3 Description

The INA254 is a voltage-output, current sense

amplifier with a 400-μΩ integrated shunt resistor. The

INA254 is designed to monitor bidirectional currents

over a wide common-mode range from –4 V to +80 V,

independent of the supply voltage. Three fixed gains

are available: 20 mV/A, 40 mV/A, and 75 mV/A.

The integration of the precision resistor with a zerodrift

chopped amplifier provides calibration equivalent

measurement accuracy, ultra-low temperature drift

performance of ±45 ppm/°C (maximum), and an

optimized Kelvin layout for the sensing resistor.

The INA254 is designed with enhanced PWM

rejection circuitry to suppress large (dv/dt) signals that

enable real-time continuous current measurements.

The measurements are critical for in-line current

measurements in a motor-drive application, and for

solenoid valve control applications.

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. All gain versions are specified over

the extended operating temperature range (–40°C

to +125°C), and are available in a 24-pin HTSSOP

package.
