INA280 2.7-V to 120-V, 1.1-MHz, High Precision Current Sense Amplifier in Small
(SC-70) Package
1 Features
3 Description
•
The INA280 is a current sense amplifier that can
measure voltage drops across shunt resistors over a
wide common-mode range from 2.7 V to 120 V. It is in
a highly space-efficient SC-70 package with a PCB
footprint of only 2.0 mm × 2.1 mm. The current
measurement accuracy is achieved thanks to the
combination of an ultra-low offset voltage of ±150 µV
(maximum), a small gain error of ±0.5% (maximum),
and a high DC CMRR of 140 dB (typical). The INA280
is not only designed for DC current measurement, but
also for high-speed applications (like fast overcurrent
protection, for example) with a high bandwidth of 1.1
MHz (at gain of 20 V/V) and an 85-dB AC CMRR (at
50 kHz).

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The INA280 is a high-side only current-sense amplifier that offers a wide common-mode range, excellent
common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR), high bandwidth, and fast slew rate. Different gain versions are available
to optimize the output dynamic range based on the application. The INA280 is designed using a
transconductance architecture with a current-feedback amplifier that enables low bias currents of 20 µA and a
common-mode voltage of 120 V.

7.3.1.1 Input-Signal Bandwidth
The INA280 –3-dB bandwidth is gain dependent with several gain options of 20 V/V, 50 V/V, 100 V/V, 200 V/V,
and 500 V/V as shown in Figure 6-2. The unique multistage design enables the amplifier to achieve high
bandwidth at all gains. This high bandwidth provides the throughput and fast response that is required for the
rapid detection and processing of overcurrent events.
The bandwidth of the device also depends on the applied VSENSE voltage. Figure 7-2 shows the bandwidth
performance profile of the device over frequency as output voltage increases for each gain variation. As shown
in Figure 7-2, the device exhibits the highest bandwidth with higher VSENSE voltages, and the bandwidth is higher
with lower device gain options. Individual requirements determine the acceptable limits of error for highfrequency, current-sensing applications. Testing and evaluation in the end application or circuit is required to
determine the acceptance criteria and validate whether or not the performance levels meet the system
specifications.

7.3.1.2 Low Input Bias Current
The INA280 input bias current draws 20 μA (typical) even with common-mode voltages as high as 120 V. This
enables precision current sensing in applications where the sensed current is small or applications that require
lower input leakage current.
7.3.1.3 Multiple Fixed Gain Outputs
The INA280 gain error is < 0.5% at room temperature for all gain options, with a maximum drift of 20ppm/°C over
the full temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C. The INA280 is available in multiple gain options of 20 V/V, 50
V/V, 100 V/V, 200 V/V, and 500 V/V, which the system designer should select based on their desired signal-tonoise ratio and other system requirements.
The INA280 closed-loop gain is set by a precision, low-drift internal resistor network. Even though the ratio of
these resistors are well matched, the absolute value of these reisistors may vary significantly. TI does not
recommend adding additional resistance around the INA280 to change the effective gain because of this
variation, however. The typical values of the gain resistors are described in Table 7-1.

7.3.1.4 Wide Supply Range
The INA280 operates with a wide supply range from a 2.7 V to 20 V. The output stage supports a full-scale
output voltage range of up to VS. Wide output range can enable very-wide dynamic range current
measurements. For a gain of 20 V/V, the maximum differential input acceptable is 1 V.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Unidirectional Operation
The INA280 measures the differential voltage developed by current flowing through a resistor that is commonly
referred to as a current-sensing resistor or a current-shunt resistor. The INA280 operates in unidirectional mode
only, meaning it only senses current sourced from a power supply to a system load as shown in Figure 7-3.

