Product details
Overview
INA296B5IDGKR from Texas Instruments is a bidirectional, ultra-precise current sense amplifier with 200V/V fixed gain, −5V to 110V common-mode input range, 1.1MHz bandwidth, and 8V/µs slew rate-designed for high-speed overcurrent detection in 48V BMS and DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the INA296B5IDGKR datasheet, INA296B5IDGKR pinout, INA296B5IDGKR application, or INA296B5IDGKR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping (VSSOP-8), functional pin roles, real-world use cases in 48V power systems, and two validated alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The INA296B5IDGKR employs a zero-drift, high-voltage input stage enabling operation beyond supply rails (−5V to 110V CM) while maintaining ±150µV max offset and ±0.1% max gain error across −40°C to 125°C. Its 1.1MHz bandwidth and 1µs 1% settling time support fast transient response in protection-critical applications.
It uses dual reference inputs (REF1/REF2) to configure unidirectional or bidirectional output centering, with internal precision resistor matching ensuring ≤±0.15% reference divider accuracy. Input bias current remains constant at 35µA (typ) across full CM range-unaffected by voltage swing-enabling low-leakage shunt sensing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain | 200V/V - sets output scaling for low VSENSE signals (e.g., 10mV shunt drop → 2V output), optimizing dynamic range with 48V bus systems. |
| Common-Mode Range | −5V to 110V - supports high-side, low-side, and inline sensing in 48V/60V/100V systems without level-shifting or isolation. |
| Bandwidth | 1.1MHz - enables detection of sub-microsecond overcurrent events in telecom RRU and server PSU protection circuits. |
| Slew Rate | 8V/µs - ensures faithful reproduction of fast current transients without distortion during fault conditions. |
| Offset Voltage (max) | ±150µV - limits measurement error to ≤0.75mV at 200× gain, critical for accurate low-current monitoring in BMS cell balancing. |
| Supply Range | 2.7V to 20V - decouples power rail from sensing rail, allowing single 3.3V/5V logic supply while monitoring 48V–110V buses. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial rack-mount, and outdoor telecom equipment environments. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 (DGK) package: 3mm × 4.9mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+ | Current-sense positive input | Connect to bus side of shunt in high-side config; load side in low-side-defines polarity for bidirectional output swing. |
| IN− | Current-sense negative input | Connect to load side in high-side; ground side in low-side-differential voltage (IN+ − IN−) scaled by 200× appears at OUT. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply current and reference network; must be low-impedance to avoid CMRR degradation. |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Internally reserved; must be tied to GND per datasheet to ensure stability and EMI performance. |
| OUT | Analog output | Provides 200×(IN+ − IN−) + (REF1 + REF2)/2; swings within 20mV of GND and 70mV below VS at full load. |
| VS | Power supply input | Accepts 2.7V–20V; powers internal circuitry-output compliance depends on VS, not CM voltage. |
| REF1 | Reference voltage input | One half of programmable output center point; paired with REF2 to set quiescent output (e.g., VS/2 for bidirectional mode). |
| REF2 | Reference voltage input | Second half of output centering network; identical function to REF1-both must be biased between GND and VS. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional sensing capability | Configurable via REF1/REF2 biasing-enables single-device current direction and magnitude measurement in 48V BMS charge/discharge paths. |
| CMRR ≥120dB (min) | Rejects >99.9999% of common-mode noise at 48V bus, preserving µV-level VSENSE integrity in noisy switch-mode environments. |
| Constant 35µA input bias | Eliminates CM-dependent leakage error-critical for precision shunt measurements where input impedance must remain stable across −5V–110V. |
| 1µs 1% settling time | Supports <1µs fault response in safety-critical 48V server PSUs, meeting IEC 62368-1 transient overcurrent reaction requirements. |
| Zero-drift architecture | Maintains ±150µV offset and ±5ppm/°C drift over −40°C to 125°C-ensures calibration stability without periodic re-zeroing in field-deployed gear. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current sense amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA240A5IDR | 200V/V gain, −4V to 80V CM range, 4V/µs slew rate, ±120µV offset (A-grade), SOIC-8 only | Limited to ≤80V systems; slower response unsuitable for <500ns fault detection; no VSSOP option | Select when cost-sensitive 80V applications tolerate reduced speed and wider package footprint. |
| MAX40056ASA+T | 200V/V gain, −5V to 65V CM, 1.5MHz BW, ±100µV offset, SOT23-8 only, 2.7V–5.5V supply | Narrower supply range restricts use with >5.5V MCUs; 65V CM limit excludes 100V industrial systems | Choose for space-constrained 48V consumer electronics where SOT23-8 fit is mandatory and 65V ceiling is acceptable. |
Compared with INA296B5IDGKR, INA240A5IDR trades 30V CM headroom and 2× slew rate for lower cost and broader temp range, while MAX40056ASA+T sacrifices CM range and supply flexibility to achieve smaller footprint-neither matches the VSSOP-8 + 110V + 8V/µs combination of the INA296B5IDGKR.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA296B5IDGKR can withstand during operation?
The INA296B5IDGKR operates continuously over a common-mode input range of −5V to 110V. Its survival rating extends to −20V to 120V, meaning it tolerates brief transients up to 120V without damage. This enables reliable use in 48V, 60V, and 100V industrial bus systems without external protection circuitry-verified per TI SBOSA04D Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does the INA296B5IDGKR require external compensation components for stability?
No, the INA296B5IDGKR is internally compensated and stable with capacitive loads up to 1nF-no external compensation is needed. The device maintains phase margin >45° across all gains and supply voltages, as confirmed in the Typical Characteristics section (Figure 6-24, Output Impedance vs Frequency) and Electrical Characteristics table (Maximum Capacitive Load = 1nF).
How does the reference pin configuration affect bidirectional operation of the INA296B5IDGKR?
For bidirectional operation, REF1 and REF2 are biased to different potentials-typically VS and GND-to set the quiescent output to VS/2. A positive VSENSE drives OUT above VS/2; negative VSENSE pulls OUT below VS/2. This is defined in Equation 1 of the datasheet and validated in Figure 7-1 test circuit-enabling full-scale current direction detection with a single-ended ADC input.
What is the typical input bias current of the INA296B5IDGKR, and why is it important for shunt accuracy?
The INA296B5IDGKR draws 35µA (typical) input bias current per input pin-and critically, this value remains constant across the full −20V to 120V common-mode range. Unlike competitive amplifiers, its bias current does not scale with VCM, eliminating variable shunt loading error and ensuring consistent gain accuracy in high-side 48V sensing configurations.
Can the INA296B5IDGKR be used in low-side current sensing applications?
Yes, the INA296B5IDGKR supports low-side sensing: connect IN+ to the load side of the shunt and IN− to system ground. Its −5V to 110V common-mode range fully covers ground-referenced configurations, and its 20mV output swing to GND (min) ensures usable signal headroom even at low supply voltages like 3.3V-confirmed in Section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics (Swing to Ground).
