Active production — what it means for the BOM line
The INA303A1QPWRQ1: ROHS3 compliant, so no exemption-based restrictions apply in EU or other regulated markets.
0V to 36V input — the automotive rail coverage
The 0V to 36V common-mode input range covers 12V and 24V automotive battery rails with margin for cold-crank dips below 6V and load-dump transients up to 36V — the part stays in its linear region across the full battery profile without an external clamp. High-side or low-side sensing means the same IC monitors current on either side of the load; no external level shifter is needed when the sense resistor sits between the battery and the load.
The -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range qualifies the INA303A1QPWRQ1 as AEC-Q100 Grade 1 — the standard for under-hood and engine-bay electronics that see 105°C ambient on a hot day. Surface-mount 14-TSSOP package (4.40mm body width) fits the standard footprint for automotive current-sense ICs; the 0.65mm pin pitch routes cleanly on a two-layer board for low-current sense paths.
