Product details
Overview
INA106U/2K5 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic precision differential amplifier with fixed gain = 10, built using laser-trimmed on-chip metal film resistors and a high-accuracy bipolar op amp. It delivers 86dB minimum CMRR, 0.025% maximum gain error, and 0.5MHz bandwidth for high-fidelity signal conditioning in battery test systems and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the INA106U/2K5 datasheet, INA106U/2K5 pinout, INA106U/2K5 application, or INA106U/2K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed CMRR over temperature, low 200μV max offset voltage, ±5V to ±18V dual-supply operation, and SOIC-8 packaging compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The INA106U/2K5 integrates four precisely matched thin-film resistors (10kΩ/100kΩ) with a high-performance op amp to implement a fully trimmed difference amplifier topology. Its internal resistor TCR tracking ensures stable gain accuracy and CMRR across –40°C to +85°C ambient.
It operates in a single functional mode with fixed G = 10 configuration; no external gain-setting components are required. Input common-mode range extends to ±11V at ±15V supplies, and output swing reaches ±12V into 10kΩ load, supporting wide dynamic range measurement applications.
Key Specifications

| Supply Range | ±5 V to ±18 V - compatible with standard industrial dual-rail power domains |
| Input Impedance | 10 kΩ differential, 110 kΩ common-mode - minimizes loading on high-impedance sources |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA105U | Gain = 1 (unity-gain difference amplifier); lower CMRR (80dB min); same SOIC-8 package | Used where signal conditioning requires no gain scaling but higher input impedance (200kΩ CM) | Select when system gain is applied elsewhere and common-mode rejection >80dB suffices |
| INA118U | Instrumentation amplifier (INA) with gain set by external resistor; 110dB min CMRR; 1.2MHz BW | Requires external gain resistor and offers programmable gain (1–1000), better noise performance, and higher precision | Choose for variable gain, superior CMRR, or lower noise; not pin-compatible with INA106U/2K5 |
Compared with INA105U, the INA106U/2K5 provides 6dB higher CMRR and fixed G=10 scaling ideal for standardized sensor interfaces; versus INA118U, it trades programmability and noise for lower cost, simpler layout, and guaranteed gain accuracy without external component tolerance effects.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the INA106U/2K5?
The INA106U/2K5 has an absolute maximum supply voltage of ±18V (36V total), with recommended operation from ±5V to ±18V. Exceeding ±18V risks permanent damage. At ±15V nominal supply, the device delivers full specified performance including 0.5MHz bandwidth and 86dB CMRR. The INA106U/2K5 datasheet specifies derated performance outside the ±5V to ±18V range.
Does the INA106U/2K5 require external resistors to set gain?
No, the INA106U/2K5 does not require external resistors to set gain. It integrates four laser-trimmed thin-film resistors (10kΩ and 100kΩ pairs) to achieve a precise, factory-set gain of exactly 10 V/V. This eliminates external component tolerance errors, layout sensitivity, and thermal drift mismatches-key advantages over discrete op-amp + resistor solutions. The INA106U/2K5 is optimized for plug-and-play differential amplification.
Can the INA106U/2K5 operate from a single supply?
Yes, the INA106U/2K5 supports single-supply operation with V– grounded and V+ ranging from 10V to 36V. Input common-mode range extends to 0V to VS – 3V, and output swings from ~1.5V to VS – 1.5V into 10kΩ. For optimal CMRR and linearity, ensure balanced source impedances on +IN and –IN, and bias the REF pin appropriately. The INA106U/2K5 maintains its 0.025% gain error and 86dB CMRR under validated single-supply conditions.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the INA106U/2K5?
The SENSE pin (Pin 5) on the INA106U/2K5 connects internally to a 100kΩ resistor at the inverting input node, enabling precise summing of external reference or feedback signals into the differential path. It allows offset trimming, level shifting, or closed-loop gain stabilization without degrading CMRR-provided the source impedance driving SENSE remains below 10Ω. This feature distinguishes the INA106U/2K5 from basic difference amplifiers and supports advanced configurations like precision summing or buffered reference injection.
How does the INA106U/2K5 handle input overvoltage conditions?
The INA106U/2K5 incorporates internal protection diodes and clamp structures that allow input voltages up to ±25V (10V beyond either supply rail), provided input current is limited to ≤1mA. This robustness protects against transient surges in industrial sensor interfaces and battery test equipment. However, sustained overvoltage beyond absolute maximum ratings (±18V supply, ±25V inputs) may cause irreversible damage. The INA106U/2K5 datasheet specifies these limits in Section 5.1 and recommends series current-limiting resistors for field-deployed applications.
