INA237 Обзор

The Texas Instruments INA237 is an ultra-precise digital power monitor with a 16-bit delta-sigma ADC, designed for current-sensing applications. It measures a full-scale differential input of ±163.84 mV or ±40.96 mV across a resistive shunt element, with common-mode voltage support from -0.3 V to 85 V, making it suitable for both high-side and low-side current sensing on high-voltage rails. Communication is via an I2C interface with alert functionality, housed in a 10-pin VSSOP (DGS) package.

A digital power monitor is an integrated power management IC that digitizes shunt voltage, bus voltage, and computed power, then reports values over a serial bus such as I2C. Within the power-monitoring hierarchy, the INA237 sits in the current/voltage/power monitor family, complementing supervisors, hot-swap controllers, and DC-DC converters in modern power management systems.

Key features include high-resolution 16-bit delta-sigma conversion, current-monitoring accuracy with ±50 uV maximum offset voltage, ±0.02 uV/C maximum offset drift, and ±0.3% gain error. The 85 V common-mode withstand is a major differentiator, allowing direct monitoring of 48 V telecom, server, and industrial buses without additional level-shifting circuitry.

The delta-sigma architecture provides excellent noise performance and allows configurable conversion times and averaging, trading conversion speed for accuracy. Registers report shunt voltage, bus voltage, current, and power directly, simplifying firmware. The integrated alert pin supports configurable alerts including overcurrent and overvoltage thresholds.

Typical applications include 48 V server and datacenter power-rail monitoring, telecom base-station power supplies, industrial 24-85 V motor and automation systems, and battery-management telemetry in test equipment. The wide common-mode range covers virtually all common industrial and datacenter bus voltages.

Design tip: choose the shunt resistor so full-scale load current generates a shunt voltage well within the ±163.84 mV range, balancing accuracy (larger shunt) against power loss (smaller shunt). For applications needing tighter accuracy, the pin-compatible INA238 offers improved offset and gain error in the same footprint.

Типичное применение

INA237 подходит для 6 применениеs: 48V Server and Datacenter Power Monitoring, Telecom Power Supplies, Industrial Automation and Motor Drives, Battery Management and Energy Telemetry, Automotive Power Monitoring, Test and Measurement Instrumentation.

🖥️

48V Server and Datacenter Power Monitoring

The INA237 fits 48 V server and datacenter power-rail monitoring because its -0.3 V to 85 V common-mode range directly tolerates the nominal 48 V bus plus transients without level shifting. Placed across a shunt on the 48 V feed, its 16-bit delta-sigma ADC with ±50 uV offset and ±0.3% gain error resolves milliamp-level load steps, while the I2C interface reports current, bus voltage, and power directly to the BMC or power controller.

🌐

Telecom Power Supplies

Telecom -48 V and 48 V distribution rails demand a monitor with high common-mode withstand, and the INA237's 85 V rating provides wide margin for surge-prone telecom environments. Its high- or low-side sensing flexibility suits both distribution bus and card-level monitoring. The configurable alert pin raises immediate fault flags on overcurrent events, reducing response time compared with polling-only schemes, and averaging modes let designers trade conversion rate for noise-free accuracy.

🏭

Industrial Automation and Motor Drives

In industrial 24 V to 85 V automation systems and motor-drive DC buses, the INA237 provides continuous current, voltage, and power telemetry over I2C. The ±163.84 mV full-scale input accommodates standard mΩ-class shunts at drive load currents, while the -0.3 V to 85 V common-mode range covers typical industrial bus voltages including 48 V and 60 V systems. Alert thresholds enable fast overcurrent detection for predictive maintenance and protection logic.

⚡

Battery Management and Energy Telemetry

The INA237 supports battery pack current and voltage telemetry in high-voltage storage systems where the bus can reach 85 V. Its delta-sigma converter provides stable readings across temperature with only ±0.02 uV/C offset drift, and configurable conversion/averaging times let firmware optimize between sample rate and resolution. Power is computed on-chip and read over I2C, offloading the host MCU in battery management units and energy-monitoring nodes.

🚗

Automotive Power Monitoring

For automotive 12 V and 48 V mild-hybrid rails, the AEC-Q100 qualified INA237-Q1 (INA237AQDGSRQ1) provides the same 85 V, 16-bit I2C monitoring with automotive-grade qualification. It suits body-controller, ADAS power-supply, and zonal-fuse monitoring designs where current, voltage, and power must be reported to a gateway ECU over I2C. The alert pin supports fast overcurrent detection for diagnostic fault handling.

🔧

Test and Measurement Instrumentation

Bench instruments and programmable loads use the INA237 as an inline power-measurement front end. SparkFun and Adafruit breakout boards popularize it for this purpose: up to 85 VDC common-mode, high- or low-side measurement, and 16-bit precision from milliamps to amps over I2C. Configurable gain (±163.84 mV or ±40.96 mV full-scale) lets the same hardware adapt to different shunt values, and averaging improves reading stability for logging applications.

