Product details
Overview
INA241B5QDRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (−40°C to 125°C) 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 and regenerative braking systems.
For engineers reviewing the INA241B5QDRQ1 datasheet, INA241B5QDRQ1 pinout, INA241B5QDRQ1 application, or INA241B5QDRQ1 equivalent, key selection criteria include PWM rejection up to 125kHz, 8V/µs slew rate, 1µs 1% settling time, ±0.1% gain error, and SOT23-8 package compatibility with high-density automotive PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The INA241B5QDRQ1 employs a zero-drift, multistage amplifier architecture with integrated enhanced PWM rejection circuitry that holds output for 1µs during large ΔV/Δt common-mode transients - enabling accurate current measurement in fast-switching motor drives. Its input stage operates independently of supply voltage, supporting common-mode voltages beyond VS (up to 110V).
It features dual reference inputs (REF1/REF2) for flexible output level shifting across 0V to VS, supports bidirectional sensing via differential input polarity reversal, and maintains 104dB AC-CMRR at 100kHz - critical for rejecting noise in high-dV/dt automotive inverters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 200V/V - enables ±2.5mV full-scale shunt voltage to produce 0.5V–4.5V output swing for 12-bit ADC interfacing |
| Common-mode range | −5V to 110V - supports direct high-side sensing on 48V/800V battery rails without level-shifting circuitry |
| Input offset voltage | ±150µV max - ensures ≤0.075% error at 2A through 1mΩ shunt at room temperature |
| Bandwidth | 1.1MHz - captures >500kHz current harmonics in eTurbo inverter switching waveforms |
| Slew rate | 8V/µs - prevents distortion during 10A/µs transient load steps in starter/generator control loops |
| Supply voltage | 2.7V to 20V - compatible with 3.3V/5V/12V automotive domain controllers and isolated supplies |
| Quiescent current | 2.5mA - enables low-power always-on monitoring in ASIL-B safety-critical subsystems |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-8 package (2.9mm × 2.8mm), thermally enhanced for automotive under-hood operation; pin-compatible with industry-standard current sense amplifiers in same footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN− (Pin 1) | Negative current-sense input | Connect to load side in high-side sensing or ground side in low-side sensing; handles −5V to 110V CM voltage |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog ground reference | System ground return for internal bias network; must be star-connected to minimize ground bounce in PWM systems |
| REF2 (Pin 3) | Reference voltage input 2 | Adjusts output common-mode level; tied to 0V for unipolar output or VS/2 for bipolar operation |
| NC (Pin 4) | No-connect terminal | Internally reserved; must be connected to GND per TI layout guidelines to suppress EMI coupling |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Amplified output | Rail-to-rail capable (VS − 0.2V min); drives 10kΩ loads directly into SAR ADC inputs |
| VS (Pin 6) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7V–20V; requires local 100nF + 10µF decoupling adjacent to pin for PWM rejection integrity |
| REF1 (Pin 7) | Reference voltage input 1 | Paired with REF2 to set output offset; differential REF1–REF2 defines output zero-current baseline |
| IN+ (Pin 8) | Positive current-sense input | Connect to bus-voltage side in high-side sensing or load side in low-side sensing; matched to IN− for CMRR |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A5QDRQ1 | Lower precision: ±500µV offset, ±0.3% gain error, no enhanced PWM rejection | Targeted at cost-sensitive 12V EPS modules where 125kHz PWM rejection is not required | Select when budget constraints outweigh need for 1µs transient immunity and <0.1% gain accuracy |
| MAX40056ATA+T | Wider supply range (2.7V–60V), but only 700kHz BW and no AEC-Q100 Grade 1 rating | Suitable for industrial servo drives, not qualified for automotive under-hood deployment | Choose for non-automotive 48V systems requiring higher supply headroom but lower bandwidth tolerance |
Compared with INA241B5QDRQ1, INA240A5QDRQ1 trades PWM rejection and offset performance for lower cost, while MAX40056ATA+T offers extended supply range at the expense of automotive qualification and bandwidth - making INA241B5QDRQ1 the only option meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 1, 1.1MHz BW, and 125kHz PWM rejection simultaneously.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA241B5QDRQ1 can withstand during operation?
The INA241B5QDRQ1 has an operational common-mode input range of −5V to 110V, meaning it functions correctly with input voltages in that span regardless of supply voltage. Its survival rating extends to −20V to 120V, allowing brief exposure to transients beyond operational limits without damage. This enables direct high-side sensing on 48V and 800V EV battery rails when used with appropriate external protection.
Does the INA241B5QDRQ1 support bidirectional current measurement?
Yes, the INA241B5QDRQ1 supports true bidirectional current sensing using a single shunt resistor. Its input architecture allows polarity reversal of the differential sense voltage (VIN+ − VIN−) to represent current flow direction. When paired with REF1/REF2 pins biased at mid-supply, it delivers a bipolar output (e.g., 0.5V to 4.5V centered at 2.5V) - enabling detection of both motoring and regenerative current in starter/generator and brake systems.
How does the enhanced PWM rejection feature work in the INA241B5QDRQ1?
The INA241B5QDRQ1 implements proprietary circuitry that detects large common-mode dV/dt transients (>100V/µs) and holds its output stable for 1µs, preventing propagation of switching noise to downstream ADCs. For subsequent transients spaced ≥3µs apart, its 104dB AC-CMRR at 100kHz and 1.1MHz bandwidth provide additional attenuation. This dual-stage rejection enables reliable operation up to 125kHz PWM frequencies in EPS and eTurbo inverters.
What package type is used for the INA241B5QDRQ1, and why is it suitable for automotive applications?
The INA241B5QDRQ1 uses the DDF (SOT23-8) package - a 2.9mm × 2.8mm thermally enhanced surface-mount outline with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation. Its small footprint supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained automotive ECUs, while its qualified construction meets AEC-Q100 mechanical stress and thermal cycling requirements for under-hood deployment up to 125°C ambient.
Can the INA241B5QDRQ1 be used with a 3.3V microcontroller ADC?
Yes, the INA241B5QDRQ1 is fully compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers. With its 2.7V to 20V supply range and rail-to-rail output (minimum swing to VS − 0.2V), it delivers a clean 0.5V–3.1V output signal when powered from 3.3V - matching the full input range of typical 12-bit SAR ADCs. Its 2.5mA quiescent current also aligns with low-power MCU domain requirements.
