Low Cost, Precision Difference Amplifiers
The INA133 precision unity gain difference amplifier brings improvedperformance to this versatile circuit building block. Its highperformance op amp and precision laser-trimmed resistors provideexcellent common-mode rejection and gain accuracy. Its output swingto 1V of the rails and low quiescent current (1mA) are well-suited tomodern designs. A dual version, INA2133, saves space and lowerscost.
A companion product, the INA143, provides a differential gain of 10or 1/10. It can also be configured for single-input gains of +10, –10,+11, or 1/10, and is also offered in a space-saving dual version, theINA2143.

High Voltage Difference Amplifiers
The INA146 provides high common-mode voltage range—far beyondits power supply rails. Its precision 10:1 feedback network dividesdown input voltages, handling up to ±100V common-mode signals on±12V supplies (or 40V common-mode on a single 5V supply). Gaincan be accurately programmed with external resistors. It’s great formeasuring voltages on current shunts!
The INA145 has a unity-gain difference amp input stage with the sameresistor-programmed output gain. The INA145 and INA146 add a newdimension to the versatility of the difference amp.

FET-Input Instrumentation Amplifier
The INA121 is a low power, FET-input instrumentation amplifier. FET-input IAs reduce errors and noise when amplifying signals fromhigh impedance sources.
The INA121 offers lower power (450µA), higher accuracy, and lowercost than previous FET instrumentation amplifiers.

The INA122 micropower, single supply instrumentation amplifier isideal for battery–powered applications. Operating on a mere 60µA, itis the lowest power instrumentation amplifier available. Its wideoutput voltage swing (150mV to the rails) and wide power supplyrange (2.2V to 36V single supply) make it a versatile performer.
Special circuitry allows its input common-mode voltage to extend tothe negative rail (or single supply ground)—a feat that cannot beduplicated with discrete circuits using single supply op amps.
The INA122 is ideal for a wide range of micropower, single supplyapplications in general data acquisition, industrial and medicalinstrumentation.
Single Supply, CMOS, Instrumentation Amplifier
The INA155 is a single supply, CMOS IA with rail-to-rail output andprovides fixed gains of 10 and 50 CMOS inputs provide very highinput impedance low input bias current.
The INA155 operates on supplies from 2.5V to 5.5V and its outputswings to within 10mV of either rail. With 6V/µs slew rate, it caneasily drive CDAC A/D converters.
Its combination of low power, high speed, and low noise make theINA155 well suited for portable, single supply applications.

DDifference AmplifiersThe difference amplifier is a closed–loop fixed–gain block that allows the acquisition of signals in the presence
of ground loops and noise. These versatile devices can be used in a wide variety of circuit configurations.

Difference Amplifier Topology
The basic difference amplifier employs an op amp and fouron-chip precision matched resistors.
The INA132 operates on a single 2.7V to 36V supply andconsumes only 160µA. It can be configured to provide a differential gain of 1 or –1, or single-ended gains of +1, –1,+1/2, or –1/2.
The output signal is referenced to the Ref pin which is generallygrounded. The output sense pin can be connected at the load toreduce gain error.
Since the resistor network divides down the input voltages,difference amplifiers can operate with input signals that exceedthe power supplies.

Our complete instrumentation amplifier product line is available in a wide range of popularpackages including surface-mount and through-hole types. Many are now available in newfine-pitch microPackages. Dual versions save space and provide lower cost in multi-channel applications.
Actual Package Sizes
Difference amps and instrumentation amps require precision resistors to perform theirintended function. A unity-gain difference amplifier constructed with a precision op ampand 1% film resistors yields a scant 46dB common-mode rejection…hardly precise! Even0.1% resistors cannot achieve the performance of a quality integrated difference ampbecause individual resistors do not drift the same over temperature. The on-chip laser-trimmed film resistors in these modern difference and instrumentation amps trackprecisely over temperature, maintaining accurate gain and CMR characteristics. Discretesolutions simply don't measure up!

IInstrumentation AmplifiersThe instrumentation amplifier is a closed–loop adjustable gain block that allows the amplification of low-level signals in the
presence of common-mode errors and noise. Burr-Brown offers many types of instrumentation amplifiers including single supply,
low power, high speed, low noise, and low cost devices. These instrumentation amplifiers are available either in the traditional
3-op-amp or in the cost saving 2-op-amp topology.
The two-op-amp topology can provide wider common-mode range.Their simpler internal circuitry allows lower cost, lower quiescentcurrent and smaller package sizes. This topology, however, does notlend itself to gains less than four or five.

Single Supply Instrumentation Amplifiers
The INA122 is designed to offer exceptional performance whenoperating on a single power supply–particularly at low operatingvoltage. The graph depicts the allowable common-mode inputvoltage versus output voltage for the INA122 compared to theINA128. Special input buffer circuitry extends the linear inputcommon-mode voltages very close to ground (or negative rail ondual supplies).
Instrumentation Amplifier Topologies
The three-op-amp topology is the benchmark for instrumentationamplifier performance. These devices provide a wide gain range(down to G=1) and generally offer highest performance.Symmetrical inverting and non-inverting gain paths provide bettercommon-mode rejection at high frequencies. Some types usecurrent–feedback type input op amps which maintain excellentbandwidth in high gain.

4-20mA Topologies
Burr-Brown offers two basic types of two-wire 4-20mAtransmitters—current excitation or voltage excitation. The XTR105,XTR112, and XTR114 provide current sources for exciting RTDs andbridges. The XTR106 provides voltage excitation for strain gagesand pressure sensor bridges.
Both types include linearization circuitry that can reduce sensorerror by as much as 20:1. Linearization is accomplished by varyingthe sensor excitation current or voltage.
4 Burr-Brown Corporation
The 4-20mA transmitter provides a versatile instrumentation amplifier input with a current loop output. These devices also
include scaling, offsetting, sensor excitation and linearization circuitry. A current receiver, RCV420, is also available. This device
converts the transmitted current to a voltage. The two devices form a complete 4-20mA system that allows the accurate transmission
of analog signals over long distances.
4-20mA System
A complete 4-20mA system is shown using an XTR106 and theRCV420.
Such a system is capable of measuring temperature or pressure ata distant location without a local power source. The sensor signal isamplified, linearized and transmitted as a current to a monitoringlocation. The signal is received by the RCV420 and scaled from the4-20mA line into a voltage between 0 and 5V.
Power for this entire system is supplied from the receiving side ofthe current loop. Two wires supply power to the transmitter circuitryand send the current-mode signal to the distant receiver.
An on-chip voltage regulator is provided for conveniently poweringexternal circuitry. All circuitry is powered from the two-wire currentloop used to transmit the signal. No power supply is required at thetransmitter site.

Sensor LinearizationKey to the accuracy of several of these 4-20mA transmitters is their ability tolinearize the output of many sensors. The platinum RTD, for example, has avery predictable resistance vs temperature characteristic. Its uncompensatedresponse, however, has a substantial non linearity (several percent,depending on the range) that peaks at the midpoint. Components notedabove include circuitry to dramatically improve the sensor nonlinearity andreduce the total error 40 to 1 (see corrected response). The XTR103,XTR105, XTR112 and XTR114 are optimized for signal conditioning andlinearization of RTD temperature sensors and some bridges.
Ratiometric sensors of many types (those whose output is proportional to an excitation voltage or current) can be linearized with these techniques.Voltage-excited bridge sensors (strain gages, for example) often have anupward or downward bowing response (see right). The XTR104 and XTR106can substantially improve the accuracy of these devices. They achieve up toa 20:1 improvement in transfer function linearity.
