Product details
Overview
INA241B1QDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to 125°C) bidirectional current sense amplifier optimized for high-voltage motor control and power conversion systems. It delivers ±0.1% max gain error, ±150µV max input offset voltage, 1.1MHz bandwidth, −5V to 110V operational common-mode range, and enhanced PWM rejection up to 125kHz - enabling precise inline current monitoring in eTurbo, EPS, and regenerative braking circuits.
For engineers reviewing the INA241B1QDRQ1 datasheet, INA241B1QDRQ1 pinout, INA241B1QDRQ1 application, or INA241B1QDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10V/V fixed gain, SOT-23-8 package compatibility with space-constrained automotive PCBs, ultra-low 1µs 1% settling time, and functional safety documentation support for ISO 26262 ASIL-B system integration.
Technical Context
The INA241B1QDRQ1 employs a zero-drift, multistage amplifier topology with integrated PWM rejection circuitry that holds output for 1µs during large ΔV/Δt common-mode transients-then relies on 104dB AC-CMRR at 100kHz and 1.1MHz bandwidth to suppress subsequent disturbances. Its input stage operates independently of supply voltage, supporting common-mode voltages beyond the 2.7V–20V VS range.
This architecture enables accurate bidirectional sensing across shunt resistors in high-side, low-side, or inline configurations while maintaining ±0.5µV/°C offset drift and 8V/µs slew rate-critical for fast overcurrent detection in 48V and 800V EV subsystems without signal corruption from switching noise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 10V/V - sets full-scale output to 1V per 100mV shunt drop; simplifies ADC interface in 3.3V systems. |
| Common-mode range | −5V to 110V - supports high-side sensing in 48V/800V traction inverters and low-side sensing in battery disconnect units. |
| Bandwidth | 1.1MHz - ensures faithful reproduction of fast current transients (e.g., IGBT turn-on spikes) without phase lag. |
| Settling time (1%) | 1µs - enables real-time overcurrent protection response within single PWM cycle at 100kHz switching. |
| DC CMRR | 166dB - rejects DC bus ripple and ground bounce in noisy power domains, preserving measurement integrity. |
| Supply voltage | 2.7V to 20V - compatible with 3.3V, 5V, and 12V automotive domain controllers without LDO overhead. |
| Quiescent current | 2.5mA - minimizes standby power in always-on vehicle modules like EPS ECUs. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-8 package (DDF), 2.9mm × 2.8mm footprint, thermally enhanced for automotive under-hood operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN− | Negative input | Connect to load side (high-side) or ground side (low-side) of shunt; handles −5V to 110V common-mode. |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground return for internal biasing; must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling. |
| REF2 | Reference input | Adjusts output baseline; connect to 0V–VS to shift output swing for unidirectional/bidirectional use cases. |
| NC | No-connect | Reserved pin; electrically isolated and must be tied to GND per TI layout guidelines. |
| OUT | Analog output | 10×(IN+ − IN−) + (REF1 + REF2)/2; rail-to-rail capable with 8mV min swing to GND. |
| VS | Power supply | 2.7V–20V input; decoupling capacitor required within 1mm of pin for PWM rejection performance. |
| REF1 | Reference input | Paired with REF2 to set output common-mode; differential reference improves PSRR vs single-ended bias. |
| IN+ | Positive input | Connect to bus side (high-side) or load side (low-side); matched with IN− for CMRR optimization. |

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA241B1QDRQ1 can measure?
The INA241B1QDRQ1 supports an operational common-mode input range of −5V to 110V, with survival capability up to −20V and 120V. This allows direct high-side sensing in 48V and 800V EV architectures without external level-shifting circuitry. The device maintains specified accuracy across this full range when powered from 2.7V to 20V.
Does the INA241B1QDRQ1 require external components for PWM rejection?
No, the INA241B1QDRQ1 integrates proprietary enhanced PWM rejection circuitry - no external filters, capacitors, or compensation networks are needed. Its internal architecture holds output for 1µs during fast common-mode transients and leverages 104dB AC-CMRR at 100kHz to suppress residual noise, validated up to 125kHz switching frequencies.
What is the gain accuracy specification for the INA241B1QDRQ1 over temperature?
The INA241B1QDRQ1 has a maximum gain error of ±0.1% at room temperature, with gain error drift limited to ±5ppm/°C over −40°C to 125°C. This ensures total gain error remains within ±0.15% across the full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 temperature range - critical for maintaining current measurement fidelity in EPS and brake ECUs.
Can the INA241B1QDRQ1 be used for bidirectional current sensing?
Yes, the INA241B1QDRQ1 supports true bidirectional current sensing via its dual reference inputs (REF1 and REF2). By setting REF1 and REF2 to different potentials (e.g., 0V and VS), the output baseline shifts to accommodate both positive and negative shunt voltage polarities - enabling accurate charge/discharge current measurement in regenerative braking systems.
Which package options are available for the INA241B1QDRQ1?
The INA241B1QDRQ1 is offered exclusively in the DDF (SOT-23-8) package - a 2.9mm × 2.8mm surface-mount outline with thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation in compact automotive modules. Other variants like INA241B1QDGQRQ1 use VSSOP-8, but the QDRQ1 suffix denotes SOT-23-8 packaging per TI's orderable part numbering.
