7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The INA139-Q1 and INA169-Q1 devices (INA1x9-Q1) 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 INA1x9-Q1 are powered from a single power supply, and the input voltages can exceed the
power-supply voltage. The INA1x9-Q1 are ideal for measuring small differential voltages, such as those
generated across a shunt resistor in the presence of large, common-mode voltages. The Functional Block
Diagram illustrates the functional components within both the INA139-Q1 and INA169-Q1 devices.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Output Voltage Range
The output of the INA1x9-Q1 is a current that 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 (VOUT MAX) compliance is limited by either Equation 1 and Equation 2, whichever is lower:
VOUT MAX = (V+) − 0.7 V − (VIN+ − VIN−)
(1)
VOUT MAX = VIN− − 0.5 V
(2)
or
7.3.2 Bandwidth
Measurement bandwidth is affected by the value of the load resistor, RL. High gain produced by high values of
RL yields a narrower measurement bandwidth (see the Typical Characteristics section). For the 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.
If bandwidth limiting (filtering) is desired, add a capacitor can be added to the output (see Figure 12). This
capacitor does not cause instability.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
For proper operation, the INA1x9-Q1 must operate within the 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 the specified limits, with respect to
power supply voltage and input common-mode voltage, also produces unexpected results. See the Electrical
Characteristics for the 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-Q1 and INA169-Q1. Load current IS is drawn
from supply VP through shunt resistor RS. The voltage drop in shunt resistor RS is forced across RG1 by the
internal op amp, causing current to flow into the collector of Q1. External resistor RL converts the output current,
IO, to a voltage, VOUT, at the OUT pin. The transfer function for the INA1x9-Q1 is given by Equation 3:
IO = gm (VIN+ − VIN−)
where
•
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 INA1x9-Q1 is 1000 μA/V. The complete transfer function for the
current measurement amplifier in this application is given by Equation 4:
VOUT = (IS) (RS) (1000 μA/V) (RL)
(4)
The maximum differential input voltage for accurate measurements is 0.5 V, producing a 500-μA output current.
A differential input voltage of up to 2 V does not cause damage. Differential measurements (VIN+ and VIN− pins)
must be unipolar, with a more-positive voltage applied to the VIN+ pin. If a more-negative voltage is applied to
VIN+ pin, IO goes to zero, but no damage occurs.

8.2 Typical Applications
The INA1x9-Q1 are designed for current-shunt measurement circuits, as shown in Figure 9, but the basic
function is useful in a wide range of circuitry. With a little creativity, many unforeseen uses are found in
measurement and level shifting circuits. A few ideas are illustrated in the following subsections.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.1.2.1 Selecting RS and RL
In Figure 10, the value chosen 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 range of 50 mV to 100 mV. Maximum input voltage for accurate measurements is 500
mV.
Choose an RL that provides the desired full-scale output voltage. The output impedance of the INA1x9-Q1 OUT
pin is very high, permitting the use of RL values 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 ADCs have input impedances that significantly affect measurement gain. The input impedance of the A/D
converter can be included as part of the effective RL if its input can be modeled as a resistor to ground.
Alternatively, an op amp can be used to buffer the ADC input, as shown in Figure 10. The INA1x9-Q1 are current
output devices, and as such have an inherently large output impedance. The output currents from the amplifier
are converted to an output voltage using 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.

SGLS185F – SEPTEMBER 2003 – REVISED MAY 2016

In many applications, digitizing the output of the INA1x9-Q1 is required. Digitizing 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
INA1x9-Q1 output is connected directly to an ADC input, the input impedance of the ADC is effectively connected
in parallel with 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, and simplifies the gain of the circuit is to place a buffer amplifier, such as the OPA340, between the
output of the INA1x9-Q1 and the input to the ADC.
Figure 10 illustrates this concept. Notice that a low-pass filter is 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 in
order 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. More information regarding the design of the low-pass filter
is found in the TI Precision Design, 16 bit 1MSPS Data Acquisition Reference Design for Single-Ended
Multiplexed Applications, TIPD173.
Figure 11 shows the expected results when driving an ADC at 1 MSPS with and without buffering the INA1x9-Q1
output. Without the buffer, the high impedance of the INA1x9-Q1 reacts with the input capacitance and sampleand-hold capacitance of the ADC, and does not allow the sampled value to reach the correct final value before
the ADC is reset, and the next conversion starts. Adding the buffer amplifier significantly reduces the output
impedance driving the sample-and-hold circuitry, and allows for higher conversion rates.

