Product details
Overview
INA293A2IDBVT from Texas Instruments is an ultra-precise current sense amplifier designed for high-side or low-side shunt monitoring in 48-V power systems. It delivers 50 V/V fixed gain, ±15 µV typical input offset voltage, 160-dB DC CMRR, and 1.3-MHz bandwidth - enabling accurate, fast-response current measurement in telecom and server PSU protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the INA293A2IDBVT datasheet, INA293A2IDBVT pinout, INA293A2IDBVT application, or INA293A2IDBVT equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOT-23 pin mapping, real-world use cases in 48-V BMS and RRU, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The INA293A2IDBVT employs a transconductance architecture with current-feedback amplification to achieve 20 µA typical input bias current at 110 V common-mode voltage and maintain precision across –4 V to +110 V input range. Its zero-drift topology ensures ±0.05 µV/°C offset drift and <0.15% gain error over –40°C to +125°C.
This variant's 50 V/V gain is implemented via internal matched resistor network (10 kΩ/500 kΩ), eliminating external gain-setting components. Bandwidth remains 1.3 MHz at 50 V/V with 2.5 V/µs slew rate - optimized for fast overcurrent detection in recirculating half-bridge and 48-V rack power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 50 V/V - fixed internal ratio; enables 100-mV full-scale sense voltage for 2-A shunt current, minimizing I²R loss. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±15 µV typical - supports accurate sub-ampere current measurement with 1-mΩ shunt at 48 V. |
| CMRR | 160 dB DC / 85 dB at 50 kHz - rejects noise from noisy 48-V bus while preserving fast transient fidelity. |
| Bandwidth | 1.3 MHz - detects 75-A inrush on 2-mΩ shunt in <2 µs, meeting telecom RRU fast-fault requirements. |
| Common-Mode Range | –4 V to +110 V - operates below ground for bidirectional half-bridge current sensing and above 48 V for macro-RRU supply monitoring. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 20 V - compatible with 3.3-V control logic and 12-V auxiliary rails without level-shifting. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5 mA - enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed BMS without excessive standby drain. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) package: 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body, 5-pin surface-mount, JEDEC MO-178AC compliant. Thermal resistance RθJA = 184.7 °C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OUT | Amplified output | Delivers 50×(VIN+ − VIN−) with rail-to-rail swing (GND + 5 mV to VS − 150 mV); drives 10-kΩ loads directly. |
| 2: GND | Analog ground reference | Return path for internal bias and output stage; must connect to clean system ground near shunt resistor. |
| 3: IN+ | Positive shunt sense input | Connects to high-side of current-sense resistor; accepts up to +110 V common-mode with 20-µA bias. |
| 4: IN− | Negative shunt sense input | Connects to low-side of shunt; supports –4 V operation for recirculating current measurement in half-bridges. |
| 5: VS | Power supply | Single 2.7–20 V supply; powers internal amplifier and output buffer; decoupling capacitor required at pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low offset drift | ±0.05 µV/°C - maintains <100-µV total offset error across –40°C to +125°C, critical for uncalibrated BMS operation. |
| High-speed fault response | 2.5 V/µs slew rate + 1.3-MHz BW - triggers protection within 2 µs for 75-A faults on 2-mΩ shunts in macro-RRUs. |
| Survival voltage rating | –20 V to +120 V - withstands load-dump transients and ESD events without latch-up in 48-V telecom infrastructure. |
| Low input bias current | 20 µA typical at 110 V CM - minimizes measurement error in high-impedance shunt networks used in active antenna systems. |
| Wide supply flexibility | 2.7–20 V operation - allows direct interface with 3.3-V microcontrollers and 12-V fan controllers in server PSUs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA296A2IDBVR | Same 50 V/V gain, but 1.1-MHz BW and 2-V/µs slew rate; ±10 µV max offset (vs. ±80 µV max for INA293A2). | Better offset spec suits high-accuracy calibration-critical BMS; lower BW acceptable for slower PSU telemetry. | Select when tighter initial offset tolerance is prioritized over fastest fault response. |
| MAX40056AUB+T | 50 V/V gain, 1.5-MHz BW, ±12 µV offset, but only –0.2 V to +65 V CM range and requires dual supply. | Not suitable for –4 V half-bridge or >65 V telecom rails; limited to low-side 48-V PSU monitoring. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, single-rail 48-V applications where negative CM and >65 V operation are unnecessary. |
Compared with INA293A2IDBVT, INA296A2IDBVR trades 0.2-MHz bandwidth for guaranteed lower offset, while MAX40056AUB+T offers higher bandwidth but sacrifices common-mode range and supply simplicity - making INA293A2IDBVT optimal for rugged 48-V infrastructure requiring both speed and wide voltage tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA293A2IDBVT can handle during normal operation?
The INA293A2IDBVT operates continuously from –4 V to +110 V common-mode input voltage. This range allows it to monitor current in high-side configurations above 48 V and support recirculating current measurement below ground in half-bridge topologies - a key requirement for macro-RRU and active antenna systems where the INA293A2IDBVT is deployed.
Does the INA293A2IDBVT support bidirectional current sensing?
The INA293A2IDBVT does not support true bidirectional sensing like dedicated bidirectional amplifiers. It measures only the magnitude of current flow across the shunt, with its –4 V to +110 V common-mode range enabling operation in both high-side and low-side configurations - but output polarity remains fixed relative to the shunt orientation. For applications requiring signed current direction, external circuitry or a different device such as the INA229 is required.
What is the typical quiescent current of the INA293A2IDBVT and how does it vary with supply voltage?
The INA293A2IDBVT draws 1.5 mA typical quiescent current at 25°C, rising to 2.25 mA maximum across –40°C to +125°C. It remains stable across its full 2.7–20 V supply range - varying less than ±5% from 2.7 V to 20 V - ensuring predictable power budgeting in 48-V server PSUs and battery-backed BMS designs where the INA293A2IDBVT is commonly integrated.
Can the INA293A2IDBVT be used with a 3.3-V microcontroller ADC without level shifting?
Yes - with proper gain and shunt selection. At 50 V/V gain, the INA293A2IDBVT produces 1.65 V output for 33-mA shunt current (33 mA × 10 mΩ × 50 = 1.65 V), fitting within a 3.3-V ADC's full scale. Its rail-to-rail output swing (down to GND + 5 mV) and 1.5-mA supply current make it directly compatible with 3.3-V systems, eliminating level shifters in 48-V merchant PSU telemetry where the INA293A2IDBVT is routinely applied.
What is the recommended minimum load capacitance for stable operation of the INA293A2IDBVT?
The INA293A2IDBVT is stable driving capacitive loads up to 500 pF without isolation resistors. For loads exceeding 500 pF - such as long PCB traces or ADC input filters - a 10-Ω series resistor at the output is recommended to prevent peaking or oscillation. This stability behavior is verified in TI's SBOS470B datasheet and applies directly to layout-critical applications like 48-V RRU current monitoring where the INA293A2IDBVT is used.
