INA196AIDBVTG4 datasheet by Texas Instruments

INA196AIDBVTG4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum voltage that can be applied to the input pins of the INA196?
  The maximum voltage that can be applied to the input pins of the INA196 is ±40V, but it's recommended to keep it within ±20V to ensure accurate measurements.
• How do I calculate the gain of the INA196?
  The gain of the INA196 is set by the external resistor (Rgain) connected between the GAIN pin and the V- pin. The gain can be calculated using the formula: Gain = 28.2 kΩ / Rgain.
• What is the purpose of the CAP pin on the INA196?
  The CAP pin is used to connect a capacitor to filter out high-frequency noise and oscillations. A 10nF to 100nF capacitor is recommended to be connected between the CAP pin and the V- pin.
• Can I use the INA196 to measure bidirectional currents?
  Yes, the INA196 can be used to measure bidirectional currents. The output voltage will be proportional to the input current, with a positive output voltage indicating a positive current and a negative output voltage indicating a negative current.
• What is the typical response time of the INA196?
  The typical response time of the INA196 is around 1.5 μs, but it can vary depending on the gain setting and the input signal frequency.
