Product details
Overview
INA241B5IDDFR from Texas Instruments is a bidirectional, ultra-precise current sense amplifier optimized for high-voltage switching systems, featuring 200V/V fixed gain, −5V to 110V operational common-mode range, ±0.1% max gain error, ±150µV max input offset voltage, and enhanced PWM rejection up to 125kHz - deployed in motor drive inline current monitoring where precision under fast transients is critical.
For engineers reviewing the INA241B5IDDFR datasheet, INA241B5IDDFR pinout, INA241B5IDDFR application, or INA241B5IDDFR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOT-23-8 package mapping, real-world use cases in cordless power tools and drone propulsion, and validated alternative options with documented technical differences.
Technical Context
The INA241B5IDDFR employs a zero-drift, multistage amplifier architecture enabling 1.1MHz bandwidth at all gains while maintaining 8V/µs slew rate and 1µs 1% settling time. Its enhanced PWM rejection circuitry actively suppresses common-mode transients by holding output for 1µs during large ΔV/Δt events, then leveraging high AC-CMRR (89dB at 1MHz) for residual attenuation.
It operates from 2.7V–20V supply with 2.5mA quiescent current, supports bidirectional sensing via dual reference pins (REF1/REF2), and achieves input-referred voltage noise of 28nV/√Hz at 200V/V gain - all specified across −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 200V/V - sets full-scale output to 2V for 10mV shunt drop, enabling high-resolution low-current measurement with minimal shunt power loss. |
| Common-mode range | −5V to 110V operational - supports high-side, low-side, and inline sensing in 48V/60V industrial bus systems without level-shifting. |
| Gain error | ±0.1% max - ensures <±2mV absolute error at 2V output, critical for closed-loop current regulation accuracy. |
| Input offset voltage | ±150µV max - limits worst-case measurement error to ±0.75mV at 200V/V gain, preserving sub-ampere resolution with 5mΩ shunt. |
| Bandwidth | 1.1MHz - captures fast overcurrent events (e.g., MOSFET short-circuit rise times <300ns) without phase lag. |
| PWM rejection | Up to 125kHz - suppresses switching noise from BLDC motor gate drivers, eliminating false trip signals in real-time protection circuits. |
| Supply voltage | 2.7V to 20V - compatible with 3.3V microcontroller ADC references and 12V/15V system rails without external regulators. |
Pinout & Package
INA241B5IDDFR is housed in an 8-pin SOT-23 (DDF) package measuring 2.9mm × 2.8mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable power tools and drone ESC modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN− (Pin 1) | Negative current-sense input | Connects to load side of shunt in high-side config or ground side in low-side config; withstands −20V to 120V survival voltage. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | System ground return for supply and reference network; not isolated - must tie to PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
| REF2 (Pin 3) | Reference voltage input | One half of internal divider; tied to GND for unidirectional output or to VS for mid-supply bias in bidirectional mode. |
| NC (Pin 4) | No-connect terminal | Internally reserved; must be connected to GND per datasheet to ensure stable operation and EMI performance. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Analog output | Single-ended voltage output scaled by 200× VSENSE plus (REF1+REF2)/2; swings within 20mV of GND and 200mV below VS. |
| VS (Pin 6) | Power supply | Accepts 2.7V–20V; powers internal amplifiers and reference circuitry; bypass capacitor required at pin for transient immunity. |
| REF1 (Pin 7) | Reference voltage input | Second half of internal divider; paired with REF2 to set output common-mode; matched to REF2 for <±0.01% divider error. |
| IN+ (Pin 8) | Positive current-sense input | Connects to bus-voltage side of shunt in high-side config or load side in low-side config; shares same CMV rating as IN−. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Enhanced PWM rejection | 1µs output hold + 89dB AC-CMRR at 1MHz - eliminates false overcurrent triggers during 100kHz BLDC commutation edges. |
| Zero-drift topology | ±0.5µV/°C offset drift - maintains <±1.25mV total offset error over −40°C to +125°C, enabling calibration-free operation in automotive under-hood environments. |
| Constant input bias current | 35µA typical, independent of common-mode voltage - avoids gain error shift when sensing across 110V bus, unlike competitive amplifiers with CMV-dependent bias. |
| Bidirectional output configuration | REF1/REF2 pins enable programmable output centering - allows direct interface to 0–3.3V SAR ADCs without external op-amps or level shifters. |
| Low-noise 200V/V gain | 28nV/√Hz input-referred noise - preserves signal integrity when using 1mΩ shunts for 0–50A measurement ranges in medical cordless tools. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A5IDR | Same 200V/V gain, but ±0.2% gain error (vs. ±0.1%), ±200µV offset (vs. ±150µV), no enhanced PWM rejection circuitry. | Lacks 125kHz PWM suppression - unsuitable for BLDC motor drives with fast-edge gate drivers; better for steady-state DC loads. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs transient immunity needs and system CMV transients remain <50kHz. |
| MAX40056ASA+ | 200V/V gain, ±0.3% gain error, 1.5MHz bandwidth, but only −0.2V to 65V CMV range and no REF1/REF2 flexibility. | Cannot support >65V bus voltages or true bidirectional output centering - limited to low-voltage unidirectional applications. | Choose only for 24V/48V systems requiring marginally higher bandwidth and where mid-supply output bias is unnecessary. |
Compared with INA241B5IDDFR, INA240A5IDR trades PWM robustness for lower cost in static current monitoring, while MAX40056ASA+ sacrifices common-mode range and reference flexibility to achieve slightly higher bandwidth - neither matches the combined 110V CMV, 125kHz PWM rejection, and programmable output centering of INA241B5IDDFR.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA241B5IDDFR can withstand during operation?
The INA241B5IDDFR supports an operational common-mode voltage range of −5V to 110V. Its survival rating extends to −20V to 120V, meaning it can tolerate brief transients beyond operational limits without damage. This enables reliable use in 48V and 60V industrial buses, including high-side configurations where the shunt sits between bus voltage and load.
Does the INA241B5IDDFR require external components for stable operation?
Yes - the INA241B5IDDFR requires a 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitor between VS (Pin 6) and GND (Pin 2), placed within 2mm of the pins. Additionally, NC (Pin 4) must be connected to GND. No external gain-setting resistors are needed since gain is fixed at 200V/V, and no compensation network is required due to internal unity-gain stability.
How does the enhanced PWM rejection feature function in the INA241B5IDDFR?
The INA241B5IDDFR implements a two-stage PWM rejection mechanism: first, it holds the output constant for 1µs upon detecting a large common-mode edge; second, it relies on 89dB AC-CMRR at 1MHz to attenuate residual transients occurring >3µs later. This design suppresses disturbances from 100kHz motor gate drivers, ensuring clean current waveforms reach the MCU ADC without post-processing filtering.
Can the INA241B5IDDFR be used for bidirectional current sensing without additional circuitry?
Yes - the INA241B5IDDFR natively supports bidirectional sensing via its REF1 and REF2 pins. Connecting REF1 to VS and REF2 to GND centers the output at VS/2, allowing positive and negative VSENSE to produce outputs above and below mid-supply. This eliminates need for external op-amps or level shifters when interfacing with single-supply ADCs.
What is the input-referred voltage noise of the INA241B5IDDFR at its 200V/V gain setting?
The INA241B5IDDFR exhibits 28nV/√Hz input-referred voltage noise at 200V/V gain, measured at 1kHz. This low noise floor enables accurate measurement of small shunt voltages (e.g., 1mV across a 1mΩ resistor), supporting high-resolution current sensing down to ±25mA with 12-bit ADCs - essential for battery fuel gauging in medical cordless tools.
