SBOS662B – JULY 2016 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2018
INA240 High- and Low-Side, Bidirectional, Zero-Drift, Current-Sense Amplifier With
Enhanced PWM Rejection
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The INA240 device is a voltage-output, current-sense
amplifier with enhanced PWM rejection that can
sense drops across shunt resistors over a wide
common-mode voltage range from –4 V to 80 V,
independent of the supply voltage. The negative
common-mode voltage allows the device to operate
below ground, accommodating the flyback period of
typical solenoid applications. Enhanced PWM
rejection provides high levels of suppression for large
common-mode transients (ΔV/Δt) in systems that use
pulse width modulation (PWM) signals (such as motor
drives and solenoid control systems). This feature
allows for accurate current measurements without
large transients and associated recovery ripple on the
output voltage.
•
•
This device operates from a single 2.7-V to 5.5-V
power supply, drawing a maximum of 2.4 mA of
supply current. Four fixed gains are available: 20 V/V,
50 V/V, 100 V/V, and 200 V/V. The low offset of the
zero-drift architecture enables current sensing with
maximum drops across the shunt as low as 10-mV
full-scale. All versions are specified over the extended
operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), and
are offered in an 8-pin TSSOP and 8-pin SOIC
packages.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The INA240 is a current-sense amplifier that offers a wide common-mode range, precision, zero-drift topology,
excellent common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR), and features enhanced pulse width modulation (PWM) rejection.
Enhanced PWM rejection reduces the effect of common-mode transients on the output signal that are associated
with PWM signals. Multiple gain versions are available to allow for the optimization of the desired full-scale output
voltage based on the target current range expected in the application.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Amplifier Input Signal
The INA240 is designed to handle large common-mode transients over a wide voltage range. Input signals from
current measurement applications for linear and PWM applications can be connected to the amplifier to provide a
highly accurate output, with minimal common-mode transient artifacts.
8.3.1.1 Enhanced PWM Rejection Operation
The enhanced PWM rejection feature of the INA240 provides increased attenuation of large common-mode
ΔV/Δt transients. Large ΔV/Δt common-mode transients associated with PWM signals are employed in
applications such as motor or solenoid drive and switching power supplies. Traditionally, large ΔV/Δt commonmode transitions are handled strictly by increasing the amplifier signal bandwidth, which can increase chip size,
complexity and ultimately cost. The INA240 is designed with high common-mode rejection techniques to reduce
large ΔV/Δt transients before the system is disturbed as a result of these large signals. The high AC CMRR, in
conjunction with signal bandwidth, allows the INA240 to provide minimal output transients and ringing compared
with standard circuit approaches.
8.3.1.2 Input Signal Bandwidth
The INA240 input signal, which represents the current being measured, is accurately measured with minimal
disturbance from large ΔV/Δt common-mode transients as previously described. For PWM signals typically
associated with motors, solenoids, and other switching applications, the current being monitored varies at a
significantly slower rate than the faster PWM frequency.
The INA240 bandwidth is defined by the –3-dB bandwidth of the current-sense amplifier inside the device; see
the Electrical Characteristics table. The device bandwidth provides fast throughput and fast response required for
the rapid detection and processing of overcurrent events. Without the higher bandwidth, protection circuitry may
not have adequate response time and damage may occur to the monitored application or circuit.

Feature Description (continued)
Figure 24 shows the performance profile of the device over frequency. Harmonic distortion increases at the
upper end of the amplifier bandwidth with no adverse change in detection of overcurrent events. However,
increased distortion at the highest frequencies must be considered when the measured current bandwidth begins
to approach the INA240 bandwidth.
For applications requiring distortion sensitive signals, Figure 24 provides information to show that there is an
optimal frequency performance range for the amplifier. The full amplifier bandwidth is always available for fast
overcurrent events at the same time that the lower frequency signals are amplified at a low distortion level. The
output signal accuracy is reduced for frequencies closer to the maximum bandwidth. Individual requirements
determine the acceptable limits of distortion for high-frequency, current-sensing applications. Testing and
evaluation in the end application or circuit is required to determine the acceptance criteria and to validate the
performance levels meet the system specifications.

