Product details
Overview
INA241A5QDDFRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to 125°C) ultra-precise bidirectional current sense amplifier with 200V/V gain, −5V to 110V common-mode input range, ±10µV max offset voltage, and 1.1MHz bandwidth-designed for high-side motor current monitoring in electric power steering and regenerative braking systems.
For engineers reviewing the INA241A5QDDFRQ1 datasheet, INA241A5QDDFRQ1 pinout, INA241A5QDDFRQ1 application, or INA241A5QDDFRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOT-23-8 pin mapping, automotive-grade PWM rejection up to 125kHz, and real-world implementation guidance for high-voltage switching systems.
Technical Context
The INA241A5QDDFRQ1 employs a zero-drift, high-common-mode topology enabling operation beyond its 2.7V–20V supply rail-supporting −5V to 110V input common-mode voltages while maintaining 166dB DC-CMRR and 104dB AC-CMRR at 100kHz. Its enhanced PWM rejection circuitry suppresses output disturbance during fast ΔV/Δt transients.
It delivers 8V/µs slew rate and 1µs settling time to 1%, enabling accurate capture of transient overcurrent events in motor control loops. The dual reference inputs (REF1/REF2) allow flexible output level shifting across the full supply range without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A5QDDFRQ1 | Same 200V/V gain and SOT-23-8 package, but lower CMRR (150dB DC) and no enhanced PWM rejection | Limited to lower-switching-frequency (<50kHz) applications without aggressive common-mode transients | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs PWM rejection requirement in non-inverter EPS subsystems |
| MAX40056ATA+T | 200V/V gain, −5V to 65V common-mode, 1.5MHz BW, but only 130dB DC-CMRR and no AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating | Not qualified for under-hood deployment; suitable for cabin or ADAS domain controllers only | Choose for non-safety-critical 12V systems where higher bandwidth offsets lower CMRR and qualification gaps |
Compared with INA240A5QDDFRQ1 and MAX40056ATA+T, the INA241A5QDDFRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 166dB DC-CMRR, and active PWM rejection-making it the only option for ASIL-B compliant high-frequency motor control in 48V architectures.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA241A5QDDFRQ1 can withstand during continuous operation?
The INA241A5QDDFRQ1 supports a continuous operational common-mode input range of −5V to 110V. Its survival rating extends to −20V to 120V, allowing tolerance of load-dump transients and battery reversal events without damage. This capability is validated across the full −40°C to 125°C operating temperature range for Grade 1 qualification.
Does the INA241A5QDDFRQ1 require external passive components for stable operation in high-noise automotive environments?
No, the INA241A5QDDFRQ1 integrates enhanced PWM rejection circuitry and achieves 166dB DC-CMRR without external filters. Only a 100nF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 1mm of the VS pin is required. Its zero-drift architecture eliminates the need for external offset trimming or calibration circuitry in production systems.
How does the INA241A5QDDFRQ1 achieve bidirectional current sensing with a single supply?
The INA241A5QDDFRQ1 uses dual reference inputs (REF1 and REF2) to establish an output common-mode voltage. When REF1 = REF2 = VS/2, the output centers at VS/2-enabling positive and negative current measurements relative to zero. This eliminates the need for split supplies or level-shifting circuitry in 3.3V or 5V microcontroller interfaces.
What is the functional difference between the 'A' and 'B' versions of the INA241x-Q1 family?
The 'A' version (e.g., INA241A5QDDFRQ1) offers ultra-precision performance: ±0.01% max gain error, ±10µV max offset, and ±0.1µV/°C drift. The 'B' version trades precision for cost: ±0.1% gain error, ±150µV offset, and ±0.5µV/°C drift. Both share identical pinout, package, and PWM rejection features.
Can the INA241A5QDDFRQ1 be used in high-side configurations with 48V battery systems?
Yes-the INA241A5QDDFRQ1 is explicitly designed for high-side sensing in 48V systems. Its −5V to 110V common-mode range accommodates battery voltages up to 58V (including transients), and its 200V/V gain enables accurate measurement of sub-10mΩ shunts at 100A+ currents. Layout guidelines mandate Kelvin connections to the shunt for optimal accuracy.
