Dual Micropower, Single Supply, Rail-toRail Input and Output (RRIO)
Instrumentation Amplifier
The ISL28271 and ISL28272 are dual micropower
instrumentation amplifiers (in-amps) optimized for low 2.4V
to 5V single supplies.
FN6390.0
Features
• 120µA typical supply current for both channels
• 30pA max input bias current
• 100dB CMRR, PSRR
• 0.7µV/°C offset voltage temperature coefficient
Both devices feature an Input Range Enhancement Circuit
(IREC) which maintains CMRR performance for input
voltages equal to the positive and negative supply rails. The
input signal is capable of swinging 10% above the positive
supply rail and to 100mV below the negative supply with only
a slight degradation of the CMRR performance. The output
operation is rail to rail.
• 180kHz 3dB Bandwidth - ISL28271
The ISL28271 is compensated for a minimum gain of 10 or
more. For higher gain applications, the ISL28272 is
compensated for a minimum gain of 100. The in-amps have
CMOS input devices for maximum input common voltage
range. The amplifiers can be operated from one lithium cell
or two Ni-Cd batteries.
• Input is capable of swinging above V+ and below V(ground sensing)

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free plus anneal products employ special Pb-free
material sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte
tin plate termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and compatible
with both SnPb and Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil Pb-free
products are MSL classified at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that
meet or exceed the Pb-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.

Application Information
Product Description
The ISL28271 and ISL28272 are dual channel micropower
instrumentation amplifiers (in-amps) which deliver rail-to-rail
input amplification and rail-to-rail output swing. The in-amps
also deliver excellent DC and AC specifications while
consuming only about 120µA for both channels. Because
the independent pair of feedback terminals set the gain and
adjust the output zero level, the ISL28271 and ISL28272
achieve high CMRR regardless of the tolerance of the gain
setting resistors. The ISL28271 is internally compensated for
a minimum gain of 10. The ISL28272 is internally
compensated for a minimum gain of 100.
EN pins are available to independently enable or disable a
channel. When all channels are off, current consumption is
down to typically 4µA.
Input Protection
All input terminals and feedback terminals have internal ESD
protection diodes to both positive and negative supply rails,
limiting the input voltage to within one diode beyond the
supply rails. Input signals originating from low impedance
sources should have current limiting resistors in series with
the IN+ and IN- pins to prevent damaging currents during
power supply sequencing and other transient conditions.
The ISL28272 has additional back-to-back diodes across the
input terminals and also across the feedback terminals. If
overdriving the inputs is necessary, the external input current
must never exceed 5mA. External series resistors may be
used as an external protection to limit excessive external
voltage and current from damaging the inputs. On the other
hand, the ISL28271 has no clamps to limit the differential
voltage on the input terminals allowing higher differential
input voltages at lower gain applications. It is recommended
however, that the terminals of the ISL28271 are not
overdriven beyond 1V to avoid offset drift.
Input Stage and Input Voltage Range
The input terminals (IN+ and IN-) of the in-amps are a single
differential pair of CMOS devices aided by an Input Range
Enhancement Circuit, IREC, to increase the headroom of
operation of the common-mode input voltage. The feedback
terminals (FB+ and FB-) also have a similar topology. As a
result, the input common-mode voltage range is rail-to-rail
regardless of the feedback terminal settings and regardless
of the gain settings. They are able to handle input voltages
that are at or slightly beyond the supply and ground sensing
making these in-amps well suited for single 5V down to 2.4V
supply systems.
The IREC enables rail-to-rail input amplification without the
problems usually associated with the dual differential stage
topology. The IREC ensures that there are no drastic
changes in offset voltage over the entire range of the input.
See Input Offset Voltage vs Common-Mode Input Voltage in
11
performance charts. IREC also cures the abrupt change and
even reverse polarity of the input bias current over the whole
range of input.
Output Stage and Output Voltage Range
A Class AB common-source output stage drives the output.
The pair of complementary MOSFET devices drive the
output VOUT to within a few millivolts of the supply rails. At a
100kΩ load, the PMOS sources current and pulls the output
up to 4mV below the positive supply. The NMOS sinks
current and pulls the output down to 4mV above the negative
supply, or ground in the case of a single supply operation.
The current sinking and sourcing capability are internally
limited to 31mA. When disabled, the outputs are in a high
impedance state.
Gain Setting
VIN, the potential difference across IN+ and IN-, is replicated
(less the input offset voltage) across FB+ and FB-. The
function of the in-amp is to maintain the differential voltage
across FB- and FB+ equal to IN+ and IN-; (FB- - FB+) =
(IN+ - IN-). Consequently, the transfer function can be
derived. The in-amp gain is set by two external resistors, the
feedback resistor RF, and the gain resistor RG.

