DESCRIPTION
The INA331 rejects line noise and its harmonics, because
common-mode error remains low even at higher frequencies.
The INA331 and INA2331 are rail-to-rail output, low-power
CMOS instrumentation amplifiers that offer wide range, singlesupply operation as well as bipolar-supply operation. The
INA331 family provides low-cost, low-noise amplification of
differential signals with a low quiescent current of 415µA
(dropping to 0.01µA when shutdown). Returning to normal
operation within microseconds, this INA can be used for
battery or multi-channel applications.
High bandwidth and slew rate makes the INA331 ideal for
directly driving sampling Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converters
as well as general-purpose applications.
With high precision, low cost, and small packages, the
INA331 outperforms discrete designs. They are specified for
a wide temperature range of –55°C to +125°C.
Configured internally in a gain of 5V/V, the INA331 offers
flexibility in higher gains by choosing external resistors.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
NOTES: (1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage.
Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may degrade
device reliability. (2) Input terminals are diode-clamped to the power-supply rails.
Input signals that can swing more than 0.5V beyond the supply rails should be
current limited to 10mA or less. (3) Short-circuit to ground, one amplifier per
package.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be
more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The INA331 is a modified version of the classic “two op amp”
instrumentation amplifier, with an additional gain amplifier.
Figure 1 shows the basic connections for the operation of the
INA331 and INA2331. The power supply should be capacitively decoupled with 0.1µF capacitors as close to the INA331
as possible for noisy or high-impedance applications.
The output is referred to the reference terminal, which must
be at least 1.2V below the positive supply rail.
OPERATING VOLTAGE
The INA331 family is fully specified over a supply range of
+2.7V to +5.5V, with key parameters tested over the temperature range of –55°C to +125°C. Parameters that vary significantly with operating conditions, such as load conditions or
temperature, are shown in the Typical Characteristics.
The INA331 may be operated on a single supply. Figure 2
shows a bridge amplifier circuit operated from a single +5V
supply. The bridge provides a small differential voltage riding
on an input common-mode voltage.

SETTING THE GAIN
The ratio of R2 to R1, or the impedance between pins 1, 5,
and 6, determines the gain of the INA331. With an internally
set gain of 5, the INA331 can be programmed for gains
greater than 5 according to the following equation:
G = 5 + 5 (R2/R1)
The INA331 is designed to provide accurate gain, with gain
error less than 0.1%. Setting gain with matching TC resistors
will minimize gain drift. Errors from external resistors will add
directly to the error, and may become dominant error sources.
how the bias current path can be provided in the cases of
microphone applications, thermistor applications, ground returns, and dc-coupled resistive bridge applications.
When differential source impedance is low, the bias current
return path can be connected to one input. With higher
source impedance, two equal resistors will provide a balanced input. The advantages are lower input offset voltage
due to bias current flowing through the source impedance
and better high-frequency gain.

VIN+ 3
COMMON-MODE INPUT RANGE
The upper limit of the common-mode input range is set by the
common-mode input range of the second amplifier, A2, to
1.2V below positive supply. Under most conditions, the
amplifier operates beyond this point with reduced performance. The lower limit of the input range is bounded by the
output swing of amplifier A1, and is a function of the reference voltage according to the following equation:

The reference pin requires a low-impedance connection. As
little as 160Ω in series with the reference pin will degrade the
CMRR to 80dB. The reference pin may be used to compensate for the offset voltage (see Offset Trimming section). The
reference voltage level also influences the common-mode
input range (see Common-Mode Input Range section).

INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN
With a high input impedance of 1013Ω, the INA331 is ideal for
use with high-impedance sources. The input bias current of
less than 10pA makes the INA331 nearly independent of
input impedance and ideal for low-power applications.
For proper operation, a path must be provided for input bias
currents for both inputs. Without input bias current paths, the
inputs will “float” to a potential that exceeds common-mode
range and the input amplifier will saturate. Figure 3 shows

SHUTDOWN MODE
+5V
The shutdown pin of the INA331 is nominally connected to V+.
When the pin is pulled below 0.8V on a 5V supply, the INA331
goes into sleep mode within nanoseconds. For actual shutdown threshold, see the typical characteristic Shutdown Voltage vs Supply Voltage. Drawing less than 2µA of current, and
returning from sleep mode in microseconds, the shutdown
feature is useful for portable applications. Once in ‘sleepmode’ the amplifier has high output impedance, making the
INA331 suitable for multiplexing.

