INA12x Precision, Low-Power Instrumentation Amplifiers
A newer version of this device is now available: INA828
1 Features
3 Description
•
The INA128 and INA129 are low-power, general
purpose instrumentation amplifiers offering excellent
accuracy. The versatile 3-op amp design and small
size make these amplifiers ideal for a wide range of
applications. Current-feedback input circuitry provides
wide bandwidth even at high gain (200 kHz at G =
100).

A newer version of this device is now available:
INA828
Low offset voltage: 50 μV maximum
Low drift: 0.5 μV/°C maximum
Low Input Bias Current: 5 nA maximum
High CMR: 120 dB minimum
Inputs protected to ±40 V
Wide supply range: ±2.25 V to ±18 V
Low quiescent current: 700 μA

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The INA12x instrumentation amplifier is a type of differential amplifier that has been outfitted with input protection
circuit and input buffer amplifiers, which eliminate the need for input impedance matching and make the amplifier
particularly suitable for use in measurement and test equipment. Additional characteristics of the INA128 include
a very low DC offset, low drift, low noise, very high open-loop gain, very high common-mode rejection ratio, and
very high input impedances. The INA12x is used where great accuracy and stability of the circuit both short and
long term are required.

8.3 Feature Description
The INA12x devices are low power, general-purpose instrumentation amplifiers offering excellent accuracy. The
versatile three-operational-amplifier design and small size make the amplifiers ideal for a wide range of
applications. Current-feedback input circuitry provides wide bandwidth, even at high gain. A single external
resistor sets any gain from 1 to 10,000. The INA128 is laser trimmed for very low offset voltage (25 μV typical)
and high common-mode rejection (93 dB at G ≥ 100). These devices operate with power supplies as low as
±2.25 V, and quiescent current of 2 mA, typically. The internal input protection can withstand up to ±40 V without
damage.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Noise Performance
The INA12x provides very low noise in most applications. Low-frequency noise is approximately 0.2 µVPP
measured from 0.1 to 10 Hz (G ≥ 100). This provides dramatically improved noise when compared to state-ofthe-art chopper-stabilized amplifiers.
0.1mV/div
1s/div
G ≥ 100
Figure 23. 0.1-Hz to 10-Hz Input-Referred Voltage Noise
8.4.2 Input Common-Mode Range
The linear input voltage range of the input circuitry of the INA12x is from approximately 1.4 V below the positive
supply voltage to 1.7 V above the negative supply. As a differential input voltage causes the output voltage
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 performance curve 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 will be near zero. The output of A3 will be near 0 V even though both inputs are overloaded.

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 INA12x measures small differential voltage with high common-mode voltage developed between the
noninverting and inverting input. The high-input voltage protection circuit in conjunction with high input
impedance make the INA12x 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 24 shows the basic connections required for operation of the INA12x. 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 8 Ω in series with the Ref pin will cause a
typical device to degrade to approximately 80dB CMR (G = 1).

Typical Application (continued)
9.2.1 Design Requirements
The device can be configured to monitor the input differential voltage when the gain of the input signal is set by
the external resistor RG. The output signal references to the Ref pin. The most common application is where the
output is referenced to ground when no input signal is present by connecting the Ref pin to ground, as Figure 24
shows. When the input signal increases, the output voltage at the OUT pin increases, too.
9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Setting the Gain
Gain is set by connecting a single external resistor, RG, connected between pins 1 and 8:
INA128: g = 1 + 50 kΩ/RG
(1)
Commonly used gains and resistor values are shown in Figure 24.
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 internal resistors are included in the gain accuracy and drift specifications of the INA128.
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 typical performance curve Figure 1 shows that, despite its low quiescent current, the INA12x achieves wide
bandwidth even at high gain. This is due to the current-feedback topology of the input stage circuitry. Settling
time also remains excellent at high gain.
9.2.2.3 Offset Trimming
The INA12x is laser-trimmed for low-offset voltage and offset voltage drift. Most applications require no external
offset adjustment. Figure 25 shows an optional circuit for trimming the output offset voltage. The voltage applied
to the Ref terminal is summed with 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 INA12x is extremely high: approximately 1010 Ω. However, a path must be provided
for the input bias current of both inputs. This input bias current is approximately ±2 nA. High input impedance
means that this input bias current changes very little with varying input voltage.

Typical Application (continued)
Input circuitry must provide a path for this input bias current for proper operation. Figure 26 shows various
provisions for an input bias current path. Without a bias current path, the inputs will float to a potential which
exceeds the common-mode range, and the input amplifiers will saturate.
If the differential source resistance is low, the bias current return path can be connected to one input (see the
thermocouple example in Figure 26). With higher source impedance, using two equal resistors provides a
balanced input, with possible advantages of lower input offset voltage due to bias current and better highfrequency common-mode rejection.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The minimum power supply voltage for INA12x is ±2.25 V and the maximum power supply voltage is ±18 V. This
minimum and maximum range covers a wide range of power supplies; but for optimum performance, ±15 V is
recommended. TI recommends adding a bypass capacitor at the input to compensate for the layout and power
supply source impedance.
10.1 Low Voltage Operation
The INA12x can be operated on power supplies as low as ±2.25 V. Performance remains excellent with power
supplies ranging from ±2.25 V to ±18 V. Most parameters vary only slightly throughout this supply voltage
range—see Typical Characteristics.
Operation at very 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 6 shows the range of linear operation for ±15-V, ±5-V, and ±2.5-V supplies.

11.1 Layout Guidelines
Place the power-supply bypass capacitor as closely as possible to the supply and ground pins. The
recommended value of this bypass capacitor is 0.1 μF to 1 μF. If necessary, additional decoupling capacitance
can be added to compensate for noisy or high-impedance power supplies. These decoupling capacitors must be
placed between the power supply and INA12x devices.
The gain resistor must be placed close to pin 1 and pin 8. This placement limits the layout loop and minimizes
any noise coupling into the part.
