Overview

The INA216A1RSWR is a high-side, zero-drift current shunt monitor designed for precise current measurement in low-voltage systems. It operates with a supply voltage between 1.8V and 5.5V and features a buffered voltage output for direct interfacing with microcontrollers. Its ultra-low typical quiescent current of 13uA makes it ideal for power-sensitive applications where energy efficiency is critical.

Why Choose This Part

The zero-drift architecture ensures high accuracy with minimal offset over the -40C to 125C operating temperature range. Its extremely small 1.8x1.4mm UQFN package and low 25uA maximum supply current allow for dense PCB layouts in battery-powered electronics.

Applications

Smart Phone Power Management
Monitoring battery discharge and charging currents in ultra-compact mobile devices.
Notebook and Tablet PC Power Rail Monitoring
Tracking real-time power consumption on low-voltage processor rails.
Handheld Medical Instrumentation
Providing accurate current feedback for battery-operated diagnostic tools requiring low drift over temperature.
Wearable Device Battery Gauging
Integrating into small-form-factor devices to provide precise current data for fuel gauging algorithms.
