It provides complete bridge excitation and precision differential-input amplification on a single integrated circuit. A single external resistor sets any gain from 4 to 10,000. The INA125 is laser-trimmed for low offset voltage (250µV), low offset drift (2µV/°C), and high common-mode rejection (100dB at G = 100). It operates on single (+2.7V to +36V) or dual (±1.35V to ±18V) supplies. 15 VREF5 4R VREF10 16 4 10V The voltage reference is externally adjustable with pinselectable voltages of 2.5V, 5V, or 10V, allowing use with a variety of transducers. The reference voltage is accurate to ±0.5% (max) with ±35ppm/°C drift (max). Sleep mode allows shutdown and duty cycle operation to save power. The INA125 is available in 16-pin plastic DIP and SO-16 surface-mount packages and is specified for the –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.

It is recommended that VREFOUT be connected to one of the reference voltage pins even when the reference is not being utilized to avoid saturating the reference amplifier. Driving the SLEEP pin LOW puts the INA125 in a shutdown mode. Figure 1 shows the basic connections required for operation of the INA125. Applications with noisy or high impedance power supplies may require decoupling capacitors close to the device pins as shown. The output is referred to the instrumentation amplifier reference (IAREF) terminal which is normally grounded. This must be a low impedance connection to assure good common-mode rejection. A resistance of 12Ω in series with the IAREF pin will cause a typical device to degrade to approximately 80dB CMR (G = 4). SETTING THE GAIN Gain of the INA125 is set by connecting a single external resistor, RG, between pins 8 and 9: G =4+ Connecting VREFOUT (pin 4) to one of the four available reference voltage pins (VREFBG, VREF2.5, VREF5, or VREF10) provides an accurate voltage source for bridge applications. 60kΩ RG (1) Commonly used gains and RG resistor values are shown in Figure 1.

Basic Connections. ® INA125 10 VO – INPUT COMMON-MODE RANGE The 60kΩ term in equation 1 comes from the internal metal film resistors which are laser trimmed to accurate absolute values. The accuracy and temperature coefficient of these resistors are included in the gain accuracy and drift specifications of the INA125. The input common-mode range of the INA125 is shown in the typical performance curves. The common-mode range is limited on the negative side by the output voltage swing of A2, an internal circuit node that cannot be measured on an external pin. The output voltage of A2 can be expressed as: V = 1.3V – – (V + – V – ) (10kΩ/R ) The stability and temperature drift of the external gain setting resistor, RG, also affects gain. RG’s contribution to gain accuracy and drift can be directly inferred from the gain equation (1). Low resistor values required for high gain can make wiring resistance important. Sockets add to the wiring resistance, which will contribute additional gain error (possibly an unstable gain error) in gains of approximately 100 or greater. 02 V+ The on-board precision voltage reference provides an accurate voltage source for bridge and other transducer applications or ratiometric conversion with analog-to-digital converters. A reference output of 2.5V, 5V or 10V is available by connecting VREFOUT (pin 4) to one of the VREF pins (VREF2.5, VREF5, or VREF10). Reference voltages are lasertrimmed for low inital error and low temperature drift. Connecting VREFOUT to VREFBG (pin 13) produces the bandgap reference voltage (1.24V ±0.5%) at the reference output. 100µA 1/2 REF200 IAREF IN OPA237 10kΩ G PRECISION VOLTAGE REFERENCE V+ VO INA125 IN The internal op amp A2 is identical to A1. Its output swing is limited to approximately 0.8V from the positive supply and 0.25V from the negative supply. When the input common-mode range is exceeded (A2’s output is saturated), A1 can still be in linear operation, responding to changes in the non-inverting input voltage. The output voltage, however, will be invalid. The INA125 is laser trimmed for low offset voltage and offset voltage drift. Most applications require no external offset adjustment. Figure 2 shows an optional circuit for trimming the output offset voltage. The voltage applied to the IAREF terminal is added to the output signal. The op amp buffer is used to provide low impedance at the IAREF terminal to preserve good common-mode rejection. RG IN (voltages referred to IAREF terminal, pin 5) OFFSET TRIMMING – VIN IN Positive supply voltage must be 1.25V above the desired reference voltage. For example, with V+ = 2.7V, only the 1.24V reference (VREFBG) can be used. If using dual supplies VREFCOM can be connected to V–, increasing the 100Ω ±10mV Adjustment Range 100Ω 100µA 1/2 REF200 Microphone, Hydrophone etc. INA125 V– FIGURE 2. Optional Trimming of Output Offset Voltage. 