DESCRIPTION
The LMP8358 is a precision programmable-gain
instrumentation amplifier in TI's LMP™ precision
amplifier family. Its gain can be programmed to 10,
20, 50, 100, 200, 500, or 1000 through an SPIcompatible serial interface or through a parallel
interface. Alternatively, its gain can be set to an
arbitrary value using two external resistors. The
LMP8358 uses patented techniques to measure and
continuously correct its input offset voltage,
eliminating offset drift over time and temperature and
the effect of 1/f noise. Its ground-sensing CMOS input
features a high CMRR and low input bias currents. It
is capable of sensing differential input voltages in a
common-mode range that extends from 100mV below
the negative supply to 1.4V below the positive supply,
making it an ideal solution for interfacing with groundreferenced sensors, supply-referenced sensor
bridges, and any other application requiring precision
and long-term stability. Additionally, the LMP8358
includes fault detection circuitry to detect open and
shorted inputs and deteriorating connections to the
signal source. Other features that make the LMP8358
a versatile solution for many applications are its railto-rail output, low input voltage noise and high gainbandwidth product.

All limits are specified by testing or statistical analysis.
Typical Values indicate the most likely parametric norm as determined at the time of characterization. Actual typical values may vary
over time and will also depend on the application and configuration. The typical values are not tested and are not ensured on shipped
production material.
Load for these tests is shown in the Timing Diagram Test Circuit.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The LMP8358 is a precision programmable gain instrumentation amplifier. Its gain can be programmed to 10, 20,
50, 100, 200, 500 or 1000 through an SPI-compatible serial interface or through a parallel interface. Alternatively,
its gain can be set to an arbitrary value using external resistors. Note that at low gains the dynamic range is
limited by the maximum input differential voltage of ±100mV. The LMP8358 uses patented techniques to
measure and continuously correct its input offset voltage, eliminating offset drift over time and temperature, and
the effect of 1/f noise. Its ground sensing CMOS input features a high CMRR and low input bias currents. It is
capable of sensing differential input voltages in a common-mode range that extends from 100 mV below the
negative supply to 1.4V below the positive supply, making it an ideal solution for interfacing with groundreferenced sensors, supply-referenced sensor bridges, and any other application requiring precision and long
term stability. Additionally, the LMP8358 includes fault detection circuitry, so open and shorted inputs can be
detected, as well a deteriorating connection to the signal source. Other features that make the LMP8358 a
versatile solution for many applications are: its rail-to-rail output, low input voltage noise and high gain-bandwidth
product.
TRANSIENT RESPONSE TO FAST INPUTS
The LMP8358 is a current-feedback instrumentation amplifier that consists of two auto-zeroed input stages.
These two input stages are operated in a ping-pong fashion: as one stage is auto-zeroed the other stage
provides the path between the input pins and the output. The auto-zeroing decreases offset, offset drift, and 1/f
noise while the ping-pong architecture provides a continuous path between the input and the output. As with all
devices that use auto-zeroing, care must be taken with the signal frequency used with the device. On-chip
continuous auto-zero correction circuitry eliminates the 1/f noise and significantly reduces the offset voltage and
offset voltage drift; all of which are very low-frequency events. For slow-changing sensor signals, below 2kHz,
this correction is transparent. Higher-frequency signals as well as fast changing edges will show a settling and
ramping time lasting about 1μs. Like all auto-zeroing devices, if the input frequency is above the auto-zero
frequency, aliasing will occur. This can occur both at the auto-zeroing frequency of about 12kHz and the pingpong frequency of about 50kHz. If needed, a low-pass filter should be placed on the output of the LMP8358 to
filter out this disturbance.
COMMUNICATION WITH THE PART AND REGISTER DESCRIPTION
The LMP8358 supports a serial and a parallel digital interface mode as shown in Figure 47 and Figure 48.
Parallel user mode Gain is set using G0, G1 and G2 pins. The shutdown mode can be activated by asserting
SHDN. Fault detection features are unavailable.
Serial user mode The part is SPI-programmable through SDI, SCK, SDO and CSB. All features are available.

