Overview

The INA225AIDGKR is a high-side voltage-output current shunt monitor with a zero-drift architecture and four selectable gain settings. It operates over a wide common-mode voltage range of 2.7V to 36V, making it suitable for monitoring current in both low-voltage and industrial power systems. The device simplifies design by integrating a programmable gain amplifier, requiring only an external shunt resistor for operation.

Why Choose This Part

The zero-drift architecture ensures high accuracy with a maximum error of 0.15 percent across the operating temperature range. Its integrated programmable gain (25V/V, 50V/V, 100V/V, 200V/V) allows for flexible scaling of different shunt resistor values without changing external components.

Applications

Motor Control
High-side current sensing for closed-loop motor speed and torque control in industrial drives.
Power Supply Monitoring
Real-time current measurement for overcurrent protection and power management in telecom and server equipment.
Battery Management Systems
Monitoring charge and discharge cycles in large battery packs to ensure safe operating limits.
Automotive Electronics
Measuring current across various sub-systems where high-side sensing is required for fault detection.

Getting Started

To evaluate the INA225, engineers can utilize the INA225EVM evaluation module to test performance with different shunt configurations. Design requires connecting the GS0 and GS1 pins to either GND or VS to select the desired gain, and placing a precision shunt resistor in the high-side load path.
