INA1620 High-Fidelity Audio Operational Amplifier With Integrated Thin-Film Resistors
and EMI Filters
1 Features
3 Description
•
The INA1620 integrates 4 precision-matched thin-film
resistor pairs and EMI filtering on-chip with a lowdistortion, high output current, dual audio operational
amplifier. The amplifier achieves a very low,
2.8-nV/√Hz noise density with an ultra-low THD+N of
–119.2 dB at 1 kHz and drives a 32-Ω load at 150mW output power. The integrated thin-film resistors
are matched to within 0.004% and can be used to
create a large number of very high-performance
audio circuits.

The INA1620 operates over a very wide supply range
of ±2 V to ±18 V on only 2.6 mA of supply current per
channel. The INA1620 also has a shutdown mode,
allowing the amplifiers to be switched from normal
operation to a standby current that is typically less
than 5 µA. Shutdown mode is specifically designed to
eliminate click-and-pop noise when transitioning into
or out of shutdown mode.
The INA1620 has a unique internal layout for lowest
crosstalk, and freedom from interactions between
channels, even when overdriven or overloaded. This
device is specified from –40°C to +125°C.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The INA1620 integrates a dual, bipolar-input, audio operational amplifier with four high-precision thin-film resistor
pairs on the same die. The internal amplifiers and resistor pairs are pinned out to allow for many circuit
configurations.
The internal amplifiers of the INA1620 use a unique topology to deliver high output current with extremely low
distortion while consuming minimal supply current. A single gain-stage architecture, combining a high-gain
transconductance input stage and a unity-gain output stage, allows the INA1620 to achieve an open-loop gain of
136 dB, even with 600-Ω loads.
A separate enable circuit maintains control of the input and output stage when the amplifier is placed into its
shutdown mode and limits transients at the amplifier output when transitioning to and from this state. The enable
circuit features logic levels referenced to the amplifier ground pin. This configuration simplifies the interface
between the amplifier and the ground-referenced GPIO pins of microcontrollers. The addition of a ground pin to
the amplifier provides several additional benefits. For example, the compensation capacitor between the input
and output stages of the INA1620 is referenced to the ground pin, greatly improving PSRR.

7.3.1 Matched Thin-Film Resistor Pairs
The INA1620 integrates four thin-film resistor pairs. Each pair is made up of two thin-film resistors with a nominal
resistance of 1 kΩ. While the absolute value of the resistor is not trimmed and can vary significantly, the two
resistors in an pair are designed to match each other extremely well. The resistors in an pair typically match to
within 0.004% of each other's value. This matching is also preserved well over temperature, with the matching
drift having a 0.2 ppm/°C maximum specification. Each node in the resistor pair is bonded out to a pad on the

INA1620 package allowing the resistor pairs to be used in multiple configurations. The nodes in the pair are
protected from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) events by diodes tied to the power supplies of the
IC. For this reason, voltages beyond the power supplies cannot be applied to the resistors without forwardbiasing the ESD protection diodes. The resistor pairs should not be used if there is no power applied to the
INA1620. The configuration of the ESD protection diodes is shown in Figure 44.

Figure 44. ESD Protection Diodes on Each Resistor Pair
Although the resistor pairs and amplifier core are fabricated on the same silicon substrate, they can be used in
separate circuits as long as the previously-mentioned voltage limits are observed. The functional state of the
amplifier (enabled or shutdown) does not affect the resistor pair's performance.
7.3.2 Power Dissipation
The INA1620 is capable of high output current with power-supply voltages up to ±18 V. Internal power dissipation
increases when operating at high supply voltages. The power dissipated in the op amp (POPA) is calculated using
Equation 1:
V
POPA
V VOUT u IOUT
V VOUT u OUT
RL
(1)
In order to calculate the worst-case power dissipation in the op amp, the ac and dc cases must be considered
separately.
In the case of constant output current (dc) to a resistive load, the maximum power dissipation in the op amp
occurs when the output voltage is half the positive supply voltage. This calculation assumes that the op amp is
sourcing current from the positive supply to a grounded load. If the op amp sinks current from a grounded load,
modify Equation 2 to include the negative supply voltage instead of the positive.

