INA170 SBOS193 – MARCH 2001 High-Side, Bidirectional CURRENT SHUNT MONITOR FEATURES DESCRIPTION ● COMPLETE BIDIRECTIONAL CURRENT MEASUREMENT CIRCUIT ● WIDE SUPPLY RANGE: 2.7V to 40V ● SUPPLY-INDEPENDENT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE: 2.7V TO 60V ● RESISTOR PROGRAMMABLE GAIN SET ● LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT: 75µA (typ) ● MSOP-8 PACKAGE The INA170 is a high-side, bidirectional current shunt monitor featuring a wide input common-mode voltage range, low quiescent current, and a tiny MSOP-8 package. Bidirectional current measurement is accomplished by output offsetting. The offset voltage level is set with an external resistor and voltage reference. This permits measurement of a bidirectional shunt current while using a single supply for the INA170. Input common-mode and power-supply voltages are independent. Input voltage can range from +2.7V to +60V on any supply voltage from +2.7V to +40V. Low 10µA input bias current adds minimal error to the shunt current. The INA170 converts a differential input voltage to a current output. This current develops a voltage across an external load resistor, setting any gain from 1 to over 100. The INA170 is available in an MSOP-8 package, and is specified over the extended industrial temperature range, –40°C to +85°C with operation from –55°C to +125°C.

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.

Load current IS is drawn from supply VS through shunt resistor Rs. The voltage drop in shunt resistor VS 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 to a voltage, VOUT, at the OUT pin. Without offset, the transfer function for the INA170 is: + – V–) IO = gm (VIN IN (1) where gm = 1000µA/V (2) + – V – ), is In the circuit of Figure 1, the input voltage, (VIN IN equal to IS • RS and the output voltage, VOUT, is equal to IO • RL. The transconductance, gm, of the INA170 is 1000µA/V. The complete transfer function for the current measurement amplifier in this application is: VOUT = (IS) (RS) (1000µA/V) (RL) (3) Applying a positive reference voltage to pin 3 causes a current to flow through ROS, forcing output current IO to be offset from zero. The transfer function then becomes: V • R L IS • RS • R L VOUT = REF ± 1kΩ R OS (4) The maximum differential input voltage for accurate measurements is 0.5V, which produces a 500µA output current. A differential input voltage of up to 2V will not cause damage. Differential measurements (pins 1 and 2) can be bipolar with a more-positive voltage applied to pin 2. If a more-negative voltage is applied to pin 1, output current IO will decrease towards zero. BASIC CONNECTION Figure 1 shows the basic connection of the INA170. The + and V – , should be connected as closely as input pins, VIN IN possible to the shunt resistor to minimize any resistance in series with the shunt resistance. The output resistor, RL, is shown connected between pin 6 and ground. Best accuracy is achieved with the output voltage measured directly across RL. This is especially important in high-current systems where load current could flow in the ground connections, affecting the measurement accuracy. No power-supply bypass capacitors are required for stability of the INA170. However, applications with noisy or high impedance power supplies may require de-coupling capacitors to reject power-supply noise. Connect bypass capacitors close to the device pins. POWER SUPPLIES The input circuitry of the INA170 can accurately measure beyond its power-supply voltage, V+. For example, the V+ power supply can be 5V, while the load power-supply voltage (INA170 input voltage) is up to +60V. However, the output-voltage range of the OUT terminal (pin 6) is limited by the supply. SELECTING RS AND RL 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 VP Load Power Supply +2.7 to 60V V+ power can be common or indepedent of load supply.

Basic Circuit Connections. 6 INA170 SBOS193 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 of 50mV to 100mV. Maximum input voltage for accurate measurements is 500mV. RL is chosen to provide the desired full-scale output voltage. The output impedance of the INA170 Out terminal is very high which permits using values of RL up to 100kΩ with excellent accuracy. The input impedance of any additional circuitry at the output should be much higher than the value of RL to avoid degrading accuracy. output swing. The maximum output voltage compliance is limited by the lower of the two equations below: Vout + – V–) = (V+) – 0.7V – (VIN IN max (5) or Vout max – – 0.5V = VIN (6) (whichever is lower) BANDWIDTH Measurement bandwidth is affected by the value of the load resistor, RL. High gain produced by high values of RL will yield a narrower measurement bandwidth (see Typical Performance Curves). For widest possible bandwidth, keep the capacitive load on the output to a minimum. If bandwidth limiting (filtering) is desired, a capacitor can be added to the output, as shown in Figure 3. This will not cause instability. Some Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters have input impedances that will 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 A/D converter input, as shown in Figure 2. See Figure 1 for recommended values of RL.

A creative engineer will find many unforeseen uses in measurement and level shifting circuits. The output of the INA170 is a current, which is converted to a voltage by the load resistor, RL.
