# INA186A3IDDFT

**Texas Instruments** · Current Sense Amplifiers · TSOT-23-8

INA186A3IDDFT from Texas Instruments, in a TSOT-23-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VS | power_in | Power supply input, 1.7 V to 5.5 V. |
| 2 | ENABLE | input | Digital enable pin; device enabled when driven to VS and disabled when driven to GND with output placed in high-impedance state; must be externally driven or connected to VS if not used. |
| 3 | REF | input | Analog reference input enabling bidirectional current detection through externally applied voltage ranging from GND to VS. |
| 4 | GND | power_in | Analog ground reference. |
| 5 | OUT | output | Analog output providing the gained voltage difference from IN+ to IN- pins offset by voltage applied to REF pin. |
| 6 | NC | unconnected | No internal connection; may be left floating, grounded, or connected to power supply. |
| 7 | IN+ | input | Current sensing amplifier positive input; connect to bus voltage side of sense resistor for high-side sensing or load side for low-side sensing. |
| 8 | IN- | input | Current sensing amplifier negative input; connect to load side of sense resistor for high-side sensing or ground side for low-side sensing. |
