Tradeoffs of INA290-Q1 vs INA293-Q1

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: INA293-Q1, , INA293, INA290

Hi TI,

We like the improved quiescent current of INA290-Q1 with only slightly less nominal bandwidth. Is INA290-Q1 recommended for our automotive 48V DC-DC converter application? For this general application, what are the most important trade-offs between the INA290-Q1 and INA293-Q1?

Hi Yoonseo,

I think the biggest difference is the different common mode input voltage ranges.

Hello Yoonseo,

I agree with Kai. One of the reasons for the higher IQ is to be able to go below GND at the input for the INA293.

Would you expect the INA290-Q1 to struggle with any edge cases involving common mode voltage collapse during a harsh short-circuit event? Suitability for a SCP application.

Yoonseo,

The INA290 will not function if the VCM drops below the operating range(see image below from datasheet). They both will survive the same inputs but the INA293 has a larger functional VCM range. Also could you define SCP.

By SCP I mean short circuit protection. We want to be sure of the INA290-Q1's edge case performance given the 2.7V cutoff.

I've concluded that UVLO and Vbus monitoring + power-path-control solve the high-side limited common mode voltage edge cases. Thank you Kai and Javier for highlighting the common mode range difference.
