Product details
Overview
INA241A5QDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to 125°C) ultra-precise bidirectional current sense amplifier optimized for high-voltage motor control and regenerative braking systems. It delivers 200V/V fixed gain, ±0.015% max gain error, ±8µV max input offset voltage, and 1.1MHz bandwidth across −5V to 110V common-mode range - enabling accurate inline current measurement in eTurbo and EPS inverters.
For engineers reviewing the INA241A5QDRQ1 datasheet, INA241A5QDRQ1 pinout, INA241A5QDRQ1 application, or INA241A5QDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include PWM rejection up to 125kHz, 1µs 1% settling time, 166dB DC CMRR, and SOT23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained automotive power stages.
Technical Context
The INA241A5QDRQ1 employs a zero-drift, multistage amplifier topology with integrated enhanced PWM rejection circuitry that holds output for 1µs during large ΔV/Δt common-mode transients-then relies on 1.1MHz bandwidth and 104dB AC CMRR at 100kHz to suppress residual disturbances. Its input stage operates independently of supply voltage, supporting common-mode voltages beyond VS (up to 110V) while maintaining ±8µV offset and ±0.015% gain error.
This architecture enables precise bidirectional sensing in switching systems where high dV/dt noise from IGBT/MOSFET gate drivers couples onto shunt resistor nodes. The dual reference inputs (REF1/REF2) allow flexible output level shifting from GND to VS, supporting both unidirectional and bipolar current monitoring without external op-amps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 200V/V - sets full-scale output to 4V for 20mV shunt drop; enables high-resolution current measurement with minimal PCB layout sensitivity. |
| Common-mode range | −5V to 110V - supports direct high-side sensing in 48V/60V battery systems and regenerative braking with negative voltage recovery. |
| Input offset voltage | ±8µV max - contributes ≤0.04% error at 20mV sense voltage; critical for low-current detection in EPS standby modes. |
| Bandwidth | 1.1MHz - captures fast overcurrent events in <1µs; sufficient for 125kHz PWM edge detection without phase lag. |
| CMRR | 166dB DC / 104dB at 100kHz - rejects bus noise coupling into shunt node; maintains accuracy during IGBT switching transitions. |
| Supply voltage | 2.7V to 20V - compatible with 3.3V/5V logic rails and 12V/15V analog supplies in automotive ECUs. |
| Quiescent current | 2.5mA - enables always-on current monitoring in safety-critical subsystems without excessive thermal load. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-8 package (2.9mm × 2.8mm), thermally enhanced for automotive under-hood operation. Pinout validated per TI SBOSA31D Rev D (June 2025).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN− (Pin 1) | Current-sense amplifier negative input | Connect to load side in high-side configuration or ground side in low-side configuration; handles −5V to 110V common-mode. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | System ground return for internal biasing; must be low-impedance path to minimize measurement error. |
| REF2 (Pin 3) | Reference voltage input | Adjusts output common-mode level; connect to 0V–VS to set output baseline for ADC interfacing. |
| NC (Pin 4) | No-connect terminal | Reserved; must be connected to GND per datasheet to ensure stability and EMI performance. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Analog output | 200×(IN+ − IN−) + (REF1 + REF2)/2; rail-to-rail swing (VS − 0.2V min) into 10kΩ load. |
| VS (Pin 6) | Power supply | 2.7V–20V analog supply; decoupling capacitor required within 1cm of pin for PWM rejection integrity. |
| REF1 (Pin 7) | Reference voltage input | Paired with REF2 to define output offset; differential reference rejection ratio >100dB minimizes supply noise coupling. |
| IN+ (Pin 8) | Current-sense amplifier positive input | Connect to bus-voltage side in high-side configuration or load side in low-side configuration; matched to IN− for CMRR. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A5QDRQ1 | Same 200V/V gain but ±0.2% max gain error and ±150µV offset; no enhanced PWM rejection circuitry. | Limited to lower-frequency (<50kHz) motor drives; unsuitable for eTurbo or high-dV/dt EMB systems. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs PWM noise immunity and ultra-precision requirements. |
| MAX40056ATA+T | 200V/V gain, 1.5MHz bandwidth, but only −2V to 65V common-mode range and no AEC-Q100 qualification. | Restricted to 12V/24V non-automotive industrial drives; lacks automotive temperature grade and functional safety support. | Choose for commercial-grade 24V servo systems where extended common-mode range is not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA241A5QDRQ1 can withstand during continuous operation?
The INA241A5QDRQ1 supports a continuous operational common-mode voltage range of −5V to 110V. Its survival rating extends to −20V to 120V, allowing brief exposure to transients such as load dump or inductive kickback without damage. This enables direct high-side sensing in 48V and 60V automotive battery systems without external level-shifting circuitry.
How does the enhanced PWM rejection feature of the INA241A5QDRQ1 improve system reliability in motor control applications?
The INA241A5QDRQ1's enhanced PWM rejection holds its output for 1µs during large common-mode ΔV/Δt transients - such as those from IGBT gate drivers - then attenuates residual noise using 104dB AC CMRR at 100kHz and 1.1MHz bandwidth. This prevents false overcurrent trips in eTurbo and EPS inverters, directly improving functional safety compliance and reducing field failure rates.
Can the INA241A5QDRQ1 be used for bidirectional current sensing in regenerative braking systems?
Yes, the INA241A5QDRQ1 is explicitly designed for bidirectional operation across its full −5V to 110V common-mode range. In regenerative braking, it accurately measures both motoring (positive) and generating (negative) currents through the same shunt resistor, eliminating the need for separate unidirectional amplifiers or H-bridge reconfiguration.
What package options are available for the INA241A5QDRQ1, and which is recommended for high-density automotive PCB layouts?
The INA241A5QDRQ1 is offered in SOT23-8, VSSOP-8, SOIC-8, and VSSOP-10 packages. For high-density automotive layouts, the SOT23-8 (2.9mm × 2.8mm) is recommended due to its smallest footprint and validated thermal performance (RθJA = 129.7°C/W), enabling placement near power MOSFETs without compromising measurement accuracy.
Does the INA241A5QDRQ1 require external components for stable operation in noisy automotive environments?
Yes - a 1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor must be placed within 1cm of the VS pin, and the NC pin (Pin 4) must be connected to GND per TI SBOSA31D. These requirements ensure integrity of the enhanced PWM rejection circuitry and maintain 166dB DC CMRR; omission risks increased output ripple and false fault triggering in EPS or brake ECU designs.
