Product details
Overview
INA212CIDCKT from Texas Instruments is a precision voltage-output current-shunt monitor optimized for bidirectional, high-side or low-side sensing in power management systems. It features 1000 V/V fixed gain, ±35 µV max offset voltage, 0.5 µV/°C max offset drift, –0.1 V to 26 V common-mode input range, and operates from 2.7 V to 26 V supply. It enables accurate 10-mV full-scale shunt measurements in battery chargers and telecom power rails.
For engineers reviewing the INA212CIDCKT datasheet, INA212CIDCKT pinout, INA212CIDCKT application, or INA212CIDCKT equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SC70-6 package details, zero-drift architecture context, and real-world implementation guidance - all confirmed against TI's SBOS437K production datasheet (November 2023 revision).
Technical Context
The INA212CIDCKT implements a zero-drift chopper-stabilized amplifier topology with matched thin-film resistors, enabling stable DC accuracy over temperature. Its differential input stage rejects common-mode voltages up to 26 V independent of supply, supporting direct sensing on 12-V or 24-V bus rails while powered from 3.3-V or 5-V logic supplies.
It uses an internal precision resistor network (RINT = 1 kΩ) to set its 1000 V/V gain, with REF pin allowing output level shifting from 0 V to VS. Input bias currents remain below 35 µA across –40°C to +125°C, and the device achieves 105 dB min CMRR at DC due to laser-trimmed matching.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 1000 V/V - scales 10-mV shunt drop to 10-V output, enabling high-resolution ADC interfacing without external amplification. |
| Offset Voltage (max) | ±35 µV - supports ≤10-mV full-scale shunt sensing with <0.35% error at full scale, critical for low-power battery monitoring. |
| Common-Mode Range | –0.1 V to 26 V - allows direct high-side sensing on 24-V industrial rails or negative-grounded low-side configurations. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 26 V - powers from single Li-ion cell (3.3 V) or wide-input DC-DC outputs without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current (max) | 100 µA - enables always-on current monitoring in energy-sensitive portable devices like notebooks and IoT edge nodes. |
| Bandwidth | 4 kHz - sufficient for DC and slow transient current monitoring (e.g., battery charge/discharge profiling), not RF or fast switching. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive modules, industrial PLCs, and telecom rectifier cabinets. |
Pinout & Package
INA212CIDCKT is packaged in a 6-pin SC70 (DCK) footprint measuring 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and modular power systems.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Analog power supply | Accepts 2.7–26 V; bypass capacitor required between V+ and GND for stability; powers internal amplifier and reference buffer. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | Return path for supply and signal; must be connected to system power ground with low-impedance trace to minimize noise coupling. |
| IN+ | High-side shunt connection | Connects to supply-side terminal of shunt resistor; tolerates up to 26 V common-mode even when V+ = 3.3 V. |
| IN− | Low-side shunt connection | Connects to load-side terminal of shunt; differential input measures voltage drop across RSHUNT with 1000× gain. |
| OUT | Voltage output | Single-ended analog output referenced to GND; swings within 50 mV of V+ and 5 mV of GND at 10-kΩ load. |
| REF | Output reference level | Adjusts output baseline: 0 V → VOUT = 1000 × VSENSE; VS/2 → VOUT = 1000 × VSENSE + VS/2 for bipolar sensing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-drift architecture | ±35 µV max offset and 0.5 µV/°C max drift ensure stable 10-mV full-scale accuracy across –40°C to +125°C without recalibration. |
| High CMRR (105 dB min) | Maintains measurement integrity in noisy 24-V industrial environments where common-mode transients exceed 10 V peak. |
| Wide supply range (2.7–26 V) | Eliminates need for auxiliary LDOs when monitoring 12-V or 24-V rails in telecom PSUs or server VRMs powered from 3.3-V control logic. |
| SC70-6 package | 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm footprint reduces board area by >50% vs SOIC-8, enabling dense multi-rail current monitoring on compact power modules. |
| Bidirectional sensing support | REF pin programmability allows output centering at mid-supply, enabling detection of both charge and discharge current through same shunt. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA213AIDCKT | 50 V/V gain, ±100 µV max offset, 80-kHz bandwidth - lower gain, higher BW, looser offset spec. | Better suited for high-current, high-shunt-drop (>60 mV) applications where speed matters more than sub-10-mV resolution. | Select when measuring ≥5-A loads with 10-mΩ shunts and requiring faster response than INA212CIDCKT's 4-kHz bandwidth. |
| MAX40056AUT+T | 100 V/V gain, ±150 µV max offset, 450-kHz bandwidth, integrated 2.5-V reference - higher gain tolerance, much higher speed, different reference architecture. | Targeted at motor phase current sensing and fast-switching SMPS where slew rate and bandwidth dominate accuracy requirements. | Choose for designs needing >100-kHz closed-loop current feedback; avoid if 10-mV full-scale resolution and ultra-low drift are mandatory. |
Compared with INA213AIDCKT and MAX40056AUT+T, the INA212CIDCKT uniquely balances ultra-low offset (±35 µV), 1000× gain, and SC70 packaging - making it optimal for precision low-current monitoring where board space and DC accuracy outweigh raw bandwidth needs.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA212CIDCKT can measure?
The INA212CIDCKT supports a common-mode input voltage range of –0.1 V to 26 V, verified per TI's SBOS437K datasheet Section 5.5. This allows direct high-side sensing on 24-V industrial buses or negative-grounded low-side configurations without external level-shifting circuitry. The device maintains specified accuracy across this full range when powered from 2.7 V to 26 V.
Does the INA212CIDCKT require external resistors to set gain?
No. The INA212CIDCKT has a factory-laser-trimmed fixed gain of 1000 V/V, implemented using internal matched thin-film resistors (RINT = 1 kΩ). No external gain-setting components are needed - simplifying layout, reducing BOM count, and eliminating resistor tolerance errors that would degrade accuracy in discrete solutions.
Can the INA212CIDCKT be used for bidirectional current sensing?
Yes. By applying a reference voltage (e.g., VS/2) to the REF pin, the INA212CIDCKT output centers at mid-supply. A positive shunt voltage produces an output above REF; a negative shunt voltage produces an output below REF - enabling detection of both charge and discharge current through the same shunt resistor in battery applications.
What is the typical bandwidth and slew rate of the INA212CIDCKT?
The INA212CIDCKT has a small-signal bandwidth of 4 kHz (at CLOAD = 10 pF) and a slew rate of 0.4 V/µs, per Section 5.5 of the SBOS437K datasheet. These values support DC and slowly varying current measurements - such as battery charge profiling or thermal derating - but are insufficient for PWM switching node current sampling.
Is the SC70-6 package of the INA212CIDCKT RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. The INA212CIDCKT in SC70-6 (DCK) package is manufactured per TI's standard RoHS-compliant, lead-free process. The device carries the "C" grade suffix (indicating –40°C to +125°C operation) and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), allowing standard SMT assembly without baking.
