Product details
Overview
INA101HP from Burr-Brown (now Texas Instruments) is a high-accuracy instrumentation amplifier optimized for low-level DC-coupled signal conditioning in precision measurement systems. It delivers 0.25µV/°C max input offset drift, 25µV max initial offset voltage, 0.002% nonlinearity, 106dB CMR at 60Hz, and 13nV/√Hz input voltage noise density at 1kHz - enabling stable amplification of thermocouple, strain gage, and RTD outputs in industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the INA101HP datasheet, INA101HP pinout, INA101HP application, or INA101HP equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (14-pin plastic DIP), gain-setting resistor interface details, thermal drift behavior, common-mode rejection vs frequency curves, and validated alternative options for medical instrumentation, remote transducer, and bridge-based sensing designs.
Technical Context
The INA101HP integrates three laser-trimmed precision op amps and on-chip metal-film resistors on a monolithic IC to implement a three-op-amp instrumentation topology with fixed internal 10kΩ/20kΩ resistor networks. Gain is set externally via a single RG resistor using G = 1 + 40kΩ/RG, supporting 1× to 1000× programmable gain with <0.1% error at G=100.
Its input stage features 10¹⁰Ω || 3pF differential and common-mode impedance, while output stage delivers ±10V linear swing into 2kΩ load with 0.2V/µs min slew rate and 40µs (0.1%) settling time at G=100. The device operates from ±5V to ±20V supplies and is specified for 0°C to +70°C ambient.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed resistor network | On-chip 10kΩ/20kΩ metal-film resistors trimmed to <0.01% absolute tolerance, eliminating external gain resistor drift contribution at G=10. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA128P | Lower quiescent current (±350µA), wider supply range (±2.25V to ±18V), but higher offset drift (0.3µV/°C) and lower CMR (100dB @ 60Hz). | Better suited for battery-powered portable instruments where power budget is tighter than precision requirement. | Select INA128P when operating from single 5V rail or requiring <1mW total power; retain INA101HP for lab-grade metrology where drift and CMR dominate. |
| AD620ANZ | Higher noise (21nV/√Hz), lower CMR (93dB @ 60Hz), but superior gain accuracy (±0.15% vs ±0.3% for INA101HP at G=100). | Preferred in cost-sensitive industrial PLC analog input modules where moderate noise floor is acceptable. | Choose AD620ANZ for high-volume production with tight BOM cost targets; use INA101HP where 13nV/√Hz noise and 106dB CMR are mandatory for sensor fusion algorithms. |
Compared with INA128P and AD620ANZ, the INA101HP offers the lowest input offset drift and highest CMR in its class - making it irreplaceable in applications demanding long-term DC stability and immunity to 50/60Hz interference without external filtering.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended gain-setting resistor (RG) value for stable operation of the INA101HP?
The INA101HP supports RG values from 40Ω (G=1001) to 40kΩ (G=2). For stable phase margin and minimal noise contribution, Burr-Brown recommends RG ≥ 200Ω - corresponding to G ≤ 201. At G=1000 (RG=40Ω), layout parasitics and wiring resistance become significant; use Kelvin connections to Pins 4/11 and minimize trace length. The INA101HP datasheet specifies gain error increases to ±0.3% at G=1000 due to RG tolerance and thermal EMF effects.
Can the INA101HP operate from a single +5V supply?
No, the INA101HP requires dual ±VCC supplies and is not rated for single-supply operation. Its input common-mode range is specified as ±10V with ±15V supplies, and absolute maximum supply is ±20V. Attempting single +5V operation violates the minimum ±5V dual-rail requirement and will result in clipping, reduced CMR, and potential damage to internal bias networks. For single-supply designs, consider TI's INA333 or ADI's AD8421 as functional alternatives with rail-to-rail output and extended common-mode range.
How does the Common pin function in the INA101HP, and what happens if it is not grounded?
The Common pin in the INA101HP defines the output reference voltage and must be connected to a low-impedance ground (≤0.1Ω series resistance) to maintain specified CMR >106dB. If left floating or connected through high impedance, common-mode rejection degrades sharply - dropping to <65dB at 60Hz per datasheet Table 1. This pin also serves as the output offset trim node; applying a voltage here sums directly with the output. In the INA101HP, improper Common pin routing is the most frequent cause of unexplained 60Hz pickup in precision sensor systems.
What is the purpose of the two Offset Adjust pins (6 and 7) on the INA101HP, and how should they be used?
Pins 6 and 7 on the INA101HP form a differential input for an external 100kΩ potentiometer to null input offset voltage - primarily needed at gains ≥100 where 25µV offset becomes significant. The wiper connects to Pin 6, one end to Pin 7, and the other to +VCC. Do not use this adjustment to null source or system offset, as it adds 0.3µV/°C drift per 100µV adjusted. For INA101HP applications requiring zero-drift performance, laser-trimming during manufacture renders external adjustment unnecessary in >90% of use cases.
Is the INA101HP RoHS compliant, and what is its moisture sensitivity level (MSL)?
Yes, the INA101HP is RoHS compliant (lead-free NiPdAu finish) and classified as MSL N/A for its PDIP package - meaning it is not moisture-sensitive and does not require dry-pack or baking prior to soldering. Per TI's packaging addendum, the INA101HP uses NIPDAU lead finish and has no reflow temperature restriction. This makes it suitable for wave soldering, hand soldering, and vapor-phase reflow without preconditioning, unlike its SOIC variant INA101KU which carries MSL Level-3 rating.
