HI team,
My customer has a question about INA2181.
They would like to use like below circuit.
if IN- is within -0.2V, No issue occur and measure correctly right?
Thanks,
Shoo

Hi Shoo,
according to sections 7.3, 8.3.3, 8.4.1 and figures 44 to 48 and many others places in the datasheet, the common mode input voltage may go down to -0.2V. But keep in mind, that you are only 0.1V away from the absolute maximum rating of -0.3V. So, even the least glitch may make the INA2181 go into latch-up or even damage.
Also, the common mode rejection is only specified for input voltages between 0V and +26V. This can mean that the performance of INA2181 may degrade for input voltages below 0V.

Hi Shoo,
I am unable to load the schematic. Can you please repost the schematic image if you would like to have it reviewed?
As Kai mentioned, yes, the INA2181 can operate at -0.2V without issue. Just ensure the absolute maximum rating of -0.3V is not violated.
Thanks,

Hi Shoo,
I would take the A4-Version and would do it this way:
By this the common mode input voltage is always positive and there's a lower risk to violate the absolute maximum ratings.

Hi Kai,
Got it! Thanks for your comment.
I will feedback to my customer.
Thanks,

Thanks Kai!
Shoo, for layout please also ensure that the input traces are routed as close to the shunt resistance pads as possible to reduce error.
Thanks,
Cierra
