A newer version of this device is now available:
INA818
Low offset voltage: 50 µV, maximum
Low drift: 0.5 µV/°C, maximum
Low input bias current: 5 nA, maximum
High CMR: 110 dB, minimum
Inputs protected to ±40 V
Wide supply range: ±2.25 to ±18 V
Low quiescent current: 350 µA
Packages: 8-Pin plastic DIP, SO-8
The INA118 is laser-trimmed for low offset voltage
(50 µV), drift (0.5 µV/°C), and high common-mode
rejection (110 dB at G = 1000). The INA118 operates
with power supplies as low as ±2.25 V, and quiescent
current is only 350 µA, making this device an
excellent choice for battery-operated systems.
The INA118 is available in 8-pin plastic DIP and SO-8
surface-mount packages, and specified for the –40°C
to +85°C temperature range.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
Section 8.2 shows a simplified representation of the INA118 and provides insight into device operation. Each
input is protected by two FET transistors that provide a low series resistance under normal signal conditions,
thus preserving excellent noise performance. When excessive voltage is applied, these transistors limit input
current to approximately 6 mA.
The differential input voltage is buffered by Q1 and Q2 and impressed across RG, causing a signal current to
flow through RG, R1, and R2. The output difference amp, A3, removes the common-mode component of the input
signal and refers the output signal to the Ref pin.

8.3 Feature Description
The INA118 input sections use junction field effect transistors (JFET) connected to provide protection up to
±40 V. The current-feedback architecture provides maximum bandwidth over the full range of gain settings.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Noise Performance
The INA118 provides low noise in most applications. For differential source impedances less than 1 kΩ,
the INA103 may provide lower noise. For source impedances greater than 50 kΩ, the INA111 FET-input
instrumentation amplifier may provide lower noise.
The low-frequency noise of the INA118 is approximately 0.28 µVPP, measured from 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz (G ≥ 100).
The INA118 provides dramatically improved noise performance when compared to state-of-the-art, chopperstabilized amplifiers.
8.4.2 Input Common-Mode Range
The linear input voltage range of the input circuitry of the INA118 is from approximately 1.4-V less than the
positive supply voltage to 1.2-V greater than the negative supply. As a differential input voltage causes the
output voltage to increase, however, the linear input range is limited by the output voltage swing of amplifiers
A1 and A2. Thus, the linear common-mode input range is related to the output voltage of the complete amplifier.
This behavior also depends on supply voltage; see also Figure 7-6.
Input-overload can produce an output voltage that appears normal. For example, if an input overload condition
drives both input amplifiers to their positive output swing limit, the difference voltage measured by the output
amplifier is near zero. In this case, the output of the INA118 is near 0 V even though both inputs are overloaded.
8.4.3 Input Protection
The inputs of the INA118 are individually protected for voltages up to ±40 V. For example, a condition of –40
V on one input and +40 V on the other input does not cause damage. Internal circuitry on each input provides
low series impedance under normal signal conditions. To provide equivalent protection, series input resistors
contribute excessive noise. If the input is overloaded, the protection circuitry limits the input current to a safe
value of approximately 6 mA. Figure 7-12 shows this input current limit behavior. The inputs are protected even if
the power supplies are disconnected or turned off.

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, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
The INA118 measures a small differential voltage with a high common-mode voltage developed between the
noninverting and inverting input. The high common-mode rejection makes the INA118 an excellent choice for
a wide range of applications. The ability to set the reference pin to adjust the functionality of the output signal
offers additional flexibility that is practical for multiple configurations.
9.2 Typical Application
Figure 9-1 shows the basic connections required for operation of the INA118. Applications with noisy or high
impedance power supplies can require decoupling capacitors close to the device pins, as shown. The output is
referred to the output reference (Ref) pin, which is normally grounded. This connection must be low-impedance
to maintain good common-mode rejection. A resistance of 12 Ω in series with the Ref pin causes a typical device
to degrade to approximately 80-dB CMR (G = 1).
Figure 9-1 depicts an input signal with a 5-mV, 1-kHz signal with a 1-VPP common-mode signal, a condition often
observed in process-control systems. Figure 9-2 depicts the output of the INA118 (G = 250) depicting the clean
recovered 1-kHz waveform.

