company blog about Mingjiada Supply TI INA281A1 20V/V Gain, High-Precision Current-Sense Amplifier

In motor drives, power management, battery charging and discharging, and industrial automation systems, the accuracy and response speed of current sensing directly affect control efficiency, protection reliability and system safety. The TI INA281A1 is a bidirectional current sense amplifier in the INA281 series with a gain of 20 V/V. Featuring a bandwidth of 1.3 MHz, a wide common-mode range of –4 V to 80 V and a low offset voltage, it is suitable for current sense designs requiring fast response and moderate gain. Mingjiada Electronics is a long-standing supplier of TI analogue and power management devices, offering corporate clients support with sample enquiries, small-batch procurement and BOM fulfilment for the INA281A1.

INA281A1 Product Overview

The INA281A1 is a high-precision current sense amplifier that measures the voltage drop across a shunt resistor over a wide common-mode range of –4 V to 110 V. The negative common-mode voltage allows the device to operate below ground potential, enabling accurate measurement of recirculating currents in half-bridge applications. The combination of low offset voltage, low gain error and high DC CMRR enables high-precision current measurement. With a high bandwidth of 1.3 MHz and an AC CMRR of 65 dB (at 50 kHz), the INA281-Q1 is suitable not only for DC current measurement but also for high-speed applications (such as fast overcurrent protection).

Compared to standard current sense amplifiers, the INA281A1 offers a balance of a wide common-mode range, low offset voltage and high common-mode rejection ratio. The 20 V/V gain is suitable for amplifying signals with moderate shunt voltages, whilst the 1.3 MHz bandwidth facilitates rapid overcurrent detection and current sampling in switch-mode power supply loops.
