The INA196AIDBVR and INA196AIDBVT are high-quality current shunt monitors from Texas Instruments, designed to provide precision current measurement for a wide range of applications. These devices are part of the industry-leading INA19x series and are engineered to detect and convert small differential voltages across a shunt resistor into a proportional voltage output.

Key Features

• High Accuracy: The INA196 series offers excellent accuracy and low offset voltage, making it ideal for precision current sensing in both consumer and industrial applications.
• Wide Common-Mode Range: Capable of operating over a common-mode range from -16V to +80V, these devices are suitable for high-side current monitoring in systems with high voltage rails.
• Single Supply Operation: These monitors are designed for single supply operation, ranging from 2.7V to 18V, providing flexibility in various circuit designs.
• Low Quiescent Current: The INA196 series maintains a low quiescent current, which is critical for power-sensitive applications.
• Small Footprint: Offered in the tiny SOT-23 package, the INA196AIDBVR (reel) and INA196AIDBVT (tape) versions are perfect for space-constrained applications.

Applications

The INA196 current shunt monitors are versatile and can be used in a multitude of applications, including:

• Power management systems
• Battery chargers
• Automotive systems
• Portable devices
• Overcurrent protection circuits
• Energy metering

Product Variants

The INA196AIDBVR and INA196AIDBVT are essentially the same high-performance current shunt monitor offered in different packaging options to suit various production requirements:

• INA196AIDBVR: Supplied in a small outline transistor (SOT) package and delivered on a reel, this variant is typically used for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.
• INA196AIDBVT: Also supplied in a SOT package but delivered on tape, this version facilitates efficient handling and manual assembly processes.

Both versions of the INA196 are manufactured by Texas Instruments, a leader in semiconductor solutions, ensuring reliability and performance for your current sensing needs.
