Product details
Overview
INA207AIPW from Texas Instruments is a unidirectional current-shunt monitor IC with 50 V/V gain, dual open-drain comparators (one latching, one with programmable delay), 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-based current sensing in high-side or low-side configurations. It is used in server power rail monitoring where precise overcurrent detection and fault latching are required.
For engineers reviewing the INA207AIPW datasheet, INA207AIPW pinout, INA207AIPW application, or INA207AIPW equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed comparator timing behavior, exact gain accuracy (±1% max gain error), and two field-validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The INA207AIPW integrates a precision current-sense amplifier with fixed 50 V/V gain, two independent comparators sharing internal 0.6-V references (overridable on pins 3 and 6), and a buffered 1.2-V reference output. Its architecture enables simultaneous analog current measurement and dual-threshold digital fault signaling without external components.
Comparator 1 features latch-and-reset functionality via active-low CMP1 RESET (Pin 8), while Comparator 2 supports user-programmable delay via external capacitor on CMP2 DELAY (Pin 9); delay time follows tD = 5 × CDELAY (µF) with typical 0.5 s at 0.1 µF. Both comparators exhibit 1.3-µs typical response time and ±2 mV offset.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 50 V/V - Converts 20–100 mV shunt voltage to 1–5 V output, enabling direct ADC interfacing with 12-bit resolution at 5 V full scale. |
| Common-mode range | –16 V to 80 V - Supports high-side sensing in 48-V telecom systems and negative-rail battery protection circuits. |
| Bandwidth | 500 kHz - Captures fast current transients (e.g., MOSFET switching edges) without phase lag in motor drive feedback loops. |
| Quiescent current | 1.8–2.2 mA - Enables continuous monitoring in always-on power management subsystems without excessive standby loss. |
| Reference output | 1.2 V ±12 mV - Provides stable bias for comparator thresholds or external circuitry; load-regulated to 2 mV/mA up to 1 mA. |
| Comparator hysteresis | CMP1: ±8 mV, CMP2: ±8 mV - Prevents chatter during slow-rising fault conditions such as thermal overload ramp-up. |
| Output swing | VS – 0.25 V (high), GND + 4 mV (low) - Ensures clean logic-level compatibility with 3.3-V or 5-V microcontrollers. |
Pinout & Package
INA207AIPW is packaged in TSSOP-14 (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin functions are validated per TI SBOS360F Rev F (November 2015).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VS) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7–18 V; powers all internal blocks including comparators and reference; decoupling capacitor required. |
| 2 (OUT) | Analog output | 50× amplified shunt voltage; drives 10-kΩ loads; swing limited to VS – 0.25 V for accurate scaling. |
| 3 (CMP1 IN– / 0.6V REF) | Comparator 1 reference input | Internal 0.6-V reference node; externally overrideable to set custom trip point for overcurrent detection. |
| 4 (CMP1 IN+) | Comparator 1 signal input | Monitors OUT pin or external voltage; latches high on threshold exceedance until CMP1 RESET asserted. |
| 5 (CMP2 IN–) | Comparator 2 reference input | Fixed 0.6-V internal reference; not externally overrideable in this pin; used for secondary fault threshold. |
| 6 (CMP2 IN+ / 0.6V REF) | Comparator 2 signal input | Accepts external voltage or OUT; reference can be overridden to enable dual independent thresholds. |
| 7 (GND) | Analog ground | Return path for shunt, amplifier, and comparators; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| 8 (CMP1 RESET) | Latch reset control | Active-low asynchronous reset; open or grounded for automatic power-on reset; 1.1-V threshold. |
| 9 (CMP2 DELAY) | Delay timing capacitor node | Connects to capacitor (e.g., 0.1 µF) to set 0.5-s delay; linear relationship tD = 5 × CDELAY (µF). |
| 10 (CMP2 OUT) | Comparator 2 output | Open-drain output; requires external pull-up; asserts after programmed delay upon threshold crossing. |
| 11 (CMP1 OUT) | Comparator 1 output | Open-drain output; latched high until reset; drives interrupt lines or LED indicators directly. |
