Very-High Accuracy
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● VERSATILE FOUR OP AMP DESIGN
The INA104 is a high accuracy, multistage, integrated-circuit instrumentation amplifier designed for
signal conditioning requirements where very high performance is desired.
A multiamplifier, monolithic design, which uses BurrBrown’s ultra-low drift, low-noise technology, provides the highest performance with maximum versatility at the lowest cost and makes the INA104 ideal for
even high volume applications.
Burr-Brown’s compatible thin-film resistors and lasertrimming techniques are used for minimizing offset
voltage and temperature drift. This advanced technique also maximizes common-mode rejection and
gain accuracy.
The INA104 also contains a fourth operational amplifier, specified separately, which can conveniently be
used for some important applications such as single
capacitor active low-pass filtering, easy output level
shifting, common-mode voltage active guard drive,
and increased gain (x 10,000 and greater).

DISCUSSION
OF PERFORMANCE
USING THE INA104
Figure 1 shows the simplest configuration of the
INA104. The gain is set by the external resistor, RG,
with a gain equation of G = 1 + (40k/RG). The
accuracy and TCR of RG contribute directly to the gain
accuracy and drift.
For gains greater than unity, resistor RG is connected
between pins 5 and 14. At high gains, where the value of
RG becomes small, additional resistance (i.e., relays,
sockets) in series with RG will contribute to gain error.
Care should be taken to minimize this effect. However,
this error can be virtually eliminated with the INA104 by
using the Gain Sense circuit connection.
Pins 1, 5, 14, and 18 are accessible so that a fourterminal connection can be made to RG. (Pins 1 and 18
are the voltage sense terminals, since no signal current
flows into the operational amplifiers’ inputs.) This is
useful at high gains, where the value of RG is small.
The optional offset adjust capability is shown in
Figure 1. The adjustment affects only the input stage
component of the offset voltage. Thus, the null condition will be disturbed (if input offset is not adjusted
to zero) when the gain is changed. Also, the input
drift will be affected by approximately 0.31µV/°C
per 100µV of input offset voltage that is trimmed.
Therefore, care should be taken when considering use
of the control for removal of other sources of offset.
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIERS
Instrumentation amplifiers are closed-loop gain blocks whose
committed circuitry accurately amplifies the voltage applied
to their inputs. They respond only to the difference between
the two input signals and exhibit extremely high input impedance, both differentially and common-mode. Feedback networks are packaged within the amplifier module. Only one
external gain setting resistor must be added. An operational
amplifier, on the other hand, is an open-loop, uncommitted
device that requires external networks to close the loop.
While operational amplifiers can be used to achieve the same
basic function as instrumentation amplifiers, it is difficult to
reach the same level of performance. Using operational
amplifiers often leads to design trade-offs when it is necessary to amplify low level signals in the presence of commonmode voltages while maintaining high input impedances.
THE INA104
A simplified schematic of the INA104 is shown on the front
pages of this data sheet. It is a three-amplifier device which
provides all the desirable characteristics of a premium performance instrumentation amplifier. In addition, it has features not normally found on integrated circuit instrumentation amplifiers.
The input section (A1 and A2) incorporates high performance, low drift amplifier circuitry. The amplifiers are
connected in the non-inverting configuration to provide the
high input impedance (1010Ω) desirable in the instrumentation amplifier function. The offset voltage and offset voltage
versus temperature is low due to the monolithic design and
improved even further by the state-of-the-art, laser-trimming
techniques.
The output section (A3) is connected in a unity-gain difference amplifier configuration. A critical part of this stage is
the matching of the four 10kΩ resistors which provide the
difference function. These resistors must be initially well
matched and the matching must be maintained over temperature and time in order to retain excellent common-mode
rejection. (The 106dB minimum at 60Hz for gains greater
than 100V/V is a significant improvement compared to most
other integrated circuit instrumentation amplifiers.)
All of the internal resistors are compatible, thin-film nichrome
formed with the integrated circuit. The critical resistors are
laser-trimmed to provide the desired high gain accuracy and
common-mode rejection. Nichrome ensures long-term stability of trimmed resistors and excellent TCR and TCR
tracking. This provides gain accuracy and common-mode
rejection when the INA104 is operated over wide temperature ranges.
The fourth op amp (A4) of the INA104 adds a great deal of
versatility and convenience to the amplifier. It allows easy
implementation of active low-pass filtering, output offsetting, and additional gain generation. The pin connections
make the use of this stage optional and the specifications
appear separately in the table of Specifications.
This circuit may be used as replacement for
the single potentiometer. It will adjust offset
+VCC
and leave drift unchanged.

