Product details
Overview
INA241A5QDGKRQ1 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, ±0.015% max gain error, ±8µV max input offset voltage, and 1.1MHz bandwidth-designed for high-side motor current monitoring in electric power steering systems.
For engineers reviewing the INA241A5QDGKRQ1 datasheet, INA241A5QDGKRQ1 pinout, INA241A5QDGKRQ1 application, or INA241A5QDGKRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, automotive-grade thermal and PWM rejection performance, package-specific pin functions, and real-world implementation guidance for high-voltage switching systems.
Technical Context
The INA241A5QDGKRQ1 employs a zero-drift, high-CMRR architecture optimized for bidirectional current sensing across wide common-mode transients up to 120V survival rating. Its enhanced PWM rejection circuitry suppresses output disturbance during fast ΔV/Δt transitions up to 125kHz switching frequency.
It operates from 2.7V–20V supply, draws 2.5mA quiescent current, and delivers 8V/µs slew rate with 1µs settling time to 1%-enabling accurate real-time overcurrent detection in ePS and starter/generator control loops where signal fidelity under PWM noise is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 200V/V - enables precise low-mV shunt voltage amplification to full-scale ADC input with minimal gain error drift. |
| Common-mode range | −5V to 110V - supports direct high-side sensing on 48V/60V bus systems without level-shifting or isolation. |
| Input offset voltage | ±8µV max - ensures sub-100nΩ effective shunt resolution at 10A full scale, critical for torque accuracy in EPS. |
| Gain error | ±0.015% max - guarantees <±1.5mV absolute output error over temperature, enabling tight current-loop tolerance. |
| Bandwidth | 1.1MHz - captures fast transient currents (e.g., motor stall events) with <1µs response, meeting ISO 26262 ASIL-B timing requirements. |
| CMRR | 166dB DC / 104dB @100kHz - rejects bus noise and PWM coupling in high-dV/dt motor drive environments. |
| Supply voltage | 2.7V to 20V - compatible with 3.3V/5V/12V microcontroller domains and automotive battery rails. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3mm × 4.9mm body, exposed thermal pad, RoHS-compliant, qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN− | Negative input | Connects to load side of shunt in high-side config; ground side in low-side-defines current direction polarity. |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground return for internal biasing; must be low-impedance path to minimize measurement error. |
| REF2 | Reference input | Adjusts output common-mode level; tied to VS/2 for bipolar output swing in bidirectional sensing. |
| NC | No-connect | Reserved pin; must be connected to GND per TI design guidelines to ensure stability. |
| OUT | Analog output | Amplified, buffered current-sense voltage; drives ADC input directly with rail-to-rail capability (VS − 0.2V min). |
| VS | Power supply | 2.7V–20V analog supply; decoupling capacitor required within 1cm of pin to maintain PWM rejection integrity. |
| REF1 | Reference input | Paired with REF2 to set output offset; differential reference configuration enables true bidirectional zero-center output. |
| IN+ | Positive input | Connects to bus-voltage side of shunt in high-side config; load side in low-side-completes differential sense path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification | Validated for −40°C to 125°C operation-meets automotive powertrain ambient requirements without derating. |
| Enhanced PWM rejection | Suppresses output disturbance during 125kHz PWM edge transients via internal hold-and-filter logic, eliminating external RC snubbers. |
| Bidirectional sensing | Supports forward/reverse current flow with single device using dual reference pins-reduces BOM count vs discrete unidirectional solutions. |
| High AC CMRR at 1MHz | 89dB rejection at 1MHz enables clean current measurement in noisy inverter gate-drive environments with minimal post-processing. |
| Low input bias current | 35µA typical per input-even at 110V common-mode-minimizes shunt self-heating error in precision 50–100µΩ designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-precision, high-voltage current sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A5QDGKRQ1 | Same 200V/V gain and VSSOP-8 package, but ±0.1% gain error (vs ±0.015%) and ±150µV offset (vs ±8µV); no enhanced PWM rejection circuitry. | Limited to lower-noise, non-PWM applications like battery pack monitoring-unsuitable for motor drive feedback loops with >20kHz switching. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs PWM noise immunity and ultra-precision requirements. |
| MAX40056ATA+T | 200V/V gain, −5V to 65V common-mode range (vs −5V to 110V), 1.5MHz bandwidth, ±10µV offset-but not AEC-Q100 qualified. | Restricted to non-automotive industrial motor drives due to lack of automotive qualification and narrower common-mode range. | Choose only for commercial-grade 48V systems where extended common-mode and functional safety are not required. |
Compared with INA240A5QDGKRQ1 and MAX40056ATA+T, the INA241A5QDGKRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 110V common-mode capability, and hardware-enhanced PWM rejection-making it the only option for ASIL-B compliant high-side motor current sensing in EPS and eTurbo systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA241A5QDGKRQ1 can withstand during operation?
The INA241A5QDGKRQ1 has an operational common-mode input range of −5V to 110V. Its survival rating extends to −20V to 120V, meaning it tolerates short-duration transients beyond operational limits without damage-critical for handling load-dump or inductive kick events in automotive 48V systems. This specification is validated across the full −40°C to 125°C temperature range.
Does the INA241A5QDGKRQ1 require external components to achieve its specified PWM rejection performance?
No, the INA241A5QDGKRQ1 integrates proprietary enhanced PWM rejection circuitry that operates without external passive components. The device holds its output for 1µs during large common-mode transients and relies on intrinsic 1.1MHz bandwidth and 104dB AC-CMRR at 100kHz to attenuate subsequent edges-eliminating the need for external RC filters or snubbers typically required with legacy current sense amplifiers.
How does the 200V/V gain version (INA241A5QDGKRQ1) differ from lower-gain variants in terms of accuracy and bandwidth?
The INA241A5QDGKRQ1 maintains identical 1.1MHz bandwidth and ±8µV max input offset voltage as other A-grade versions, but features ±0.015% max gain error (tighter than A1–A4's ±0.01%) and ±2ppm/°C gain drift. Its higher gain enables use with smaller shunt resistors (e.g., 250µΩ), reducing power loss while preserving 16-bit ADC resolution-ideal for high-current EPS motor phases.
Is the INA241A5QDGKRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the INA241x-Q1 family?
Yes, all INA241x-Q1 variants-including INA241A5QDGKRQ1-in the same package (VSSOP-8 DGK) share identical pinout, footprint, and reference pin functionality. This allows drop-in replacement across gain options (10V/V to 200V/V) without PCB redesign, simplifying design reuse and calibration scaling in multi-platform automotive ECUs.
What thermal considerations apply to the INA241A5QDGKRQ1 in a VSSOP-8 package under continuous 125°C ambient operation?
In VSSOP-8 (DGK) packaging, the INA241A5QDGKRQ1 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 167.2°C/W. At 2.5mA supply current and 125°C ambient, junction temperature rise is ~0.4°C-well within the 150°C absolute max. For sustained high-power operation, TI recommends soldering the exposed thermal pad to a ≥25mm² copper pour to leverage improved RθJB (88.9°C/W) and ensure long-term reliability.
