Product details
Overview
INA206AIDGST from Texas Instruments is a unidirectional current-shunt monitor IC with 20 V/V gain, dual open-drain comparators (CMP1 latched, CMP2 programmable delay), and integrated 1.2-V reference output - designed for high-side or low-side shunt sensing across –16 V to 80 V common-mode voltage in power supply monitoring and overcurrent protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the INA206AIDGST datasheet, INA206AIDGST pinout, INA206AIDGST application, or INA206AIDGST equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500-kHz bandwidth, ±3.5% total output error over temperature, 1.8-mA quiescent current, SO-14/TSSOP-14 package compatibility, and dual-comparator timing behavior with external capacitor control on CMP2 DELAY.
Technical Context
The INA206AIDGST implements a precision current-sense amplifier stage followed by two independent comparators: CMP1 features internal 0.6-V reference and latch/reset functionality via active-low CMP1 RESET pin; CMP2 offers user-adjustable delay via external capacitor on CMP2 DELAY pin and shares the same 0.6-V reference (overridable on pins 3 and 6). Both comparators drive open-drain outputs (CMP1 OUT, CMP2 OUT) compatible with 5-V or 12-V pull-up rails.
Its 1.2-V REF OUT provides a stable, low-drift (≤100 ppm/°C) reference for external circuitry, available only on 14-pin packages. The device operates from a single 2.7-V to 18-V supply and maintains accuracy across –40°C to +125°C, supporting robust operation in telecom, automotive, and industrial power systems where wide common-mode range and fault response timing are critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 20 V/V - scales 100-mV shunt drop to 2-V output, enabling direct interface with 3.3-V ADCs without attenuation. |
| Common-mode input range | –16 V to 80 V - supports high-side sensing in 48-V telecom supplies and negative-rail battery monitoring. |
| Bandwidth | 500 kHz - captures fast transient overcurrent events (e.g., short-circuit rise times <2 µs). |
| Total output error | ±3.5% over –40°C to +125°C - ensures reliable trip-point accuracy in thermal-cycling environments. |
| Quiescent current | 1.8 mA - enables low-power operation in always-on monitoring paths without compromising speed. |
| Reference output | 1.2 V ±12 mV (25°C), ≤100 ppm/°C drift - usable as precision bias for external comparators or ADC references. |
| Comparator response time | 1.3 µs (typ.) - delivers sub-microsecond fault detection for safety-critical shutdown sequences. |
Pinout & Package
INA206AIDGST is packaged in SO-14 (8.65 mm × 3.91 mm) and TSSOP-14 (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) variants, both pin-compatible and RoHS-compliant. Pin functions are identical across both packages.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VS | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7–18 V; powers all internal blocks including reference and comparators. |
| 2 - OUT | Analog output | Voltage output = 20 × (VIN+ − VIN−); rail-to-rail swing capability supports wide dynamic range. |
| 3 - CMP1 IN− / 0.6V REF | Comparator 1 negative input / reference tap | Internal 0.6-V reference accessible externally; can be overridden for custom threshold setting. |
| 4 - CMP1 IN+ | Comparator 1 positive input | Compares against pin 3 reference or external signal; triggers latched CMP1 OUT when exceeded. |
| 5 - CMP2 IN− | Comparator 2 negative input | Standard comparator input; referenced to internal 0.6-V or external override on pin 6. |
| 6 - CMP2 IN+ / 0.6V REF | Comparator 2 positive input / reference tap | Dual-function pin: provides second 0.6-V reference or accepts external threshold voltage. |
| 7 - GND | Analog ground | Return path for shunt current measurement and internal circuitry; separate from digital ground. |
| 8 - CMP1 RESET | Active-low reset control | Pulls CMP1 OUT low when asserted; open or grounded at power-up ensures defined initial state. |
| 9 - CMP2 DELAY | Capacitor connection for delay timing | Connects external capacitor (e.g., 0.1 µF → 0.5 s delay); controls CMP2 output assertion/release timing. |
| 10 - CMP2 OUT | Comparator 2 open-drain output | Drives low on threshold breach; requires external pull-up; delay applies to both rising/falling edges. |
| 11 - CMP1 OUT | Comparator 1 open-drain output | Latched output - remains asserted until CMP1 RESET is pulsed low; enables persistent fault flagging. |