The interface mode is determined by the two interface level pins VLSER/VHPAR and VHSER/VLPAR.
VLSER/VHPAR < VHSER/VLPAR Serial Interface. VLSER= Logic low level, VHSER = Logic high level.
VLSER/VHPAR > VHSER/VLPAR Parallel interface. VLPAR = Logic low level, VHPAR = Logic high level.
The levels applied to the VLSER/VHPAR and VHSER/VLPAR pins should be between the V+ and V− levels as
shown in Figure 49.

The LMP8358 is put into Parallel Mode by setting VLSER/VHPAR > VHSER/VLPAR. The register in the
LMP8358 does not control the settings of the LMP8358 in this mode. Gain and shutdown are set by placing a
high or low logic level on pins 11 (SHDN), 12 (G2), 13 (G1), and 14 (G0), as shown in Table 1 and Table 2. The
logic high and low levels are defined by the voltages on the VLSER/VHPAR and VHSER/VLPAR pins. See the

Serial Control Interface Operation
The LMP8358 gain, bandwidth compensation, shutdown, input options, and fault detection are controlled by an
on board programmable register. Data to be written into the control register is first loaded into the LMP8358 via
the serial interface. The serial interface employs an 16-bit double-buffered register for glitch-free transitions
between settings. Data is loaded through the serial data input, SDI. Data passing through the shift register is
output through the serial data output, SDO. The serial clock, SCK controls the serial loading process. All sixteen
data bits are required to correctly program the amplifier. The falling edge of CSB enables the shift register to
receive data. The SCK signal must be high during the falling and rising edge of CSB. Each data bit is clocked
into the shift register on the rising edge of SCK. Data is transferred from the shift register to the holding register
on the rising edge of CSB. Operation is shown in the SPI Timing Diagram.
The serial control pins can be connected in one of two ways when two or more LMP8358s are used in an
application.
Star Configuration
The configuration shown in Figure 50 can be used if each LMP8358 will always have the same value in each
register. After the microcontroller writes, all registers will have the same value. Using multiple CSB lines as
shown in Figure 51 allows different values to be written into each register.

Gain (Serial, Parallel)
When the LMP8358 is in Parallel Mode the gain can be set by applying a high or low level to pins 12 (G2), 13
(G1), and 14 (G0), as shown in Table 2. The Frequency Compensation bits are automatically set as shown in
Table 2 to optimize the bandwidth. In Serial Mode the gain is determined by setting G[2:0] as shown in Table 7
and the bandwidth can be changed using the Frequency Compensation bits in the register.

Frequency Compensation (Serial)
The gain-bandwidth compensation is set to one of five levels under program control. The amount of
compensation can be decreased to maximize the available bandwidth as the gain of the amplifier is increased.
The compensation level is selected by setting bits COMP[2:0] of the control register with 000b, 001b, 010b, 011b,
or 1xxb. Table 8 shows the bandwidths achieved at the selectable gain and compensation settings. Note that for
gains 10X and 20X, the recommended compensation setting is 000b. For the gain setting 50X, compensation
settings may be 000b and 001b. Gain settings 100X and 200X may use the three bandwidth compensation
settings 000b, 001b, and 010b. At gains of 500X and 1000X, all bandwidth compensation ranges may be used.
Note that for lower gains, it is possible to under compensate the amplifier into instability.

When MUX[1:0] = 00b and POL = 0b the LMP8358 has the input of a normal instrumentation amplifier. The input
for the LMP8358 is defined as Gain × (V+IN − V−IN). When POL = 1b, the input for the LMP8358 is defined as
Gain × (V−IN – V+IN). Polarity reversal can be used to do system level calibration, for example, to compensate for
thermocouple voltages, residual offset of the LMP8358, or offsets of the sensor or ADC.
Short Inputs
When MUX[1:0] = 01b and POL = 0b both inputs are connected to the +IN pin of the LMP8358. The –IN pin is
left floating. When MUX[1:0] = 01b and POL = 1b both inputs are connected to the -IN pin of the LMP8358. The
+IN pin is left floating.
Compare Input to VWhen MUX[1:0] = 10b or 11b one external input of the LMP8358 is floating. The other external input is divided by
50 as shown in Table 9. The internal instrumentation amplifier input that is not connected to the external pin is
connected to V−. With a scale factor of 1/50 this gives an overall gain of 0.2x, 0.4x, 1x, 2x, 4x, 10x, or 20x
depending on what the gain is set to with G[2:0] bits as shown in Table 10.

