INA138 INA168 SBOS122C – DECEMBER 1999 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2005 High-Side Measurement CURRENT SHUNT MONITOR FEATURES DESCRIPTION ● COMPLETE UNIPOLAR HIGH-SIDE CURRENT MEASUREMENT CIRCUIT ● WIDE SUPPLY AND COMMON-MODE RANGE ● INA138: 2.7V to 36V ● INA168: 2.7V to 60V ● INDEPENDENT SUPPLY AND INPUT COMMONMODE VOLTAGES ● SINGLE RESISTOR GAIN SET ● LOW QUIESCENT CURRENT (25µA typ) ● WIDE TEMPERATURE RANGE: –40°C to +125°C ● SOT23-5 PACKAGE The INA138 and INA168 are high-side, unipolar, current shunt monitors. Wide input common-mode voltage range, low quiescent current, and tiny SOT23 packaging enable use in a variety of applications. Input common-mode and power-supply voltages are independent and can range from 2.7V to 36V for the INA138 and 2.7V to 60V for the INA168. Quiescent current is only 25µA, which permits connecting the power supply to either side of the current measurement shunt with minimal error. The device converts a differential input voltage to a current output. This current is converted back to a voltage with an external load resistor that sets any gain from 1 to over 100. Although designed for current shunt measurement, the circuit invites creative applications in measurement and level shifting. APPLICATIONS Both the INA138 and INA168 are available in SOT23-5 and are specified for the –40°C to +125°C temperature range. ● CURRENT SHUNT MEASUREMENT: Automotive, Telephone, Computers ● PORTABLE AND BATTERY-BACKUP SYSTEMS ● BATTERY CHARGERS ● POWER MANAGEMENT ● CELL PHONES ● PRECISION CURRENT SOURCE IS RS VIN+ Up To 60V 4 3 VIN+ VIN– 5kΩ Load 5kΩ V+ 5 OUT GND 2 VO = ISRSRL/5kΩ 1 RL Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of Texas Instruments semiconductor products and disclaimers thereto appears at the end of this data sheet.

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. NOTE: (1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage. Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those specified is not implied. (2) The input voltage at any pin may exceed the voltage shown if the current at that pin is limited to 10mA.

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. The transfer function for the INA138 is: IO = gm (VIN+ – VIN– ) (1) where gm = 200µA/V. In the circuit of Figure 1, the input voltage, (VIN+ – VIN– ), is equal to IS • RS and the output voltage, VOUT, is equal to IO • RL. The transconductance, gm, of the INA138 is 200µA/V. The complete transfer function for the current measurement amplifier in this application is: VOUT = (IS) (RS) (200µA/V) (RL) (2) The maximum differential input voltage for accurate measurements is 0.5V, which produces a 100µA output current. A differential input voltage of up to 2V will not cause damage. Differential measurements (pins 3 and 4) must be unipolar with a more-positive voltage applied to pin 3. If a morenegative voltage is applied to pin 3, the output current, IO, will be zero, but it will not cause damage. BASIC CONNECTION Figure 1 shows the basic connection of the INA138. The input pins, VIN+ and VIN– , should be connected as closely as possible to the shunt resistor to minimize any resistance in series with the shunt resistance. The output resistor, RL, is shown connected between pin 1 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 INA138. However, applications with noisy or highimpedance power supplies may require decoupling capacitors to reject power-supply noise. Connect bypass capacitors close to the device pins. POWER SUPPLIES The input circuitry of the INA138 can accurately measure beyond its power-supply voltage, V+. For example, the V+ power supply can be 5V, whereas the load power supply voltage is up to +36V (or +60V with the INA168). The output voltage range of the OUT terminal, however, is limited by the lesser of the two voltages (see “Output Voltage Range” section). 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 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 range 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 INA138 OUT terminal is very high which permits using values of RL up to 500kΩ 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.

FIGURE 1. Basic Circuit Connections. 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. Figure 1 shows the recommended values of RL. OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE The output of the INA138 is a current, which is converted to a voltage by the load resistor, RL. The output current remains accurate within the compliance voltage range of the output circuitry. The shunt voltage and the input common-mode and power-supply voltages limit the maximum possible output swing. The maximum output voltage compliance is limited by the lower of the two equations below: Vout max = (V+) – 0.7V – (VIN+ – VIN–) (3) or Vout max = VIN– – 0.5V 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 Characteristics). For widest possible bandwidth, keep the capacitive load on the output to a minimum. Reduction in bandwidth due to capacitive load is shown in the Typical Characteristics. If bandwidth limiting (filtering) is desired, a capacitor can be added to the output (see Figure 3). This will not cause instability. APPLICATIONS The INA138 is designed for current shunt measurement circuits, as shown in Figure 1, but its basic function is useful in a wide range of circuitry. A creative engineer will find many unforeseen uses in measurement and level shifting circuits. A few ideas are illustrated in Figures 2 through 7.
