It measures load current by sensing the voltage drop across a shunt resistor on the supply rail, outputting a proportional current that can be converted to a voltage with a single external resistor. Rated for a 2.7 V to 36 V input range, it monitors bus voltages from a 3.3 V logic rail up to a 24 V automotive battery line without needing an external regulator. The part is ROHS3 compliant, so it meets the material restriction requirements for European and global markets without a waiver. ## What the ±0.5% accuracy means for your BOM The ±0.5% accuracy is the total output error over temperature, not just at 25°C. Because it is a high-side monitor, the load remains referenced to ground — no need for a separate low-side sense resistor that would lift the load's ground reference. The output current is single-ended, so a single ADC channel on the microcontroller reads the load current directly.","metaTitle":"INA138QPWRQ1 Current Monitor, ±0.5%, 8-TSSOP","metaDescription":"Texas Instruments INA138QPWRQ1 high-side current monitor, ±0.5% accuracy, 2.7V to 36V input, AEC-Q100, active production.

The INA138QPWRQ1 is a high-side-only monitor with a wider 2.7 V to 36 V input range. The INA234BIYBJR is not a pin-compatible drop-in — the package and pinout differ — so a board layout change is required."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/INA138QPWRQ1","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/texas-instruments/INA138QPWRQ1 when reusing this data.
