Product details
Overview
INA215CQDCKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an automotive-grade, zero-drift current-shunt monitor optimized for bidirectional high-side or low-side current sensing in 12-V and 24-V automotive systems. It delivers 75 V/V fixed gain, ±60 µV max input offset voltage (at 25°C), 0.5 µV/°C max offset drift, and operates from 2.7 V to 26 V supply across –40°C to +125°C - enabling accurate 10-mV full-scale shunt measurements in body control modules and motor control feedback loops.
For engineers reviewing the INA215CQDCKRQ1 datasheet, INA215CQDCKRQ1 pinout, INA215CQDCKRQ1 application, or INA215CQDCKRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 75 V/V gain accuracy (±0.5% over temperature), 40 kHz bandwidth, SC70-6 package footprint, and functional safety documentation support for ISO 26262 ASIL-B–capable designs.
Technical Context
The INA215CQDCKRQ1 implements a precision zero-drift chopper-stabilized amplifier architecture with rail-to-rail output swing and integrated reference input (REF) for offset adjustment. Its differential input stage supports common-mode voltages from –0.1 V to 26 V - independent of supply - enabling direct connection to high-side shunts on 24-V battery rails while powered from a 3.3-V or 5-V domain.
It features 100 µA max quiescent current, 25 nV/√Hz input-referred noise, and 0.4 V/µs slew rate. Gain error is specified at ±0.5% over temperature for Version C, with 10 ppm/°C gain drift and 140 dB CMRR at DC - critical for rejecting battery ripple and load transients in automotive power distribution networks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fixed Gain | 75 V/V - sets output scaling for 10-mV shunt drop → 750-mV full-scale output, simplifying ADC interface in 12-bit systems |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±60 µV at 25°C - enables ≤10-mV full-scale shunt sensing with <0.6% error at minimum current |
| Offset Drift (max) | 0.5 µV/°C - contributes <65 µV total drift over –40°C to +125°C, preserving accuracy in under-hood environments |
| Common-Mode Range | –0.1 V to 26 V - supports high-side sensing on 24-V battery rails even with negative transients during load dump |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 26 V - allows single-supply operation from MCU I/O rails or direct battery connection without LDO |
| Bandwidth | 40 kHz - sufficient for PWM motor current monitoring up to 10-kHz switching frequencies with <1% gain error |
| Quiescent Current (max) | 100 µA - enables always-on current monitoring in low-power wake-up circuits without battery drain penalty |
Pinout & Package
INA215CQDCKRQ1 is housed in a 6-pin SC70 package (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, 0.65-mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs and compatible with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| REF (Pin 1) | Reference input | Accepts 0 V to V+ to set output common-mode level; enables bidirectional current sensing with single-supply operation |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuitry and output stage; must be connected to system power ground with low-impedance trace |
| V+ (Pin 3) | Positive supply | Single 2.7–26 V supply input; powers amplifier core and output buffer; decoupling capacitor required at pin |
| IN+ (Pin 4) | Non-inverting input | Connects to high-potential side of shunt resistor; defines current direction polarity for high-side sensing |
| IN– (Pin 5) | Inverting input | Connects to low-potential side of shunt resistor; differential voltage across IN+ and IN– is amplified by 75× |
| OUT (Pin 6) | Analog output | Voltage-output stage delivering (ISHUNT × RSHUNT) × 75 + VREF; rail-to-rail swing supports 0–V+ dynamic range |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified | Rated for –40°C to +125°C ambient operation - validated for engine bay, transmission, and chassis control modules |
| Zero-drift architecture | Chopper-stabilized design ensures <65 µV total offset drift over full temperature range - eliminates calibration in production |
| Functional safety documentation | Includes FIT rate, failure mode analysis, and diagnostic coverage data - accelerates ISO 26262 ASIL-B system certification |
| High CMRR (140 dB) | Rejects battery ripple and EMI coupling on high-side shunts - maintains accuracy despite 26-V common-mode noise |
| Low quiescent current | 100 µA max draw enables continuous current monitoring in always-on vehicle domains without compromising sleep current budgets |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA226AQDGSRQ1 | Digital output (I²C), 16-bit delta-sigma ADC, internal 0.1-Ω shunt, 0.1% gain accuracy, but higher 350-µA quiescent current | Replaces analog signal chain with digital bus interface; requires firmware integration and I²C pull-ups | Choose when system-level digital monitoring, multi-channel aggregation, or programmable gain is required - not for direct analog ADC replacement |
| MAX40056ATA+T | 75 V/V gain, 500-kHz bandwidth, ±150-µV offset, 1.2-mA quiescent current, 8-pin TDFN package | Higher speed and wider supply range (2.7–60 V), but larger footprint and no AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating | Choose for non-automotive industrial applications requiring faster response or >26-V operation - not for ASIL-B or space-constrained automotive PCBs |
Compared with INA226AQDGSRQ1 and MAX40056ATA+T, the INA215CQDCKRQ1 uniquely balances AEC-Q100 Grade 1 compliance, ultra-low quiescent current, SC70-6 footprint, and 75 V/V precision gain - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, always-on automotive current monitoring where analog interface simplicity is prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage supported by the INA215CQDCKRQ1?
The INA215CQDCKRQ1 supports a common-mode input voltage range of –0.1 V to 26 V, independent of supply voltage. This allows direct high-side sensing on 24-V automotive battery rails, including transient conditions like load dump. The specification is guaranteed for Versions B and C per the SBOS475J datasheet, and the INA215CQDCKRQ1 is a Version C device.
Does the INA215CQDCKRQ1 require external components for stable operation?
Yes - the INA215CQDCKRQ1 requires a 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitor between V+ and GND, placed as close as possible to the pins. A 0.01-µF capacitor is recommended between CBYPASS and GND if used. No external gain-setting resistors are needed since it features a fixed 75 V/V gain. Layout guidelines emphasize short, matched traces for IN+ and IN– to minimize noise pickup.
Is the INA215CQDCKRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the INA21x-Q1 family?
Yes - all INA21x-Q1 devices, including INA215CQDCKRQ1, share identical 6-pin SC70 (DCK) pinout and package dimensions. This allows drop-in substitution among family members (e.g., INA213-Q1, INA214-Q1) when only gain adjustment is required, provided layout and reference voltage configuration match the new gain's output range.
What functional safety documentation is available for the INA215CQDCKRQ1?
Texas Instruments provides functional safety documentation for the INA215CQDCKRQ1, including FMEDA reports, FIT rate data (122 failures per billion hours), and diagnostic coverage analysis - supporting ISO 26262 ASIL-B system development. These documents are accessible via TI's functional safety portal under the INA21x-Q1 product folder.
Can the INA215CQDCKRQ1 measure bidirectional current?
Yes - the INA215CQDCKRQ1 supports bidirectional current sensing when the REF pin is biased to a mid-supply voltage (e.g., V+/2). With REF = 2.5 V and V+ = 5 V, the output swings from ~0.005 V (negative full-scale) to ~4.95 V (positive full-scale), enabling unambiguous direction detection using a single-ended ADC input.