Shutdown Enable (Serial, Parallel)
When the SHDN bit of the LMP8358 register is set to 1b the part is put into shutdown mode. It will use less than
1μA in this state.

Filter and External Filter Capacitor (Serial)
The FILT bit controls the state of switch S2 shown in the Block Diagram. When G[2:0] = 000b to 110b, switch S2
will be open if FILT = 0b and S2 will be closed if FILT = 1b. When G[2:0] = 111b switch S2 is always closed and
does not depend on the value in the FILT bit.
When FILT = 1b and COMP[2:0] = 1xxb the LMP8358 is unity-gain stable and an external filter cap can be
applied as shown in Figure 53. The corner filter of the filter is:
F-3dB = 1/(2πRFILTERCFILTER)
(2)
RFILTER depends on the gain of the part and is shown inTable 13.

FAULT DETECTION METHODS
Using the Multiplexer, Polarity, and Current features the end user can detect faults in the system between the
sensor and the LMP8358. These examples will use the set up shown in Figure 54 which shows a bridge sensor
connected through some cabling to a supply and the LMP8358. The fault detection methods are described
below.

Figure 55 shows an example of a degraded connection between the bottom of the bridge and ground. This fault
is shown by the 1.5 kΩ resistor placed between the bridge and ground. This will raise the common mode at the
inputs of the LMP8358 to 4V, which is out of the CMVR. To determine the common mode voltage at the input
pins, use the 1/50 feature by setting MUX[1:0] to 10b to test the +IN pin or to 11b to test the −IN pin, POL to 0b,
and G[2:0] to 010b for a gain of 50 (0082x or 00C2x). This will give an overall gain of 1 and the output will read
4V for either MUX setting.

Figure 56 shows an example of an open input fault. To sense this type of fault use the 1/50 feature by setting
MUX[1:0] to 10b to test the +IN pin or to 11b to test the −IN pin, POL to 0b, PIN to 1b to test the −IN pin, and
G[2:0] to 010b for a gain of 50, and inject 100µA current by setting CUR[2:0] = 101b (5082x or 58C2x). Since the
input is open the input pin will be pulled to V+. With an overall gain of 1 the output will read 5V for open input.

Degraded Input Line
Figure 59 shows an example of a degraded connection between the bridge and the +IN pin of the LMP8358.
This fault is shown by the 1 kΩ resistor placed between the bridge and the LMP8358. To detect this fault use the

Next set MUX[1:0] to 11b and PIN to 1b to test the −IN pin as shown in Figure 60 and read the output (58C2x). If
the voltages of these two measurements are different a degraded input fault exists.

Fault Detection Example
Using the fault detection features of the LMP8358 an end product, such as a scale, can periodically test that no
damage has occurred to the system. A routine can be written that could, for example, run on start up, that will
step through the fault detection features shown above and compare the output voltage to a table like that shown
in Table 16. If the circuit shown in Figure 54 is used the values shown in column 2 of Table 16 would show that
the system is working correctly, the values in the columns under the Possible Faults heading would show that
there is a potential problem and that operator attention is needed.

