OPERATION
Figure 1 shows the basic circuit diagram for both the INA139
and the INA169. Load current, I
S
, is drawn from the supply,
V
S
, through the shunt resistor, R
S
. The voltage drop in the
shunt resistor, V
S
, is forced across R
G1
by the internal op
amp, causing current to flow into the collector of Q1. The
external resistor, R
L
, converts the output current to a voltage,
V
OUT
, at the OUT pin.
The transfer function for the INA139 is:
I
O
= g
m
(V
IN+
)
– (V
IN–
) (1)
where g
m
= 1000µA/V (2)
In the circuit of Figure 1, the input voltage, (V
IN+
)
– (V
IN–
), is
equal to I
S
• R
S
and the output voltage, V
OUT
, is equal to
I
O
• R
L
. The transconductance, g
m
, of the INA139 is
1000µA/V. The complete transfer function for the current
measurement amplifier in this application is:
V
OUT
= (I
S
) (R
S
) (1000µA/V) (R
L
) (3)