The linear range of the output stage is limited to how close the output voltage can approach ground under zeroinput conditions. The zero current output voltage of the INA280 is very small, with a maximum of GND + 25 mV.
Make sure to apply a sense voltage of (25 mV / Gain) or greater to keep the INA280 output in the linear region of
operation.
7.4.2 High Signal Throughput
With a bandwidth of 1.1 MHz at a gain of 20 V/V and a slew rate of 2 V/µs, the INA280 is specifically designed
for detecting and protecting applications from fast inrush currents. As shown in Table 7-2, the INA280 responds
in less than 2 µs for a system measuring a 75-A threshold on a 2-mΩ shunt.

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
The INA280 amplifies the voltage developed across a current-sensing resistor as current flows through the
resistor to the load. The wide input common-mode voltage range and high common-mode rejection of the
INA280 allows use over a wide range of voltage rails while still maintaining an accurate current measurement.
8.1.1 RSENSE and Device Gain Selection
The accuracy of any current-sense amplifier 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 because of the resistor size and maximum allowable power
dissipation. Equation 1 gives the maximum value for the current-sense resistor for a given power dissipation
budget:
RSENSE
PDMAX
IMAX2
(1)
where:
•
•
PDMAX is the maximum allowable power dissipation in RSENSE.
IMAX is the maximum current that will flow through RSENSE.
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. 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 exceeding the positive swing limitation.
IMAX ª RSENSE ª *$,1 < VSP
(2)
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.
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 the sense resistor value can be for a given application.
Equation 3 provides the limit on the minimum value of the sense resistor.

8.1.2 Input Filtering
Note
Input filters are not required for accurate measurements using the INA280, 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-sense 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-sense
amplifier input pins. This location also satisfies the filtering requirement, but the components must be carefully
selected to minimally impact device performance. Figure 8-1 shows a filter placed at the input pins.

Figure 8-1. Filter at Input Pins
External series resistance provides 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 38 creates a
mismatch in input bias currents (see Figure 6-7, Figure 6-8, and Figure 6-9) 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.

The measurement error expected from the additional external filter resistors can be calculated using Equation 4,
where the gain error factor is calculated using Equation 5.
Gain Error (%) = 100 x (Gain Error Factor í 1)
(4)
The gain error factor, shown in Equation 4, can be calculated to determine the gain error introduced by the
additional external series resistance. Equation 4 calculates the deviation of the shunt voltage, resulting from the
attenuation and imbalance created by the added external filter resistance. Table 8-2 provides the gain error
factor and gain error for several resistor values.
Gain Error Factor =
RB × R1
(RB × R1) + (RB × RIN) + (2 × RIN × R1)

Where:
• RIN is the external filter resistance value.
• R1 is the INA280 input resistance value specified in Table 7-1.
• RB in the internal bias resistance, which is 6600 Ω ± 20%.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The maximum value of the current-sense resistor is calculated based choice of gain, value of the maximum
current the be sensed (IMAX), and the power-supply voltage (VS). When operating at the maximum current, the
output voltage must not exceed the positive output swing specification, VSP. Under the given design parameters,
Equation 6 calculates the maximum value for RSENSE as 19.2 mΩ.
RSENSE <
VSP
IMAX u GAIN
(6)
For this design example, a value of 15 mΩ is selected because, while the 15 mΩ is less than the maximum value
calculated, 15 mΩ is still large enough to give adequate signal at the current-sense amplifier output.
8.2.2.1 Overload Recovery With Negative VSENSE
The INA280 is a unidirectional current-sense amplifier that is meant to operate with a positive differential input
voltage (VSENSE). If negative VSENSE is applied, the device is placed in an overload condition and requires time to
recover once VSENSE returns positive. The required overload recovery time increases with more negative
VSENSE.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The input circuitry of the INA280 device can accurately measure beyond the power-supply voltage. The power
supply can be 20 V, whereas the load power-supply voltage at IN+ and IN– can go up to 120 V. The output
voltage range of the OUT pin is limited by the voltage on the VS pin and the device swing to supply specification.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
TI always recommends to follow good layout practices:
• 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 to the device power supply and ground pins as possible.
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 short
as possible.
