SBOSA04C March 2022 – October 2023 INA296A , INA296B
PRODUCTION DATA
The INA296x measures the differential voltage developed by current flowing through a resistor, commonly referred to as a current-sensing resistor or a current-shunt resistor. The INA296x can operate in either a unidirectional or bidirectional mode based on the voltage potential placed on the reference pins.
The linear range of the output stage is limited to how close the output voltage can approach ground as well the supply voltage as described in the Specifications. The selection of the current-sensing resistor along with the current range to be measured, selection of the gain option, as well as the voltage applied to the reference pins should be chosen to keep the INA296x within the linear region of operation.
