9.2 Typical Applications

The INA253 offers advantages for multiple applications including the following:

•

High common-mode range and excellent CMRR enables direct inline sensing

•

Precision low-inductive, low-drift shunt eliminates the need for overtemperature system calibration

•

Ultra-low offset and drift eliminates the necessity of calibration

•

Wide supply range enables a direct interface with most microprocessors

9.2.1 High-Side, High-Drive, Solenoid Current-Sense Application

Challenges exist in solenoid drive current sensing that are similar to those in motor inline current sensing. In

certain topologies, the current-sensing amplifier is exposed to the full-scale PWM voltage between ground and

supply. The INA253 is an excellent choice for this type of application. The 2-mΩ integrated shunt with a total

system accuracy of 0.2% with a total system drift of 25 ppm/°C provides system accuracy across temperature

eliminating the need for tri temperature system calibration.
