INA216: INA216A4

Part Number: INA216

Tool/software:

Hello,

My customer has a question about the input voltage specification while using INA216A4.

According to the specification table below, the input voltage (Common Mode) is confirmed to be GND - 5.5V.

Would it be a problem if they use this voltage a little higher (around 5.7V-6V)? Please let us know what problems you anticipate.

According to comment (3) above, I think you can use a voltage higher than 5.5 V if the input current is less than 5 mA. Is this correct?

Thank you.

  • When you exceed the common-mode voltage range, correct operation is no longer guaranteed.

    The absolute maximum ratings merely guarantee that the device does not get damaged. (And you will not be able to limit the input current without clamping the voltage.)
