PRODUCTION DATA
The zero-drift offset performance of the INA21x-Q1 family of devices offers several benefits. In general, 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-Q1 family of devices provides 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, some applications must measure current over a wide dynamic range and can take advantage of the low offset on the low end of the measurement. Most often, these applications can use the lower-gain INA213-Q1, INA214-Q1, or INA215-Q1 to accommodate larger shunt drops on the upper end of the scale. For instance, an INA213-Q1 device operating on a 3.3-V supply can easily support a full-scale shunt drop of 60 mV, with only 100 µV of offset.