The maximum power dissipation in the op amp for a sinusoidal output current (ac) to a resistive load occurs
when the peak output voltage is 2/π times the supply voltage, given symmetrical supply voltages:

The dominant pathway for the INA1620 to dissipate heat is through the package thermal pad and pins to the
PCB. Copper leadframe construction used in the INA1620 improves heat dissipation compared to conventional
materials. PCB layout greatly affects thermal performance. Connect the INA1620 package thermal pad to a
copper pour at the most negative supply potential. This copper pour can be connected to a larger copper plane
within the PCB using vias to improve power dissipation. Figure 45 shows an analogous thermal circuit that can
be used for approximating the junction temperature of the INA1620. The power dissipated in the INA1620 is
represented by current source PD; the ambient temperature is represented by voltage source 25ºC; and the
junction-to-board and board-to-ambient thermal resistances are represented by resistors RθJB and RθBA,
respectively. The board-to-ambient thermal resistance is unique to every application. The sum of RθJB and RθBA is
the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the system. The value for junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
reported in the Thermal Information table is determined using the JEDEC standard test PCB. The voltages in the
analogous thermal circuit at the points TJ and TPCB represent the INA1620 junction and PCB temperatures,
respectively.

7.3.3 Thermal Shutdown
If the junction temperature of the INA1620 exceeds 175°C, a thermal shutdown circuit disables the amplifier in
order to protect the device from damage. The amplifier is automatically re-enabled after the junction temperature
falls below approximately 160°C. If the condition that caused excessive power dissipation has not been removed,
the amplifier oscillates between a shutdown and enabled state until the output fault is corrected.
7.3.4 EN Pin
The enable pin (EN) of the INA1620 is used to toggle the amplifier enabled and disabled states. The logic levels
defining these two states are: VEN ≤ 0.78 V (shutdown mode), and VEN ≥ 0.82 V (enabled). These threshold
levels are referenced to the device ground (GND) pin. The EN pin can be driven by a GPIO pin from the system
controller, discrete logic gates, or can be connected directly to the V+ supply. Do not leave the EN pin floating
because the amplifier is prevented from being enabled. Likewise, do not place GPIO pins used to control the EN
pin in a high-impedance state because this placement also prevents the amplifier from being enabled. A small
current flows into the enable pin when a voltage is applied. Using the simplified internal schematic shown in
Figure 46, use Equation 4 to estimate the enable pin current:
VEN 0.7 V

As illustrated in Figure 46, the EN pin is protected by diodes to the amplifier power supplies. Do not connect the
EN pin to voltages outside the limits defined in the Specifications section.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.5 GND Pin
The inclusion of a ground (GND) pin in the INA1620 architecture allows the internal enable circuitry to be
referenced to the system ground, eliminating the need for level shifting circuitry in many applications. The internal
amplifier compensation capacitors are also referenced to this pin, greatly increasing the ac PSRR. For highest
performance, connect the GND pin to a low-impedance reference point with minimal noise present. As shown in
Figure 46, the GND pin is protected by ESD diodes to the amplifier power supplies. Do not connect the GND pin
to voltages outside the limits defined in the Specifications section.
7.3.6 Input Protection
The amplifier input pins of the INA1620 are protected from excessive differential voltage with back-to-back
diodes, as Figure 47 shows. In most circuit applications, the input protection circuitry has no consequence.
However, in low-gain or G = +1 circuits, fast-ramping input signals can forward bias these diodes because the
output of the amplifier cannot respond quickly enough to the input ramp. If the input signal is fast enough to
create this forward-bias condition, the input signal current must be limited to 10 mA or less. If the input signal
current is not inherently limited, use an input series resistor (RI) or a feedback resistor (RF) to limit the signal
input current. This input series resistor degrades the low-noise performance of the INA1620 and is examined in
the Noise Performance section. Figure 47 shows an example configuration when both current-limiting input and
feedback resistors are used.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
The INA1620 has two operating modes determined by the voltage between the EN and GND pins: a shutdown
mode (VEN ≤ 0.78 V) and an enabled mode (VEN ≥ 0.82 V). The measured datasheet performance parameters
specified in the Typical Characteristics and Specifications sections are given with the amplifier in the enabled
mode, unless otherwise noted.
7.4.1 Shutdown Mode
When the EN pin voltage is below the logic low threshold, the INA1620 enters a shutdown mode with minimal
power consumption. In this state the output transistors of the amplifier are not powered on. However, do not
consider the amplifier output to be high-impedance. Applying signals to the output of the INA1620 while the
device is in the shutdown mode can parasitically power the output stage, causing the INA1620 output to draw
current.
The INA1620 enable circuitry limits transients at the output when transitioning into or out of shutdown mode.
However, small output transients do still accompany this transition, as illustrated in Figure 48 and Figure 49. Note
that in both figures the time scale is 1 µs per division, indicating that the output transients are extremely brief in
nature, and therefore not likely to be audible in headphone applications.

