There are several factors to consider when selecting the appropriate device:
• The INA216 devices are identical with the exception of different gain settings.
• The limiting factor that requires attention to be given to device selection is the output voltage.
• The output voltage has a restriction: it must remain within the range of 2mV above ground to 300mV
below the supply voltage.
• The differential input voltage is either applied across the inputs, or developed based on the load
current flowing through the shunt resistor.
• The selected device must allow the output voltage to remain within the acceptable range after the
developed input voltage is amplified by the respective device gain.
• An output below the minimum allowable output requires the selection of a device with a higher gain.
Likewise, an output above the maximum allowable output requires the selection of a device with a
smaller gain.
3.6 Voltage Inputs
The V
IN+
and V
IN–
terminals of T1 can accept a differential voltage that is amplified by the selected device
gain and is presented at the V
OUT
terminal of T2. These inputs could also be used to connect the
differential voltage developed across an external shunt in an existing circuit, a differential voltage applied
directly to the V
IN+
and V
IN–
inputs, or by developing a differential voltage across an on-board shunt with
the common-mode voltage and load connected. The common-mode voltage should be connected to the
V
IN+
terminal and the load should be connected to the V
IN–
terminal. The shunt can be installed in R1 or
R2, or the prototype area and wired to the R2 footprint.