OPTIONAL OFFSET ADJUSTMENT
PROCEDURE
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
It is frequently desirable to null the input component of offset
(Figure 1) and occasionally that of the output (Figure 2). The
quality of the potentiometer will affect the results, therefore,
choose one with good temperature and mechanical-resistance
stability. The procedure is as follows:
1. Set E1 = E2 = 0V (be sure a good ground return path exists
to the input).
2. Set the gain to the desired value (greater than 1) by
choosing RG.
3. Adjust the 100kΩ potentiometer in Figure 1 until the
output reads 0V ±1mV or desired setting. Note that the
offset will change when the gain is changed.
4. If the output component of offset is to be removed or if it
is desired to establish an intentional offset, adjust the
100kΩ potentiometer in Figure 2 until the output reads 0V
±1mV or desired setting. Note that the offset will not
change with gain, but be sure to use a stable amplifier with
good DC characteristics. The range of adjustment is ±15mV
as shown. For larger ranges, change the ratio of R1 to R2.
The op amp is used to maintain a low resistance (<0.1Ω)
from pin 6 to Common to avoid CMR degradation.
Many applications of instrumentation amplifiers involve the
amplification of low-level differential signals from bridges
and transducers such as strain gages, thermocouples, and
RTDs. Some of the important parameters include commonmode rejection (differential cancellation of common-mode
offset and noise), input impedance, offset voltage and drift,
gain accuracy, linearity, and noise. The INA104 accomplishes all of these with high precision.
Figure 3 shows how the output stage may be used to provide
additional gain. If gains greater than 1000V/V (10,000 up to
100,000 and greater) are desired, it is better to place some
gain in the output amplifier rather than the input stage due

BASIC CIRCUIT CONNECTION
The basic circuit connection for the INA104 is shown in Figure
1. The output voltage is a function of the differential input
voltage times the gain. Figure 1 does not include additional
internal op amp A4. Power supply bypassing with a 1µF
tantalum capacitor or equivalent is always recommended.

In applications which do not use the fourth internal amplifier
(A4—pins 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12), pin 7 should be connected
to Common and pins 10 and 11 should be connected together. This will prevent the output of A4 from saturating
(“locking-up”) and affecting the offset of the instrumentation amplifier, A1, A2, and A3.

to the low values of RG required (RG < 40Ω for (1 + 40k/RG)
> 1000). Note, however, that accuracy can degrade due to
high amplification of offset, drift, and noise errors.
Output offsetting (“zero suppression” or “zero elevation”)
may be more easily accomplished with the INA104 than
with most other IC instrumentation amplifiers as shown in
Figure 4. The use of the extra internal op amp, A4, means
that CMR of the instrumentation amp is not disturbed, and
that a convenient value of variable resistor can be used. The
circuit shown in Figure 2 can also be used to achieve the
desired offsetting by scaling the resistors R1 and R2. A low
impedance path from pin 6 to Common should be provided
to achieve the high CMR specified. Resistance above 0.1Ω
will cause the CMR to fall below 106dB.
Amplifier A4 also allows active low-pass filtering to be
implemented conveniently with a single capacitor. Filtering
can be used for noise reduction or band-limiting of the
output signal as shown in Figure 6.
The common-mode voltage from the 26kΩ resistors in the
input section appears at pin 4. Figure 5 shows how this
voltage can be used to drive the shield of the input cable.
Since the cable is driven at the common-mode voltage, the
effects of distributed capacitance is reduced and the AC
system common-mode rejection may be improved. Amplifier A4 buffers the CMV at pin 4 from the input cable.
Some typical application circuits are shown in Figures 9
through 11.

GENERAL RECOMMENDED HANDLING
PROCEDURES FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
All semiconductor devices are vulnerable, in varying degrees, to damage from the discharge of electrostatic energy.
Such damaging can cause performance degradation or failure, either immediate or latent. As a general practice, we
recommend the following handling procedures to reduce the
risk of electrostatic damage.
2. Ground all operators, equipment, and work stations.
3. Transport and ship microcircuits, or products incorporating microcircuits, in static-free, shielded containers.
4. Connect together all leads of each device by means of a
conductive material, when the device is not connected
into a circuit.
1. Remove static-generating materials, such as untested plastics, from all areas that handle microcircuits.
5. Control relative humidity to as high a value as practical
(50% is recommended).
