Product details
Overview
INA215CIDCKT 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 75 V/V, ±60 µV maximum input offset voltage (TA = –40°C to +125°C), 0.5 µV/°C max offset drift, ±0.5% max gain error (Version C), and operates from 2.7 V to 26 V supply with only 100 µA quiescent current. It enables precise 10-mV full-scale shunt measurements in battery chargers and telecom power management systems.
For engineers reviewing the INA215CIDCKT datasheet, INA215CIDCKT pinout, INA215CIDCKT application, or INA215CIDCKT equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all grounded in TI's SBOS437K production data sheet and orderable device specifications.
Technical Context
The INA215CIDCKT implements a precision zero-drift chopper-stabilized amplifier topology optimized for differential voltage measurement across shunt resistors under wide common-mode conditions (–0.1 V to 26 V). Its internal matched resistor network (R3 = 13.3 kΩ, R4 = 1 MΩ) sets the 75 V/V gain and supports REF-biased output configuration.
It operates as a single-supply, rail-to-rail output current-sense amplifier with 40 kHz bandwidth (CLOAD = 10 pF), 105 dB min CMRR, and 25 nV/√Hz input-referred voltage noise. The SC70-6 package enables compact placement near shunts while maintaining thermal resistance of 227.3 °C/W (Junction-to-Ambient).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 75 V/V - fixed ratio converting shunt voltage to output; enables 10-mV full-scale sensing with <1% error at 125°C. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±60 µV max (–40°C to +125°C) - ensures ≤0.6% error at 10-mV shunt drop without calibration. |
| Offset Drift | 0.5 µV/°C max - limits temperature-induced error to <40 µV over full industrial range. |
| Common-Mode Range | –0.1 V to 26 V - supports high-side sensing on 24-V bus rails while powered from 3.3-V supply. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 26 V - allows direct operation from Li-ion battery or intermediate rail without LDO. |
| Quiescent Current | 100 µA max - enables always-on monitoring in energy-sensitive portable systems. |
| Bandwidth | 40 kHz - sufficient for DC–10 kHz current transients in switching power supplies and battery protection. |
| CMRR | 105 dB min - rejects >99.999% of common-mode noise in noisy 12-V telecom backplanes. |
Pinout & Package
INA215CIDCKT is packaged in a 6-pin SC70 (DCK) with 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm body size and 0.65 mm pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pin numbering follows standard SC70 top-view orientation (counterclockwise from mark).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - REF | Analog input | Reference voltage node (0 V to V+); sets output common-mode level; must be buffered if driven via resistive divider. |
| 2 - IN− | Analog input | Connects to load side of shunt; forms differential pair with IN+; high-impedance input (28 µA max bias). |
| 3 - V+ | Analog power supply | Single supply input (2.7 V–26 V); requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed within 2 mm. |
| 4 - IN+ | Analog input | Connects to supply side of shunt; senses current direction (bidirectional); matched to IN− for CMRR. |
| 5 - GND | Analog ground | Return path for supply and signal; must tie to system power ground near shunt to avoid ground loop errors. |
| 6 - OUT | Analog output | Voltage-output stage (rail-to-rail swing); drives 10-kΩ loads with ≤50 mV headroom to rails at 125°C. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-drift architecture | Enables stable 10-mV full-scale shunt sensing with <0.6% total error over –40°C to +125°C without trimming. |

| Wide common-mode range | –0.1 V to 26 V allows high-side placement on 24-V industrial buses while powered from 3.3-V microcontroller rail. |
| Low quiescent current | 100 µA max enables continuous current monitoring in always-on IoT nodes with multi-year battery life. |
| SC70-6 footprint | 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm package minimizes PCB area and parasitic inductance near high-current shunts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA214AIDCKT | 100 V/V gain, ±100 µV max offset, same SC70-6 package and 2.7–26 V supply. | Better suited for lower shunt drops (e.g., 5-mV FS) but higher offset increases error at low currents. | Select when higher gain is needed and ±1% gain error (Version A) is acceptable for cost-sensitive designs. |
| MAX4005AUT+T | 75 V/V gain, ±100 µV offset, 2.7–5.5 V supply only, SOT23-6 package, 12-bit integrated ADC interface. | Limited to low-voltage systems; lacks 26-V common-mode capability; includes digital interface overhead. | Choose only for 3.3-V embedded systems requiring direct ADC coupling and where 24-V bus sensing is not required. |
Compared with INA215CIDCKT, INA214AIDCKT offers higher gain but looser offset specs, while MAX4005AUT+T trades common-mode range and supply flexibility for integrated digital interfacing - making INA215CIDCKT the optimal choice for wide-input, precision analog current monitoring in industrial and telecom power systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage supported by the INA215CIDCKT?
The INA215CIDCKT supports a common-mode input voltage range of –0.1 V to 26 V over its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This specification applies to Version C devices and enables reliable high-side sensing on 24-V industrial buses. Exceeding 26 V requires external transient protection per TI's Section 6.4.4 guidance using zener clamps and series resistors.
Does the INA215CIDCKT support bidirectional current measurement?
Yes, the INA215CIDCKT supports true bidirectional current sensing. Its output voltage polarity reverses with current direction across the shunt resistor - positive current (IN+ to IN−) produces VOUT > VREF, while negative current yields VOUT < VREF. This behavior is inherent to its differential input architecture and is confirmed in the SBOS437K functional description and typical application schematics.
What is the gain error specification for the INA215CIDCKT over temperature?
The INA215CIDCKT (Version C) has a maximum gain error of ±0.5% over the full operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. Additionally, its gain drift is limited to 10 ppm/°C max, contributing less than ±0.12% error across the full range. These values are specified in Section 5.5 Electrical Characteristics of the TI SBOS437K datasheet.
Can the INA215CIDCKT operate from a 3.3-V supply while monitoring a 24-V rail?
Yes, the INA215CIDCKT can operate from a 3.3-V supply while accurately monitoring a 24-V rail. Its wide common-mode range (–0.1 V to 26 V) and independent supply voltage requirement allow high-side shunt placement on the 24-V rail, with V+ supplied separately from the 3.3-V system rail - a key capability confirmed in the device description and recommended operating conditions.
What package type and pin count does the INA215CIDCKT use?
The INA215CIDCKT uses the SC70-6 (DCK) package: a 6-pin, surface-mount, plastic package with 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm body size and 0.65 mm lead pitch. Pinout is standardized per Figure 4-1 in SBOS437K: Pin 1 = REF, Pin 2 = IN−, Pin 3 = V+, Pin 4 = IN+, Pin 5 = GND, Pin 6 = OUT.
