Product details
Overview
INA241B3QDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (−40°C to +150°C) bidirectional current sense amplifier optimized for high-voltage motor control and regenerative braking in automotive systems. It delivers 50V/V fixed gain, −5V to 110V operational common-mode range, ±150µV max input offset voltage, and 1.1MHz bandwidth with 8V/µs slew rate - enabling precise inline current measurement in eTurbo, EPS, and starter/generator inverters.
For engineers reviewing the INA241B3QDRQ1 datasheet, INA241B3QDRQ1 pinout, INA241B3QDRQ1 application, or INA241B3QDRQ1 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SOT23-8), confirmed PWM rejection up to 125kHz, exact Grade 0 thermal specs, real-world CMRR performance (120–130dB), and validated alternatives for high-side sensing in 48V–800V traction subsystems.
Technical Context
The INA241B3QDRQ1 employs a zero-drift, multistage amplifier architecture with integrated enhanced PWM rejection circuitry that holds output for 1µs during large ΔV/Δt transients and attenuates residual disturbances via 104dB AC-CMRR at 100kHz. Its input stage operates independently of supply voltage, supporting common-mode voltages beyond VS (e.g., 110V with 5V supply).
It features dual reference inputs (REF1/REF2) enabling programmable output offset from 0V to VS, supports bidirectional sensing via differential input polarity reversal, and maintains 1.1MHz bandwidth across all gains - critical for fast overcurrent detection in SiC/GaN-based motor drives.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 50V/V - sets full-scale output to 2.5V for 50mV shunt drop; optimizes dynamic range vs. noise in 10–200A motor phase sensing. |
| Common-mode range | −5V to 110V - enables direct high-side sensing on 48V, 400V, and 800V battery rails without level-shifting. |
| Offset voltage (max) | ±150µV - contributes ≤0.3% error at 50mV sense voltage; stable over −40°C to +150°C (±0.5µV/°C drift). |
| Bandwidth | 1.1MHz - resolves sub-microsecond current transients; supports >500kHz PWM carrier edge detection. |
| Slew rate | 8V/µs - prevents output saturation during fast load steps; ensures <1µs settling to 1% for step inputs. |
| Supply range | 2.7V to 20V - compatible with 3.3V/5V logic domains and 12V/15V bias rails in automotive ECUs. |
| Quiescent current | 2.5mA - enables low-power always-on monitoring in safety-critical subsystems without thermal penalty. |
Pinout & Package
INA241B3QDRQ1 is packaged in DDF (SOT-23-8), measuring 2.9mm × 2.8mm with 0.65mm pitch. The package supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020 and is qualified for automotive under AEC-Q200.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN− | Current-sense negative input | Connect to load side (high-side) or ground side (low-side); defines current direction polarity for bidirectional output. |
| GND | Ground reference | System ground return for internal bias network; must be low-impedance path to minimize offset error. |
| REF2 | Reference input 2 | Adjusts output common-mode level; tied to GND for unipolar output, or to Vs/2 for bipolar centered output. |
| NC | No-connect | Reserved pin; must be connected to GND per datasheet to ensure stability and EMI immunity. |
| OUT | Analog output | Single-ended voltage output = 50 × (IN+ − IN−) + (REF1 + REF2)/2; drives 10kΩ min load. |
| VS | Power supply | 2.7V–20V analog supply; decoupling capacitor (1µF ceramic) required within 1mm of pin. |
| REF1 | Reference input 1 | Paired with REF2 to set output offset; enables rail-to-rail output swing adjustment independent of sense signal. |
| IN+ | Current-sense positive input | Connect to bus-voltage side (high-side) or load side (low-side); forms differential pair with IN−. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional current sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240B3QDRQ1 | Same 50V/V gain, but lower Grade 1 temp range (−40°C to +125°C); ±200µV max offset; no enhanced PWM rejection circuitry. | Limited to cabin-mounted ECUs or lower-temp inverter locations; requires external filtering for 100kHz+ PWM. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs under-hood temperature or PWM noise requirements. |
| MAX40056ATA+T | 50V/V gain, −5V to 110V common-mode, but only 500kHz bandwidth and 3.5V/µs slew rate; ±125µV offset; no AEC-Q100 Grade 0 rating. | Suitable for non-safety-critical 12V/48V systems; not qualified for engine bay or ASIL-B designs. | Choose for industrial or commercial 48V HEV subsystems where automotive qualification is not mandated. |
Compared with INA240B3QDRQ1 and MAX40056ATA+T, the INA241B3QDRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 0 operation, 1.1MHz bandwidth, and hardware-enhanced PWM rejection - making it the only option for high-fidelity current sensing in next-generation 800V traction inverters requiring <1µs fault response.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA241B3QDRQ1 can withstand continuously?
The INA241B3QDRQ1 has an operational common-mode input range of −5V to +110V, meaning it functions correctly across that span during normal operation. Its survival rating extends to −20V to +120V, allowing brief exposure to transients like load dump or inductive kickback without damage - critical for 48V and 800V automotive systems where such events occur.
Does the INA241B3QDRQ1 require external components for basic operation?
Yes - the INA241B3QDRQ1 requires a 1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed within 1mm of the VS pin, and the NC pin must be connected to GND per TI's layout guidelines. REF1 and REF2 pins must be configured (e.g., tied to GND or Vs/2) to set output common-mode level; no external gain-setting resistors are needed since gain is fixed at 50V/V.
How does the enhanced PWM rejection in the INA241B3QDRQ1 improve system performance?
The INA241B3QDRQ1's enhanced PWM rejection holds its output for 1µs during large common-mode transients (e.g., 125kHz gate-drive edges), then relies on 104dB AC-CMRR at 100kHz to attenuate residual disturbances. This eliminates output ringing and false overcurrent triggers - enabling direct connection to SiC inverter half-bridges without RC filters or digital post-processing delays.
Is the INA241B3QDRQ1 pin-compatible with other devices in the INA241x-Q1 family?
Yes - all INA241x-Q1 variants (A1–A5, B1–B5) share identical pinouts across DDF (SOT-23-8), DGK (VSSOP-8), D (SOIC-8), and DGS (VSSOP-10) packages. The INA241B3QDRQ1 uses the DDF package and is functionally and physically interchangeable with INA241A3QDRQ1 or INA241B3EDRQ1 in the same footprint, differing only in offset, drift, and temperature grade.
What is the typical quiescent current of the INA241B3QDRQ1 and how does it vary with temperature?
The INA241B3QDRQ1 draws 2.5mA typical quiescent current at 25°C, rising to 3.2mA maximum across −40°C to +150°C. This stable, low IQ enables continuous current monitoring in always-on safety subsystems without significant thermal impact - especially valuable in compact EPS modules where board space and heat dissipation are constrained.
