INA194AIDBVR High-Speed Current Sense Amplifier Current Monitor Regulator High-Side
The INA194AIDBVR is a single-channel, high-speed voltage-output current shunt monitor from TI, designed for precise high-side or low-side current sensing across a wide common-mode voltage range. Operating from a 2.7V to 18V single supply with a maximum quiescent current of 950μA, it features a fixed 50V/V gain, 300kHz bandwidth, and 1V/μs slew rate, enabling accurate real-time current measurement in fast control loops. It supports common-mode voltages from -16V to +80V, independent of the supply voltage, with a maximum gain error of 1% and 100ppm/°C gain error drift, ensuring reliable performance over the -40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range.