START UP AND POWER ON RESET
During power on, 50µs after V+ − V− > 1V the LMP8358 resets the internal register to 0000x. If the digital
supplies and inputs are undefined after the Power On Reset transients could occur which can cause erroneous
data to be written over the default values in the register. The following should be done to prevent this from
happening:
• Bring all supplies up at the same time. All power supplies, analog and digital, should be brought up together
within 40µs so that the supplies are not undefined after the Power On Reset at 50µs. This is easiest done by
tying the VHSER/VLPAR and VLSER/VHPAR pins to the analog supplies. — Parallel Mode
• Immediately after power on, write to the register the value needed for the application. (This is always
recommended.) — Serial Mode
LAYOUT
The LMP8358 is a precision device that contains both analog and digital sections as shown in the Block
Diagram. The PCB should be carefully designed to minimize the interaction between the analog and digital
sections and to maximize the performance of the part. This should include the following:
0.1µF ceramic capacitors should be placed as close as possible to each supply pin. If a digital supply pin is tied
to an analog pin only one 0.1µF capacitor is needed for both pins. A larger 1µF or 10µF capacitor should be
located near the part for each supply.
Digital and analog traces should be kept away from each other. Analog and digital traces should not run next to
each other, if they do the digital signal can couple onto the analog line. The LMP8358 pinout is set up to simplify
layout by not having analog, power, and digital pins mixed together. Pins 1 — 6 are the analog signals, pins 7 —
10 are the power pins, and pins 11 — 14 are the digital signals.
Be aware of the signal and power return paths. The return paths of the analog, digital, and power sections should
not cross each other and the return path should be underneath the respective signal or power path. The best
PCB layout is if the bottom plane of the PCB is a solid plane.
The REFF and REFS pins are connected to the bottom side of the gain resistors of the LMP8358 as shown in
the Block Diagram. Any impedance on these pins will change the specified gain. If the REFF and REFS pins are
to be connected to ground they should be tied directly to the ground plane and not through thin traces that can
add impedance. If the REFF and REFS pins are to be connected to a voltage, the voltage source must be low
impedance. This can be done by adding an op amp, such as the LMP7701, set up in a buffer configuration with
the LMP7701 output connected to REFF, the negative input of the op amp connected to REFS, and the desired
reference voltage connected to the positive input of the op amp as shown in Figure 61.
DIFFERENTIAL BRIDGE SENSOR
Non-amplified differential bridge sensors, which are used in a variety of applications, typically have a very small
differential output signal. This small signal needs to be accurately amplified before it can be used by an ADC.
The high DC performance of the LMP8358 makes it a good choice for use with a differential bridge sensor. This
performance includes low input offset voltage, low input offset voltage drift, and high CMRR. The on chip EMI
rejection filters available on the LMP8358 help remove the EMI interference introduced to the signal as shown in
Figure 61 and improves the overall system performance.
The circuit in Figure 61 shows a signal path solution for a typical bridge sensor using the LMP8358. The typical
output voltage of a resistive load cell is 2mV/V. If the bridge sensor is using a 5V supply the maximum output
voltage will be 2mV/V × 5V = 10mV. The bridge voltage in this example is the same as the LMP8358 and
ADC161S626 supply voltage of +5V. This 10mV signal must be accurately amplified by the LMP8358 to best
match the dynamic range of the ADC. This is done by setting the gain of the LMP8358 to 200 which will give an
output from the LMP8358 of 2V. To use the complete range of the ADC161S626 the VREF of the ADC should be
set to half of the input or 1V. This is done by the resistor divider on the VREF pin of the ADC161S626. The

negative input of the ADC and the REFF and REFS pins of the LMP8358 can be set to +2.5V to set the signal at
the center of the supply. A resistor divider supplies +2.5V to the positive input of an LMP7701 set up in a buffer
configuration. The LMP7701 acts as a low impedance source for the REFF pin. The VIOand VHSER/VLPAR pins
should all be set to the same voltage as the microcontroller, +3.3V in this example. The VLSER/VHPAR pin
should be connected to ground. The resistor and capacitor between the LMP8358 and the ADC161S626 serve a
dual purpose. The capacitor is a charge reservoir for the sampling capacitor of the ADC. The resistor provides
isolation for the LMP8358 from the capacitive load. The values listed in the ADC161S626 datasheet are 180Ω for
the resistor and the 470pF for the capacitor. These two components also form a low pass filter of about 1.9MHz.
If a filter is needed to attenuate disturbance from the internal auto−zeroing at 12kHz and the ping−pong
frequency at 50kHz of the LMP8358 these values could be changed to 7870Ω and 0.01µF which will make a filter
with a corner of about 2kHz.
