Product details
Overview
INA300AIDSQR from Texas Instruments is a 36-V common-mode current-sense comparator for overcurrent protection, featuring programmable threshold (0–250 mV), selectable response times (10/50/100 µs), ±500 µV max offset voltage, and open-drain latched/transparent alert output. It operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply and supports shunt-based monitoring in power supplies and server VRMs.
For engineers reviewing the INA300AIDSQR datasheet, INA300AIDSQR pinout, INA300AIDSQR application, or INA300AIDSQR equivalent, this device delivers precise overcurrent detection with configurable hysteresis (2/4/8 mV), low quiescent current (135 µA active, 3.5 µA disabled), and operation across –40°C to +125°C - critical for industrial and telecom power integrity designs.
Technical Context
The INA300AIDSQR integrates a high-precision differential input stage with an internal 20-µA current source for resistor-programmed threshold setting, enabling direct mapping of shunt voltage to trip point without external amplification. Its wide 0 V to 36 V common-mode range operates independently of supply voltage, supporting high-side sensing in 12 V and 24 V systems.
Three digital-configurable delay modes (10/50/100 µs) implement noise-immune comparison windows, while independent HYS, LATCH, and ENABLE inputs allow real-time mode control without reconfiguration. The open-drain ALERT output supports both transparent (real-time) and latch (fault-hold) behavior, with 50 mV typical VOL at 3 mA sink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Common-mode input range | 0 V to 36 V - enables direct high-side shunt sensing in 12 V/24 V/36 V bus applications without level-shifting. |
| Programmable threshold range | 0 mV to 250 mV - supports low-loss shunts (e.g., 0.5–5 mΩ) while maintaining resolution for sub-1% trip accuracy. |
| Response time options | 10 µs / 50 µs / 100 µs - selectable via DELAY pin to balance speed vs. noise immunity in switching power stages. |
| Input offset voltage | ±500 µV max - ensures <1% error at 50 mV sense voltage, critical for accurate 10 A–100 A overcurrent detection. |
| Hysteresis options | 2 mV / 4 mV / 8 mV - prevents chatter near threshold during transient load steps in DC-DC converters. |
| Supply current (active) | 135 µA max - enables always-on protection in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and telecom rectifiers. |
Pinout & Package
INA300AIDSQR is packaged in a 10-pin WSON (DSQ) package with 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm body size and exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per TI SBOS613C datasheet Figure 5-1 and Table 5-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+ | Analog input | Connects to supply side of shunt resistor; accepts up to 36 V common-mode voltage. |
| IN– | Analog input | Connects to load side of shunt resistor; forms differential pair with IN+ for VSENSE measurement. |
| LIMIT | Analog input | Threshold reference input; sets trip point via 20 µA internal current source and external RLIMIT. |
| ENABLE | Digital input | Active-high enable; disables comparator and reduces IQ to ≤3.5 µA for standby power savings. |
| ALERT | Digital output | Open-drain, active-low fault indicator; sinks ≥3 mA; supports wired-OR fault bus architectures. |
| LATCH | Digital input | Selects latched (fault held until cleared) or transparent (real-time) output behavior. |
| DELAY | Digital input | Configures response time: GND = 50 µs, VS = 100 µs, open = 10 µs. |
| GND | Analog ground | Reference for analog inputs and internal bias; connects to PCB thermal pad for thermal performance. |
| VS | Power supply | 2.7 V to 5.5 V single supply; powers internal circuitry and defines logic thresholds for digital pins. |
| HYS | Digital input | Sets hysteresis: GND = 4 mV, VS = 8 mV, open = 2 mV - stabilizes decision boundary against noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Resistor-programmable threshold | Single external RLIMIT sets 0–250 mV trip point using internal 20 µA current source - eliminates DAC or precision reference IC. |
| Configurable response timing | Hardware-selectable 10/50/100 µs delays via DELAY pin - avoids firmware overhead and enables deterministic fault response. |
| Low-power disable mode | 3.5 µA max quiescent current when ENABLE = low - supports energy-efficient system-level power sequencing. |
| Flexible alert output mode | LATCH pin selects between transparent (instant fault reporting) or latched (fault retention until reset) - simplifies host MCU interrupt handling. |
| Wide common-mode tolerance | 0–36 V input range independent of VS - enables direct high-side sensing in buck converters, OR-ing controllers, and 48 V telecom systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-sense comparator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA301AIDSQR | Includes integrated 10-bit ADC and I²C interface; higher quiescent current (350 µA); same pinout and threshold programming. | Requires microcontroller with I²C and firmware support for digital readback; not suitable for simple alert-only use cases. | Select INA301AIDSQR only if digital current telemetry and programmable alert registers are required. |
| MAX40056AUTA+ | Fixed 50 mV threshold; no resistor programming; 2.5 V to 5.5 V supply; 250 ns propagation delay; no hysteresis selection. | Designed for ultra-fast short-circuit detection in GaN FET gate drivers; lacks configurability for variable trip points. | Choose MAX40056AUTA+ only for sub-1 µs fault response where fixed threshold suffices and layout space is constrained. |
Compared with INA300AIDSQR, INA301AIDSQR adds telemetry capability at cost of higher IQ and firmware dependency, while MAX40056AUTA+ trades configurability for nanosecond-speed response - making INA300AIDSQR optimal for balanced, flexible overcurrent protection in power conversion systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage supported by the INA300AIDSQR?
The INA300AIDSQR supports a common-mode input voltage range of 0 V to 36 V, independent of its 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply voltage. This allows direct high-side shunt sensing in 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V systems without external level-shifting circuitry. The specification is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C operating temperature range per TI SBOS613C datasheet Section 6.5.
How is the overcurrent threshold programmed on the INA300AIDSQR?
The INA300AIDSQR threshold is programmed using a single external resistor (RLIMIT) connected from the LIMIT pin to GND. An internal 20 µA current source develops VLIMIT = 20 µA × RLIMIT, which is compared to the shunt voltage. For example, a 10 kΩ resistor sets a 200 mV threshold. Voltage-source programming is also supported via DAC or reference, as detailed in Section 7.3.2 of the INA300AIDSQR datasheet.
Does the INA300AIDSQR support latched fault output behavior?
Yes, the INA300AIDSQR supports both latched and transparent alert modes. When the LATCH pin is driven high, the ALERT output remains low after an overcurrent event until the LATCH pin is toggled or the device is power-cycled. In transparent mode (LATCH = low), ALERT follows the input state in real time. This dual-mode capability simplifies fault-handling architecture in systems with or without dedicated reset logic.
What are the power consumption characteristics of the INA300AIDSQR in active and disabled states?
In active operation, the INA300AIDSQR draws ≤135 µA at 25°C and ≤150 µA across –40°C to +125°C. When the ENABLE pin is low, quiescent current drops to ≤3.5 µA, and input bias current falls to ≤500 nA - enabling ultra-low-power standby modes. These values are specified in Section 6.5 Electrical Characteristics of the INA300AIDSQR datasheet and verified across all delay and hysteresis configurations.
Which package does the INA300AIDSQR use, and what are its thermal characteristics?
The INA300AIDSQR uses the 10-pin WSON (DSQ) package with 2.00 mm × 2.00 mm body size and exposed thermal pad. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 63.5°C/W with standard JEDEC 2-layer board layout. The thermal pad must be soldered to a copper pour for optimal performance, as defined in TI's thermal design guidelines for DSQ packages in the INA300AIDSQR datasheet Section 6.4.