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
A low-pass filter can be formed at the output of the INA1x9-Q1 simply by placing a capacitor of the desired value
in parallel with the load resistor. First, determine the value of the load resistor needed to achieve the desired gain
by using Table 1. Next, determine the capacitor value that results in the desired cutoff frequency according to the
equation shown in Figure 12. Figure 13 shows the frequency response with different RL values and a fixed filter
capacitor.

8.2.3 Offsetting the Output Voltage
For many applications using only a single power supply, the output voltage may have to be level shifted away
from ground when there is no load current flowing in the shunt resistor. Level shifting the output of the INA1x9Q1 is easily accomplished by one of two simple methods shown in Figure 14. Method (a) 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 INA1x9-Q1 to remain centered with respect to the power supply at a 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 of R1 and R2, as shown in Figure 14(a). For applications
that require a fixed value of output offset independent of the power supply voltage, use current-source method
(b), 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 his 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
Configure the INA1x9-Q1 as shown in Figure 15 for applications where bidirectional current measurement is
required. Two INA1x9-Q1 devices are required; connect the 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 INA1x9-Q1 output current are used to develop a voltage across the comparator inputs. Two diodes are
required to prevent current flow into the INA1x9-Q1 output because only one device at a time provides current to
the Output connection of the circuit. The circuit functionality is illustrated in Figure 16.

8.2.5 Bipolar Current Measurement Using Differential Input of the ADC
Use the INA1x9-Q1 with an ADC, such as the ADS7870, programmed for differential-mode operation; Figure 17
illustrates this configuration. In this configuration, the use of two INA138-Q1s or INA168-Q1s allows for
bidirectional current measurement. Depending on the polarity of the current, one of the INA devices provides an
output voltage, while the other INA device output is zero. In this way, the ADC reads the polarity of current
directly, without the need for additional circuitry.

8.2.6 Multiplexed Measurement Using Logic Signal for Power
Measure multiple loads as shown in Figure 18. In this configuration, each INA1x9-Q1 device is powered by the
digital I/O from the ADS7870. Multiplexing is achieved by switching on or off each desired I/O.
Other INA169-Q1s
Digital I/O on the ADS7870 provides power to
select the desired INA169-Q1. Diodes prevent
output current of an on INA169-Q1 from flowing
into an off INA169-Q1.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The input circuitry of the INA1x9-Q1 can accurately measure beyond its power-supply voltage, V+. For example,
the V+ power supply can be 5 V, whereas the load power-supply voltage goes up to 36 V with the INA138-Q1, or
60 V with the INA168-Q1. However, the output voltage range of the OUT pin is limited by the lesser of the two
voltages (see the Output Voltage Range section). Place a 0.1-µF capacitor near the V+ pin on the INA1x9-Q1.
Additional capacitance may be required for applications with noisy supply voltages.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Figure 9 shows the basic connection of the INA1x9-Q1. Connect input pins VIN+ and VIN− as closely as possible
to the shunt resistor to minimize any resistance in series with the shunt resistance. Output resistor RL is shown
connected between the OUT pin and ground. Best accuracy is achieved with the output voltage measured
directly across RL. Measuring directly across RL is especially important in high-current systems where load
current could flow in the ground connections and affect measurement accuracy.
No power-supply bypass capacitors are required for stability of the INA1x9-Q1. However, applications with noisy
or high-impedance power supplies may require decoupling capacitors to reject power-supply noise. Connect
bypass capacitors close to the device pins.
