Product details
Overview
INA211CIRSWR from Texas Instruments is a voltage-output, bidirectional current-shunt monitor with zero-drift architecture, designed for high-accuracy low- or high-side current sensing in power rails up to 26 V. It features a fixed gain of 500 V/V, ±35 µV maximum offset voltage, 0.5 µV/°C max offset drift, ±0.5% max gain error over temperature, and operates from 2.7 V to 26 V supply with 100 µA max quiescent current. It enables precise 10-mV full-scale shunt measurements in battery chargers and telecom power management.
For engineers reviewing the INA211CIRSWR datasheet, INA211CIRSWR pinout, INA211CIRSWR application, or INA211CIRSWR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated SC70/UQFN package mapping, confirmed pin functions for IN+, IN−, OUT, REF, GND, and V+, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts - all aligned to TI's SBOS437K revision November 2023 datasheet.
Technical Context
The INA211CIRSWR implements a zero-drift chopper-stabilized amplifier topology that maintains ±35 µV input offset and 0.5 µV/°C drift across –40°C to +125°C. Its differential input stage supports common-mode voltages from –0.1 V to 26 V independent of supply, enabling direct sensing on 12-V or 24-V rails while powered from 3.3-V or 5-V logic supplies.
With 500 V/V fixed gain, it converts 10-mV shunt drops into 5-V output signals compatible with standard ADC reference ranges. Its 7-kHz bandwidth (CLOAD = 10 pF), 105–140 dB CMRR, and 25 nV/√Hz input-referred noise support stable, high-resolution current monitoring in noisy power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 500 V/V - scales 10-mV shunt voltage to 5-V output, matching 5-V ADC full-scale without external scaling |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±35 µV - enables accurate sub-100-mA current measurement with 100-mΩ shunt at 10-mV full-scale |
| Offset Drift (max) | 0.5 µV/°C - contributes ≤6 µV error over –40°C to +125°C, preserving <0.1% measurement accuracy |
| Gain Error (max, –40°C to +125°C) | ±0.5% - limits full-scale error to ±25 mV on 5-V output, critical for closed-loop battery charge control |
| Common-Mode Range | –0.1 V to 26 V - supports high-side sensing on 24-V industrial rails and low-side sensing near ground |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 26 V - allows single-supply operation from 3.3-V microcontrollers while monitoring 12-V/24-V power paths |
| Quiescent Current (max) | 100 µA - enables always-on current monitoring in battery-backed systems with minimal standby drain |
Pinout & Package
The INA211CIRSWR is packaged in the RSW (10-pin Thin UQFN) variant, measuring 1.80 mm × 1.40 mm with 0.4-mm pitch. This thermally enhanced package delivers 107.3°C/W junction-to-ambient resistance and supports reflow-compatible PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Analog power supply | Accepts 2.7–26 V; powers internal amplifier and reference buffer; requires 0.1-µF bypass capacitor to GND |
| GND | Analog ground | Reference node for all analog circuitry; must be tied to system power ground with low-impedance path |
| IN+ | Noninverting input | Connects to supply-side of shunt resistor; matched with IN− for differential sensing; two pins (2 & 3) must be shorted |
| IN− | Inverting input | Connects to load-side of shunt resistor; forms differential pair with IN+; two pins (4 & 5) must be shorted |
| REF | Reference input | Sets output common-mode level; accepts 0–V+ voltage; unbuffered - requires low-impedance source or op-amp buffer |
| OUT | Analog output | Voltage-output stage drives 10-kΩ loads; swings within 50 mV of V+ and 5 mV of GND at full temperature range |
| NC (pins 1, 7) | No internal connection | Not bonded; may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability; no electrical function |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA210AIRSWR | 200 V/V gain, ±0.5% gain error, same package and temp range | Better suited for higher shunt drops (e.g., 25-mV full-scale); lower bandwidth (14 kHz) | Select when system uses ≥25-mΩ shunts and prioritizes bandwidth over resolution |
| INA212CIRSWR | 1000 V/V gain, ±0.5% gain error, same package and temp range | Enables 5-mV full-scale sensing; reduced bandwidth (4 kHz); higher noise sensitivity | Select for ultra-low-current applications (<50 mA) where 5-mV shunt drop is mandatory |
Compared with INA210AIRSWR and INA212CIRSWR, the INA211CIRSWR provides optimal balance of resolution (10-mV full-scale), bandwidth (7 kHz), and noise performance (25 nV/√Hz) for mid-range current monitoring in telecom and computing power supplies - avoiding the bandwidth penalty of INA212 and the reduced resolution of INA210.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage supported by the INA211CIRSWR?
The INA211CIRSWR supports a common-mode input voltage range of –0.1 V to 26 V across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This specification applies specifically to Version C devices per TI's SBOS437K datasheet. The –0.1 V lower limit enables true low-side sensing near ground, while the 26-V upper limit permits direct monitoring of 24-V industrial rails without level-shifting circuitry. The INA211CIRSWR maintains specified accuracy within this range independent of its 2.7–26 V supply voltage.
Does the INA211CIRSWR require an external reference voltage?
The INA211CIRSWR does not require an external reference voltage to operate, but its REF pin must be actively driven to define the output common-mode level. The REF pin accepts any voltage from 0 V to V+, and the output is given by VOUT = (ISHUNT × RSHUNT) × 500 + VREF. If referenced to GND, output swings from ~5 mV to (V+ – 50 mV); if biased to V+/2, output centers at mid-supply. TI recommends buffering REF with a low-impedance source or op-amp to preserve CMRR.
What is the bandwidth and slew rate of the INA211CIRSWR?
The INA211CIRSWR has a small-signal bandwidth of 7 kHz when loaded with 10 pF, as specified in TI's SBOS437K datasheet. Its slew rate is 0.4 V/µs, enabling step response settling within microseconds for typical current transients. These values are measured under standard test conditions (VS = 12 V, VCM = 12 V, VREF = VS/2). Bandwidth decreases with increasing capacitive load; for stable operation, keep total load capacitance ≤1 nF and use local 0.1-µF bypassing at V+.
Can the INA211CIRSWR perform bidirectional current sensing?
Yes, the INA211CIRSWR supports bidirectional current sensing by leveraging its differential input architecture and user-configurable REF pin. When current flows from IN+ to IN−, VOUT rises above VREF; when current reverses, VOUT falls below VREF. With VREF set to mid-supply (e.g., 2.5 V on a 5-V rail), the output spans ~2.5 V ±2.5 V for full-scale ±10-mA shunt current. This capability is explicitly confirmed for INA211 in the device family description and functional block diagram of SBOS437K.
What package variants are available for the INA211CIRSWR?
INA211CIRSWR is exclusively offered in the RSW package: a 10-pin Thin UQFN measuring 1.80 mm × 1.40 mm with 0.4-mm pitch. This differs from the DCK (SC70-6) package used by other INA21x variants. The RSW package provides superior thermal performance (107.3°C/W θJA) and dual-input pins (IN+ on pins 2&3, IN− on pins 4&5) that must be shorted externally. No SC70 variant exists for the INA211CIRSWR part number.
