Texas Instruments INA299 High-Precision Current Sense Amplifier

Texas Instruments INA299 High-Precision Current Sense Amplifier is a precise, bidirectional current sense amplifier that can measure voltage drops across shunt resistors over a wide common-mode range from –2V to 80V, independent of the supply voltage. The high-precision current measurement is achieved through a combination of low offset voltage (±150µV, maximum), small gain error (±0.25%, maximum), and a high DC CMRR (typical 120dB). The INA299 is designed for bidirectional DC current measurements and high-speed applications (such as fast overcurrent protection and transient detection) with a high signal bandwidth of 650kHz and a fast settling time.

The Texas Instruments INA299 operates from a single 2.7V to 12V supply, drawing 650µA of supply current. The INA299 has three gain options: 20V/V, 50V/V, 100V/V. Multiple gain options allow for optimization between wide output dynamic range requirements and available shunt resistor values. The INA299 is specified over an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and is offered in a 6-pin SOT-23 package.