7.4.2 Output Transients During Power Up and Power Down
To minimize the possibility of output transients that might produce an audible click or pop, ramp the supply
voltages for the INA1620 symmetrically to their nominal values. Asymmetrical supply ramping can cause output
transients during power up that can be audible in headphone applications. If possible, hold the EN pin low while
the power supplies are ramping up or down. If the EN pin is not being independently controlled (for example, by
a GPIO pin), use a voltage divider to hold the enable pin voltage below the logic-high threshold until the power
supplies reach the specified minimum voltage, as shown in Figure 50.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The low noise and distortion of the INA1620 make the device useful for a variety of applications in professional
and consumer audio products. However, these same performance metrics also make the INA1620 useful for
industrial, test-and-measurement, and data-acquisition applications. The example shown here is only one
possible application where the INA1620 provides exceptional performance.
8.1.1 Noise Performance
Figure 51 shows the total circuit noise for varying source impedances with the op amp in a unity-gain
configuration (no feedback resistor network, and therefore no additional noise contributions).
The INA1620 is shown with total circuit noise calculated. The op amp contributes both a voltage noise
component and a current noise component. The voltage noise is commonly modeled as a time-varying
component of the offset voltage. The current noise is modeled as the time-varying component of the input bias
current, and reacts with the source resistance to create a voltage component of noise. Therefore, the lowest
noise op amp for a given application depends on the source impedance. For low source impedance, current
noise is negligible, and voltage noise generally dominates. The low voltage and current noise of the INA1620
internal op amps make the device an excellent choice for use in applications where the source impedance is less
than 10 kΩ as shown in Figure 51.

8.1.2 Resistor Tolerance
The INA1620 integrated resistor pairs use an advanced thin film process to create resistor pairs that have
excellent matching. Each specific resistor pair is specifically designed for accurate matching between the two
resistors. Figure 42 shows the distribution of resistor matching for a typical device population. The equation used
to calculate matching between resistors in a pair is shown in Equation 5.

In addition to excellent matching between resistors in each resistor pair, all resistors on a single INA1620 achieve
good matching due to inherent process matching across each device. Figure 52 shows a typical distribution of
the worst-case matching across all resistors on a single INA1620. The matching was calculated using the highest
value resistance on a device matched with the lowest resistance value on the same device.

8.1.3 EMI Rejection
The electromagnetic interference (EMI) rejection ratio, or EMIRR, describes the EMI immunity of operational
amplifiers. An adverse effect that is common to many op amps is a change in the offset voltage as a result of RF
signal rectification. An op amp that is more efficient at rejecting this change in offset as a result of EMI has a
higher EMIRR and is quantified by a decibel value. Measuring EMIRR can be performed in many ways, but this
section provides the EMIRR IN+, which specifically describes the EMIRR performance when the RF signal is
applied to the noninverting input pin of the op amp. In general, only the noninverting input is tested for EMIRR for
the following three reasons:
• Op amp input pins are known to be the most sensitive to EMI, and typically rectify RF signals better than the
supply or output pins.
• The noninverting and inverting op amp inputs have symmetrical physical layouts and exhibit approximately
matching EMIRR performance.
• EMIRR is easier to measure on noninverting pins than on other pins because the noninverting input pin can
be isolated on a PCB. This isolation allows the RF signal to be applied directly to the noninverting input
terminal with no complex interactions from other components or connecting PCB traces.
High-frequency signals conducted or radiated to any pin of the operational amplifier result in adverse effects, as
the amplifier does not have sufficient loop gain to correct for signals with spectral content outside its bandwidth.
Conducted or radiated EMI on inputs, power supply, or output may result in unexpected DC offsets, transient
voltages, or other unknown behavior. Take care to properly shield and isolate sensitive analog nodes from noisy
radio signals and digital clocks and interfaces.
The EMIRR IN+ of the INA1620 amplifiers is plotted versus frequency as shown in Figure 53. See also EMI

8.1.4 EMIRR +IN Test Configuration
Figure 54 shows the circuit configuration for testing the EMIRR IN+. An RF source connects to the op amp
noninverting input pin using a transmission line. The op amp is configured in a unity-gain buffer topology with the
output connected to a low-pass filter (LPF) and a digital multimeter (DMM). A large impedance mismatch at the
op amp input causes a voltage reflection; however, this effect is characterized and accounted for when
determining the EMIRR IN+. A multimeter samples and measures the resulting DC offset voltage. The LPF
isolates the multimeter from residual RF signals that may interfere with multimeter accuracy.

