INAx180 Low- and High-Side Voltage Output, Current-Sense Amplifiers
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
•
The INA180, INA2180, and INA4180 (INAx180)
current sense amplifiers are designed for costoptimized applications. These devices are part of a
family of current-sense amplifiers (also called currentshunt monitors) that sense voltage drops across
current-sense resistors at common-mode voltages
from –0.2 V to +26 V, independent of the supply
voltage. The INAx180 integrate a matched resistor
gain network in four, fixed-gain device options: 20
V/V, 50 V/V, 100 V/V, or 200 V/V. This matched gain
resistor network minimizes gain error and reduces the
temperature drift.

Common-mode range (VCM): –0.2 V to +26 V
High bandwidth: 350 kHz (A1 devices)
Offset voltage:
– ±150 µV (maximum) at VCM = 0 V
– ±500 µV (maximum) at VCM = 12 V
Output slew rate: 2 V/µs
Accuracy:
– ±1% gain error (maximum)
– 1-µV/°C offset drift (maximum)
Gain options:
– 20 V/V (A1 devices)
– 50 V/V (A2 devices)
– 100 V/V (A3 devices)
– 200 V/V (A4 devices)
Quiescent current: 260 µA maximum (INA180)
All these devices operate from a single 2.7-V to 5.5-V
power supply. The single-channel INA180 draws a
maximum supply current of 260 µA; whereas, the
dual-channel INA2180 draws a maximum supply
current of 500 µA, and the quad channel draws a
maximum supply current of 900 µA.
The INA180 is available in a 5-pin, SOT-23 package
with two different pin configurations. The INA2180 is
available in 8-pin, VSSOP and WSON packages. The
INA4180 is available in a 14-pin, TSSOP package. All
device options are specified over the extended
operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The INA180, INA2180, and INA4180 (INAx180) are 26-V, common-mode, current-sensing amplifiers used in both
low-side and high-side configurations. These specially-designed, current-sensing amplifiers accurately measures
voltages developed across current-sensing resistors on common-mode voltages that far exceed the supply
voltage powering the device. Current can be measured on input voltage rails as high as 26 V, and the devices
can be powered from supply voltages as low as 2.7 V.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 High Bandwidth and Slew Rate
The INAx180 support small-signal bandwidths as high as 350 kHz, and large-signal slew rates of 2 V/µs. The
ability to detect rapid changes in the sensed current, as well as the ability to quickly slew the output, make the
INAx180 a good choice for applications that require a quick response to input current changes. One application
that requires high bandwidth and slew rate is low-side motor control, where the ability to follow rapid changing
current in the motor allows for more accurate control over a wider operating range. Another application that
requires higher bandwidth and slew rates is system fault detection, where the INAx180 are used with an external
comparator and a reference to quickly detect when the sensed current is out of range.
8.3.2 Wide Input Common-Mode Voltage Range
The INAx180 support input common-mode voltages from –0.2 V to +26 V. Because of the internal topology, the
common-mode range is not restricted by the power-supply voltage (VS) as long as VS stays within the operational
range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The ability to operate with common-mode voltages greater or less than VS allow the
INAx180 to be used in high-side, as well as low-side, current-sensing applications, as shown in Figure 42.

