•
•
•
The INA216 is a high-side voltage output current
shunt monitor that can sense drops across shunts at
common-mode voltages from +1.8V to +5.5V. Four
fixed gains are available: 25V/V, 50V/V, 100V/V, and
200V/V. The low offset of the Zerø-Drift architecture
enables current sensing with maximum drops across
the shunt as low as 10mV full-scale, or with wide
dynamic ranges of over 1000:1.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

the shunt placed between where the current shunt

even small amounts of additional impedance in series
with the shunt resistor can significantly affect the
differential voltage present at the INA216 input pins.

Figure 20 shows a proper Kelvin, or four-wire,
connection of the shunt resistor to the INA216 input
pins. This connection helps ensure that the only
impedance between the current monitor input pins is
the shunt resistor.
The INA216 does not have a dedicated power-supply
pin. Instead, an internal connection to the IN+ pin
serves as the power supply for this device. Because
the INA216 is powered from the IN+ pin, the
common-mode input range is limited on the low end
to 1.8V. Therefore, the INA216 cannot be used as a
low-side current shunt monitor.
Selecting RS
The selection of the value of the shunt resistor (RS) to
use with the INA216 is based on the specific
operating conditions and requirements of the
application. The starting point for selecting the
resistor is to first determine the desired full-scale
output from the INA216. The INA216 is available in
four gain options: 25, 50, 100, and 200. By dividing
the desired full-scale output by each of the gain
options, there are then four available differential input
voltages that can achieve the desired full-scale output
voltage, given that the appropriate gain device is
used. With four values for the total voltage that is to
be dropped across the shunt, the decision on how
much of a drop is allowed in the application must be
made. Most applications have a maximum drop
allowed to ensure that the load receives the required
voltage necessary to operate. Assuming that there
are now multiple shunt voltages that are acceptable
(based on the design criteria), the choice of what
value shunt resistor to use can be made based on
accuracy. As a result of the INA216 auto-zero
architecture, the input offset voltage is extremely low.
However, even the 100μV maximum input offset
voltage specification plays a role in the decision of
which shunt resistor value to choose. With a larger
shunt voltage present at the current shunt monitor
input, less error is introduced by the input offset
voltage.

SBOS503C – JUNE 2010 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2011

These comments have framed the decision on what
the shunt resistor value should be, based on the
full-scale value; but many applications require
accurate measurements at levels as low as 10% of
the full-scale value. At this level, the input offset
voltage of the current shunt monitor becomes a larger
percentage of the shunt voltage, and thus contributes
a larger error to the output. The percentage of error
created by the input offset voltage relative to the
shunt voltage is shown in Equation 1.
VOS
Error_VOS =
? 100
VSENSE
(1)
Ideally, the differential input voltage at 10% would be
increased to minimize the effects of the input offset
voltage; however, we are bound by the full-scale
value. The full-scale output voltage on the INA216 is
limited to 200mV below the supply voltage (IN+).
Selecting a shunt resistor to increase the shunt
voltage at the low operating range of the load current
could easily saturate the output of the current shunt
monitor at the full-scale load current. For applications
where accuracy over a larger range is needed, a
lower gain option (and therefore, a larger differential
input voltage) is selected. For applications where a
minimal voltage drop on the line that powers the load
is required, a higher gain option (and so, a smaller
differential input voltage) is selected.
For example, consider a design that requires a
full-scale output voltage of 4V, a maximum load
current of 10A, and a maximum voltage drop on the
common-mode line of 25mV. The 25mV maximum
voltage drop requirement and a 4V full-scale output
limits the gain option to the 200V/V device. A 100V/V
setting would require a maximum voltage drop of
40mV with the other two lower gain versions creating
larger voltage drops. Based on the gain of 200 on a
4V full-scale output, the maximum differential input
voltage would be 20mV. The shunt resistor needed to
create a 20mV drop with a 10A load current is 2mΩ.
When choosing the proper shunt resistor, it is also
important to consider that at higher currents, the
power dissipation in the shunt resistor becomes
greater. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the drift
of the sense resistor as a result of power dissipation,
and choose an appropriate resistor based on its
power wattage rating.