47kΩ 47kΩ INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN The input impedance of the INA125 is extremely high— approximately 1011Ω. However, a path must be provided for the input bias current of both inputs. This input bias current flows out of the device and is approximately 10nA. High input impedance means that this input bias current changes very little with varying input voltage. Thermocouple INA125 10kΩ Input circuitry must provide a path for this input bias current for proper operation. Figure 3 shows various provisions for an input bias current path. Without a bias current path, the inputs will float to a potential which exceeds the commonmode range, and the input amplifiers will saturate. INA125 If the differential source resistance is low, the bias current return path can be connected to one input (see the thermocouple example in Figure 3). With higher source impedance, using two equal resistors provides a balanced input with possible advantages of lower input offset voltage due to bias current and better high frequency common-mode rejection. Center-tap provides bias current return. FIGURE 3. Providing an Input Common-Mode Current Path. ® 11 INA125 A transition region exists when VSLEEP is between 400mV and 2.7V (with respect to VREFCOM) where the output is unpredictable. Operation in this region is not recommended. The INA125 achieves high accuracy quickly following wakeup (VSLEEP ≥ 2.7V). See the typical performance curve “Input-Referred Offset Voltage vs Sleep Turn-on Time.” If shutdown is not being used, connect the SLEEP pin to V+. amount of supply voltage headroom available to the reference. Approximately 180µA flows out of the VREFCOM terminal, therefore, it is recommended that it be connected through a low impedance path to sensor common to avoid possible ground loop problems. Reference noise is proportional to the reference voltage selected. With VREF = 2.5V, 0.1Hz to 10Hz peak-to-peak noise is approximately 9µVp-p. Noise increases to 36µVp-p for the 10V reference. Output drive capability of the voltage reference is improved by connecting a transistor as shown in Figure 4. The external transistor also serves to remove power from the INA125. LOW VOLTAGE OPERATION The INA125 can be operated on power supplies as low as ±1.35V. Performance remains excellent with power supplies ranging from ±1.35V to ±18V. Most parameters vary only slightly throughout this supply voltage range—see typical performance curves. Operation at very low supply voltage requires careful attention to ensure that the common-mode voltage remains within its linear range. See “Input Common-Mode Voltage Range.” As previously mentioned, when using the on-board reference with low supply voltages, it may be necessary to connect VREFCOM to V– to ensure VS – VREF ≥ 1.25V. Internal resistors that set the voltage reference output are ratio-trimmed for accurate output voltages (±0.5% max). The absolute resistance values, however, may vary ±25%. Adjustment of the reference output voltage with an external resistor is not recommended because the required resistor value is uncertain. VREFCOM INA125 SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION 12 The INA125 can be used on single power supplies of +2.7V to +36V. Figure 5 shows a basic single supply circuit. The IAREF, VREFCOM, and V– terminals are connected to ground. Zero differential input voltage will demand an output voltage of 0V (ground). When the load is referred to ground as shown, actual output voltage swing is limited to approximately 150mV above ground. The typical performance curve “Output Voltage Swing vs Output Current” shows how the output swing varies with output current. 13 VREFBG VREF2.5 VREF5 VREF10 14 15 With single supply operation, careful attention should be paid to input common-mode range, output voltage swing of both op amps, and the voltage applied to the IAREF terminal. VIN+ and VIN– must both be 1V above ground for linear operation. You cannot, for instance, connect the inverting input to ground and measure a voltage connected to the noninverting input. 16 V+ 4 TIP29C VREFOut Ref Amp Bandgap VREF 10V to load (transducer) +3V +3V FIGURE 4. Reference Current Boost. 1.5V – ∆V SHUTDOWN 1000Ω The INA125 has a shutdown option. When the SLEEP pin is LOW (100mV or less), the supply current drops to approximately 1µA and output impedance becomes approximately 80kΩ. Best performance is achieved with CMOS logic. To maintain low sleep current at high temperatures, VSLEEP should be as close to 0V as possible. This should not be a problem if using CMOS logic unless the CMOS gate is driving other currents. Refer to the typical performance curve, “Sleep Current vs Temperature.” 1.5V + ∆V 12 VO INA125 12 5 3 FIGURE 5. Single Supply Bridge Amplifier. ® INA125 RG RL INPUT PROTECTION The inputs of the INA125 are individually protected for voltage up to ±40V. For example, a condition of –40V on one input and +40V on the other input will not cause damage. Internal circuitry on each input provides low series impedance under normal signal conditions. To provide equivalent protection, series input resistors would contribute excessive noise. If the input is overloaded, the protection circuitry limits the input current to a safe value of approximately 120µA to 190µA. The typical performance curve “Input Bias Current vs Input Overload Voltage” shows this input current limit behavior. The inputs are protected even if the power supplies are disconnected or turned off.