8.2 Typical Application
The low distortion and high output-current capabilities of the INA1620 make this device an excellent choice for
headphone-amplifier applications in portable or studio applications. These applications typically employ an audio
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a separate headphone amplifier circuit connected to the DAC output. Highperformance audio DACs can have an output signal that is either a varying current or voltage. Voltage output
configurations require less external circuitry, and therefore have advantages in cost, power consumption, and
solution size. However, these configurations can offer slightly lower performance than current output
configurations. Differential outputs are standard on both types of DACs. Differential outputs double the output
signal levels that can be delivered on a single, low-voltage supply, and also allow for even-harmonics common to
both outputs to be cancelled by external circuitry. A simplified representation of a voltage-output audio DAC is
shown in Figure 55. Two ac voltage sources (VAC) deliver the output signal to the complementary outputs
through their associated output impedances (ROUT). Both output signals have a dc component as well,
represented by dc voltage source VDC. The headphone amplifier circuit connected to the output of an audio DAC
must convert the differential output into a single-ended signal and be capable of producing signals of sufficient
amplitude at the headphones to achieve reasonable listening levels.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Figure 55 shows a schematic of a headphone amplifier circuit for voltage output DACs. An op amp is configured
as a difference amplifier that converts the differential output voltage to single-ended.
The gain of the difference amplifier in Figure 55 is determined by the resistor values, and includes the output
impedance of the DAC. For R2 = R4 and R1 = R3, the output voltage of the headphone amplifier circuit is shown
in Equation 6:

The output voltage required for headphones depends on the headphone impedance, as well as the headphone
efficiency (η), a measure of the sound pressure level (SPL, measured in dB) for a certain input power level
(typically given at 1 mW). The headphone SPL at other power levels is calculated using Equation 7:

Figure 56. Sound Pressure Level vs Input Power for Headphones of Various Efficiencies
In-ear headphones can have efficiencies of 115 dB/mW or greater, and therefore have much lower power
requirements. The output power goal for this design is 150 mW — sufficient power to produce extremely loud
sound pressure levels in a wide range of headphones. A 32-Ω headphone impedance is used for this
requirement because 32 Ω is a very common value in headphones for portable applications. Equation 8 shows
the voltage required for 32-Ω headphones:

Capacitors C1 and C2 limit the bandwidth of the circuit to prevent the unnecessary amplification of interfering
signals. The maximum value of these capacitors is determined by the limitations on frequency response
magnitude deviation detailed in the Design Requirements section. C1 and C2 combine with resistors R2 and R4 to
form a pole, as shown in Equation 9:

8.2.3 Application Curves
Figure 57 shows the maximum output voltage achievable for a 32-Ω load before the onset of clipping (±5-V
supplies), indicated by a sharp increase in distortion. As more current is delivered by the output transistors of an
amplifier, additional distortion is produced. At low frequencies, this distortion is corrected by the feedback loop of
the amplifier. However, as the loop gain of the amplifier begins to decline at high frequencies, the overall
distortion begins to climb. The unique output stage design of the INA1620 greatly reduces the additional
distortion at high frequency when delivering large currents, as shown in Figure 58. High-ordered harmonics
(above the 2nd and 3rd) are also kept to a minimal level at high output powers, as shown in Figure 59.

Figure 60 shows a preamplifier designed for high performance applications that require low-noise and high
common-mode rejection. Both channels of the INA1620 are configured as a two-op amp instrumentation amplifier
with a variable gain from 6 to 40 dB. The excellent matching of the integrated 1kΩ resistors allows for high
common-mode rejection in the circuit. An OPA197 is configured as a buffered power supply divider to provide a
biasing voltage to the circuit, allowing the system to operate properly on a single 9-V battery. The additional
components at the INA1620 inputs are for phantom power, EMI, and ESD protection.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The INA1620 operates from ±2-V to ±18-V supplies, while maintaining excellent performance. However, some
applications do not require equal positive and negative output voltage swing. With the INA1620, power-supply
voltages do not need to be equal. For example, the positive supply could be set to 25 V with the negative supply
at –5 V.
In all cases, the common-mode voltage must be maintained within the specified range. Key parameters are
specified over the temperature range of TA = –40°C to 125°C. Parameters that vary with operating voltage or
temperature are shown in the Typical Characteristics section.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
For best operational performance of the device, use good printed circuit board (PCB) layout practices, including:
• Connect low-ESR, 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each supply pin and ground, placed as close
as possible to the device. A single bypass capacitor from V+ to ground is applicable for single-supply
applications. The bypass capacitors are used to reduce the coupled noise by providing low-impedance power
sources local to the analog circuitry, because noise can propagate into analog circuitry through the power
pins of the circuit as a whole and the op amp specifically.
• Connect the device ground pin to a low-impedance, low-noise, system reference point, such as an analog
ground.
• Place the external components as close to the device as possible. As shown in Figure 61, keep feedback
resistors close to the inverting input to minimize parasitic capacitance and the feedback loop area.
• Keep the length of input traces as short as possible. Always remember that the input traces are the most
sensitive part of the circuit.
• For proper amplifier function, connect the package thermal pad to the most negative supply voltage (VEE).
