EXTENDED NEGATIVE COMMON-MODE RANGE
Using a negative power supply can extend the common-mode range 14V more negative than the supply used.
For instance, a –10V supply allows up to –24V negative common-mode. Remember to keep the total voltage
between the GND pin and V+ pin to less than 18V. The positive common-mode decreases by the same amount.
The reference input simplifies this type of operation because the output quiescent bias point is always based on
the reference connections. Figure 39 shows a circuit configuration for common-mode ranges from –24V to +70V.

CALCULATING TOTAL ERROR
The electrical specifications for the INA282-286 family of devices include the typical individual errors terms such
as gain error, offset error, and nonlinearity error. Total error including all of these individual error components is
not specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. In order to accurately calculate the error that can be expected
from the device, we must first know the operating conditions to which the device is subjected. Some current
shunt monitors specify a total error in the product data sheet. However, this total error term is accurate under
only one particular set of operating conditions. Specifying the total error at this one point has little practical value
because any deviation from these specific operating conditions no longer yields the same total error value. This
section discusses the individual error sources, with information on how to apply them in order to calculate the
total error value for the device under any normal operating conditions.
The typical error sources that have the largest impact on the total error of the device are input offset voltage,
common-mode voltage rejection, gain error and nonlinearity error. For the INA282-286, an additional error source
referred to as Reference Common-Mode Rejection is also included in the total error value.