8.3.2 Selecting the Sense Resistor (RSENSE)
The INA240 determines the current magnitude from measuring the differential voltage developed across a
resistor. This resistor is referred to as a current-sensing resistor or a current-shunt resistor. The flexible design of
the device allows a wide input signal range across this current-sensing resistor.
The current-sensing resistor is ideally chosen solely based on the full-scale current to be measured, the full-scale
input range of the circuitry following the device, and the device gain selected. The minimum current-sensing
resistor is a design-based decision in order to maximize the input range of the signal chain circuitry. Full-scale
output signals that are not maximized to the full input range of the system circuitry limit the ability of the system
to exercise the full dynamic range of system control.
Two important factors to consider when finalizing the current-sensing resistor value are: the required current
measurement accuracy and the maximum power dissipation across the resistor. A larger resistor voltage
provides for a more accurate measurement, but increases the power dissipation in the resistor. The increased
power dissipation generates heat, which reduces the sense resistor accuracy because of the temperature
coefficient. The voltage signal measurement uncertainty is reduced when the input signal gets larger because
any fixed errors become a smaller percentage of the measured signal. The design trade-off to improve
measurement accuracy increases the current-sensing resistor value. The increased resistance value results in an
increased power dissipation in the system which can additionally decrease the overall system accuracy. Based
on these relationships, the measurement accuracy is inversely proportional to both the resistance value and
power dissipation contributed by the current-shunt selection.

Feature Description (continued)
By increasing the current-shunt resistor, the differential voltage is increased across the resistor. Larger input
differential voltages require a smaller amplifier gain to achieve a full-scale amplifier output voltage. Smaller
current-shunt resistors are desired but require large amplifier gain settings. The larger gain settings often have
increased error and noise parameters, which are not attractive for precision designs. Historically, the design
goals for high-performance measurements forced designers to accept selecting larger current-sense resistors
and the lower gain amplifier settings. The INA240 provides 100-V/V and 200-V/V gain options that offer the highgain setting and maintains high-performance levels with offset values below 25 µV. These devices allow for the
use of lower shunt resistor values to achieve lower power dissipation and still meet high system performance
specifications.
Table 1 shows an example of the different results obtained from using two different gain versions of the INA240.
From the table data, the higher gain device allows a smaller current-shunt resistor and decreased power
dissipation in the element. The Calculating Total Error section provides information on the error calculations that
must be considered in addition to the gain and current-shunt value when designing with the INA240.

NOTE
Do not connect the REF1 pin or the REF2 pin to any voltage source lower than GND or

The output voltage is set by applying a voltage or voltages to the reference voltage inputs, REF1 and REF2. The
reference inputs are connected to an internal gain network. There is no operational difference between the two
reference pins.
8.4.2 Reference Pin Connections for Unidirectional Current Measurements
Unidirectional operation allows current measurements through a resistive shunt in one direction. For
unidirectional operation, connect the device reference pins together and then to the negative rail (see the Ground
Referenced Output section) or the positive rail (see the VS Referenced Output section). The required differential
input polarity depends on the output voltage setting. The amplifier output moves away from the referenced rail
proportional to the current passing through the external shunt resistor. If the amplifier reference pins are
connected to the positive rail, then the input polarity must be negative to move the amplifier output down
(towards ground). If the amplifier reference pins are connected at ground, then the input polarity must be positive
to move the amplifier output up (towards supply).
The following sections describe how to configure the output for unidirectional operation cases.
8.4.2.1 Ground Referenced Output
When using the INA240 in a unidirectional mode with a ground referenced output, both reference inputs are
connected to ground; this configuration takes the output to ground when there is a 0-V differential at the input (as
Figure 26 shows).

8.4.3 Reference Pin Connections for Bidirectional Current Measurements
Bidirectional operation allows the INA240 to measure currents through a resistive shunt in two directions. For this
operation case, the output voltage can be set anywhere within the reference input limits. A common configuration
is to set the reference inputs at half-scale for equal range in both directions. However, the reference inputs can
be set to a voltage other than half-scale when the bidirectional current is non-symmetrical.
8.4.3.1 Output Set to External Reference Voltage
Connecting both pins together and then to a reference voltage results in an output voltage equal to the reference
voltage for the condition of shorted input pins or a 0-V differential input; this configuration is shown in Figure 28.
The output voltage decreases below the reference voltage when the IN+ pin is negative relative to the IN– pin
and increases when the IN+ pin is positive relative to the IN– pin. This technique is the most accurate way to
bias the output to a precise voltage.

connected directly to supply, ground, or a low-impedance reference voltage. The REF pins can be connected
together and biased using a resistor divider to achieve a custom output voltage. If the amplifier is used in this
configuration, as shown in Figure 31, use the output as a differential signal with respect to the resistor divider
voltage. Use of the amplifier output as a single-ended signal in this configuration is not recommended because
the internal impedance shifts can adversely affect device performance specifications.

8.4.4 Calculating Total Error
The INA240 electrical specifications (see the Electrical Characteristics table) include 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. In order to accurately calculate the expected
error of the device, the device operating conditions must first be known. 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 point has limited value because any deviation from these
specific operating conditions no longer yields the same total error value. This section discusses the individual
error sources and how the device total error value can be calculated from the combination of these errors for
specific conditions.
Two examples are provided in Table 2 and Table 3 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 is present from device to device.
8.4.4.1 Error Sources
The typical error sources that have the largest effect on the total error of the device are gain error, nonlinearity,
common-mode rejection ratio, and input offset voltage error. For the INA240, an additional error source (referred
to as the reference voltage rejection ratio) is also included in the total error value.

