INA818 35-μV Offset, 8-nV/√Hz Noise, Low-Power, Precision Instrumentation Amplifier
1 Features
3 Description
•
•
The INA818 is a high-precision instrumentation
amplifier that offers low power consumption and
operates over a very wide single-supply or dualsupply range. A single external resistor sets any gain
from 1 to 10000. The device offers high precision as
a result of super-beta input transistors, which provide
exceptionally low input offset voltage, offset voltage
drift, input bias current, input voltage, and current
noise. Additional circuitry protects the inputs against
overvoltage up to ±60 V.
Low offset voltage: 10 µV (typ), 35 µV (max)
Gain drift: 5 ppm/°C (G = 1),
35 ppm/°C (G > 1) (max)
Noise: 8 nV/√Hz
Bandwidth: 2 MHz (G = 1), 270 kHz (G = 100)
Stable with 1-nF capacitive loads
Inputs protected up to ±60 V
Common-mode rejection: 110 dB, G = 10 (min)
Power-supply rejection: 100 dB, G = 1 (min)
Supply current: 385 µA (max)
Supply voltage range:
– Single supply: 4.5 V to 36 V
– Dual supply: ±2.25 V to ±18 V
Specified temperature: –40°C to +125°C
Package: 8-pin SOIC

The INA818 is optimized to provide a high commonmode rejection ratio. At G = 1, the common-mode
rejection ratio exceeds 90 dB across the full input
common-mode range. The device is designed for lowvoltage operation from a 4.5-V single supply, as well
as dual supplies up to ±18 V.
The INA818 is available in an 8-pin SOIC package
and is specified over the –40°C to +125°C
temperature range.

Total offset, referred-to-input (RTI): VOS = (VOSI) + (VOSO / G).
Offset drifts are uncorrelated. Input-referred offset drift is calculated using: ΔVOS(RTI) = √[ΔVOSI2 + (ΔVOSO / G)2]
Specified by characterization.
Input voltage range of the INA818 input stage. The input range depends on the common-mode voltage, differential voltage, gain, and
reference voltage. See Typical Characteristic curves Figure 51 through Figure 54 for more information.
Total RTI voltage noise is equal to: eN(RTI) = √[eNI2 + (eNO / G)2]
The values specified for G > 1 do not include the effects of the external gain-setting resistor, RG.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The INA818 is a monolithic, precision instrumentation amplifier incorporating a current-feedback input stage and
a four-resistor difference amplifier output stage. The functional block diagram in the next section shows how the
differential input voltage is buffered by transistors Q1 and Q2 and is forced across resistor RG, which causes a
signal current to flow through resistors RG, R1, and R2. The output difference amplifier, A3, removes the commonmode component of the input signal and refers the output signal to the REF pin. The VBE and voltage drop
across R1 and R2 produce output voltages on A1 and A2 that are approximately 0.8 V lower than the input
voltages.
Each input is protected by two field-effect transistors (FETs) that provide a low series resistance under normal
signal conditions, and preserve excellent noise performance. When excessive voltage is applied, these
transistors limit input current to approximately 8 mA.

Table 2 lists several commonly-used gains and resistor values. The 50-kΩ term in Equation 1 comes from the
sum of the two internal 25-kΩ feedback resistors. These on-chip resistors are laser-trimmed to accurate absolute
values. The accuracy and temperature coefficients of these resistors are included in the gain accuracy and drift
specifications of the INA818. As shown in Figure 55 and explained in more details in the Layout section, make
sure to connect low-ESR, 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each supply pin and ground that are placed
as close to the device as possible.

8.3.1.1 Gain Drift
The stability and temperature drift of the external gain setting resistor (RG ) also affects gain. The contribution of
RG to gain accuracy and drift is determined from Equation 1.
The best gain drift of 5 ppm/℃ (maximum) is achieved when the INA818 uses G = 1 without RG connected. In
this case, gain drift is limited by the mismatch of the temperature coefficient of the integrated 40-kΩ resistors in
the differential amplifier (A3). At gains greater than 1, gain drift increases as a result of the individual drift of the
25-kΩ resistors in the feedback of A1 and A2, relative to the drift of the external gain resistor (RG.) The low
temperature coefficient of the internal feedback resistors improves the overall temperature stability of applications
using gains greater than 1 V/V over alternate solutions.
Low resistor values required for high gain make wiring resistance an important consideration. Sockets add to the
wiring resistance and contribute additional gain error (such as a possible unstable gain error) at gains of
approximately 100 or greater. To maintain stability, avoid parasitic capacitance of more than a few picofarads at
RG connections. Careful matching of any parasitics on the RG pins maintains optimal CMRR over frequency.
8.3.2 EMI Rejection
Texas Instruments developed a method to accurately measure the immunity of an amplifier over a broad
frequency spectrum extending from 10 MHz to 6 GHz. This method uses an EMI rejection ratio (EMIRR) to
quantify the ability of the INA818 to reject EMI. The offset resulting from an input EMI signal is calculated using
Equation 2:

