SBOS470A – DECEMBER 2019 – REVISED JUNE 2021
INA293 –4-V to 110-V, 1.3-MHz, Ultra-Precise Current Sense Amplifier
1 Features
3 Description
•
The INA293 is a ultra-precise current sense amplifier
that can measure voltage drops across shunt resistors
over a wide common-mode range from –4 V to 110
V. The negative common-mode voltage allows the
device to operate below ground, thus accommodating
precise measurement of recirculating currents in halfbridge applications. The combination of a low offset
voltage, small gain error and high DC CMRR enables
highly accurate current measurement. The INA293 is
not only designed for DC current measurement, but
also for high-speed applications (ex. Fast over-current
protection) with a high bandwidth of 1.3 MHz and an
85-dB AC CMRR (at 50 kHz).

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The INA293 is a high- or low-side current-sense amplifier that offers a wide common-mode range, precision
zero-drift topology, 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 INA293 is
designed using a transconductance architecture with a current-feedback amplifier that enables low bias currents
of 20 μA with a common-mode voltage of 110 V.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Amplifier Input Common-Mode Signal
The INA293 supports large input common-mode voltages from –4 V to +110 V. Because of the internal topology,
the common-mode range is not restricted by the power-supply voltage (VS). This allows for the INA293 to be
used for both low and high side current-sensing applications.
7.3.1.1 Input-Signal Bandwidth
The INA293 –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. 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 7-1 shows the bandwidth
performance profile of the device over frequency as output voltage increases for each gain variation. As shown
in Figure 7-1, 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 high
frequency current-sensing applications. Testing and evaluation in the end application or circuit is required to
determine the acceptance criteria, and to validate that the performance levels meet the system specifications.

7.3.1.2 Low Input Bias Current
The INA293 inputs draw a 20-µA (typical) bias current at a common-mode voltage as high as 110 V, which
enables precision current sensing on applications that require lower current leakage.
7.3.1.3 Low VSENSE Operation
The INA293 operates with high performance across the entire valid VSENSE range. The zero-drift input
architecture of the INA293 provides the low offset voltage and low offset drift needed to measure low VSENSE
levels accurately across the wide operating temperature of –40 °C to +125 °C. Low VSENSE operation is
particularly beneficial when using low ohmic shunts for low current measurements, as power losses across
the shunt are significantly reduced.
7.3.1.4 Wide Fixed Gain Output
The INA293 gain error is < 0.15% at room temperature, with a maximum drift of 10 ppm/°C over the full
temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. The INA293 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-to-noise ratio
and other system requirements.
The INA293 closed-loop gain is set by a precision, low drift internal resistor network. The ratio of these resistors
are excellently matched, while the absolute values may vary significantly. Adding additional resistance around
the INA293 to change the effective gain is not recommended, however, because of this variation. The typical
values of the gain resistors are described in Table 7-1.

7.3.1.5 Wide Supply Range
The INA293 operates with a wide supply range from 2.7 V to 20 V. The output stage supports a wide output
range while INA293x1 (gain of 20 V/V) at a supply voltage of 20 V allows a maximum acceptable differential
input of 1 V. When paired with the small input offset voltage of the INA293, systems with very wide dynamic
range of current measurement can be supported.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Unidirectional Operation
The INA293 measures the differential voltage developed by current flowing through a resistor, commonly
referred to as a current-sensing resistor or a current-shunt resistor. The INA293 operates in unidirectional mode
only, meaning it only senses current sourced from a power supply to a system load as shown in Figure 7-2.

The linear range of the output stage is limited to how close the output voltage can approach ground under
zero-input conditions. The zero current output voltage of the INA293 is very small, with a maximum of GND + 20
mV. Make sure to apply a differential input voltage of (20 mV / Gain) or greater to keep the INA293 output in the
linear region of operation.
7.4.2 High Signal Throughput
With a bandwidth of 1.3 MHz at a gain of 20 V/V and a slew rate of 2.5 V/µs, the INA293 is specifically designed
for detecting and protecting applications from fast inrush currents. As shown in Table 7-2, the INA293 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, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The INA293 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 INA293 make it usable 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 *$,1 < VSP
(2)
where:
•
•
•
IMAX is the maximum current that will flow through RSENSE.
GAIN is the gain of the current-sense amplifier.
VSP is the positive output swing as specified in the data sheet.
To avoid positive output swing limitations when selecting the value of RSENSE, there is always a trade-off
between the value of the sense resistor and the gain of the device under consideration. If the sense resistor
selected for the maximum power dissipation is too large, then it is possible to select a lower-gain device in order
to avoid positive swing limitations.
The negative swing limitation places a limit on how small the sense resistor value can be for a given application.
Equation 3 provides the limit on the minimum value of the sense resistor.
IMIN ª RSENSE ª *$,1 > VSN

INA293. From the table data, the highest gain device allows a smaller current-shunt resistor and decreased

8.1.2 Input Filtering
Note
Input filters are not required for accurate measurements using the INA293, 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 satisfies the filtering requirement also, however 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 8-1
creates a mismatch in input bias currents (see Figure 6-15, Figure 6-16 and Figure 6-17) 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 - (100 ´ Gain Error Factor)
(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.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The INA293 is designed to measure current in a typical solenoid application. The INA293 measures current
across the 50-mΩ shunt that is placed at the output of the half-bridge. The INA293 measures the differential
voltage across the shunt resistor, and the signal is internally amplified with a gain of 50 V/V. The output of the
INA293 is connected to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of an MCU to digitize the current measurements.
Solenoid loads are highly inductive and are often prone to failure. Solenoids are often used for position control,
precise fluid control, and fluid regulation. Measuring real-time current on the solenoid continuously can indicate
premature failure of the solenoid which can lead to a faulty control loop in the system. Measuring high-side
current also indicates if there are any ground faults on the solenoid or the FETs that can be damaged in an
application. The INA293, with high bandwidth and slew rate, can be used to detect fast overcurrent conditions to
prevent the solenoid damage from short-to-ground faults.
8.2.2.1 Overload Recovery With Negative VSENSE
The INA293 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 INA293 power supply can be 5 V, whereas the input common-mode voltage can vary between –4 V to 110
V. The output voltage range of the OUT pin, however, is limited by the voltage on the power-supply pin.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Attention to good layout practices is always recommended.
•
•
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 as possible to the device power supply and ground pins.
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.