Calculating Total Error
The electrical specifications for the INA216 include
the typical individual errors terms such as gain error,
offset error, and nonlinearity error. Total error
including all of these individual error components is
not specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. To
accurately calculate the error that can be expected
from the device, we must first know the operating
conditions to which the device is subjected. Some
current shunt monitors specify a total error in the
product data sheet. However, this total error term is
accurate under only one particular set of operating
conditions. Specifying the total error at this one point
has little practical value, though, because any
deviation from these specific operating conditions no
longer yields the same total error value. This section
discusses the individual error sources, with
information on how to apply them in order to calculate
the total error value for the device under normal
operating conditions.
The typical error sources that have the largest impact
on the total error of the device are input offset
voltage, common-mode voltage rejection, gain error,
and nonlinearity error.
The nonlinearity error of the INA216 is relatively low
compared to the gain error specification, which
results in a gain error that can be expected to be
relatively constant throughout the linear input range of
the device. While the gain error remains constant
across the linear input range of the device, the error
associated with the input offset voltage does not. As
the differential input voltage developed across a
shunt resistor at the input of the INA216 decreases,
the inherent input offset voltage of the device
becomes a larger percentage of the measured input
signal, resulting in an increase in measurement error.
This varying error is present among all current shunt
monitors, given the input offset voltage ratio to the
voltage being sensed by the device. The low input
offset voltages present in the INA216 devices,
however, limit the amount of contribution the offset
voltage has on the total error term.
Two examples are provided that detail how different
operating conditions can affect the total error
calculations. Typical and maximum calculations are
shown as well to provide the user more information
on how much error variance could be present from
device to device.

Input Filtering
An ideal location where filtering is implemented is at
the inputs for a device. Placing an input filter in front
of the INA216, though, is not recommended but can
be implemented if it is determined to be necessary.
This location is not recommended for filtering
because adding input filters induces an additional
gain error to the device that can easily exceed the
device maximum gain error specification of 0.2%. In
the INA216, the nominal current into the IN+ pin is in
the range of 13μA while the bias current into the IN–
pin is in the range of approximately 3μA. The current
flowing into the IN+ pin includes both the input bias
current as well as the quiescent current. Where the
issue of input filtering begins to become more of an
issue is that as the quiescent current of the INA216
also flows through the IN+ pin, when the output
begins to drive current, this additional current also
flows through the IN+ pin, creating an even larger
error.
Placing a typical common-mode filter of 10Ω in series
with each input and a 0.1μF capacitor across the
input pins, as shown in Figure 21, introduces an
additional gain error into the system. For example,
consider an application using the INA216A3 with a
full-scale output of 4V, assuming that the device is
not driving any output current. The shunt voltage
needed to create the 4V output with a gain of 100 is
40mV. With 10Ω filter resistors on each input, there is
a difference voltage created that subtracts from the
40mV full-scale differential current. The error can be
calculated using Equation 2.

If filtering is required for the application and the gain
error introduced by the input filter resistors exceeds
the available error budget for this circuit, a filter can
be implemented following the INA216. Placing a filter
at the output of the current shunt monitor is not
typically the ideal location because the benefit of the
low impedance output of the amplifier is lost.
Applications that require the low impedance output
require an additional buffer amplifier that follows the
post current shunt monitor filter.
Using the INA216 With Transients Above 5.5V
With a small amount of additional circuitry, INA216
can be used in circuits subject to transients higher
than 5.5V. Use only zener diode or zener-type
transient absorbers, which are sometimes referred to
as Transzorbs. Any other type of transient absorber
has an unacceptable time delay. To use these
protection devices, resistors are required in series
with the INA216 inputs, as shown in Figure 22. These
resistors serve as a working impedance for the zener.
It is desirable to keep these resistors as small as
possible because of the error described in the Input
Filtering section. These protection resistors are most
often around 10Ω. Larger values can be used with a
greater impact to the total gain error. Because this
circuit limits only short-term transients, many
applications are satisfied with a 10Ω resistor along
with conventional zener diodes of the lowest power
rating that can be found. This combination uses the
least amount of board space. These diodes can be
found in packages as small as SOT-523 or SOD-523.
The use of these protection components may allow
the INA216 to survive from being damaged in
environments where large transients are common.

driving any current). Connecting a 100kΩ load to the
4V output now increases the current by an additional
40μA. This increase in current flowing through the
IN+ pin would change the additional gain error from
0.3% to 1.3%.

As mentioned previously, the current flowing into the
IN+ pin increases once the output begins to drive
current because of the quiescent current also flowing
into the IN+ pin. The previous example resulted in an
additional gain error of 0.3% as a result of the 10Ω
filter resistors (assuming the output stage was not