What is the INA237?
The INA237 is a Texas Instruments 85-V, 16-bit, I2C output current/voltage/power monitor with an alert function. It uses a 16-bit delta-sigma ADC to measure shunt voltage across a resistive sense element with common-mode support from -0.3 V to 85 V, reporting current, bus voltage, and power over I2C. According to the TI datasheet, it achieves ±50 uV maximum offset and ±0.3% gain error.
What is the common-mode voltage range of the INA237?
The INA237 supports a common-mode voltage range from -0.3 V to 85 V, enabling both high-side and low-side current sensing on high-voltage rails. According to the TI INA237 datasheet, the device measures a full-scale differential input of ±163.84 mV or ±40.96 mV across the shunt. This 85 V withstand eliminates the need for level-shifting circuitry on 48 V telecom and datacenter buses.
What is the accuracy of the INA237?
The INA237 achieves current-monitoring accuracy of ±50 uV maximum offset voltage, ±0.02 uV/C maximum offset drift, and ±0.3% gain error, per the TI datasheet. Its 16-bit delta-sigma ADC provides high resolution. For tighter accuracy requirements, the pin-compatible INA238 offers better offset voltage and gain error while remaining code and hardware equivalent.
What is the difference between INA237 and INA238?
The INA237 and INA238 are completely code and hardware equivalent with the same pinout, layout, wiring, and schematic. The only difference is that the INA238 has better gain error and offset voltage specifications than the INA237, at a slightly higher price. Both share the 10-VSSOP package and 85 V, 16-bit I2C architecture, so the INA238 is a true drop-in upgrade when higher accuracy is needed.
What is the best drop-in replacement for INA237?
The INA238 is the best drop-in replacement: pin-to-pin, code-compatible, and hardware-identical, with better offset and gain error specs. The INA239 is also pin-for-pin compatible, and the INA237AQDGSRQ1 is the AEC-Q100 automotive-grade version of the same die. The INA228 offers pin-to-pin compatibility with increased 20-bit performance if more resolution is required.
Where can I download the INA237 datasheet PDF?
The official INA237 datasheet PDF is available on TI.com at https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ina237.pdf, titled 'INA237 85-V, 16-Bit, Precision Power Monitor With I2C Interface' (approximately 45-48 pages). The same document covers the INA237-Q1 automotive variant. The TI product page at ti.com/product/INA237 also provides ordering, quality, and support information.
Where can I buy INA237 and what does it cost?
The INA237 (e.g., INA237AIDGSR in 10-VSSOP) is available from authorized distributors including DigiKey and Mouser, with stock typically shipping same day. Indicative pricing as of 2026-08-30 is approximately $2.05 at 1 unit, dropping to around $1.15 at 1000 units.

INA237 vs INA228 - which should I choose?
Choose the INA237 when 16-bit resolution and lowest cost suffice; choose the INA228 when you need 20-bit performance plus energy and charge accumulation. Both support up to 85 V high- or low-side measurement and are pin-to-pin compatible, but the INA228 offers finer LSB (about 10 uA/2.5 uA versus 0.15 mA/42 uA on the INA237) and onboard energy/charge registers at higher price.
When should I choose the INA237 over the INA226?
Choose the INA237 when your bus voltage exceeds 36 V or approaches 85 V, since the INA226 is limited to a 36 V common-mode maximum. Choose the INA226 when cost is critical and the rail is 36 V or below. Both use I2C and provide current, voltage, and power reporting, but the INA237 adds a wider ±163.84 mV full-scale range and the alert function in the compact 10-VSSOP package.
Is the INA237 suitable for 48V server and telecom applications?
Yes, the INA237 is well suited for 48 V server, datacenter, and telecom power monitoring. Its -0.3 V to 85 V common-mode range directly tolerates 48 V buses plus transients, and its 16-bit delta-sigma ADC with ±50 uV offset delivers accurate current readings. The I2C interface and configurable alert pin integrate easily with BMC and power-management controllers. Use a shunt sized to keep full-scale drop within 163.84 mV.

Key INA237 specifications: 16-bit delta-sigma ADC; common-mode range -0.3 V to 85 V; full-scale differential input ±163.84 mV or ±40.96 mV; maximum offset ±50 uV; offset drift ±0.02 uV/C; gain error ±0.3%; I2C interface with alert pin; high- or low-side sensing; 10-VSSOP (DGS) package. These figures come from the TI INA237 datasheet and product page.
Is there an AEC-Q100 automotive version of the INA237?
Yes, the INA237-Q1 (for example INA237AQDGSRQ1) is the AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade version of the INA237, listed by Mouser as an 85-V, 16-bit I2C current/voltage/power monitor. It shares the same 10-VSSOP package, pinout, and functionality as the commercial INA237, so it can be used as a drop-in part in designs that require automotive qualification.
What is the best cross-brand equivalent for the INA237?
There is no widely recognized direct cross-brand drop-in equivalent for the INA237 in the 10-VSSOP package; TI's INA23x family (INA238, INA239, INA228) dominates this niche with the 85 V common-mode and I2C power-monitoring feature set. Engineers seeking a second source typically qualify the pin-compatible INA238 rather than a competitor part. Verify any substitute pinout and I2C register map before production use.

Заметки по проектированию

Route the shunt sense traces as a Kelvin pair directly from the shunt resistor pads to the IN+ and IN- pins. Any trace resistance in the sense path adds gain error directly to the measurement. Keep the sense traces away from switching-node copper and guard them with ground. Place a 0.1 uF differential capacitor close to IN+/IN- for input filtering, and decouple VS with 0.1 uF plus 1 uF per TI datasheet recommendations.

Size the shunt resistor so full-scale load current develops a voltage within ±163.84 mV (or ±40.96 mV for higher resolution on lower currents). Balance shunt power dissipation (I^2R) against accuracy: a larger shunt improves LSB resolution but wastes power and heats the sense element, increasing thermal offset drift on the PCB. For a 10 A rail, a 5 mOhm shunt gives 50 mV full-scale drop with 2.5 W loss.

The ALERT pin is open-drain and requires a pull-up resistor to the I2C logic supply. When using I2C digital isolators, note from TI E2E discussions that the INA237 expects a logic-low level below 0.4 V - isolator outputs with 0.9 V logic-low levels are out of specification. Also remember that the VBUS pin senses up to 85 V directly; never exceed this absolute rating even during transients.
