INA302-Q1: Alert2 pin not recovered

Part Number: INA302-Q1

Dear sir,

INA302A1 current sensor we are used for current measurement and short circuit protection to battery. We are provided differential input to sensor under normal operating condition less than 125mV, but during short circuit condition sometimes differential input crosses above 125mV. 

we are operating INA302A1 current sensor in latch mode with 5V power supply. alert2 pin contains pull up high externally.

While short circuit happens the alert2 pin becomes active  low and it protects battery from excess current. But  After short circuit condition is over, alert2 pin is not reached pull up high even-though latch2 pin pull down for 100ns to 1ms.

This problem also randomly came, But once reset power of INA302A1 then alert2 pin becomes active high.

  • Hi,

    Sorry to hear that you’re experience trouble in the application. Sounds like you’re doing the right thing by resetting the comparator for at least 100nS.

    Have you monitored the actual output to make sure it dropped not only below the threshold but beyond the hysteresis before applying the reset command?

    If you continue to have trouble, could you share relevant schematics and scope capture to demonstrate the issue?

    Regards, Guang
