Overview

The INA211BIDCKR is a high-accuracy, zero-drift current-shunt monitor designed for low-side or high-side current sensing. This voltage-output amplifier can sense drops across shunts at common-mode voltages from -0.3V to 26V, independent of the supply voltage. It is particularly effective for high-precision measurements in power-constrained designs due to its low 65uA typical supply current.

Why Choose This Part

The zero-drift architecture provides high accuracy with an offset voltage that remains stable over the full -40C to 125C operating temperature range. Its extremely low quiescent current and small SC70 footprint make it ideal for portable, battery-operated devices where PCB real estate is at a premium.

Applications

Notebook and Cell Phone Power Management
Monitoring battery discharge and charging rates with high precision to extend battery life and provide accurate fuel gauging.
Telecom Equipment
Real-time monitoring of rail currents in high-availability infrastructure to detect overcurrent conditions or hardware failures.
Battery Chargers
Providing feedback loops for constant-current charging profiles in portable electronics and industrial handhelds.
Automotive Sensor Interfaces
Precise current measurement in body electronics and small motor control where space is limited and accuracy over temperature is critical.

Getting Started

To evaluate this part, use a shunt resistor sized for your expected current range to ensure the differential input voltage stays within the linear range. For prototyping, TI offers the INA211EVM evaluation module which simplifies connection to external power and loads. Ensure decoupling capacitors are placed close to the V+ pin to minimize noise in high-precision measurements.