In Figure 37, the FB+ pin and one end of resistor RG are
connected to GND. With this configuration, the above gain
equation (Equation 1) is only true for a positive swing in VIN;
negative input swings will be ignored because the output will
be at ground.
Reference Connection
Unlike a three op-amp in-amp realization, a finite series
resistance seen at the REF terminal does not degrade the
high CMRR performance eliminating the need for an

A finite resistance RS in series with the VREF source, adds
an output offset of VIN*(RS/RG). As the series resistance
RS approaches zero, Equation 3 is simplified to Equation 4
for Figure 39. VOUT is simply shifted by an amount VREF.
External Resistor Mismatches
REF
R2
VIN = IN+ – IN-
(EQ. 2)
Because of the independent pair of feedback terminals
provided by the in-amps, the CMRR is not degraded by any
resistor mismatches. Hence, unlike a three op-amp and
especially a two op-amp in-amp realization, the ISL28271
and ISL28272 reduce the cost of external components by
allowing the use of 1% or more tolerance resistors without
sacrificing CMRR performance. The CMRR will be typically
110dB regardless of the tolerance of the resistors used.
Instead, a resistor mismatch results in a higher deviation
from the theoretical gain - Gain Error.
Gain Error and Accuracy
The FB+ pin is used as a REF terminal to center or to adjust
the output. Because the FB+ pin is a high impedance input,
an economical resistor divider can be used to set the voltage
at the REF terminal without degrading or affecting the CMRR
performance. Any voltage applied to the REF terminal will
shift VOUT by VREF times the closed loop gain, which is set
by resistors RF and RG. See Figure 38.
The FB+ pin can also be connected to the other end of
resistor, RG. See Figure 39. Keeping the basic concept that
the in-amp maintains constant differential voltage across the
input terminals and feedback terminals (FB- - FB+) =
(IN+ - IN-), the transfer function of Figure 39 can be derived.

The term [1 - (ERG +ERF +EG)] is the deviation from the
theoretical gain. Thus, (ERG +ERF +EG) is the total gain
error. For example, if 1% resistors are used, the total gain

The gain error indicated in the electrical specifications table

The ISL28271 and ISL28272 have an enable/disable pin for
each channel. They can be powered down to reduce the
supply current to typically 4µA when all channels are off.
When disabled, the corresponding output is in a high
impedance state. The active low EN pin has an internal pull
down and hence can be left floating and the in-amp enabled
by default. When the EN is connected to an external logic,

the in-amp will shutdown when EN pin is pulled above 2V,
and will power up when EN bar is pulled below 0.8V.
Unused Channels
The ISL28271and ISL28272 are Dual channel op-amps. If
the application only requires one channel when using the
ISL28271 or ISL28272, the user must configure the unused
channel to prevent it from oscillating. The unused channel
will oscillate if the input and output pins are floating. This will
result in higher than expected supply currents and possible
noise injection into the channel being used. The proper way
to prevent this oscillation is to configure the feedback pins
(FB+, FB-) with the minimum gain stable values for the
amplifier with RF and RG resistors and tieing the input
terminals to ground (as shown in Figure 40).