8.3.3 Precise Low-Side Current Sensing
When used in low-side current sensing applications the offset voltage of the INAx180 is within ±150 µV. The low
offset performance of the INAx180 has several benefits. First, the low offset allows the device to be used in
applications that must measure current over a wide dynamic range. In this case, the low offset improves the
accuracy when the sensed currents are on the low end of the measurement range. Another advantage of low
offset is the ability to sense lower voltage drop across the sense resistor accurately, thus allowing a lower-value
shunt resistor. Lower-value shunt resistors reduce power loss in the current sense circuit, and help improve the
power efficiency of the end application.
The gain error of the INAx180 is specified to be within 1% of the actual value. As the sensed voltage becomes
much larger than the offset voltage, this voltage becomes the dominant source of error in the current sense
measurement.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.4 Rail-to-Rail Output Swing
The INAx180 allow linear current sensing operation with the output close to the supply rail and GND. The
maximum specified output swing to the positive rail is 30 mV, and the maximum specified output swing to GND is
only 5 mV. In order to compare the output swing of the INAx180 to an equivalent operational amplifier (op amp),
the inputs are overdriven to approximate the open-loop condition specified in op amp data sheets. The currentsense amplifier is a closed-loop system; therefore, the output swing to GND can be limited by the product of the
offset voltage and amplifier gain.
For devices that have positive offset voltages, the swing to GND is limited by the larger of either the offset
voltage multiplied by the gain or the swing to GND specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
For example, in an application where the INA180A4 (gain = 200 V/V) is used for low-side current sensing and the
device has an offset of 40 µV, the product of the device offset and gain results in a value of 8 mV, greater than
the specified negative swing value. Therefore, the swing to GND for this example is 8 mV. If the same device
has an offset of –40 µV, then the calculated zero differential signal is –8 mV. In this case, the offset helps
overdrive the swing in the negative direction, and swing performance is consistent with the value specified in the
Electrical Characteristics table.
The offset voltage is a function of the common-mode voltage as determined by the CMRR specification;
therefore, the offset voltage increases when higher common-mode voltages are present. The increase in offset
voltage limits how low the output voltage can go during a zero-current condition when operating at higher
common-mode voltages. Figure 43 shows the typical limitation of the zero-current output voltage vs commonmode voltage for each gain option.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Normal Mode
The INAx180 is in normal operation when the following conditions are met:
• The power supply voltage (VS) is between 2.7 V and 5.5 V.
• The common-mode voltage (VCM) is within the specified range of –0.2 V to +26 V.
• The maximum differential input signal times gain is less than VS minus the output voltage swing to VS.
• The minimum differential input signal times gain is greater than the swing to GND (see the Rail-to-Rail Output
Swing section).
During normal operation, the device produces an output voltage that is the gained-up representation of the
difference voltage from IN+ to IN–.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
8.4.2 Input Differential Overload
If the differential input voltage (VIN+ – VIN–) times gain exceeds the voltage swing specification, the INAx180 drive
the output as close as possible to the positive supply, and does not provide accurate measurement of the
differential input voltage. If this input overload occurs during normal circuit operation, then reduce the value of the
shunt resistor or use a lower-gain version with the chosen sense resistor to avoid this mode of operation. If a
differential overload occurs in a fault event, then the output of the INAx180 return to the expected value
approximately 20 µs after the fault condition is removed.
When the INAx180 output is driven to either the supply rail or ground, increasing the differential input voltage
does not damage the device as long as the absolute maximum ratings are not violated. Following these
guidelines, the INAx180 output maintains polarity, and does not suffer from phase reversal.
8.4.3 Shutdown Mode
Although the INAx180 do not have a shutdown pin, the low power consumption of the device allows the output of
a logic gate or transistor switch to power the INAx180. This gate or switch turns on and off the INAx180 powersupply quiescent current.
However, in current shunt monitoring applications, there is also a concern for how much current is drained from
the shunt circuit in shutdown conditions. Evaluating this current drain involves considering the simplified
schematic of the INAx180 in shutdown mode, as shown in Figure 44.

Figure 44. Basic Circuit to Shut Down the INxA180
There is typically more than 500 kΩ of impedance (from the combination of 500-kΩ feedback and
input gain set resistors) from each input of the INAx180 to the OUT pin and to the GND pin. The amount of
current flowing through these pins depends on the voltage at the connection.
Regarding the 500-kΩ path to the output pin, the output stage of a disabled INAx180 does constitute a good path
to ground. Consequently, this current is directly proportional to a shunt common-mode voltage present across a
500-kΩ resistor.
As a final note, as long as the shunt common-mode voltage is greater than VS when the device is powered up,
there is an additional and well-matched 55-µA typical current that flows in each of the inputs. If less than VS, the
common-mode input currents are negligible, and the only current effects are the result of the 500-kΩ resistors.

resistor to the load or ground.
9.1.1 Basic Connections
Figure 45 shows the basic connections of the INA180. Connect the input pins (IN+ and IN–) as closely as

