INA280-Q1: VCM switched off while VS = 5V whats the expected behavior

Part Number: INA280-Q1

Tool/software:

Hello,

i have a INA280-Q1 that is supply with 5V that i use to measure current through a shunt connected to Vcm = 9V.

In my application Vcm can be switched off. 

According to the datasheet this should not damage the device. But what behavior can I expect on the output of the amplifier.

I don't care about the exact output value of the amplfier but does it e.g. become unstable and oscillate?

Best regards,

Jesús

  • Hi Jesus,

    The common mode voltage can range anywhere between -20 to 122V, without breaking the device. At Vcm = 0V, the device won't be damaged, however the output will be an arbitrary value. There will not be any oscillation, but please ensure that the device is properly grounded.

    Best,
