CMP2). The 1.2-V reference output is available only on 14-pin packages (SOIC/TSSOP), with load regulation ≤2 mV/mA and drift ≤100 ppm/°C - supporting auxiliary biasing or threshold-setting functions without external references.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 20 V/V - scales 100-mV shunt drop to 2-V output, enabling direct ADC interface with 3.3-V systems |
| Common-mode range | –16 V to 80 V - supports high-side sensing in 48-V telecom or 12-V automotive battery monitoring |
| Bandwidth | 500 kHz - captures fast transient overcurrent events (e.g., short-circuit rise times <2 µs) |
| Quiescent current | 1.8 mA - enables always-on monitoring in energy-sensitive applications like notebook power management |
| Reference output | 1.2 V ±12 mV - stable bias source for external comparators or ADC reference, usable up to 1 mA load |
| Comparator delay | Programmable via CDELAY - 0.1 µF yields ~0.5 s delay, preventing false triggers from noise spikes |
| Accuracy | ±3.5% total error over –40°C to 125°C - meets industrial-grade current monitoring requirements without calibration |
Pinout & Package
INA206AIDGSR is packaged in SO-14 (8.65 mm × 3.91 mm) and TSSOP-14 (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) variants. Both share identical pinout and thermal characteristics (RθJA = 84.9°C/W for SOIC, 112.6°C/W for TSSOP).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VS) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7–18 V; powers all internal blocks including comparators and reference |
| 2 (OUT) | Current-sense amplifier output | Voltage output proportional to shunt voltage (VOUT = 20 × VSENSE); drives 10-kΩ loads |
| 3 (CMP1 IN– / 0.6V REF) | Comparator 1 negative input / reference tap | Internal 0.6-V reference accessible externally; overrides default reference when driven |
| 4 (CMP1 IN+) | Comparator 1 positive input | Monitors OUT or external signal; latched output requires active-low reset on Pin 8 |
| 5 (CMP2 IN–) | Comparator 2 negative input | Default threshold set by internal 0.6-V reference; override possible via Pin 6 |
| 6 (CMP2 IN+ / 0.6V REF) | Comparator 2 positive input / reference tap | Dual-use pin: accepts external threshold or provides 0.6-V reference for external circuitry |
| 7 (GND) | Analog ground | Return path for shunt, amplifier, and comparators; separate from digital ground in mixed-signal layouts |
| 8 (CMP1 RESET) | Active-low latch reset | Pulled low to clear CMP1 OUT; open or grounded for automatic reset at power-up |
| 9 (CMP2 DELAY) | Capacitor connection for delay timing | Connects to CDELAY; sets CMP2 response delay per tD = 5 × CDELAY (µF → seconds) |
| 10 (CMP2 OUT) | Comparator 2 open-drain output | Drives external pull-up; asserts low on overthreshold event; delay applies to both edges |
| 11 (CMP1 OUT) | Comparator 1 open-drain output | Latched low until reset; used for fault-hold signaling in safety-critical power systems |
| 12 (1.2V REF OUT) | 1.2-V reference output | Stable, buffered reference for external use; max 1 mA sink/source; not available on VSSOP-10 |
| 13 (VIN–) | Shunt low-side connection | Connects to shunt resistor ground side; handles –16 V to 80 V common-mode |
| 14 (VIN+) | Shunt high-side connection | Connects to shunt resistor load side; enables high-side current sensing in floating systems |

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA206AIDGSR can handle?
The INA206AIDGSR supports a common-mode input voltage range of –16 V to 80 V. This allows direct high-side sensing on 48-V telecom buses or negative-rail monitoring in industrial control systems. The specification is guaranteed across the full operating temperature range (–40°C to 125°C) and does not require external level-shifting circuitry. The INA206AIDGSR maintains accuracy and stability even at the extremes of this range, as confirmed in TI's SBOS360F datasheet Section 7.3.
Does the INA206AIDGSR require external components to operate its comparators?
The INA206AIDGSR includes internal 0.6-V references for both comparators and requires no external components for basic operation. However, Pins 3 and 6 allow overriding those references with external voltages, and Pin 9 (CMP2 DELAY) requires an external capacitor to enable programmable delay. Pull-up resistors on CMP1 OUT and CMP2 OUT are necessary for open-drain functionality but are not internal. All other comparator functions - latching, reset, and output drive - are fully integrated within the INA206AIDGSR.
Can the INA206AIDGSR be used in bidirectional current sensing applications?
No, the INA206AIDGSR is specified as a unidirectional current-shunt monitor. Its architecture assumes current flow from VIN+ to VIN–, and its output polarity is fixed (positive output for positive VSENSE). While it can tolerate negative common-mode voltages (down to –16 V), it does not support reverse-current detection or bipolar output swing. For bidirectional sensing, TI's INA226 or INA240 families - explicitly designed for bidirectional operation - are appropriate alternatives to the INA206AIDGSR.
What is the purpose of the 1.2V REF OUT pin on the INA206AIDGSR?
The 1.2V REF OUT pin (Pin 12) provides a buffered, low-drift (≤100 ppm/°C) voltage reference usable for external circuitry such as ADC references, comparator thresholds, or bias networks. It delivers up to 1 mA with ≤2 mV/mA load regulation and is available only on 14-pin packages (SOIC/TSSOP). This eliminates the need for a separate reference IC in space-constrained designs, directly enhancing system integration and reducing component count alongside the INA206AIDGSR.
How does the CMP1 RESET function work on the INA206AIDGSR?
The CMP1 RESET pin (Pin 8) is an active-low input that clears the latched state of Comparator 1. When pulled low, CMP1 OUT returns to high-impedance (open-drain high); when released (open or grounded), it remains transparent to new overthreshold events. At power-up, if RESET is left open or grounded, the comparator initializes in a known reset state. Leaving RESET unconnected results in automatic reset, while driving it high disables latching - making the INA206AIDGSR adaptable to both fault-hold and transparent monitoring modes.
