SBOSAB4A May 2023 – September 2023 INA700
PRODUCTION DATA
The power dissipated in the device limits the maximum current that can be safely handled by the device. The current consumed to power the device is low, therefore the primary source of heating is due to the current flow through the internal shunt resistor. The maximum safe-operating current level shown in Figure 7-3 is set so that the heat generated in the package is limited and the internal junction temperature of the silicon does not exceed 125°C. This data was collected on the evaluation module that uses a 2-layer board with 1-oz copper power planes to the INA700 IN+ and IN– pins.
The current measurement capability is limited by ADC full scale range of 15.728 A, even though the shunt can withstand pulse currents greater than 15 A.
In applications with overcurrent transients, the peak amplitude and duration of the overcurrent event is important to determine the device heating. Figure 7-4 shows the peak pulse current versus pulse duration that the device can withstand before the maximum junction temperature of 125°C is exceeded. The data shown in this curve was collected at TA = 25°C, using the INA700 evaluation module.
