Product details
Overview
INA225AQDGKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40 °C to +125 °C) bidirectional current-sense amplifier with pin-selectable gains of 25/50/100/200 V/V, 0 V to 36 V common-mode input range, ±150 μV max offset voltage, and 250 kHz bandwidth at G = 25 V/V - used in automotive body control modules for high-accuracy shunt-based current monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the INA225AQDGKRQ1 datasheet, INA225AQDGKRQ1 pinout, INA225AQDGKRQ1 application, or INA225AQDGKRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, gain-select terminal behavior, bidirectional sensing capability with external reference support, and automotive-grade thermal and ESD specifications per AEC-Q100.
Technical Context
The INA225AQDGKRQ1 employs a zero-drift, chopper-stabilized architecture enabling ±0.15% max gain error over temperature at 25/50 V/V and 0.5 μV/°C max offset drift. Its four discrete gain states are set by digital logic levels on GS0/GS1 pins, supporting dynamic range adaptation without external components.
It operates from a single +2.7 V to +36 V supply, draws ≤350 μA quiescent current, and maintains 95–105 dB common-mode rejection across –40 °C to +125 °C. The device supports bidirectional current measurement via user-defined REF voltage (0 V to VS), enabling true zero-centered output swing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Common-mode range | 0 V to 36 V - enables direct sensing on 12 V/24 V automotive battery rails without level-shifting. |
| Gain options | 25 / 50 / 100 / 200 V/V - selected via GS0/GS1 logic pins; supports 10 mV full-scale shunt sensing at highest gain. |
| Offset voltage (max) | ±150 μV - ensures <0.1% error at 150 mV differential input, critical for low-current precision in valve control. |
| Bandwidth @ G=25 | 250 kHz - supports fast transient detection in motor control feedback loops. |
| Quiescent current | 350 μA max - enables always-on current monitoring in low-power body electronics. |
| AEC-Q100 grade | Grade 1 (–40 °C to +125 °C) - qualified for under-hood and cabin applications including cluster and central control modules. |
| ESD rating | HBM ±2500 V, CDM ±1000 V - meets automotive robustness requirements for production environments. |
Pinout & Package
INA225AQDGKRQ1 is housed in an 8-pin VSSOP package (3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size), optimized for space-constrained automotive PCBs and thermally coupled to the board via exposed pad (DGK variant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN+ | Analog input | Connects to supply side of shunt resistor; accepts common-mode up to 36 V independent of VS. |
| 2 GND | Analog ground | Reference node for internal circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 VS | Power supply | Single supply input (2.7 V–36 V); powers all analog and digital functions including GS0/GS1 logic interface. |
| 4 OUT | Analog output | Voltage-output stage; swings within 5–10 mV of GND and up to VS – 0.2 V depending on REF and gain. |
| 5 GS0 | Digital input | Gain select bit 0; logic low/high relative to GND/VS sets gain per Table 7-3 (e.g., GS0=GND, GS1=VS → 50 V/V). |
| 6 GS1 | Digital input | Gain select bit 1; paired with GS0 to configure one of four factory-trimmed gain states. |
| 7 REF | Analog input | User-defined reference voltage (0 V to VS); determines output center point for bidirectional current sensing. |
| 8 IN− | Analog input | Connects to load side of shunt resistor; differential pair with IN+ measures shunt voltage drop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pin-selectable gain | Four factory-trimmed gains (25/50/100/200 V/V) configured statically or dynamically via GS0/GS1 - eliminates need for external gain-setting resistors or digital interfaces. |
| Bidirectional sensing | External REF input enables true bipolar output swing (e.g., REF = VS/2 yields ±2 V out for ±100 mV shunt drop) - essential for motor H-bridge and valve driver current direction detection. |
| Zero-drift architecture | 0.5 μV/°C max offset drift and ±150 μV max offset over full temperature range - maintains accuracy in engine bay thermal cycling without recalibration. |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1, HBM ±2500 V, CDM ±1000 V - certified for safety-critical subsystems including lighting and body control modules. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from 2.7 V to 36 V - supports direct connection to 12 V battery rail with cold-crank tolerance down to 2.7 V. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | Fixed gain (20 V/V), higher bandwidth (400 kHz), lower offset (±25 μV), but no programmable gain or REF pin. | Best for unidirectional, high-speed motor phase sensing where gain flexibility is unnecessary. | Select when fixed-gain simplicity and ultra-low offset outweigh need for bidirectionality or gain reconfiguration. |
| MAX40056ATA+T | Fixed gain (50 V/V), wider supply (2.7 V–60 V), integrated overvoltage protection, but no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Suitable for industrial 48 V systems; lacks automotive qualification and REF-based bidirectional support. | Choose for non-automotive 48 V battery monitoring where enhanced fault protection is prioritized over AEC-Q100 compliance. |
Compared with INA225AQDGKRQ1, INA240A1QDRQ1 offers superior speed and offset but sacrifices gain flexibility and bidirectional operation, while MAX40056ATA+T extends voltage range and adds protection but omits automotive qualification and REF-based centering - making INA225AQDGKRQ1 uniquely suited for AEC-Q100-compliant, software-configurable bidirectional sensing in 12/24 V vehicle networks.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage supported by the INA225AQDGKRQ1?
The INA225AQDGKRQ1 supports a common-mode input voltage range of 0 V to 36 V, independent of its supply voltage (VS). This allows direct connection to 12 V or 24 V automotive battery rails without external level-shifting circuitry. The specification is guaranteed over the full operating temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C) and applies to both IN+ and IN− terminals simultaneously.
How do I configure the gain settings on the INA225AQDGKRQ1?
The INA225AQDGKRQ1 uses two digital input pins - GS0 and GS1 - to select one of four factory-trimmed gains: 25 V/V (both pins grounded), 50 V/V (GS0 = GND, GS1 = VS), 100 V/V (GS0 = VS, GS1 = GND), or 200 V/V (both pins tied to VS). These pins accept standard CMOS logic levels referenced to the device's VS and GND, and configuration is latched on power-up or during operation.
Does the INA225AQDGKRQ1 support bidirectional current sensing?
Yes, the INA225AQDGKRQ1 supports true bidirectional current sensing via its REF pin. By applying a user-defined reference voltage (0 V to VS) to REF, the output voltage centers around that reference - enabling positive and negative differential inputs to produce corresponding above/below-REF outputs. This is essential for H-bridge motor control and solenoid valve drive applications.
What is the typical quiescent current consumption of the INA225AQDGKRQ1?
The INA225AQDGKRQ1 draws a maximum of 350 μA quiescent current across its full operating temperature range (–40 °C to +125 °C) and supply range (+2.7 V to +36 V). At +25 °C and +5 V supply, typical IQ is 300 μA. This ultra-low power enables always-on current monitoring in battery-sensitive automotive modules such as body control units.
Is the INA225AQDGKRQ1 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the INA225AQDGKRQ1 is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade 1, –40 °C to +125 °C ambient), with HBM ESD classification Level 2 (±2500 V) and CDM classification C4B (±1000 V). It also includes functional safety documentation to support ISO 26262 ASIL-B system-level development - confirming its suitability for safety-critical automotive subsystems including lighting, cluster, and central control modules.