| 12 - 1.2V REF OUT | Reference voltage output | Stable 1.2-V source (±12 mV, ≤100 ppm/°C); supports ≤1 mA load; not available on 10-pin variant. |
| 13 - VIN− | Shunt low-side connection | Connects to shunt resistor's low-side terminal; enables bidirectional common-mode support down to –16 V. |
| 14 - VIN+ | Shunt high-side connection | Connects to shunt resistor's high-side terminal; handles up to +80 V common-mode voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional current sensing | Accurate measurement of shunt voltage drops from –16 V to +80 V common-mode, enabling high-side or low-side placement in 12–48 V systems. |
| Dual open-drain comparators | CMP1 provides latched fault flag with hardware reset; CMP2 adds user-programmable delay (via external capacitor) for debounced overcurrent response. |
| Integrated 1.2-V reference | Low-drift (≤100 ppm/°C), load-regulated (0.4 mV/mA) reference output - eliminates need for external precision reference in auxiliary monitoring circuits. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 2.7 V to 18 V - supports direct connection to 3.3-V, 5-V, or 12-V rails without LDO regulation. |
| High-speed response | 500-kHz bandwidth and 1.3-µs comparator propagation enable real-time detection of fast transients in motor drives and DC-DC converters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA207AIDGST | 50 V/V gain (vs. 20 V/V); otherwise identical pinout, reference, and comparator architecture. | Better suited for lower shunt voltages (e.g., 40-mV full-scale), requiring higher output swing for noise immunity. | Select INA207AIDGST when shunt voltage is ≤40 mV and system needs higher output resolution without gain-stage amplification. |
| INA219BIDR | I²C digital output (26-bit ADC), no analog output or dual comparators; 16-V max common-mode; built-in power calculation engine. | Targets microcontroller-based systems needing digital telemetry and energy monitoring, not hardware-triggered shutdown. | Choose INA219BIDR for smart power meters or battery fuel gauging where software-controlled thresholds and energy integration are required. |
Compared with INA207AIDGST, the INA206AIDGST provides lower gain for higher shunt voltage tolerance and reduced sensitivity to noise; versus INA219BIDR, it delivers deterministic hardware-level fault response without MCU dependency - critical for failsafe overcurrent protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage supported by the INA206AIDGST?
The INA206AIDGST supports a common-mode input voltage range from –16 V to +80 V on VIN+ and VIN– pins. This allows direct high-side sensing in 48-V telecom systems and compatibility with negative-rail battery monitoring. Operation outside this range risks damage or undefined behavior per absolute maximum ratings.
Does the INA206AIDGST require external components to operate its comparators?
Yes - the INA206AIDGST comparators require external pull-up resistors on CMP1 OUT and CMP2 OUT (typically 4.7 kΩ to VS), and CMP2 DELAY needs an external capacitor (e.g., 0.1 µF for 0.5 s delay). CMP1 RESET may be left open or pulled to GND for default latching behavior; no external reference is needed as internal 0.6-V and 1.2-V references are provided.
Can the 1.2-V reference output of the INA206AIDGST drive external circuitry?
Yes - the 1.2V REF OUT pin delivers up to 1 mA with ≤2 mV/mA load regulation and ≤100 ppm/°C drift. It is specified for use as a precision bias source for external comparators, ADC references, or sensor excitation. Do not exceed 10 nF capacitive load to avoid oscillation.
How does the latching function of CMP1 work in the INA206AIDGST?
CMP1 OUT remains asserted (low) after crossing its threshold until CMP1 RESET is pulsed low. Leaving CMP1 RESET open or grounded at power-up initializes the latch in a known state. A minimum 1.5-µs pulse width on CMP1 RESET is required for reliable reset, and the pin has an internal 2-MΩ pull-down - ensuring transparent operation if left unconnected.
Is the INA206AIDGST pin-compatible with other devices in the INA20x family?
Yes - the INA206AIDGST, INA207AIDGST, and INA208AIDGST share identical SO-14 and TSSOP-14 pinouts, electrical interfaces, and functional block diagrams. Only the gain (20 V/V, 50 V/V, 100 V/V) differs; all comparator, reference, and supply characteristics remain consistent across the family.
