6.3.2 Selecting RS

The zero-drift offset performance of the INA21x offers several benefits. Most often, the primary advantage of the low offset characteristic enables lower full-scale drops across the shunt. For example, non-zero-drift current shunt monitors typically require a full-scale range of 100 mV.

The INA21x series gives equivalent accuracy at a full-scale range on the order of 10 mV. This accuracy reduces shunt dissipation by an order of magnitude with many additional benefits.

Alternatively, there are applications that must measure current over a wide dynamic range that can take advantage of the low offset on the low end of the measurement. Most often, these applications can use the lower gains of the INA213, INA214, or INA215 to accommodate larger shunt drops on the upper end of the scale. For instance, an INA213 operating on a 3.3-V supply can easily handle a full-scale shunt drop of 60 mV, with only 100 μV of offset.
