Product details
Overview
INA296B1QDDFRQ1 from Texas Instruments is an AEC-Q100 Grade 1 automotive-qualified, bidirectional current sense amplifier with ±0.1% max gain error, ±150µV max input offset voltage, and 1.1MHz bandwidth across its 10V/V fixed gain. It operates from −5V to 110V common-mode voltage and 2.7V to 20V supply, enabling high-precision shunt-based current monitoring in high-voltage DC/DC converters and battery management systems.
For engineers reviewing the INA296B1QDDFRQ1 datasheet, INA296B1QDDFRQ1 pinout, INA296B1QDDFRQ1 application, or INA296B1QDDFRQ1 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOT-23-8 package details, functional safety documentation support, and validated alternatives for automotive-grade current sensing designs requiring <1µs settling time and 166dB CMRR.
Technical Context
The INA296B1QDDFRQ1 uses a zero-drift, precision topology optimized for bidirectional current measurement in high-common-mode environments. Its input stage maintains constant 35µA bias current across −5V to 110V VCM, independent of supply voltage, enabling accurate low-side, high-side, and inline sensing without signal degradation.
It features dual reference inputs (REF1/REF2) that configure output offset for unidirectional or bidirectional operation, and supports fast transient detection via 8V/µs slew rate and 1µs 1% settling time-critical for overcurrent protection in 48V automotive subsystems and BMS cell balancing circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 10V/V - Fixed, factory-trimmed ratio enabling direct scaling of shunt voltage to measurable output without external gain stages. |
| Common-mode range | −5V to 110V - Supports operation beyond supply rails, allowing direct sensing on 48V/60V/80V bus lines without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Bandwidth | 1.1MHz - Enables real-time detection of fast transients (e.g., short-circuit events) in power converters and motor drives. |
| Input offset voltage | ±150µV max - Ensures sub-milliohm shunt accuracy at room temperature, critical for low-current battery monitoring. |
| CMRR | 130dB min (166dB typ) - Rejects noise from high-dv/dt switching nodes, preserving signal integrity in noisy automotive ECU environments. |
| Slew rate | 8V/µs - Delivers rapid output response to step changes in sensed current, supporting <1µs overcurrent fault response. |
| Supply range | 2.7V to 20V - Compatible with 3.3V/5V/12V control domains while maintaining full performance across automotive battery voltage variations. |
Pinout & Package
INA296B1QDDFRQ1 is packaged in an 8-pin SOT-23 (DDF) footprint measuring 2.9mm × 2.8mm, optimized for space-constrained automotive modules and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN– (Pin 1) | Current-sense negative input | Connects to load side (high-side) or ground side (low-side) of shunt; differential input pair enables bidirectional current polarity detection. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | System ground return path; must be low-impedance to preserve CMRR and minimize offset drift. |
| REF2 (Pin 3) | Reference voltage input | Configures output DC offset; tied with REF1 to set bidirectional zero point (e.g., VS/2 for ±VOUT operation). |
| NC (Pin 4) | No-connect terminal | Reserved internal node; must be connected to GND per datasheet to ensure stability and ESD robustness. |
| OUT (Pin 5) | Analog output | Amplified, buffered current-sense voltage; rail-to-rail capable with 20mV headroom to GND and 200mV to VS. |
| VS (Pin 6) | Power supply | 2.7V–20V analog supply; powers internal amplifiers and reference network; decoupling capacitor required at pin. |
| REF1 (Pin 7) | Reference voltage input | Dual with REF2; forms programmable output offset divider; accepts 0V to VS potential for flexible unidirectional/bidirectional configuration. |
| IN+ (Pin 8) | Current-sense positive input | Connects to bus-voltage side (high-side) or load side (low-side) of shunt; complements IN– for differential sensing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A1QDRQ1 | Lower bandwidth (400kHz), higher offset (±100µV), same 10V/V gain and SOT-23-8 package. | Targeted at cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical 12V systems where <1µs response is not required. | Select when functional safety documentation and 1.1MHz bandwidth are unnecessary; offers lower quiescent current (2.4mA vs 2.5mA). |
| MAX40056ATA+T | Higher bandwidth (2.5MHz), wider VCM (−100V to +65V), but no AEC-Q100 qualification and larger 8-pin TDFN package. | Used in industrial test equipment and server PSUs-not qualified for automotive deployment. | Choose only for non-automotive, high-speed lab or telecom applications; lacks automotive temperature grade and safety documentation. |
Compared with INA240A1QDRQ1 and MAX40056ATA+T, the INA296B1QDDFRQ1 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification, 1.1MHz bandwidth, and functional safety support-making it the only option for ASIL-B-compliant, high-dv/dt automotive current sensing where timing-critical fault response is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA296B1QDDFRQ1 can withstand during normal operation?
The INA296B1QDDFRQ1 operates continuously across a common-mode input range of −5V to +110V. This allows direct connection to high-voltage buses such as 48V, 60V, or 80V automotive systems without external attenuation or level-shifting circuitry. Its survival rating extends to −20V to +120V, covering load-dump and reverse-battery transients.
Does the INA296B1QDDFRQ1 support bidirectional current sensing, and how is polarity determined?
Yes, the INA296B1QDDFRQ1 supports true bidirectional current sensing. Polarity is determined by the relative voltage between IN+ and IN−: when IN+ > IN−, the output rises above the configured reference midpoint (e.g., VS/2); when IN+ < IN−, the output falls below that midpoint. REF1 and REF2 pins set the zero-current output level.
What is the guaranteed gain error specification for the INA296B1QDDFRQ1 over temperature?
The INA296B1QDDFRQ1 has a maximum gain error of ±0.1% at room temperature and ±0.1% over the full −40°C to +125°C operating range, with a drift of ±5ppm/°C. This is confirmed in the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table under "Gain Error Drift" for INA296B-Q1 devices.
Can the INA296B1QDDFRQ1 be used in low-side current sensing configurations?
Yes, the INA296B1QDDFRQ1 supports low-side, high-side, and inline current sensing. For low-side use, connect IN+ to the load side of the shunt and IN− to ground. Its −5V to +110V common-mode range accommodates ground-referenced measurements while maintaining excellent CMRR and low offset.
Is functional safety documentation available for the INA296B1QDDFRQ1, and what does it include?
Yes, Texas Instruments provides functional safety documentation for the INA296B1QDDFRQ1, including FIT rate data, failure mode effects and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA), and safety manual guidance. These materials support ISO 26262 ASIL-B system-level development and are accessible through TI's functional safety resource center.
