8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

INA148-Q1 is a unity-gain difference amplifier with a high common-mode input voltage range. It is suitable to be used in many different applications that need bidirectional measurments in a high input common-mode environment.

8.2 Typical Applications

8.2.1 Battery Monitor Circuit

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements

For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 1 as the input parameters.

Table 1. Design Parameters

PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
Battery voltage 28 V
Sense resistor 0.01 Ω
Load current bidirectional –50 A to 50 A
Reference voltage (LM4041-N-Q1) 1.235 V ± 0.1%

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure

This circuit is designed for measuring the high-side current bidirectional in automotive battery monitor such as charging or body control modules with a 28-V battery or similar applications. The voltage difference amplifier REF pin is set at 1.235 V for bidirectional current measurement.

The LM4041-V-Q1 supply current is around 100 µA. It is provided from the 28-V battery through 271-kΩ resistor. The INA148-Q1 has a gain of 1 and output voltage as shown in Equation 3:

Equation 3. VO = RS × IC + 1.235 V

The sense resistor value can be changed according to measured current range. TI recommends choosing the right value for minimizing the error and the dissipating power. The measured differential voltage is given as Equation 4 and the dissipated power is given as Equation 5.

8.2.2 Quasi-AC-Coupled Differential Amplifier

INA148-Q1 ai_quasi_ac_coupl_bos472.gif Figure 27. Quasi-AC-Coupled Differential Amplifier Diagram

8.2.2.1 Design Requirements

For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 2 as the input parameters.

Table 2. Design Parameters

PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
Common-mode supply voltage (–200 V to 200 V) 15 V
Common-mode supply voltage (–100 V to 750 V) 5 V
U2 OPA171-Q1
External resistor 1 MΩ
External capacitor 0.22 µF

8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

A quasi-AC coupled differential amplifier can be simply made by adding a general-purpose op amp configured as an integrator externally to the device. Equation 6 shows the output of OPA171-Q1.

Equation 6. INA148-Q1 eq_vo1.gif

where

  • ZC is the impedance of the external capacitor
  • R is the value of the external resistor

Equation 7 shows the output of INA148-Q1.

Equation 7. VO = VO1 + V+IN – V–IN

Equation 8 is the result of combining the previous two equations.

Equation 8. INA148-Q1 eq_vo.gif

where

  • S = j × 2π × ƒ

The transfer function INA148-Q1 eq_transfer.gif has a zero and a pole at INA148-Q1 eq_transfer_zeropole.gif. Making a gain slope of 20 dB/decade below the cutoff frequncy and flat 0 dB above.

VREF can be set to 0 V in case of dual supply.

8.2.3 Single-Supply Differential Amplifier

INA148-Q1 ai_singl_suppl_diff_amp_bos472.gif Figure 28. Single-Supply Differential Amplifier Diagram

8.2.3.1 Design Requirements

For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 3 as the input parameters.

Table 3. Design Parameters

PARAMETER EXAMPLE VALUE
Common-mode voltage –23 V to 56 V
Load current Bidirectional
Reference voltage (LM4041-N-Q1) 1.235 V ± 0.1%
Supply voltage (INA148-Q1) 5 V

8.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure

For applications that have –23-V to 56-V common-mode voltage and a single 5-V supply, the common-mode rejection ratio is in the order of 80 dB. The INA148-Q1 is not a rail-to-rail output. An external reference voltage is necessary for bidirectional measurment or low differential output. The external resistor is necessary to provide a 100-µA supply to LM4041-N-Q1.
