• Strengths:
– Simplest implementation with only a single external
threshold setting resistor required and no additional
design considerations
– High-side or low-side capable
– 70% smaller footprint versus op-amp and
comparator implementation
– Miniaturization of Over–Current Detection enables
rethinking system level management via subsystem
monitoring
• Utilization & efficiency: Only use those portions
of the system that are needed & are enabled
• Localized Fault Identification
• Offload event detection: Operates independently
and only wakes system controller when needed

• PWM 40V/100nS
• Differential voltage developed
across R_sense due to current flow
• The total input voltage is composed
of a small differential voltage and a
PWM CM voltage
• The same input voltage is fed to
INA240 and other competitor parts
• A good inline sensor should:
• Have excellent AC CMRR - small
over shoot at transitions
• Settles quickly after step transition
• Other subtle criteria such as DC
CMRR, accuracy that are not easy
to tell visually
