INA199: max offset voltage vs supply voltage

Part Number: INA199
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: INA301, TL431

Hi,

I am wondering if the input offset voltage varies with the supply voltage change. The datasheet says the recommended supply voltage is 5V. I have 19V power supply and I'm not sure whether use 78L05 to obtain 5V just for the IC, or supply it directly from the 19V power source. Or isn't there any other disadvantage of using higher than recommended supply voltage? I need to properly detect 12.5mV (max. error shouldn't exceed 20%) on the 0R18 current sense resistor (there's a comparator connected to the output).

Many thanks

  • Hello,

    Thank you for using the TI forums. The data you can use to determine how the offset voltage varies with the supply voltage change is called Power Supply Rejection (PSR). For the INA199, this information is found in table 7.5 of the datasheet titled “Electrical Characteristics” shown below.


    Since the INA199 allows up to 26V supply, you can use 19V safely, and the PSR is calculated as an offset from a 5V supply. Since the PSR for the INA199 is +/-0.1µV/V, operating at 19V could have an offset around 1.4µV from the equation (19-5)*.1µ = 1.4µV. Note that the datasheet only specifies this PSR for up to 18V, so with a 19V supply it may be a little different. Also note that this offset would be added to the offset already associated with the device (Vos) which is typically around -/+5µV but could up to +/-150µV.

    If you would like more information on PSR, you could watch our “Understanding power supply rejection error” video from our “Getting Started with Current Sense Amplifiers” video training series, which can be found at this link:

    Given the requirement, I think it is also worth to mention the INA301, which has an built in comparator, as a possible solution for your evaluation

  • Thank you for explanation, I understand it now.
  • Thanks for suggestion. However, INA301 doesn't support 19V supply voltage, so I'd prefer INA199 + TL431 to 78L05 + INA301.
