Product details
Overview
INA296B1IDR from Texas Instruments is a bidirectional, ultra-precise current sense amplifier optimized for 48V systems, featuring 10V/V fixed gain, −5V to 110V common-mode input range, 1.1MHz bandwidth, 8V/µs slew rate, and ±150µV max input offset voltage. It enables high-speed overcurrent detection in DC/DC converters and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the INA296B1IDR datasheet, INA296B1IDR pinout, INA296B1IDR application, or INA296B1IDR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options - all aligned with TI's SBOSA04D production data sheet (Dec 2024).
Technical Context
The INA296B1IDR employs a zero-drift, precision topology enabling stable operation across −40°C to +125°C while maintaining ±0.1% max gain error and ±5ppm/°C drift. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages exceeding supply rails (−5V to 110V), decoupling sensing accuracy from VS (2.7V–20V).
It delivers bidirectional output via dual reference pins (REF1/REF2), allowing mid-supply (±VSENSE × 10) or rail-referenced configurations. With 35µA typical input bias current independent of VCM and 1µs 1% settling time, it supports fast transient response in protection-critical 48V power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 10V/V - sets output = 10 × (VIN+ − VIN−); enables use with low-value shunts (e.g., 0.5mΩ at 100A yields 500mV full-scale) |
| Common-mode range | −5V to 110V - supports high-side, low-side, and inline sensing in 48V/60V bus systems without level-shifting |
| Bandwidth | 1.1MHz - ensures accurate capture of fast current transients (e.g., MOSFET switching edges, OCP triggers) |
| Input offset voltage | ±150µV max - limits measurement error to ≤15µA at 0.1Ω shunt; critical for low-current standby monitoring |
| Slew rate | 8V/µs - sustains linear output response during 100mV/12.5ns input steps, avoiding distortion in pulse-width modulated loads |
| Supply range | 2.7V to 20V - powers from local LDOs in multi-rail systems; output swing stays within 20mV–200mV of rails |
| Quiescent current | 2.5mA - enables integration into always-on monitoring paths without excessive power overhead |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-8 package (DDF), 2.9mm × 2.8mm footprint, thermally enhanced for high-density 48V PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN− (Pin 1) | Negative current-sense input | Connects to load side (high-side) or ground side (low-side) of shunt; defines differential polarity |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | System ground return for internal circuitry; must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling |
| REF2 (Pin 3) | Reference voltage input | One half of adjustable output offset network; paired with REF1 to set mid-point output baseline |
| NC (Pin 4) | No-connect terminal | Internally reserved; must be tied to GND per datasheet to ensure stability and EMI performance |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Analog output | Single-ended voltage output = 10×(VIN+−VIN−) + (REF1+REF2)/2; drives 10kΩ min load |
| VS (Pin 6) | Power supply | 2.7V–20V analog supply; powers internal amplifiers and reference network; bypass with 100nF ceramic |
| REF1 (Pin 7) | Reference voltage input | Second half of offset control; identical function to REF2; both pins used together for bidirectional centering |
| IN+ (Pin 8) | Positive current-sense input | Connects to bus-voltage side (high-side) or load side (low-side); completes differential sensing path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional sensing | Output swings above/below mid-supply based on current direction; eliminates need for external op-amp inversion |
| High CMRR (130dB min) | Rejects >99.99% of 48V bus ripple at 50kHz, ensuring clean current readout in noisy switch-mode environments |
| Fixed 10V/V gain | Eliminates external gain-setting resistors; guarantees traceable accuracy without layout-induced tolerance drift |
| 1µs 1% settling | Enables cycle-by-cycle current limiting in 500kHz+ DC/DC controllers; meets fast OCP timing budgets |
| −20V to 120V survival rating | Withstands load-dump transients and hot-swap surges in telecom and server PSUs without latch-up or damage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA293B1IDBVR | Same 10V/V gain, but 85dB CMRR (vs. 130dB), 200µV max offset, 450kHz bandwidth | Limited to lower-noise, lower-speed 48V applications (e.g., non-critical telemetry); not suitable for fast OCP | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs precision and speed requirements in non-safety-critical monitoring |
| MAX40056ATA+T | 10V/V gain, 120dB CMRR, 125µV max offset, 1.5MHz bandwidth, but only −0.1V to 65V VCM range | Cannot support negative common-mode (e.g., reverse-current fault detection) or >65V bus operation | Choose for higher-bandwidth needs in strictly positive 48V–60V systems where extended VCM is unnecessary |
Compared with INA296B1IDR, INA293B1IDBVR trades 45dB CMRR and 650kHz bandwidth for lower cost, while MAX40056ATA+T extends bandwidth by 400kHz but sacrifices −5V to 110V bidirectional VCM capability - making INA296B1IDR uniquely suited for robust, wide-range 48V infrastructure monitoring.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA296B1IDR can withstand during normal operation?
The INA296B1IDR operates continuously across a common-mode input range of −5V to 110V, independent of its 2.7V–20V supply voltage. This allows direct connection to 48V, 60V, or even 100V bus lines without external attenuation or isolation. Its survival rating extends to −20V to 120V, covering transient events like load dump or hot-swap surges. The INA296B1IDR maintains specified performance throughout this full operational range.
How does the INA296B1IDR achieve bidirectional current sensing without external components?
The INA296B1IDR achieves true bidirectional sensing using its dual reference inputs (REF1 and REF2). When REF1 is tied to VS and REF2 to GND, the output centers at VS/2. Positive current produces an output above VS/2; negative current pulls it below. This eliminates external op-amps or level-shifters. The INA296B1IDR's internal architecture ensures matched gain and offset across both directions, with no added latency or error sources.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage specification for the INA296B1IDR over temperature?
The INA296B1IDR has a maximum input offset voltage of ±150µV at room temperature, with a worst-case drift of ±0.5µV/°C over −40°C to +125°C. This results in a total offset envelope of ±210µV across the full temperature range. This specification is production-tested and guaranteed per TI's SBOSA04D datasheet, enabling accurate low-current measurements (e.g., <1A at 1mΩ) even in thermally demanding server or telecom environments.
Can the INA296B1IDR drive standard SAR ADC inputs directly?
Yes - the INA296B1IDR's output drives 10kΩ loads with rail-to-rail swing (within 20mV of GND and 200mV of VS), matching typical SAR ADC input requirements. Its 1.1MHz bandwidth and 1µs settling time ensure fidelity for sampling rates up to 500ksps. For optimal SNR, pair with a 100Ω series resistor and 1nF capacitor at the ADC input to limit noise bandwidth without degrading step response. The INA296B1IDR's low 36nV/√Hz input noise further preserves dynamic range.
Does the INA296B1IDR require external gain-setting resistors or calibration?
No - the INA296B1IDR integrates a laser-trimmed, fixed 10V/V gain amplifier. Its ±0.1% max gain error and ±5ppm/°C drift are factory-characterized and do not require external resistors, trimming, or system-level calibration. This simplifies layout, improves long-term stability, and eliminates resistor tolerance and thermal drift errors. All specifications for the INA296B1IDR - including offset, CMRR, and bandwidth - are guaranteed without user adjustment.
