Product details
Overview
INA293A3IDBVR from Texas Instruments is an ultra-precise current sense amplifier designed for high-side or low-side shunt monitoring in 48-V industrial and telecom power systems. It delivers 100 V/V fixed gain, ±10 µV (max) input offset voltage, 160-dB DC CMRR, and 1.3-MHz bandwidth - enabling accurate, fast-response current measurement in macro remote radio units and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the INA293A3IDBVR datasheet, INA293A3IDBVR pinout, INA293A3IDBVR application, or INA293A3IDBVR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOT-23 package details, functional pin roles, real-world use cases in 48-V BMS and RRU, and two validated alternative parts with documented technical differences.
Technical Context
The INA293A3IDBVR uses a transconductance architecture with current-feedback amplification to achieve 20 µA typical input bias current at 110 V common-mode voltage and supports unidirectional current sensing only. Its zero-drift topology ensures ±0.05 µV/°C offset drift and <0.15% gain error across –40°C to +125°C.
It operates from 2.7 V to 20 V supply, delivers rail-to-rail output swing (within 70 mV of VS and 5 mV of GND), and maintains 1000 kHz bandwidth at its 100 V/V gain setting - optimized for fast overcurrent detection in 48-V server PSUs and active antenna systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 100 V/V - fixed internal resistor ratio enables precise scaling of 10-mV shunt drops to 1-V output for ADC interfacing. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±10 µV (max) - ensures ≤0.1% error at 10-mV sense voltage, critical for low-current BMS monitoring. |
| DC CMRR | 160 dB - rejects 100-V common-mode noise to <100-nV level, essential in noisy 48-V rack environments. |
| Bandwidth | 1000 kHz - supports sub-2-µs response to 75-A inrush on 2-mΩ shunt, meeting fast OCP timing in RRUs. |
| Common-Mode Range | –4 V to +110 V - allows operation below ground for recirculating current measurement in half-bridge motor drives. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.5 mA - enables always-on current monitoring in power-constrained 48-V merchant PSUs without thermal penalty. |
| Slew Rate | 2.5 V/µs - sustains linear output during rapid load transients, preventing false overcurrent triggers. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 (DBV) 5-pin package, 2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size, rated for –40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OUT | Amplified output | Delivers 100× (VIN+ − VIN−); swings within 70 mV of VS and 5 mV of GND under load. |
| 2: GND | Analog ground reference | Return path for internal bias and output stage; must be connected to system power ground plane. |
| 3: IN+ | Positive shunt sense input | Connects to high-side of current-sense resistor; 20-µA bias current minimizes error in high-impedance paths. |
| 4: IN− | Negative shunt sense input | Connects to low-side of shunt; differential input accepts up to ±12-V sense voltage at 100 V/V gain. |
| 5: Vs | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7–20 V; powers internal amplifier and output buffer; decoupling capacitor required per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low offset drift | ±0.05 µV/°C - maintains calibration stability across automotive-grade temperature range without recalibration. |
| Survival voltage rating | –20 V to +120 V - withstands transient overvoltage events in 48-V telecom infrastructure without latch-up. |
| High AC CMRR | 85 dB at 50 kHz - suppresses switching noise from adjacent buck converters in dense PSU layouts. |
| Low input bias current | 20 µA typical at 110 V CM - reduces voltage error across high-value shunts used in low-power IoT sensor nodes. |
| Fast settling time | 10 µs to 0.5% - meets real-time protection requirements in 5G base station power rails. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A3IDR | 100 V/V gain, 800-kHz bandwidth, ±20-µV offset (max), 2.4-V/µs slew rate | Lower bandwidth limits response to <5-µs transients; higher offset increases low-current error | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs need for sub-2-µs OCP in RRUs |
| LT6106IMS5#TRPBF | 100 V/V gain, 1-MHz bandwidth, ±150-µV offset (max), 0.4-V/µs slew rate, no negative CM capability | Lacks –4-V common-mode support; unsuitable for half-bridge recirculation current sensing | Valid for high-side-only 48-V PSU monitoring where negative CM is not required |
Compared with INA293A3IDBVR, INA240A3IDR trades 300-kHz bandwidth and 10-µV offset for lower cost and wider availability, while LT6106IMS5#TRPBF offers comparable gain but lacks negative CM operation and has significantly slower transient response - making INA293A3IDBVR uniquely suited for fast, bidirectional, ultra-precise 48-V current sensing.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA293A3IDBVR can withstand during normal operation?
The INA293A3IDBVR operates continuously over a common-mode input range of –4 V to +110 V. Its survival rating extends to –20 V to +120 V, allowing it to tolerate brief transients beyond operational limits without damage - a key requirement in 48-V telecom power rails subject to lightning-induced surges.
Does the INA293A3IDBVR support bidirectional current sensing?
No, the INA293A3IDBVR operates in unidirectional mode only, measuring current flowing from power supply to load. However, its –4-V common-mode capability enables accurate measurement of recirculating current in half-bridge topologies when the shunt is placed on the low side.
What is the typical quiescent current of the INA293A3IDBVR at 5 V supply?
The INA293A3IDBVR draws 1.5 mA typical quiescent current at 5 V supply, rising to 2.25 mA maximum across –40°C to +125°C. This low power consumption supports always-on monitoring in energy-sensitive 48-V server and BMS applications without compromising thermal performance.
Can the INA293A3IDBVR be used with a 24-V supply rail?
Yes - the INA293A3IDBVR supports supply voltages from 2.7 V to 20 V. A 24-V rail exceeds its absolute maximum rating of 22 V and is not permitted; use a regulated 12-V or 15-V supply derived from the 24-V source to ensure safe operation of the INA293A3IDBVR.
How does the 100-V/V gain of the INA293A3IDBVR affect shunt resistor selection?
With 100-V/V gain, the INA293A3IDBVR converts a 10-mV differential shunt voltage into a 1-V output - ideal for direct interface with 1-V full-scale ADCs. For a 10-A max current, a 1-mΩ shunt yields 10-mV drop and 0.1-W dissipation, balancing accuracy, size, and thermal load in compact 48-V systems.
