5-Pin, SOT-23 Packages
Input common-mode and power-supply voltages are
independent and can range from 2.7 V to 40 V for the
INA139 and 2.7 V to 60 V for the INA169. Quiescent
current is only 60 µA, which permits connecting the
power supply to either side of the current
measurement shunt with minimal error.
The device converts a differential input voltage to a
current output. This current is converted back to a
voltage with an external load resistor that sets any
gain from 1 to over 100. Although designed for
current shunt measurement, the circuit invites
creative applications in measurement and level
shifting.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The INA139 and INA169 devices are comprised of a high voltage, precision operational amplifier, precision thin
film resistors trimmed in production to an absolute tolerance and a low noise output transistor. The INA139 and
INA169 devices can be powered from a single power supply and their input voltages can exceed the power
supply voltage. The INA139 and INA169 devices are ideal for measuring small differential voltages, such as
those generated across a shunt resistor in the presence of large, common-mode voltages. See the Functional
Block Diagram, which illustrates the functional components within both the INA139 and INA169 devices.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Output Voltage Range
The output of the INA139 is a current, which is converted to a voltage by the load resistor (RL). The output
current remains accurate within the compliance voltage range of the output circuitry. The shunt voltage and the
input common-mode and power-supply voltages limit the maximum possible output swing. The maximum output
voltage compliance is limited by the lower of Equation 1 and Equation 2.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Bandwidth
Measurement bandwidth is affected by the value of the load resistor (RL). High gain produced by high values of
RL yield a narrower measurement bandwidth (see the Typical Characteristics graphs). For widest possible
bandwidth, keep the capacitive load on the output to a minimum. Reduction in bandwidth due to capacitive load
is shown in the Typical Characteristics graphs.
If bandwidth limiting (filtering) is desired, a capacitor can be added to the output (see Figure 12). This does not
cause instability.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
For proper operation the INA139 and INA169 devices must operate within their specified limits. Operating either
device outside of their specified power supply voltage range or their specified common-mode range results in
unexpected behavior and is not recommended. Additionally operating the output beyond their specified limits with
respect to power supply voltage and input common-mode voltage will also produce unexpected results. See the
Electrical Characteristics table for device specifications.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
8.1.1 Operation
Figure 9 illustrates the basic circuit diagram for both the INA139 and INA169. Load current IS is drawn from
supply VS through shunt resistor RS. The voltage drop in shunt resistor VS is forced across RG1 by the internal
operational amplifier, causing current to flow into the collector of Q1. The external resistor RL converts the output
current to a voltage, VOUT, at the OUT pin.
The transfer function for the INA139 is given by Equation 3:
IO
g m V IN
V IN
where
•
gm = 1000 µA/V
(3)
In the circuit of Figure 9, the input voltage (VIN+ – VIN–) is equal to IS × RS and the output voltage(VOUT) is equal
to IO × RL. The transconductance (gm) of the INA139 is 1000 µA/V. The complete transfer function for the current
measurement amplifier in this application is given by Equation 4:
V OUT
I S R S 1000 µA / V R L
(4)
The maximum differential input voltage for accurate measurements is 0.5 V, which produces a 500-µA output
current. A differential input voltage of up to 2 V will not cause damage. Differential measurements (pins 3 and 4)
must be unipolar with a more-positive voltage applied to pin 3. If a more-negative voltage is applied to pin 3, the
output current, IO, is zero, but it will not cause damage.

The INA139 is designed for current shunt measurement circuits, as shown in Figure 9, but its basic function is
useful in a wide range of circuitry. A creative engineer will find many unforeseen uses in measurement and level
shifting circuits. A few ideas are illustrated in Figure 14 through Figure 18.

Typical Applications (continued)
8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.1.2.1 Selecting RS and RL
In Figure 9 the value selected for the shunt resistor ( RS) depends on the application and is a compromise
between small-signal accuracy and maximum permissible voltage loss in the measurement line. High values of
RS provide better accuracy at lower currents by minimizing the effects of offset, while low values of RS minimize
voltage loss in the supply line. For most applications, best performance is attained with an RS value that provides
a full-scale shunt voltage of 50 mV to 100 mV; maximum input voltage for accurate measurements is 500 mV.
RL is selected to provide the desired full-scale output voltage. The output impedance of the INA139 and INA169
OUT terminal is very high, which permits using values of RL up to 100 kΩ with excellent accuracy. The input
impedance of any additional circuitry at the output must be much higher than the value of RL to avoid degrading
accuracy.
Some analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have input impedances that significantly affect measurement gain. The
input impedance of the ADC can be included as part of the effective RL if the input can be modeled as a resistor
to ground. Alternatively, an operational amplifier can be used to buffer the ADC input, as shown in Figure 10. The
INA139 and INA169 are current output devices, and have an inherently large output impedance. The output
currents from the amplifier are converted to an output voltage through the load resistor (RL) connected from the
amplifier output to ground. The ratio of the load resistor value to that of the internal resistor value determines the
voltage gain of the system.
In many applications, digitizing the output of the INA139 or INA169 devices is required. This is accomplished by
connecting the output of the amplifier to an ADC. It is very common for an ADC to have a dynamic input
impedance. If the INA139 or INA169 output is connected directly to an ADC input, the input impedance of the
ADC is effectively connected in parallel with the gain setting resistor (RL.) This parallel impedance combination
affects the gain of the system and the impact on the gain is difficult to estimate accurately. A simple solution that
eliminates the paralleling of impedances, simplifying the gain of the circuit is to place a buffer amplifier (such as
the OPA340) between the output of the INA139 or INA169 devices and the input to the ADC.
Figure 10 illustrates this concept. A low-pass filter can be placed between the OPA340 output and the input to
the ADC. The filter capacitor is required to provide any instantaneous demand for current required by the input
stage of the ADC. The filter resistor is required to isolate the OPA340 output from the filter capacitor to maintain
circuit stability. The values for the filter components vary according to the operational amplifier used for the buffer
and the particular ADC selected. For more information regarding the design of the low-pass filter, see the 16-bit
1-MSPS Data Acquisition Reference Design for Single-Ended Multiplexed Applications TI Precision Design.
Figure 11 shows the expected results when driving an analog-to-digital converter at 1 MSPS with and without
buffering the INA139 or INA169 output. Without the buffer, the high impedance of the INA139 or INA169 reacts
with the input capacitance and sample and hold (S/H) capacitance of the analog-to-digital converter and does not
allow the S/H to reach the correct final value before the S/H resets and the next conversion starts. Adding the
buffer amplifier significantly reduces the output impedance driving the S/H and allows for higher conversion rates
than can be achieved without adding the buffer.