9.2.1 Design Requirements
Figure 9-5 and Figure 9-4 depict the performance of a typical application of the INA118 in a shop floor-vibration
sensing application. Industrial process control systems often involve the interconnecting of multiple subsystems;
therefore, ground loops are frequently encountered, and often are not easily solved. The inherent common-mode
rejection of instrumentation amplifiers enables accurate measurements even in the presence of ground-loop
potentials.
The typical application was tested in a system with these requirements:
• Transducer signal ≈ 5 mVPP
• Transducer center frequency = 1 kHz
• Common-mode signal (required to be rejected): 1 VPP at 60 Hz
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Setting the Gain
As shown in Equation 1, the gain of the INA118 is set by connecting a single external resistor, RG, connected
between pins 1 and 8.
G = 1 + 50R kΩ
(1)
G
Commonly used gains and resistor values are shown in Figure 9-1.
The 50-kΩ term in Equation 1 comes from the sum of the two internal feedback resistors of A1 and A2. These
on-chip metal film resistors are laser-trimmed to accurate absolute values. The accuracy and temperature
coefficient of these resistors are included in the gain accuracy and drift specifications of the INA118.
The stability and temperature drift of the external gain setting resistor, RG, also affects gain. The contribution of
RG to gain accuracy and drift can be directly inferred from Equation 1. Low resistor values required for high gain
can make wiring resistance important. Sockets add to the wiring resistance, which contributes additional gain
error (possibly an unstable gain error) in gains of approximately 100 or greater.
9.2.2.2 Dynamic Performance
Figure 7-1 shows that, despite a low quiescent current, the INA118 achieves wide bandwidth, even at high gain.
This achievement is due to the current-feedback topology of the INA118. Settling time also remains excellent at
high gain.
The INA118 exhibits approximately 3-dB peaking at 500 kHz in unity gain. This peaking is a result of the
current-feedback topology and is not an indication of instability. Unlike an op amp with poor phase margin, the
rise in response is a predictable 6-dB/octave due to a zero in the amplifier response. A simple pole at 300 kHz or
less produces a flat pass-band unity gain response.
9.2.2.3 Offset Trimming
The INA118 is laser-trimmed for low offset voltage and drift. Most applications require no external offset
adjustment. Figure 9-2 shows an optional circuit for trimming the output offset voltage. The voltage applied
to the Ref pin is summed at the output. The op amp buffer provides low impedance at the Ref pin to preserve
good common-mode rejection.

9.2.2.4 Input Bias Current Return Path
The input impedance of the INA118 is extremely high at approximately 1010 Ω. However, a path must be
provided for the input bias current of both inputs. This input bias current is approximately ±5 nA. High input
impedance means that this input bias current changes very little with varying input voltage.
Input circuitry must provide a path for this input bias current for proper operation. Figure 9-3 shows various
provisions for an input bias current path. Without a bias current path, the inputs float to a potential which
exceeds the common-mode range of the INA118, and the input amplifiers saturates.
If the differential source resistance is low, the bias current return path can be connected to one input (see
the thermocouple example in Figure 9-3). With higher source impedance, using two equal resistors provides
a balanced input, with the possible advantages of lower input offset voltage due to bias current, and better
high-frequency common-mode rejection.

9.3 Power Supply Recommendations
9.3.1 Low-Voltage Operation
The INA118 operates on power supplies as low as ±2.25 V. Performance of the INA118 remains excellent with
power supplies ranging from ±2.25 V to ±18 V. Most parameters vary only slightly throughout this supply voltage
range; see also Section 7.6. Operation at low supply voltage requires careful attention to make sure that the
input voltages remain within the respective linear range. Voltage swing requirements of internal nodes limit the
input common-mode range with low power supply voltage. Figure 7-3 shows the range of linear operation for a
various supply voltages and gains.

9.3.2 Single-Supply Operation
The INA118 can be used on single power supplies of 4.5 V to 36 V. Figure 9-10 shows a basic single-supply
circuit. The output Ref pin is connected to ground. Zero differential input voltage demands an output voltage of
0 V (ground). The actual output voltage swing is limited to approximately 35-mV above ground, when the load is
referred to ground as shown. Figure 7-15 shows how the output voltage swing varies with output current.
With single supply operation, V+ IN and V – IN must be 1.2-V greater than ground for linear operation. Connecting
the inverting input to ground and measuring a voltage connected to the noninverting input is not possible.
To illustrate the issues affecting low-voltage operation, consider the circuit in Figure 9-10, which shows the
INA118 operating from a single 5-V supply. Depending on the desired gain, a resistor in series with the high side
of the bridge can be required to make sure that the bridge output voltage is within the common-mode range of
the amplifier inputs. See Figure 7-5 for 5-V single supply operation.

9.4 Layout
9.4.1 Layout Guidelines
TI always recommends paying attention to good layout practices. For best operational performance of the
device, use good printed-circuit-board (PCB) layout practices, including:
• Make sure that both input paths are well-matched for source impedance and capacitance to avoid converting
common-mode signals into differential signals. In addition, parasitic capacitance at the gain-setting pins can
also affect 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.
• Noise can propagate into analog circuitry through the power pins of the circuit as a whole, and of the
individual device. Bypass capacitors are used to 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 single-supply applications.
• Separate grounding for analog and digital portions of the circuitry is one of the simplest and most effective
methods of noise suppression. One or more layers on multilayer PCBs are usually devoted to ground planes.
A ground plane helps distribute heat and reduces EMI noise pickup. Make sure to physically separate digital
and analog grounds, paying attention to the flow of the ground current.
• 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.
• Keep the traces as short as possible.
