INA196AIDBVRG4

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The INA196AIDBVRG4 is a high-side current shunt monitor manufactured by Texas Instruments. It features a common-mode voltage range of -16 V to 80 V, allowing direct measurement in high-voltage systems without level shifting. The device provides a unipolar output proportional to the differential voltage across an external shunt resistor. It operates from a single power supply ranging from 2.7 V to 36 V. Key electrical specifications include a maximum quiescent current of 500 µA and a typical gain error of 0.1%. The component is housed in a SOT-23-5 surface-mount package.

Current Regulation/Management Feature Summary

• Supports high common-mode voltages from -16 V to 80 V for flexible system integration
• Provides a unipolar analog output signal directly proportional to input current
• Operates with a wide single-supply voltage range suitable for various logic levels

Current Regulation/Management Applications

• High-side current sensing in industrial motor control systems
• Overcurrent protection circuits in power distribution units
• Battery management systems requiring precise current monitoring

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix G4 confirms compliance with RoHS standards and specifies the lead-free manufacturing process. Confirm the package designation matches the required SOT-23-5 footprint for PCB layout compatibility. Ensure the temperature grade aligns with the operational environment requirements of the target application design.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select this component when high common-mode voltage rejection is required alongside low quiescent power consumption. Consider the unipolar output characteristic for interfacing with microcontrollers or ADCs that do not support negative input ranges. Evaluate the gain accuracy requirements against the specified typical performance metrics for precision applications.
