Product details
Overview
INA106KP from Texas Instruments is a monolithic precision gain = 10 differential amplifier with 86dB minimum CMRR, 0.025% maximum gain error, and 0.5MHz typical bandwidth. It integrates laser-trimmed metal-film resistors and a precision op amp for high-accuracy signal conditioning in battery test systems and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the INA106KP datasheet, INA106KP pinout, INA106KP application, or INA106KP equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for precision analog signal acquisition circuits.
Technical Context
The INA106KP implements a fixed-gain difference amplifier topology using four on-chip laser-trimmed resistors (10kΩ/100kΩ pairs) matched for ratio accuracy and TCR tracking. Its internal architecture eliminates external resistor matching requirements while maintaining 86dB CMRR over temperature.
It operates from ±5V to ±18V dual supplies or 10V–36V single supply, with output referenced to the REF pin and input common-mode range of ±11V at ±15V supplies. The device features bipolar or CMOS process variants (CSO: SHE/RFB), each with distinct slew rate (2–20 V/µs) and short-circuit current (40–70 mA sourcing).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA105KP | Gain = 1 (unity-gain difference amplifier); same PDIP-8 package and pinout | Used where signal isolation without amplification is required; lower bandwidth (0.2MHz) | Select when system requires differential subtraction only, not gain scaling |
| INA118P | Programmable gain (1–1000) via external resistor; higher CMRR (110dB), lower offset (50µV) | Supports multi-range instrumentation but requires external gain-setting resistor and layout care | Choose when variable gain or superior DC specs justify added BOM and layout complexity |
Compared with INA106KP, INA105KP provides identical form factor and interface but no gain, making it suitable for pure differential subtraction; INA118P offers programmable gain and better DC performance but demands careful external resistor selection and layout to achieve its rated CMRR.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range supported by the INA106KP?
The INA106KP operates from ±5V to ±18V dual supply or 10V to 36V single supply. At ±15V, it delivers full-specified performance including 0.5MHz bandwidth and 86dB CMRR. Derated operation is permitted outside these ranges, but parameters such as output swing and CMRR degrade progressively beyond ±18V or below ±5V. The INA106KP datasheet specifies absolute maximum ratings up to ±18V, and recommended operating conditions align with this range.
Does the INA106KP require external resistors to set gain?
No, the INA106KP does not require external resistors to set gain. It integrates four laser-trimmed on-chip metal-film resistors (two 10kΩ and two 100kΩ) configured for fixed gain = 10. This monolithic architecture eliminates external resistor matching, temperature drift mismatch, and PCB layout sensitivity - all critical for maintaining 86dB CMRR and 0.025% gain accuracy. The INA106KP achieves this functionality in a single 8-pin PDIP package without any external gain-setting components.
How is the reference pin (REF) used in the INA106KP?
The REF pin (Pin 1) of the INA106KP serves as the output reference node and enables output level shifting. When grounded, the output is centered at 0V relative to the supply rails. Applying a voltage to REF sums directly with the amplified differential signal at the output: VOUT = 10(V+IN − V−IN) + VREF. To preserve CMRR, the source impedance driving REF must remain below 10Ω. The INA106KP datasheet confirms this behavior and shows practical offset-trim implementations using REF with series compensation resistors.
What is the maximum input common-mode voltage for the INA106KP?
The INA106KP supports an input common-mode voltage range of ±11V when operated at ±15V supplies. This is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VCM Operating common-mode input voltage." Absolute maximum input voltage is ±25V (10V beyond either supply rail), provided input current is limited to 1mA. Exceeding ±11V within the specified operating range may reduce CMRR and introduce nonlinearities, while exceeding ±25V risks permanent damage. These limits are confirmed across all chip site origins (CSO: SHE and CSO: RFB) in the INA106KP datasheet.
Is the INA106KP pin-compatible with other Texas Instruments differential amplifiers?
The INA106KP shares the same 8-pin PDIP footprint and pinout with the INA105KP (gain = 1), enabling direct substitution where unity-gain differential operation is acceptable. However, it is not pin-compatible with programmable-gain devices like the INA118P, which uses different internal routing and pin functions. The INA106KP datasheet explicitly lists Pin 8 as NC (no connection), while other family members may assign functionality there. Always verify pin function tables per device - the INA106KP's pin configuration is fixed and documented in Section 4 of its SBOS152C datasheet.