9.1.2 RSENSE and Device Gain Selection
The accuracy of the INAx180 is maximized by choosing the current-sense resistor to be as large as possible. A
large sense resistor maximizes the differential input signal for a given amount of current flow and reduces the
error contribution of the offset voltage. However, there are practical limits as to how large the current-sense
resistor can be in a given application. The INAx180 have a typical input bias currents of 80 µA for each input
when operated at a 12-V common-mode voltage input. When large current-sense resistors are used, these bias
currents cause increased offset error and reduced common-mode rejection. Therefore, using current-sense
resistors larger than a few ohms is generally not recommended for applications that require current-monitoring
accuracy. A second common restriction on the value of the current-sense resistor is the maximum allowable
power dissipation that is budgeted for the resistor. Equation 1 gives the maximum value for the current sense
resistor for a given power dissipation budget:
PDMAX
RSENSE
IMAX2
where:
•
•
PDMAX is the maximum allowable power dissipation in RSENSE.
IMAX is the maximum current that will flow through RSENSE.
(1)
An additional limitation on the size of the current-sense resistor and device gain is due to the power-supply
voltage, VS, and device swing to rail limitations. In order to make sure that the current-sense signal is properly
passed to the output, both positive and negative output swing limitations must be examined. Equation 2 provides
the maximum values of RSENSE and GAIN to keep the device from hitting the positive swing limitation.
IMAX u RSENSE u GAIN VSP
where:
•
•
•
IMAX is the maximum current that will flow through RSENSE.
GAIN is the gain of the current sense-amplifier.
VSP is the positive output swing as specified in the data sheet.
(2)
To avoid positive output swing limitations when selecting the value of RSENSE, there is always a trade-off between
the value of the sense resistor and the gain of the device under consideration. If the sense resistor selected for
the maximum power dissipation is too large, then it is possible to select a lower-gain device in order to avoid
positive swing limitations.
The negative swing limitation places a limit on how small of a sense resistor can be used in a given application.
Equation 3 provides the limit on the minimum size of the sense resistor.
IMIN u RSENSE u GAIN > VSN
where:
•
•
•
22
IMIN is the minimum current that will flow through RSENSE.
GAIN is the gain of the current sense amplifier.
VSN is the negative output swing of the device (see Rail-to-Rail Output Swing).

9.1.3 Signal Filtering
Provided that the INAx180 output is connected to a high impedance input, the best location to filter is at the
device output using a simple RC network from OUT to GND. Filtering at the output attenuates high-frequency
disturbances in the common-mode voltage, differential input signal, and INAx180 power-supply voltage. If filtering
at the output is not possible, or filtering of only the differential input signal is required, it is possible to apply a
filter at the input pins of the device. Figure 46 provides an example of how a filter can be used on the input pins
of the device.

Figure 46. Filter at Input Pins
The addition of external series resistance creates an additional error in the measurement; therefore, the value of
these series resistors must be kept to 10 Ω (or less, if possible) to reduce impact to accuracy. The internal bias
network shown in Figure 46 present at the input pins creates a mismatch in input bias currents when a
differential voltage is applied between the input pins. If additional external series filter resistors are added to the
circuit, the mismatch in bias currents results in a mismatch of voltage drops across the filter resistors. This
mismatch creates a differential error voltage that subtracts from the voltage developed across the shunt resistor.
This error results in a voltage at the device input pins that is different than the voltage developed across the
shunt resistor. Without the additional series resistance, the mismatch in input bias currents has little effect on
device operation. The amount of error these external filter resistors add to the measurement can be calculated
using Equation 5, where the gain error factor is calculated using Equation 4.
The amount of variance in the differential voltage present at the device input relative to the voltage developed at
the shunt resistor is based both on the external series resistance (RF) value as well as internal input resistor RINT,
as shown in Figure 46. The reduction of the shunt voltage reaching the device input pins appears as a gain error
when comparing the output voltage relative to the voltage across the shunt resistor. A factor can be calculated to
determine the amount of gain error that is introduced by the addition of external series resistance. Calculate the
expected deviation from the shunt voltage to what is measured at the device input pins is given using Equation 4:
1250 u RINT
Gain Error Factor
(1250 u RF ) (1250 u RINT ) (RF u RINT )
where:
•
•
RINT is the internal input resistor.
RF is the external series resistance.

