Product details
Overview
INA241B2QDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to 125°C) bidirectional current sense amplifier with 20V/V gain, −5V to 110V common-mode input range, ±150µV max input offset voltage, and 1.1MHz bandwidth-designed for high-accuracy motor phase current monitoring in electric power steering (EPS) systems.
For engineers reviewing the INA241B2QDRQ1 datasheet, INA241B2QDRQ1 pinout, INA241B2QDRQ1 application, or INA241B2QDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its enhanced PWM rejection up to 125kHz, 8V/µs slew rate, 1µs 1% settling time, and functional safety documentation support for automotive ASIL-B system integration.
Technical Context
The INA241B2QDRQ1 employs a zero-drift, high-side/low-side configurable topology with integrated enhanced PWM rejection circuitry that holds output for 1µs during large ΔV/Δt common-mode transients-enabling accurate current measurement in switching motor drives where bus voltages swing rapidly between −5V and 110V.
Its dual reference inputs (REF1, REF2) allow flexible output level shifting across the full supply range (2.7V–20V), while its 166dB DC CMRR and 104dB AC CMRR at 100kHz ensure immunity to noise-coupled common-mode disturbances in high-voltage automotive subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 20V/V - sets full-scale output to 2V per 100mV shunt drop, optimizing dynamic range for 50A–200A EPS motor currents with standard 1mΩ–5mΩ shunts. |
| Common-mode range | −5V to 110V - supports direct high-side sensing on 48V/60V battery rails without level-shifting, including regenerative braking transients. |
| Input offset voltage | ±150µV max - contributes ≤±0.75mΩ effective shunt error at 200A, critical for torque accuracy in EPS control loops. |
| Bandwidth | 1.1MHz - captures fast overcurrent events within ≤1µs, enabling real-time fault response in ISO 26262-compliant safety mechanisms. |
| Slew rate | 8V/µs - maintains linearity during rapid load steps in eTurbo actuators, preventing output saturation during PWM edge transitions. |
| Supply voltage | 2.7V to 20V - compatible with 3.3V/5V microcontroller ADC interfaces and 12V vehicle power domains without external regulators. |
| Quiescent current | 2.5mA - enables always-on current monitoring in low-power wake-up states for battery management in 12V stop-start systems. |
Pinout & Package
INA241B2QDRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package (4.9mm × 6mm), optimized for thermal performance (RθJA = 122.9°C/W) and automotive board-level reliability under vibration and thermal cycling.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+ | Current-sense positive input | Connect to bus-voltage side of shunt in high-side EPS applications; handles −5V to 110V common-mode directly. |
| IN− | Current-sense negative input | Connect to load side of shunt; differential input rejects common-mode noise while preserving µV-level signal integrity. |
| GND | Analog ground reference | System ground return for internal biasing; must be low-impedance path to minimize measurement error from ground bounce. |
| REF1 / REF2 | Output reference voltage inputs | Set output mid-point (e.g., VREF1=VS, VREF2=GND → VOUT=VS/2); enable bidirectional current polarity detection with single-supply ADCs. |
| OUT | Amplified current-sense output | Provides rail-to-rail capable 20× amplified voltage proportional to shunt drop; drives 10kΩ loads with <20mV ground swing. |
| VS | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7V–20V; powers internal precision amplifiers and PWM rejection circuitry-no external decoupling beyond 100nF required. |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Internally reserved; must be connected to GND per TI design guidelines to maintain EMI immunity and thermal stability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional current sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A2QDRQ1 | Lower precision: ±500µV max offset, 100kHz PWM rejection limit, no functional safety documentation. | Targeted at cost-sensitive non-safety EPS variants; lacks ASIL-B support and 125kHz PWM handling. | Select when budget constraints outweigh ASIL-B compliance needs and PWM frequency remains <80kHz. |
| MAX40056ATA+T | Wider supply (2.7V–60V), but only 0.5MHz bandwidth and no AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating; offset drift ±2µV/°C vs ±0.5µV/°C for INA241B2QDRQ1. | Used in industrial 48V UPS systems-not validated for automotive temperature cycling or vibration. | Consider only for non-automotive 48V applications requiring >20V supply headroom; not suitable for EPS or brake systems. |
Compared with INA240A2QDRQ1 and MAX40056ATA+T, the INA241B2QDRQ1 delivers superior PWM rejection (125kHz vs 100kHz/none), tighter offset drift (±0.5µV/°C), and full AEC-Q100 Grade 1 + functional safety documentation-making it the only choice for ASIL-B EPS and brake actuator designs requiring guaranteed 1µs fault response.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA241B2QDRQ1 can withstand during transient conditions?
The INA241B2QDRQ1 has a survival common-mode voltage rating of −20V to 120V, meaning it withstands short-duration transients such as load-dump spikes or inductive kickback up to 120V without damage-while maintaining operational functionality from −5V to 110V. This margin ensures robustness in 48V automotive systems experiencing ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a events.
How does the enhanced PWM rejection feature of the INA241B2QDRQ1 improve motor control accuracy?
The INA241B2QDRQ1's enhanced PWM rejection holds its output for 1µs during large ΔV/Δt common-mode transients-preventing erroneous current readings during MOSFET/IGBT switching edges. This eliminates measurement corruption in EPS motor phase currents, enabling clean torque estimation even at 125kHz PWM frequencies without external filtering.
Can the INA241B2QDRQ1 be used for bidirectional current sensing with a single shunt resistor?
Yes-the INA241B2QDRQ1 supports true bidirectional sensing using its dual reference inputs (REF1 and REF2). By configuring REF1 = VS and REF2 = GND, the output centers at VS/2; positive current yields VOUT > VS/2, negative current yields VOUT < VS/2-enabling full-range polarity detection with one shunt in reversible motor drives.
What is the typical quiescent current draw of the INA241B2QDRQ1 across its operating temperature range?
The INA241B2QDRQ1 draws 2.5mA typical quiescent current at 25°C, rising to 3.2mA maximum at −40°C to +125°C. This stable, low supply current enables continuous current monitoring in always-on EPS control modules without compromising 12V battery standby life in stop-start vehicles.
Does the INA241B2QDRQ1 require external passive components for stable operation?
No-the INA241B2QDRQ1 is internally compensated and requires only a 100nF ceramic decoupling capacitor on the VS pin. Its 1.1MHz bandwidth and 8V/µs slew rate are maintained without external gain-setting resistors or phase-compensation networks, simplifying layout and reducing bill-of-materials in space-constrained EPS ECUs.
