Overview

The INA181A3QDBVRQ1 is an AEC-Q100 qualified, bidirectional current-sense amplifier designed for high-side or low-side current monitoring in automotive systems. It features a fixed gain of 100V/V and supports a wide common-mode voltage range from -0.2V to 26V, operating on a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply. This functional safety-capable device integrates a matched resistor gain network to minimize gain error and temperature drift in a compact SOT-23-6 package.

Why Choose This Part

The device provides a high 150 kHz bandwidth and 2V/us slew rate, allowing for fast response to overcurrent conditions. Its bidirectional sensing capability enables monitoring of both charge and discharge cycles through a single shunt resistor, while the AEC-Q100 qualification ensures reliability across a -40C to 125C temperature range.

Applications

Automotive Motor Control
Monitoring phase currents in EPS, power windows, and sunroof motors for stall detection and control.
Battery Management Systems (BMS)
Tracking charge and discharge currents in automotive auxiliary batteries and low-voltage power rails.
ADAS Sensor Power Monitoring
Ensuring precision current delivery and fault detection for radar and camera modules.
DC/DC Converters
Implementing feedback loops for current-mode control and overcurrent protection in automotive power electronics.
