Product details
Overview
INA284AIDR from Texas Instruments is a zero-drift, high-accuracy bidirectional current shunt monitor IC with 500 V/V fixed gain, –14 V to +80 V wide common-mode input range, ±20 µV max offset voltage, and 140 dB CMRR. It operates from a single 2.7 V to 18 V supply and draws ≤900 µA quiescent current, enabling precision low-side and high-side current sensing in telecom power supplies and solar inverter DC-link monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the INA284AIDR datasheet, INA284AIDR pinout, INA284AIDR application, or INA284AIDR equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, SOIC-8 package mapping, real-world use-value metrics (e.g., 10 mV full-scale shunt drop capability), and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The INA284AIDR uses a switched-capacitor zero-drift architecture to achieve ±20 µV offset and 0.3 µV/°C drift over –40°C to +125°C, enabling accurate measurement of sub-100 mV shunt voltages. Its differential input stage supports bidirectional sensing with independent reference inputs (REF1/REF2) that set output quiescent level between GND and V+.
Common-mode rejection is maintained at ≥120 dB across temperature via chopper-stabilized topology, while effective bandwidth is limited to 4 kHz due to discrete-time sampling behavior-critical for stable response in fast-switching power converters. Input protection tolerates –14 V battery reversal and +80 V transients without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 500 V/V - Enables precise amplification of 10–20 mV shunt drops to 5–10 V output range for 12-bit ADC interfacing |
| Common-Mode Range | –14 V to +80 V - Supports direct connection to high-voltage bus rails (e.g., 48 V telecom, 60 V solar MPPT) without level-shifting |
| Offset Voltage (max) | ±20 µV - Allows <1% error at 10 mV full-scale shunt voltage, reducing power loss vs. conventional 100 mV designs |
| CMRR (min) | 120 dB - Rejects >100 V common-mode noise on shunt while preserving µV-level differential signal integrity |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 18 V - Operates from single low-voltage rail (e.g., 3.3 V MCU supply) while monitoring high-voltage systems |
| Quiescent Current | 900 µA max - Enables always-on current monitoring in battery-backed or energy-sensitive industrial controllers |
| Bandwidth | 4 kHz - Matches switching frequencies of 10–20 kHz DC-DC converters and solar inverters without aliasing |
Pinout & Package
INA284AIDR is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D) body measuring 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, with exposed pad not present and RoHS-compliant lead finish. Pin functions are validated per TI SBOS485C Rev C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: –IN | Analog input | Connects to load side of shunt resistor; accepts common-mode voltages down to –14 V |
| 2: GND | Analog ground | Reference node for internal circuitry; must be tied to system analog ground plane |
| 3: REF2 | Analog reference input | One half of differential reference pair; sets output quiescent level when used with REF1 |
| 4: NC | No connect | Internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND for mechanical stability |
| 5: OUT | Analog output | Voltage output proportional to shunt voltage × 500; swing within 170 mV of rails at 10 kΩ load |
| 6: V+ | Power supply | Single positive supply input (2.7–18 V); powers internal amplifier and reference circuitry |
| 7: REF1 | Analog reference input | Second half of differential reference pair; matched to REF2 for precise mid-rail or custom biasing |
| 8: +IN | Analog input | Connects to supply side of shunt resistor; completes differential sensing path with –IN |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-drift architecture | ±20 µV max offset and 0.3 µV/°C drift enable stable 10 mV full-scale current sensing over –40°C to +125°C |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current shunt monitor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA285AIDR | 1000 V/V gain, 2 kHz bandwidth, ±10 µV typical offset | Better suited for ultra-low shunt voltages (<5 mV); lower bandwidth limits use in >15 kHz switching converters | Select INA285AIDR when measuring sub-5 mV shunt drops where gain outweighs speed requirements |
| INA283AIDR | 200 V/V gain, 10 kHz bandwidth, ±30 µV max offset | Higher bandwidth supports faster control loops; higher offset requires larger shunt for same accuracy | Choose INA283AIDR for 20–50 mV shunt designs needing >5 kHz response in motor drive or UPS applications |
Compared with INA284AIDR, INA285AIDR provides higher gain for microvolt-level sensing but sacrifices bandwidth, while INA283AIDR trades gain for speed and relaxed offset tolerance-making each optimal for distinct shunt voltage and loop-speed constraints.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA284AIDR can handle?
The INA284AIDR supports a common-mode input voltage range of –14 V to +80 V, verified per TI SBOS485C Absolute Maximum Ratings. This allows direct connection to high-voltage rails such as 48 V telecom buses or 60 V solar DC links without external level-shifting circuitry. Operation beyond these limits risks permanent damage and is not supported.
Does the INA284AIDR require external calibration for offset error?
No, the INA284AIDR does not require external calibration-the zero-drift architecture achieves ±20 µV max offset voltage and 0.3 µV/°C drift over –40°C to +125°C without user intervention. This eliminates factory trim steps and ensures stable performance across temperature and time, unlike non-chopper amplifiers that drift significantly over life.
Can the INA284AIDR measure bidirectional current, and how is it configured?
Yes, the INA284AIDR supports bidirectional current sensing by setting the output quiescent voltage using REF1 and REF2 pins. Connecting both to V+/2 establishes mid-rail zero-current output; applying asymmetric voltages enables nonsymmetrical current ranges. This configuration is detailed in Section 7.4.1.2 of the INA284AIDR datasheet.
What package type is used for the INA284AIDR, and is it RoHS compliant?
The INA284AIDR is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with nominal dimensions 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm and lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish. Thermal data (RθJA = 134.9°C/W) and mechanical drawings are provided in TI's SBOS485C datasheet Package Option Addendum.
How does the INA284AIDR's 4 kHz bandwidth affect its use in switching power supplies?
The INA284AIDR's 4 kHz effective bandwidth is optimized for stable current sensing in DC-DC converters and inverters operating below 10 kHz switching frequency. It avoids aliasing from high-order harmonics while providing sufficient step response (≤15 µs recovery from CM transients) for closed-loop control in telecom rectifiers and solar MPPT stages.
