Normal Case 2: VSENSE ≥ 20mV, VCM < VS
This region of operation has slightly less accuracy
than Normal Case 1 as a result of the common-mode
operating area in which the part functions, as seen in
the Output Error vs Common-Mode Voltage curve
(Figure 6). As noted, for this graph VS = 12V; for VCM
< 12V, the Output Error increases as VCM becomes
less than 12V, with a typical maximum error of
0.005% at the most negative VCM = −16V.
Low VSENSE Case 1:
VSENSE < 20mV, −16V ≤ VCM < 0;
and Low VSENSE Case 3:
VSENSE < 20mV, VS < VCM ≤ 80V
Although the INA193−INA198 family of devices are
not designed for accurate operation in either of these
regions, some applications are exposed to these
conditions; for example, when monitoring power
supplies that are switched on and off while VS is still
applied to the INA193−INA198. It is important to know
what the behavior of the devices will be in these
regions.
As VSENSE approaches 0mV, in these VCM regions,
the device output accuracy degrades. A
larger-than-normal offset can appear at the current
shunt monitor output with a typical maximum value of
VOUT = 300mV for VSENSE = 0mV. As VSENSE
approaches 20mV, VOUT returns to the expected
output value with accuracy as specified in the
Electrical Characteristics. Figure 19 illustrates this
effect using the INA195 and INA198 (Gain = 100).

Low VSENSE Case 2: VSENSE < 20mV, 0V ≤ VCM ≤ VS
This region of operation is the least accurate for the
INA193−INA198 family. To achieve the wide input
common-mode voltage range, these devices use two
op amp front ends in parallel. One op amp front end
operates in the positive input common-mode voltage
range, and the other in the negative input region. For
this case, neither of these two internal amplifiers
dominates and overall loop gain is very low. Within
this region, VOUT approaches voltages close to linear
operation levels for Normal Case 2. This deviation
from linear operation becomes greatest the closer
VSENSE approaches 0V. Within this region, as VSENSE
approaches 20mV, device operation is closer to that
described by Normal Case 2. Figure 20 illustrates this
behavior for the INA195. The VOUT maximum peak for
this case is tested by maintaining a constant VS,
setting VSENSE = 0mV and sweeping VCM from 0V to
VS. The exact VCM at which VOUT peaks during this
test varies from part to part, but the VOUT maximum
peak is tested to be less than the specified VOUT
Tested Limit.