9 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.
9.1 Application Information
The INA240 measures the voltage developed as current flows across the current-sensing resistor. The device
provides reference pins to configure operation as either unidirectional or bidirectional output swing. When using
the INA240 for inline motor current sense, the device is commonly configured for bidirectional operation.
9.1.1 Input Filtering
NOTE
Input filters are not required for accurate measurements using the INA240, and use of
filters in this location is not recommended. If filter components are used on the input of the
amplifier, follow the guidelines in this section to minimize the effects on performance.
Based strictly on user design requirements, external filtering of the current signal may be desired. The initial
location that can be considered for the filter is at the output of the current amplifier. Although placing the filter at
the output satisfies the filtering requirements, this location changes the low output impedance measured by any
circuitry connected to the output voltage pin. The other location for filter placement is at the current amplifier
input pins. This location satisfies the filtering requirement also, however the components must be carefully
selected to minimally impact device performance. Figure 32 shows a filter placed at the inputs pins.

Figure 32. Filter at Input Pins
External series resistance provide a source of additional measurement error, so keep the value of these series
resistors to 10-Ω or less to reduce loss of accuracy. The internal bias network shown in Figure 32 creates a
mismatch in input bias currents (see Figure 33) when a differential voltage is applied between the input pins. If
additional external series filter resistors are added to the circuit, a mismatch is created in the voltage drop across
the filter resistors. This voltage is a differential error voltage in the shunt resistor voltage. In addition to the
absolute resistor value, mismatch resulting from resistor tolerance can significantly impact the error because this
value is calculated based on the actual measured resistance.

9.2.1.1 Design Requirements
Inline current sensing has many advantages in motor control, from torque ripple reduction to real-time motor
health monitoring. However, the full-scale PWM voltage requirements for inline current measurements provide
challenges to accurately measure the current. Switching frequencies in the 50-kHz to 100-kHz range create
higher ΔV/Δt signal transitions that must be addressed to obtain accurate inline current measurements.
With a superior common-mode rejection capability, high precision, and a high common-mode specification, the
INA240 provides performance for a wide range of common-mode voltages.
9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
For this application, the INA240 measures current in the drive circuitry of a 36-V, 4000-RPM motor.
To demonstrate the performance of the device, the INA240A1 with a gain of 20 V/V was selected for this design
and powered from a 5-V supply.
Using the information in the Adjusting the Output Midpoint With the Reference Pins section, the reference point is
set to midscale by splitting the supply with REF1 connected to ground and REF2 connected to supply. This
configuration allows for bipolar current measurements. Alternatively, the reference pins can be tied together and
driven with an external precision reference.
The current-sensing resistor is sized so that the output of the INA240 is not saturated. A value of 100-mΩ was
selected to maintain the analog input within the device limits.

9.3 Do's and Don'ts
9.3.1 High-Precision Applications
For high-precision applications, verify accuracy and stability of the amplifier by:
• Providing a precision reference connected to REF1 and REF2
• Optimizing the layout of the power and sensing path of the sense resistor (see the Layout section)
• Providing adequate bypass capacitance on the supply pin (see the Power Supply Decoupling section)
9.3.2 Kelvin Connection from the Current-Sense Resistor
To provide accurate current measurements, verify the routing between the current-sense resistor and the
amplifier uses a Kelvin connection. Use the information provided in Figure 38 and the Connection to the CurrentSense Resistor section during device layout.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The INA240 series makes accurate measurements beyond the connected power-supply voltage (VS) because
the inputs (IN+ and IN–) operate anywhere between –4 V and 80 V independent of VS. For example, the VS
power supply equals 5 V and the common-mode voltage of the measured shunt can be as high as 80 V.
Although the common-mode voltage of the input can be beyond the supply voltage, the output voltage range of
the INA240 series is constrained to the supply voltage.
10.1 Power Supply Decoupling
Place the power-supply bypass capacitor as close as possible to the supply and ground pins. TI recommends a
bypass capacitor value of 0.1 μF. Additional decoupling capacitance can be added to compensate for noisy or
high-impedance power supplies.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
11.1.1 Connection to the Current-Sense Resistor
Poor routing of the current-sensing resistor can result in additional resistance between the input pins of the
amplifier. Any additional high-current carrying impedance can cause significant measurement errors because the
current resistor has a very-low-ohmic value. Use a Kelvin or 4-wire connection to connect to the device input
pins. This connection technique ensures that only the current-sensing resistor impedance is detected between
the input pins.
