INA240A3D - 80V Current Sense Amplifier | Texas Instruments
The Texas Instruments INA240A3D is a bidirectional, ultra-precise voltage-output current-sense amplifier with an operating common-mode range of -4 V to 80 V, enhanced PWM rejection, and an 8-pin SOIC package. It is designed to measure the voltage developed across a shunt resistor in high-side or low-side current-sensing circuits while supporting common-mode voltages above the device supply voltage.
A current-sense amplifier is a specialized amplifier within the instrumentation-amplifier and signal-conditioning hierarchy. It converts the small differential voltage produced by a shunt resistor into a proportional analog voltage suitable for measurement by an ADC, MCU, motor controller, or protection circuit. The INA240 family is classified as an analog signal-chain IC and is commonly placed beside a power-conversion stage to create a precision current-feedback signal.
The INA240A3D combines bidirectional measurement, a wide -4 V to 80 V common-mode range, and enhanced PWM rejection. Bidirectional operation allows the output polarity to represent either positive or negative current. The negative common-mode capability is useful when a shunt is observed during a below-ground flyback interval, while the upper range supports current monitoring in systems operating well above the amplifier supply voltage. Its stated operating-temperature range is -40 °C to 125 °C.
The device uses a voltage-output architecture with reference and supply connections that support system-level current measurement. Because the amplifier can operate independently of the common-mode voltage being sensed, its performance is maintained in applications where the shunt voltage swings rapidly while the amplifier remains powered from a low-voltage rail. This architecture is particularly useful in motor drives, solenoid controls, power converters, and battery-powered systems where a conventional low-voltage current-sense amplifier may leave the measurement range.
Typical uses include high-side DC-link monitoring, low-side motor-return measurement, solenoid current diagnostics, power-supply telemetry, and battery charge or discharge current sensing. In these systems, the shunt is placed in the current path and connected to the differential input of the INA240A3D. The resulting analog voltage can be routed to a control ADC or comparator for regulation, fault detection, or data logging.
Design the input and reference network carefully because the differential shunt voltage, amplifier supply, output range, and selected shunt resistance jointly determine usable measurement range. Keep the shunt and amplifier connections compact to minimize parasitic pickup, use a Kelvin connection where practical, and route the differential pair away from switching-node copper. The manufacturer's INA240 datasheet should be used for pin assignments, gain, input limits, output behavior, and recommended application values.
This page organizes the verified INA240A3D operating limits, package information, sourcing details, replacement constraints, application guidance, and design considerations. It also distinguishes a confirmed same-package automotive alternative from incompatible package or gain variants that cannot be treated as drop-in replacements.
