●
The INA163 is a very low-noise, low-distortion, monolithic instrumentation amplifier. Its current-feedback
circuitry achieves very wide bandwidth and excellent
dynamic response over a wide range of gain. It is ideal
for low-level audio signals such as balanced lowimpedance microphones. Many industrial, instrumentation, and medical applications also benefit from its
low noise and wide bandwidth.
Unique distortion cancellation circuitry reduces distortion to extremely low levels, even in high gain. The
INA163 provides near-theoretical noise performance
for 200Ω source impedance. Its differential input, low
noise, and low distortion provide superior performance
in professional microphone amplifier applications.
The INA163’s wide supply voltage, excellent output
voltage swing, and high output current drive allow its
use in high-level audio stages as well.
The INA163 is available in a space-saving SO-14
surface-mount package, specified for operation over
the –40°C to +85°C temperature range.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
temperature drift. These effects can be inferred from
the gain equation. Make a short, direct connection to
the gain set resistor, RG. Avoid running output signals
near these sensitive input nodes.
Figure 1 shows the basic connections required for
operation. Power supplies should be bypassed with
0.1µF tantalum capacitors near the device pins. The
output Sense (pin 8) and output Reference (pin 10)
should be low-impedance connections. Resistance of
a few ohms in series with these connections will
degrade the common-mode rejection of the INA163.
NOISE PERFORMANCE
The INA163 provides very low-noise with low-source
impedance. Its 1nV/√Hz voltage noise delivers neartheoretical noise performance with a source impedance of 200Ω. The input stage design used to achieve
this low noise, results in relatively high input bias
current and input bias current noise. As a result, the
INA163 may not provide the best noise performance
with a source impedance greater than 10kΩ. For source
impedance greater than 10kΩ, other instrumentation
amplifiers may provide improved noise performance.
GAIN-SET RESISTOR
Gain is set with an external resistor, RG, as shown in
Figure 1. The two internal 3kΩ feedback resistors are
laser-trimmed to 3kΩ within approximately ±0.2%. Gain
is:
G = 1+
6000
RG
The temperature coefficient of the internal 3kΩ resistors is approximately ±25ppm/°C. Accuracy and TCR
of the external RG will also contribute to gain error and

INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
OFFSET VOLTAGE TRIM
Very low source impedance (less than 10Ω) can cause
the INA163 to oscillate. This depends on circuit layout,
signal source, and input cable characteristics. An input
network consisting of a small inductor and resistor, as
shown in Figure 2, can greatly reduce any tendency to
oscillate. This is especially useful if a variety of input
sources are to be connected to the INA163. Although
not shown in other figures, this network can be used as
needed with all applications shown.
A variable voltage applied to pin 10, as shown in
Figure 3, can be used to adjust the output offset voltage.
A voltage applied to pin 10 is summed with the output
signal. An op amp connected as a buffer is used to
provide a low impedance at pin 10 to assure good
common-mode rejection.

An output sense terminal allows greater gain accuracy
in driving the load. By connecting the sense connection
at the load, I • R voltage loss to the load is included
inside the feedback loop. Current drive can be increased by connecting a buffer amp inside the feedback loop, as shown in Figure 4.

FIGURE 5. Phantom-Powered Microphone Preamplifier.
MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER
Figure 5 shows a typical circuit for a professional
microphone input amplifier. R1 and R2 provide a current path for conventional 48V phantom power source
for a remotely located microphone. An optional switch
allows phantom power to be disabled. C1 and C2 block
the phantom power voltage from the INA163 input
circuitry. Non-polarized capacitors should be used for
C1 and C2 if phantom power is to be disabled. For
additional input protection against ESD and hot-plugging, four INA4148 diodes may be connected from the
input to supply lines.
R4 and R5 provide a path for input bias current of the
INA163. Input offset current (typically 100nA) creates a
DC differential input voltage that will produce an output
offset voltage. This is generally the dominant source of
output offset voltage in this application. With a maximum gain of 1000 (60dB), the output offset voltage can
be several volts. This may be entirely acceptable if the
output is AC-coupled into the subsequent stage. An
alternate technique is shown in Figure 5. An inexpensive FET-input op amp in a feedback loop drives the
DC output voltage to 0V. A2 is not in the audio signal
path and does not affect signal quality.
Gain is set with a variable resistor, R7, in series with
R6. R6 determines the maximum gain. The total resistance, R6 + R7, determines the lowest gain. A special
reverse-log taper potentiometer for R7 can be used to
create a linear change (in dB) with rotation.