RAIL-TO-RAIL OUTPUT
A class AB output stage with common-source transistors is
used to achieve rail-to-rail output for gains of 10 or greater.
For resistive loads greater than 10kΩ, the output voltage
can swing to within 25mV of the supply rail while maintaining low gain error. For heavier loads and over temperature,
see the typical characteristic Output Voltage Swing vs
Output Current. The INA331’s low output impedance at high
frequencies makes it suitable for directly driving CapacitiveInput A/D converters, as shown in Figure 4.

OUTPUT BUFFERING
The INA331 is optimized for a load impedance of 10kΩ or
greater. For higher output current the INA331 can be buffered using the OPA340, as shown in Figure 5. The OPA340
can swing within 50mV of the supply rail, driving a 600Ω load.
The OPA340 is available in the tiny MSOP-8 package.
Device inputs are protected by ESD diodes that will conduct
if the input voltages exceed the power supplies by more than
500mV. Momentary voltages greater than 500mV beyond
the power supply can be tolerated if the current through the
input pins is limited to 10mA. This is easily accomplished with
input resistor RLIM, as shown in Figure 7. Many input signals
are inherently current-limited to less than 10mA; therefore, a
limiting resistor is not required.

OFFSET TRIMMING
The INA331 is laser trimmed for low offset voltage. In the
event that external offset adjustment is required, the offset
can be adjusted by applying a correction voltage to the
reference terminal. Figure 6 shows an optional circuit for
trimming offset voltage. The voltage applied to the REF
terminal is added to the output signal. The gain from REF to
VOUT is +1. An op amp buffer is used to provide low
impedance at the REF terminal to preserve good commonmode rejection.

OFFSET VOLTAGE ERROR CALCULATION
FEEDBACK CAPACITOR IMPROVES RESPONSE
The offset voltage (VOS) of the INA331IDGK is specified at a
maximum of 500µV with a +5V power supply and the common-mode voltage at VS/2. Additional specifications for powersupply rejection and common-mode rejection are provided to
allow the user to easily calculate worst-case expected offset
under the conditions of a given application.
For optimum settling time and stability with high-impedance
feedback networks, it may be necessary to add a feedback
capacitor across the feedback resistor, RF, as shown in
Figure 8. This capacitor compensates for the zero created by
the feedback network impedance and the INA331’s RG-pin
input capacitance (and any parasitic layout capacitance).
The effect becomes more significant with higher impedance
networks. Also, RX and CL can be added to reduce highfrequency noise.
Power-Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) is specified in µV/V.
For the INA331, worst case PSRR is 200µV/V, which means
for each volt of change in power supply, the offset may shift
up to 200µV. Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) is
specified in dB, which can be converted to µV/V using the
following equation:
CMRR (in µV/V) =
10[(CMRR in dB)/–20]

INA331
For the INA331, the worst case CMRR over the specified
common-mode range is 90dB (at G = 25) or about 30µV/V
This means that for every volt of change in common-mode,
the offset will shift less than 30µV.
These numbers can be used to calculate excursions from the
specified offset voltage under different application conditions. For example, an application might configure the amplifier with a 3.3V supply with 1V common-mode. This configuration varies from the specified configuration, representing a
1.7V variation in power supply (5V in the offset specification
versus 3.3V in the application) and a 0.65V variation in
common-mode voltage from the specified VS/2.
Calculation of the worst-case expected offset would be as
follows:

FIGURE 8. Feedback Capacitor Improves Dynamic Performance.
It is suggested that a variable capacitor be used for the
feedback capacitor since input capacitance may vary between instrumentation amplifiers, and layout capacitance is
difficult to determine. For the circuit shown in Figure 8, the
value of the variable feedback capacitor should be chosen by
the following equation:
Adjusted VOS = Maximum specified VOS +
(power-supply variation) • PSRR +
(common-mode variation) • CMRR
VOS = 0.5mV + (1.7V • 200µV) + (0.65V • 30µV)
= ±0.860mV
RIN • CIN = RF • CF
However, the typical value will be smaller, as seen in the
Typical Characteristics.

Where CIN is equal to the INA331’s RG-pin input capacitance
(typically 3pF) plus the layout capacitance. The capacitor can
be varied until optimum performance is obtained.

APPLICATION CIRCUITS
Filtering can be modified to suit application needs by changing the capacitor value of the output filter.
MEDICAL ECG APPLICATIONS

ECG amplifier, suitable for moderate accuracy heart-rate
applications such as fitness equipment. The input signals are
obtained from the left and right arms of the patient. The
common-mode voltage is set by two 2MΩ resistors. This
potential through a buffer provides an optional right leg drive.
