INA190-Q1: Applying voltage into IN-/+ when no supply voltage

Part Number: INA190-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: INA190

Hi all,

I would like to know if it's okay for this device to apply voltage between IN- and IN+ when there is no supply voltage. Can you answer to those two questions?

  • Can you tell me if it's okay to do this?
  • Can you tell me if this happens to INA190-Q1 being enabled due to the current path from IN+/- to Vs?

In the datasheet, there is a statement of IN-/IN+ voltage that they are not related to Vs at both abs and recommended condition, so I believe that there are no current paths from IN-/+ to Vs.

Regards,
RYO

  • Hello RYO,

    It is Ok to do this. There is no power sequencing requirement for the INA190 and most other current-sense amplifiers. By design the input voltage can be applied when there is no supply voltage. There is no current path from input pins to Vs.

    Hope this helps.

    Best,