this frequency range. Table 3 lists the EMIRR values for the INA818 at frequencies commonly encountered in
real-world applications. Applications listed in Table 3 are centered on or operated near the frequency shown.
Depending on the end-system requirements, additional EMI filters may be required near the signal inputs of the
system. Incorporating known good practices, such as using short traces, low-pass filters, and damping resistors
combined with parallel and shielded signal routing may also be required.

8.3.3 Input Common-Mode Range
The linear input voltage range of the INA818 input circuitry extends within 1.5 V (typical) of both power supplies
and maintains excellent common-mode rejection throughout this range. The common-mode range for the most
common operating conditions are shown in Figure 58, Figure 53, and Figure 54. The common-mode range for
other operating conditions is best calculated using the Common-Mode Input Range Calculator for Instrumentation
Amplifiers.

8.3.4 Input Protection
The inputs of the INA818 device are individually protected for voltages up to ±60 V. For example, a condition of
–60 V on one input and +60 V on the other input does not cause damage. Internal circuitry on each input
provides low series impedance under normal signal conditions. If the input is overloaded, the protection circuitry
limits the input current to a value of approximately 8 mA.

During an input overvoltage condition, current flows through the input protection diodes into the power supplies;

Figure 62) must be placed on the power supplies to provide a current pathway to ground. Figure 63 shows the
input current for input voltages from –50 V to +50 V when the INA818 is powered by ±15-V supplies.

8.3.5 Operating Voltage
The INA818 operates over a power-supply range of 4.5 V to 36 V (±2.25 V to ±18 V).
CAUTION
Supply voltages higher than 40 V (±20 V) can permanently damage the device.
Parameters that vary over supply voltage or temperature are shown in Typical
Characteristics .
8.3.6 Error Sources
Most modern signal-conditioning systems calibrate errors at room temperature. However, calibration of errors
that result from a change in temperature is normally difficult and costly. Therefore, minimize these errors by
choosing high-precision components, such as the INA818, that have improved specifications in critical areas that
impact the precision of the overall system. Figure 64 shows an example application.

Figure 64. Example Application With G = 10 V/V and 1-V Output Voltage
Resistor-adjustable devices (such as the INA818) show the lowest gain error in G = 1 because of the inherently
well-matched drift of the internal resistors of the differential amplifier. At gains greater than 1 (for instance, G =
10 V/V or G = 100 V/V), the gain error becomes a significant error source because of the contribution of the
resistor drift of the 25-kΩ feedback resistors in conjunction with the external gain resistor. Except for very high
gain applications, the gain drift is by far the largest error contributor compared to other drift errors, such as offset
drift.
The INA818 offers excellent gain error over temperature for both G > 1 and G = 1 (no external gain resistor).
Table 5 summarizes the major error sources in common INA applications and compares the three cases of G = 1
(no external resistor) and G = 10 (5.49-kΩ external resistor) and G = 100 (511-Ω external resistor). All
calculations are assuming an output voltage of VOUT = 1 V. Thus, the input signal VDIFF (given by VDIFF= VOUT /
G) exhibits smaller and smaller amplitudes with increasing gain G. VDIFF = 1 mV at G = 1000 in this example. All
calculations refer the error to the input for easy comparison and system evaluation. As Table 5 shows, errors
generated by the input stage (such as input offset voltage) are more dominant at higher gain, while the effects of
output stage are suppressed because they are divided by the gain when referring them back to the input. The
gain error and gain drift error are much more significant for gains greater than 1 because of the contribution of
the resistor drift of the 25-kΩ feedback resistors in conjunction with the external gain resistor. In most
applications, static errors (absolute accuracy errors) can readily be removed during calibration in production,
while the drift errors are the key factors limiting overall system performance.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
The INA818 has a single functional mode and operates when the power-supply voltage is greater than 4.5 V
(±2.25 V). The maximum power-supply voltage for the INA818 is 36 V (±18 V.)
9 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.
9.1 Application Information
9.1.1 Reference Pin
The output voltage of the INA818 is developed with respect to the voltage on the reference pin, REF. In dualsupply operation, REF (pin 6) is connected to the low-impedance system ground. In single-supply operation,
offsetting the output signal to a precise midsupply level is useful (for example, 2.5 V in a 5-V supply
environment). To accomplish this level shift, a voltage source must be connected to the REF pin to level-shift the
output so that the INA818 drives a single-supply ADC.
The voltage source applied to the reference pin must have a low output impedance. As shown in Figure 65, any
resistance at the reference pin (shown as RREF in Figure 65) is in series with an internal 40-kΩ resistor.

