This example uses an OPA376 as the buffer operational amplifier. Depending on the application, alternative single-supply buffer operational amplifiers include the OPA330 and OPA378. The OPA277 is a good choice for high-voltage applications. A buffered configuration is useful when the source impedance is high (for example, a voltage divider). Buffering a high-impedance source with an operational amplifier provides a low-impedance source, and thus preserves common-mode rejection. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. +5 V to V+ and OAV+ test points. GND to V– and OAV– test points. +2.5 V to OAVIN+ test point. Populate R3 with a 0-Ω resistor. Populate C4, C5, C11, and C12 with bypass capacitors. Differential input (for example, a 0.1-VPP sine wave) to V–IN and V+IN test points. Oscilloscope to VO test point. Ensure that R1 = R2 = RO = 0 Ω and that RG, CO, R4, and R5 are not populated.

For the unpopulated device (U2), power is applied using test points OAV+ and OAV–. 4.2 Inputs Inputs are applied to the INA827 using test points V+IN and V–IN. Alternately, they can be applied by populating the input SMA connectors (J1 and J2). The inputs for U2 are applied through test points OAVIN+ and OAVIN–. 4.2.1 Input Filtering R1, R2, and C1 through C3 provide the ability to apply common-mode and differential-mode filtering to the inputs. The cutoff frequencies for the filters are shown in Equation 1 and Equation 2. It is recommended to make C2 approximately ten times larger than C1 and C3. These calculations presume R1 = R2 and C1 = C3. Common-mode cutoff frequency: fc 1 2S ˜ R1 ˜ C 1 cm (1) Differential-mode cutoff frequency: fc 4.3 1 dm C1 · § 2S R1 R 2 ¨ C 2 ¸ 2 ¹ © (2) Outputs The output of the INA827 can be accessed with test point VO. Alternately, it can be accessed by populating the output SMA connector (J3). 4.3.1 Output Filtering RO and CO provide the ability to apply a single-pole RC output filter. The cutoff frequency of the output filter can be calculated as shown in Equation 3. fc 4.4 o 1 2 S ˜ RO ˜ CO (3) Reference There are multiple methods of applying a reference voltage to the INA827. A straightforward approach is to apply a voltage to the REF test point with U2 not populated. If a buffered voltage is desired, U2 can be populated with an operational amplifier in an appropriate SO-8 package and pinout. 4.5 Prototype Area Two prototype areas are provided for flexible evaluation. For example, they can be used to prototype a voltage divider for a buffered reference voltage or to supply a direct reference voltage with a device such as the REF3225.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of any TI components in safety-critical applications. In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms. No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use. Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI has specifically designated certain components which meet ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. Components which have not been so designated are neither designed nor intended for automotive use; and TI will not be responsible for any failure of such components to meet such requirements.