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
A low-pass filter can be formed at the output of the INA139 or INA169 devices simply by placing a capacitor of
the desired value in parallel with the load resistor. First, determine the value of the load resistor required to
achieve the desired gain. See the table in Figure 9. Next, determine the capacitor value that results in the
desired cutoff frequency according to the equation shown in Figure 12. Figure 13 illustrates various combinations
of gain settings (determined by RL) and filter capacitors.

8.2.3 Offsetting the Output Voltage
For many applications using only a single power supply, it may be required to level shift the output voltage away
from ground when there is no load current flowing in the shunt resistor. Level shifting the output of the INA139 or
INA169 devices is easily accomplished by one of two simple methods shown in Figure 14. The method on the
left hand side of Figure 14 illustrates a simple voltage divider method. This method is useful for applications that
require the output of the INA139 or INA169 devices to remain centered with respect to the power supply at zero
load current through the shunt resistor. Using this method the gain is determined by the parallel combination of
R1 and R2, while the output offset is determined by the voltage divider ratio R1 and R2. For applications that may
require a fixed value of output offset independent of the power supply voltage, TI recommends using the current
source method shown on the right hand side of Figure 14 . With this method, a REF200 constant current source
is used to generate a constant output offset. Using this method. the gain is determined by RL and the offset is
determined by the product of the value of the current source and RL.

8.2.4 Bipolar Current Measurement
The INA139 or INA169 devices can be configured as shown in Figure 15 in applications where measuring current
bi-directionally is required. Two INA devices are required connecting their inputs across the shunt resistor as
shown in Figure 15. A comparator, such as the TLV3201, is used to detect the polarity of the load current. The
magnitude of the load current is monitored across the resistor connected between ground and the connection
labeled Output. In this example the 20-kΩ resistor results in a gain of 20 V/V. The 10-kΩ resistors connected in
series with the INA139 or INA169 output current are used to develop a voltage across the comparator inputs.
Two diodes are required to prevent current flow into the INA139 or INA169 output, as only one device at a time is
providing current to the Output connection of the circuit. The circuit functionality is illustrated in Figure 16.

8.2.5 Bipolar Current Measurement Using a Differential Input of the A/D Converter
The INA139 or INA169 devices can be used with an ADC such as the ADS7870 programmed for differential
mode operation. Figure 17 illustrates this configuration. In this configuration, the use of two devices allows for
bidirectional current measurement. Depending upon the polarity of the current, one of the devices provides an
output voltage while the other output is zero. In this way, the ADC reads the polarity of current directly, without
requiring additional circuitry.

8.2.6 Multiplexed Measurement Using Logic Signal for Power
Multiple loads can be measured as illustrated in Figure 18. In this configuration, each INA139 or INA169 device
is powered by the digital I/O from the ADS7870. Multiplex each device by switching the desired I/O on or off.
Other INA169s
Digital I/O on the ADS7870 provides power to
select the desired INA169. Diodes prevent
output current of an on INA169 from flowing
into an off INA169.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The input circuitry of the INA139 can accurately measure beyond the power-supply voltage (V+). For example,
the V+ power supply can be 5 V, whereas the load power supply voltage is up to 40 V (or 60 V with the INA169).
However, the output voltage range of the OUT terminal is limited by the lesser of the two voltages (see the
Output Voltage Range section). TI recommends placing a 0.1-µF capacitor near the V+ pin on the INA139 or
INA169. Additional capacitance may be required for applications with noisy supply voltages.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Figure 19 shows the basic connection of the INA139. The input pins (VIN+ and VIN–) must be connected as
closely as possible to the shunt resistor to minimize any resistance in series with the shunt resistance. The
output resistor, RL, is shown connected between pin 1 and ground. Best accuracy is achieved with the output
voltage measured directly across RL. This is especially important in high-current systems where load current
could flow in the ground connections, affecting the measurement accuracy.
No power-supply bypass capacitors are required for stability of the INA139. However, applications with noisy or
high-impedance power supplies may require decoupling capacitors to reject power-supply noise; connect the
bypass capacitors close to the device pins.