Application Information (continued)
The parasitic resistance at the reference pin (RREF) creates an imbalance in the four resistors of the internal
difference amplifier, which degrades the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). Figure 66 shows the degradation
in CMRR of the INA818 as a result of increased resistance at the reference pin. For the best performance, keep
the source impedance to the REF pin (RREF) below 5 Ω.

Application Information (continued)
9.1.2 Input Bias Current Return Path
The input impedance of the INA818 is extremely high—approximately 100 GΩ. However, a path must be
provided for the input bias current of both inputs. This input bias current is typically 150 pA. High input
impedance means that this input bias current changes very little with varying input voltage.
For proper operation, input circuitry must provide a path for input bias current. Figure 68 shows various
provisions for an input bias current path. Without a bias current path, the inputs float to a potential that exceeds
the common-mode range of the INA818, and the input amplifiers saturate. If the differential source resistance is
low, the bias current return path can connect to one input (as shown in the thermocouple example in Figure 68).
With a higher source impedance, using two equal resistors provides a balanced input with possible advantages
of a lower input offset voltage as a result of bias current and better high-frequency common-mode rejection.

is selected for R1 because increasing the R1 value also increases noise. The value of R3 must be extremely
small compared to R1 and R2. 20 Ω for R3 is selected because that resistance value is much smaller than R1 and
yields an input voltage of ±400 mV when operated in current mode (±20 mA).
Use Equation 5 to calculate R2 given VD = ±400 mV, VIN = ±10 V, and R1 = 100 kΩ.

The value obtained from Equation 5 is not a standard 0.1% value, so 4.17 kΩ is selected. R1 and R2 also use
0.1% tolerance resistors to minimize error.
Use Equation 6 to calculate the ideal gain of the instrumentation amplifier.

Typical Applications (continued)
9.2.2 Resistance Temperature Detector Interface
Figure 72 illustrates a 3-wire interface circuit for resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). The circuit
incorporates analog linearization and has an output voltage range from 0 V to 5 V. The linearization technique
employed is described in the Analog linearization of resistance temperature detectors analog application journal.
Series and parallel combinations of standard 1% resistor values are used to achieve less than 0.02°C of error
over a 200°C temperature span.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The nominal performance of the INA818 is specified with a supply voltage of ±15 V and midsupply reference
voltage. The device can also be operated using power supplies from ±2.25 V (4.5 V) to ±18 V (36 V) and nonmidsupply reference voltages with excellent performance. Parameters that can vary significantly with operating
voltage and reference voltage are shown in the Typical Characteristics section.
11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Attention to good layout practices is always recommended. For best operational performance of the device, use
good PCB layout practices, including:
• Take care to make sure that both input paths are well-matched for source impedance and capacitance to
avoid converting common-mode signals into differential signals. Even slight mismatch in parasitic capacitance
at the gain setting pins can degrade CMRR over frequency. For example, in applications that implement gain
switching using switches or PhotoMOS® relays to change the value of RG, select the component so that the
switch capacitance is as small as possible and most importantly so that capacitance mismatch between the
RG pins is minimized.
• Noise can propagate into analog circuitry through the power pins of the circuit as a whole and of the device
itself. Bypass capacitors reduce the coupled noise by providing low-impedance power sources local to the
analog circuitry.
– Connect low-ESR, 0.1-µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each supply pin and ground, placed as
close to the device as possible. A single bypass capacitor from V+ to ground is applicable for singlesupply applications.
• To reduce parasitic coupling, run the input traces as far away from the supply or output traces as possible. If
these traces cannot be kept separate, crossing the sensitive trace perpendicular is much better than in
parallel with the noisy trace.
• Place the external components as close to the device as possible. As shown in Figure 75, keeping RG close
to the pins minimizes parasitic capacitance.
• Keep the traces as short as possible.
