3 Description
The INA250 is a voltage-output, current-sensing
amplifier family that integrates an internal shunt
resistor to enable high-accuracy current
measurements at common-mode voltages that can
vary from 0 V to 36 V, independent of the supply
voltage. The device is a bidirectional, low- or high-
side current-shunt monitor that allows an external
reference to be used to measure current flowing in
both directions through the internal current-sensing
resistor sensor. The integration of the precision
current-sensing resistor provides calibration
equivalent measurement accuracy with ultra-low
temperature drift performance and ensures an
optimized Kelvin layout for the sensing resistor is
always obtained.
The INA250 family is available in four output voltage
scales: 200 mV/A, 500 mV/A, 800 mV/A, and 2 V/A.
This device is fully tested and specified for
continuous currents up to 10 amps at the maximum
temperature of 125°C. The INA250 operates from a
single 2.7-V to 36-V supply and draws a maximum of
300 µA of supply current. All INA250 gain versions
are specified over the extended operating
temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), and are
available in a TSSOP-16 package.