| 12 (1.2V REF OUT) | Reference voltage source | Stable 1.2-V output; supplies bias for external circuitry; regulated to ±12 mV over temperature and load. |
| 13 (VIN–) | Shunt low-side connection | Connects to shunt resistor ground side; common-mode rejection optimized for –16 V to 80 V range. |
| 14 (VIN+) | Shunt high-side connection | Connects to shunt resistor load side; enables high-side current sensing in positive or negative supply rails. |
Key Features

Use Value: Enables safe battery isolation without isolated amplifiers or optocouplers-reducing BOM cost by $1.42 per unit. | Use Scenario: Supervising individual rectifier outputs in redundant 48-V telecom power shelves to detect failed modules before load imbalance causes thermal runaway. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: INA207AIPW compares shunt voltage against 1.2-V reference (via Pin 12); CMP2 delay prevents false alarms during transient load steps. Use Value: 0.6-V internal reference and 1.2-V output allow fully self-referenced design-removing need for external precision resistors and trimming. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA206AIPW | 20 V/V gain (vs. 50 V/V); identical pinout, package, and comparator architecture. | Better suited for higher shunt voltages (>100 mV) or lower-resolution ADC interfaces; reduced sensitivity limits sub-1-A detection resolution. | Select when full-scale shunt voltage exceeds 250 mV or when system noise floor permits lower gain. |
| INA208AIPW | 100 V/V gain (vs. 50 V/V); same footprint and feature set; 200-kHz bandwidth (vs. 500 kHz). | Enables 10-mA resolution with 100-mΩ shunt but sacrifices high-frequency transient response; unsuitable for >100-kHz PWM current sampling. | Choose for ultra-low-current monitoring where bandwidth >200 kHz is unnecessary and 100× scaling improves SNR. |
Compared with INA206AIPW and INA208AIPW, the INA207AIPW offers optimal balance of sensitivity (50×), bandwidth (500 kHz), and dynamic range-making it the preferred choice for 1–100 A monitoring in telecom, server, and industrial power systems requiring both speed and resolution.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA207AIPW can measure?
The INA207AIPW supports a common-mode input voltage range of –16 V to 80 V. This allows direct high-side current sensing in 48-V telecom systems and negative-rail battery monitoring without external level-shifting circuitry. The specification is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range and applies to both VIN+ and VIN– pins simultaneously.
Does the INA207AIPW require external components to operate its comparators?
No, the INA207AIPW includes internal 0.6-V references for both comparators and a 1.2-V reference output on Pin 12. External components are only needed for specific functions: a pull-up resistor on CMP1 OUT/CMP2 OUT (typically 4.7 kΩ to VS), a capacitor on CMP2 DELAY (e.g., 0.1 µF for 0.5 s delay), and a reset pull-down or microcontroller driver on CMP1 RESET. No external reference or hysteresis resistors are required.
Can the INA207AIPW be used in bidirectional current sensing applications?
No, the INA207AIPW is explicitly a unidirectional current-shunt monitor. Its architecture assumes current flows from VIN+ to VIN–, and its output polarity does not invert for reverse current. For bidirectional sensing, TI recommends the INA226 or INA240 families, which provide signed output and dedicated negative-current measurement capability.
What is the accuracy of the 1.2-V reference output on the INA207AIPW?
The 1.2-V reference output on the INA207AIPW has a tolerance of ±12 mV (±1%) at TA = 25°C and drift of ≤100 ppm/°C over –40°C to 85°C. Load regulation is specified at 0.4 mV/mA (typical), supporting up to 1 mA sink/source while maintaining accuracy. This reference is available only on 14-pin packages (SO-14/TSSOP-14), not on the VSSOP-10 variant.
How does the CMP2 DELAY function work on the INA207AIPW?
The CMP2 DELAY pin (Pin 9) accepts an external capacitor to program comparator 2's response delay. The delay time follows tD = 5 × CDELAY, where CDELAY is in µF and tD is in seconds. For example, a 0.1-µF capacitor yields ~0.5 s delay. This RC-based timing is internally generated and does not require clock signals or firmware-enabling hardware-debounced fault detection independent of system MCU.
