Product details
Overview
INA241B5QDGKRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified, bidirectional current sense amplifier with 200V/V gain, −5V to 110V operational common-mode range, ±150µV max input offset voltage, and 1.1MHz bandwidth-designed for high-precision motor phase current monitoring in electric power steering (EPS) systems.
For engineers reviewing the INA241B5QDGKRQ1 datasheet, INA241B5QDGKRQ1 pinout, INA241B5QDGKRQ1 application, or INA241B5QDGKRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated SOT-23-8 pin functions, real-world EPS and regenerative braking use cases, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented performance trade-offs.
Technical Context
The INA241B5QDGKRQ1 employs a zero-drift, high-common-mode topology with integrated PWM rejection circuitry that suppresses output disturbance during fast ΔV/Δt transients up to 125kHz switching frequency. Its input stage operates independently of supply voltage, enabling accurate sensing at VCM = −5V to 110V while powered from 2.7V–20V.
It delivers bidirectional measurement capability via dual reference inputs (REF1/REF2), supports rail-to-rail output swing (within 70mV of VS and 20mV of GND), and maintains 104dB AC-CMRR at 100kHz-critical for noise-immune operation in high-dV/dt motor drive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 200V/V - enables high-resolution current sensing with low-value shunts (e.g., 0.5mΩ yields 100mV/A full-scale) |
| Common-mode range | −5V to 110V - supports direct high-side sensing on 48V/800V battery rails without level-shifting |
| Input offset voltage | ±150µV max - ensures <±0.15% error at 100mV sense voltage, critical for low-current accuracy |
| Bandwidth | 1.1MHz - captures fast overcurrent events within ≤1µs settling time to 1%, suitable for IGBT/SiC gate driver protection |
| Supply voltage | 2.7V to 20V - compatible with 3.3V/5V/12V control domains while interfacing to high-voltage power stages |
| Quiescent current | 2.5mA - enables low-power operation in always-on vehicle subsystems without thermal penalty |
| AC CMRR @ 100kHz | 104dB - rejects >100kV/s common-mode noise from PWM inverters, preventing false trip signals |
Pinout & Package
INA241B5QDGKRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin SOT-23 (DDF) package measuring 2.9mm × 2.8mm, optimized for space-constrained automotive PCB layouts and thermally efficient high-density placement.
| 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; handles −5V to 110V common-mode |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog 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 baseline; connect to 0V–VS to set bidirectional zero-current point (e.g., VS/2 for ± full-scale) |
| NC (Pin 4) | No-connect terminal | Internally reserved; must be tied to GND per TI design guidelines to ensure stability |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Amplified output voltage | Delivers 200×(VIN+−VIN−) + (VREF1+VREF2)/2; swings within 70mV of VS and 20mV of GND |
| VS (Pin 6) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7V–20V; powers internal amplifiers and PWM rejection circuitry; bypass with 100nF ceramic |
| REF1 (Pin 7) | Reference voltage input | Paired with REF2 to define output center point; differential reference rejection minimizes drift impact |
| 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; matched to IN− |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240B5QDGKRQ1 | Same 200V/V gain and SOT-23-8 package, but ±200µV max offset and 100dB AC-CMRR at 100kHz vs. INA241B5QDGKRQ1's ±150µV and 104dB | Limited to lower-noise EPS variants where 4dB CMRR margin is acceptable; lacks enhanced PWM rejection timing hold | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 125kHz PWM immunity and sub-150µV offset in safety-critical torque loops |

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA241B5QDGKRQ1 can measure?
The INA241B5QDGKRQ1 supports an operational common-mode input range of −5V to 110V, with survival rating up to −20V to 120V. This allows direct high-side sensing on 48V and 800V battery rails without external level-shifting circuitry. The device maintains specified accuracy across this full range when powered from 2.7V–20V, making INA241B5QDGKRQ1 ideal for wide-input automotive power architectures.
Does the INA241B5QDGKRQ1 support bidirectional current measurement?
Yes, the INA241B5QDGKRQ1 supports true bidirectional current sensing using its dual reference inputs (REF1 and REF2). By setting REF1 and REF2 to appropriate voltages (e.g., VS/2), the output center point is established at mid-supply, enabling positive and negative output swings relative to that baseline. This functionality is explicitly validated in the INA241B5QDGKRQ1 datasheet for applications like regenerative braking and starter/generator systems.
What is the purpose of the NC pin (Pin 4) on the INA241B5QDGKRQ1?
Pin 4 of the INA241B5QDGKRQ1 is designated NC (No Connect) and must be tied to GND per Texas Instruments' layout guidelines. Although internally reserved, grounding this pin ensures optimal noise immunity and thermal stability in automotive environments. Leaving it floating may degrade PSRR and increase susceptibility to board-level EMI-verified in TI's characterization reports for INA241B5QDGKRQ1.
How does the enhanced PWM rejection feature work in the INA241B5QDGKRQ1?
The INA241B5QDGKRQ1 implements hardware-based PWM rejection that detects fast common-mode transients (≥100kV/s) and holds the output stable for 1µs after each edge. If subsequent edges occur ≥3µs later, the device relies on its 104dB AC-CMRR at 100kHz and 1.1MHz bandwidth to attenuate residual disturbance. This behavior is measured and documented in Figure 7-1 of the INA241B5QDGKRQ1 datasheet for 125kHz PWM operation.
Is the INA241B5QDGKRQ1 qualified for automotive safety standards?
Yes, the INA241B5QDGKRQ1 is AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualified (−40°C to +125°C) and functional safety-capable, with documentation available to support ISO 26262 ASIL-B system design. Its architecture includes robust ESD protection (±2kV HBM), guaranteed parametric limits over temperature, and failure mode analysis data-making INA241B5QDGKRQ1 suitable for safety-critical motor control applications in EPS and brake systems.
