INA185

Texas Instruments · Current-sense amplifier · SOT-563

Amplifies the voltage across a shunt into a ground-referenced output, in a tiny SOT-563, with a common-mode range from -0.2 to 26 V so it works high-side or low-side regardless of the supply. A REF pin sets the zero-current output for bidirectional current, and the fixed-gain options (20 to 100 V/V) plus high bandwidth track fast load steps. It runs from a single 2.7 to 5.5 V rail. The small, low-cost sibling of the INA181 for board-level current measurement.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 OUT output Analog output voltage. Buffered amplifier output representing the amplified sense-resistor differential voltage referenced to REF.
2 GND power_in Device ground reference.
3 IN+ input Current-sense amplifier positive (noninverting) input. For high-side applications, connect to bus-voltage side of sense resistor. For low-side applications, connect to load side of sense resistor. Common-mode range -0.2 V to +26 V.
4 IN- input Current-sense amplifier negative (inverting) input. For high-side applications, connect to load side of sense resistor. For low-side applications, connect to ground side of sense resistor. Common-mode range -0.2 V to +26 V.
5 REF input Reference input. Sets the output zero-current reference voltage; typically driven to VS/2 for bidirectional sensing or to GND for unidirectional sensing.
6 VS power_in Power supply, 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Bypass locally with a 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor to GND.
