A newer version of this device is now available: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: ±1.35 to ±18 V
Low quiescent current: 350 µA
Packages: 8-Pin plastic DIP, SO-8
A single external resistor sets any gain from 1 to
10000. Internal input protection can withstand up to
±40 V without damage.
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 ±1.35 V, and quiescent
current is only 350 µA, making this device an
excellent choice for battery-operated systems.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
Figure 25 shows a simplified representation of the INA118 and provides insight into its operation. Each input is
protected by two FET transistors that provide a low series resistance under normal signal conditions, preserving
excellent noise performance. When excessive voltage is applied, these transistors limit input current to
approximately 1.5 to 5 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 terminal.
The equations in Figure 25 describe the output voltages of A1 and A2. The VBE and IR drop across R1 and R2
produce output voltages on A1 and A2 that are approximately 1-V lower than the input voltages.

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.
Low-frequency noise of the INA118 is approximately 0.28 µVp-p, measured from 0.1 to 10 Hz (G≥100). This
provides dramatically improved noise when compared to state-of-the-art chopper-stabilized amplifiers.
8.4.2 Input Common-Mode Range
The linear input voltage range of the input circuitry of the INA118 is from approximately 0.6-V less than the
positive supply voltage to 1-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 Figure 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. 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 would
contribute excessive noise. If the input is overloaded, the protection circuitry limits the input current to a safe
value of approximately 1.5 to 5 mA. Figure 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. Customers should
validate and test 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 suitable 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 26 shows the basic connections required for operation of the INA118. Applications with noisy or high
impedance power supplies may require decoupling capacitors close to the device pins as shown. The output is
referred to the output reference (Ref) terminal, which is normally grounded. This must be a low-impedance
connection to assure 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 26 depicts an input signal with a 5-mV, 1-kHz signal with a 1-Vp-p common-mode signal, a condition often
observed in process control systems. Figure 27 depicts the output of the INA118 (gain = 250) depicting the clean
recovered 1-kHz waveform.

Typical Application (continued)
9.2.1 Design Requirements
Figure 30 and Figure 29 depict the performance of a typical application of the INA118 in a shop floor vibration
sensing application. Because industrial process control systems often involve the interconnecting of multiple
subsystems, ground loops are frequently encountered and often are not easily solved. The inherent commonmode 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 mVp-p
• Transducer center frequency = 1 kHz
• Common-Mode signal (required to be rejected): 1 Vp-p 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.
50kΩ
G=1+
RG
(1)
Commonly used gains and resistor values are shown in Figure 26.
The 50-kΩ term in Equation 1 comes from the sum of the two internal feedback resistors of A1 and A2. These onchip 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
The Figure 1 shows that, despite its low quiescent current, the INA118 achieves wide bandwidth, even at high
gain. This 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 is a result of its 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 response zero. A simple pole at 300 kHz or lower produces a flat passband
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 27 shows an optional circuit for trimming the output offset voltage. The voltage applied to the
Ref terminal is summed at the output. The op amp buffer provides low impedance at the Ref terminal 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 28 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 28). 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 highfrequency common-mode rejection.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
10.1 Low-Voltage Operation
The INA118 can be operated on power supplies as low as ±1.35 V. Performance of the INA118 remains
excellent with power supplies ranging from ±1.35 V to ±18 V. Most parameters vary only slightly throughout this
supply voltage range; see Typical Characteristics. Operation at low supply voltage requires careful attention to
assure that the input voltages remain within their linear range. Voltage swing requirements of internal nodes limit
the input common-mode range with low power supply voltage. Figure 3 shows the range of linear operation for a
various supply voltages and gains.

10.2 Single-Supply Operation
The INA118 can be used on single power supplies of 2.7 V to 36 V. Figure 35 shows a basic single supply
circuit. The output Ref terminal is connected to ground. Zero differential input voltage demands an output voltage
of 0 V (ground). Actual output voltage swing is limited to approximately 35-mV above ground, when the load is
referred to ground as shown. Figure 15 shows how the output voltage swing varies with output current.
With single supply operation, V+IN and V–IN must both be 0.98-V above ground for linear operation. It is not
possible, for example, to connect the inverting input to ground and measure a voltage connected to the
noninverting input.
To illustrate the issues affecting low voltage operation, consider the circuit in Figure 35, which shows the INA118
operating from a single 3-V supply. A resistor in series with the low side of the bridge assures that the bridge
output voltage is within the common-mode range of the amplifier’s inputs. See Figure 3 for 3-V single supply
operation.

11 Layout
11.1 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:
• Take care to ensure 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 device
itself. 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. For more detailed information, see
Circuit Board Layout Techniques (SLOA089).
• 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.