The gain error that can be expected from the addition of the external series resistors can then be calculated
based on Equation 5:
Gain Error (%) = 100 - (100 ´ Gain Error Factor)
(5)
For example, using an INA180A2 and the corresponding gain error equation from Table 2, a series resistance of
10 Ω results in a gain error factor of 0.991. The corresponding gain error is then calculated using Equation 5,
resulting in an additional gain error of approximately 0.89% solely because of the external 10-Ω series resistors.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The maximum value of the current sense resistor is calculated based on the maximum power loss requirement.
By applying Equation 1, the maximum value of the current-sense resistor is calculated to be 0.563 mΩ. This is
the maximum value for sense resistor RSENSE; therefore, select RSENSE to be 0.5 mΩ because it is the closest
standard resistor value that meets the power-loss requirement.
The next step is to select the appropriate gain and reduce RSENSE, if needed, to keep the output signal swing
within the VS range. Using Equation 2, and given that IMAX = 40 A and RSENSE = 0.5 mΩ, the maximum currentsense gain calculated to avoid the positive swing-to-rail limitations on the output is 248.5. To maximize the output
signal range, the INA180A4 (gain = 200) device is selected for this application.
To calculate the accuracy at peak current, the two factors that must be determined are the gain error and the
offset error. The gain error of the INAx180 is specified to be a maximum of 1%. The error due to the offset is
constant, and is specified to be 125 µV (maximum) for the conditions where VCM = 0 V and VS = 5 V. Using
Equation 6, the percentage error contribution of the offset voltage is calculated to be 0.75%, with total offset error
= 150 µV, RSENSE = 0.5 mΩ, and ISENSE = 40 A.

One method of calculating the total error is to add the gain error to the percentage contribution of the offset error.
However, in this case, the gain error and the offset error do not have an influence or correlation to each other. A
more statistically accurate method of calculating the total error is to use the RSS sum of the errors, as shown in
Equation 7:
Total Error (%) = Total Gain Error (%)2 + Total Offset Error (%)2
(7)
After applying Equation 7, the total current sense error at maximum current is calculated to be 1.25%, and that is
less than the design example requirement of 1.5%.
The INA180A4 (gain = 200) also has a bandwidth of 105 kHz that meets the small-signal bandwidth requirement
of 80 kHz. If higher bandwidth is required, lower-gain devices can be used at the expense of either reduced
output voltage range or an increased value of RSENSE.

Output Voltage (1 V/div)
Figure 48 shows an example output response of a unidirectional configuration. The device output swing is limited

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The input circuitry of the INAx180 accurately measures beyond the power-supply voltage, VS. For example, VS
can be 5 V, whereas the bus supply voltage at IN+ and IN– can be as high as 26 V. However, the output voltage
range of the OUT pin is limited by the voltages on the VS pin. The INAx180 also withstand the full differential
input signal range up to 26 V at the IN+ and IN– input pins, regardless of whether or not the device has power
applied at the VS pin.
10.1 Common-Mode Transients Greater Than 26 V
With a small amount of additional circuitry, the INAx180 can be used in circuits subject to transients higher than
26 V, such as automotive applications. Use only Zener diodes or Zener-type transient absorbers (sometimes
referred to as transzorbs)—any other type of transient absorber has an unacceptable time delay. Start by adding
a pair of resistors as a working impedance for the Zener diode, as shown Figure 49. Keep these resistors as
small as possible; most often, around 10 Ω. Larger values can be used with an effect on gain that is discussed in
the Signal Filtering section. This circuit limits only short-term transients; therefore, many applications are satisfied
with a 10-Ω resistor along with conventional Zener diodes of the lowest acceptable power rating. This
combination uses the least amount of board space. These diodes can be found in packages as small as
SOT-523 or SOD-523.

Figure 49. Transient Protection Using Dual Zener Diodes
In the event that low-power Zener diodes do not have sufficient transient absorption capability, a higher-power
transzorb must be used. The most package-efficient solution involves using a single transzorb and back-to-back
diodes between the device inputs, as shown in Figure 50. The most space-efficient solutions are dual, seriesconnected diodes in a single SOT-523 or SOD-523 package. In either of the examples shown in Figure 49 and
Figure 50, the total board area required by the INAx180 with all protective components is less than that of an
SO-8 package, and only slightly greater than that of an MSOP-8 package.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
•
Connect the input pins to the sensing resistor using a Kelvin or 4-wire connection. This connection technique
makes sure that only the current-sensing resistor impedance is detected between the input pins. Poor routing
of the current-sensing resistor commonly results in additional resistance present between the input pins.
Given the very low ohmic value of the current resistor, any additional high-current carrying impedance can
cause significant measurement errors.
Place the power-supply bypass capacitor as close as possible to the device power supply and ground pins.
The recommended value of this bypass capacitor is 0.1 µF. Additional decoupling capacitance can be added
to compensate for noisy or high-impedance power supplies.
When routing the connections from the current sense resistor to the device, keep the trace lengths as close
as possible in order to minimize any impedance mismatch.
