INA206AIPW

Current Regulation/Management Overview

The INA206AIPWR is a high-side current monitor manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for precise measurement of shunt voltage drops. It operates with a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 18 V and supports common-mode input voltages from -16 V to 80 V. The device features a fixed gain of 50 V/V and an output current of 1 mA. It maintains an accuracy of ±3.5% over the operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The component draws a typical supply current of 2.8 mA and is housed in a 14-TSSOP package.

Current Regulation/Management Feature Summary

• High-side current sensing capability allowing direct monitoring without low-side ground disruption
• Wide common-mode voltage range supporting operation across -16 V to 80 V
• Fixed gain architecture providing consistent signal amplification for simplified system design

Current Regulation/Management Applications

• Industrial process control systems requiring accurate current feedback
• Power supply monitoring and protection circuits
• Battery management systems for charge/discharge tracking

Current Regulation/Management Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AIPWR' corresponds to the Texas Instruments manufacturing code and TSSOP-14 package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 2) requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact gain and accuracy grade specified in the official datasheet to avoid functional mismatches.

Current Regulation/Management Selection Notes

Select this component when high-side monitoring is required within a wide common-mode voltage window up to 80 V. The fixed 50 V/V gain suits applications where predictable output scaling is preferred over programmable settings. Consider the ±3.5% accuracy specification against system tolerance requirements and verify that the 14-pin TSSOP footprint fits the PCB layout constraints.

Current Regulation/Management Part Context

The INA206 belongs to the INA20x family of current shunt monitors from Texas Instruments. This series provides robust solutions for industrial and automotive environments. The AIPWR variant specifically denotes the plastic TSSOP packaging option, distinguishing it from other package types like DGK or DBV available within the same electrical family.

Current Regulation/Management Replacement Considerations

Check for INA206AIDR as a pin-compatible alternative in SOIC-8 packaging if space constraints differ. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 50 V/V gain and ±3.5% accuracy to ensure circuit compatibility without redesign.
