Product details
Overview
INA128UA/2K5G4 from Texas Instruments is a precision, low-power instrumentation amplifier designed for high-accuracy differential signal conditioning in noisy industrial and medical environments. It delivers 50 μV maximum offset voltage, 120 dB minimum CMRR at G = 100, 1.3 MHz bandwidth (G = 1), ±40 V input overvoltage protection, and operates from ±2.25 V to ±18 V dual supplies. It is widely deployed in pressure transmitters and ECG front-ends where dc accuracy and common-mode rejection are critical.
For engineers reviewing the INA128UA/2K5G4 datasheet, INA128UA/2K5G4 pinout, INA128UA/2K5G4 application, or INA128UA/2K5G4 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified gain-setting resistor compatibility (50 kΩ for G = 1 + 50 kΩ/RG), SOIC-8 package thermal performance (RθJA = 110 °C/W), CSO-specific bias current limits (0.7 nA max for FRE site), and confirmed operation across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The INA128UA/2K5G4 implements a three-op-amp architecture with current-feedback input stages, enabling stable 200 kHz bandwidth even at G = 100. Its laser-trimmed thin-film resistors ensure precise gain equation fidelity (G = 1 + 50 kΩ/RG) and low drift (0.5 μV/°C max).
Input overvoltage protection circuitry clamps ±40 V faults without damage, while the REF pin allows output level shifting relative to ground or system reference-critical for single-supply DAQ interfacing. The device is specified only for the FRE chip site origin, confirming 0.7 nA max input bias current and 6.9 nV/√Hz voltage noise at 1 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Offset voltage | 50 μV maximum (RTI) - ensures ≤0.5 mV error at G = 100 with ±10 mV input |
| CMRR | 120 dB minimum at G = 100 - rejects ≥1 V common-mode interference as <1 μV error |
| Bandwidth | 1.3 MHz at G = 1 - supports >650 kHz sine-wave acquisition before –3 dB roll-off |
| Input bias current | 0.7 nA maximum (CSO: FRE) - enables use with >1 MΩ sensor source impedances without significant offset shift |
| Supply range | ±2.25 V to ±18 V - operates from low-voltage battery rails up to industrial ±15 V systems |
| Quiescent current | 700 μA - draws <1.4 mW from ±5 V supplies, suitable for portable instrumentation |
| Input overvoltage | ±40 V - survives transient surges beyond supply rails without latch-up or parametric shift |
Pinout & Package
INA128UA/2K5G4 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.9 mm × 6 mm, optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal dissipation (RθJA = 110 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | RG (Gain resistor terminals) | Connect external resistor between pins 1 and 8 to set gain per G = 1 + 50 kΩ/RG; open-circuit yields G = 1 |
| 2 | VIN– | Inverting input - accepts differential signal referenced to VIN+; protected to ±40 V |
| 3 | VIN+ | Non-inverting input - high-impedance (10 GΩ || 2 pF) node for precision sensor connection |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail - must be connected to system ground or negative supply; decoupling required |
| 5 | REF | Output reference - sets DC level of VO; low-impedance connection essential for CMRR integrity |
| 6 | VO | Amplified output - swing limited to (V–) + 1.4 V / (V+) – 1.4 V (CSO: SHE) or (V–) + 0.15 V / (V+) – 0.15 V (CSO: FRE) |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply rail - supports wide-range dual or single-supply operation; requires local 0.1 μF bypass |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed gain network | Ensures ±0.025% gain error at G = 10 and ±0.15% at G = 1000 (CSO: FRE), eliminating calibration for mid-gain industrial sensors |
| Current-feedback input stage | Maintains 200 kHz bandwidth at G = 100 - enables accurate high-speed strain gauge or thermocouple measurements |
| Overvoltage-protected inputs | Withstands ±40 V faults indefinitely without parameter shift - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in field-connected transmitters |
| Low 0.1–10 Hz noise | 0.2 μVPP - provides superior resolution for slow-varying physiological signals like ECG ST-segment analysis |
| Single-supply compatible REF pin | Allows output offset adjustment to match ADC input range (e.g., 0–2.5 V), reducing need for level-shifting circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA128U | Same die, identical electrical specs, but in PDIP-8 package (9.81 mm × 9.43 mm); higher RθJA (46.1 °C/W) | Suitable for prototyping or through-hole production; not recommended for high-density PCBs or thermally constrained enclosures | Select INA128U only when manual soldering or socket-based validation is required; INA128UA/2K5G4 preferred for volume SMT manufacturing. |
| INA828IDR | Lower input bias current (0.6 nA max), lower noise (7 nV/√Hz), same quiescent current; uses same 50 kΩ gain equation | Better suited for ultra-high-impedance pH or ion-selective electrodes; slightly higher cost and newer qualification status | Choose INA828IDR when bias current <0.65 nA is mandatory; INA128UA/2K5G4 remains optimal for cost-sensitive, established designs requiring proven field reliability. |
Compared with INA128U and INA828IDR, the INA128UA/2K5G4 offers the best balance of legacy design support, SOIC-8 manufacturability, and verified performance across –40°C to +85°C - making it ideal for industrial analog input modules where long-term supply continuity and thermal robustness are prioritized over marginal noise or bias current improvements.

FAQ
What is the exact gain equation implemented by the INA128UA/2K5G4?
The INA128UA/2K5G4 implements the industry-standard gain equation G = 1 + 50 kΩ/RG, where RG is an external resistor connected between pins 1 and 8. This differs from the INA129's 49.4 kΩ coefficient and ensures drop-in compatibility with legacy designs specifying the INA128 family. Verified on all FRE-site production lots.
Does the INA128UA/2K5G4 support single-supply operation?
Yes - the INA128UA/2K5G4 operates from a single 4.5 V to 36 V supply. When used in single-supply mode, the REF pin must be biased to a stable mid-rail voltage (e.g., VS/2) to center the output swing; the device maintains full specifications including 120 dB CMRR and 1.3 MHz bandwidth under these conditions.
What is the maximum safe input voltage for the INA128UA/2K5G4 relative to its supply rails?
The INA128UA/2K5G4 inputs are protected to ±40 V regardless of supply voltage - meaning they withstand voltages from (V–) – 40 V to (V+) + 40 V without damage or parametric shift. This exceeds the absolute maximum supply rating (±18 V) and enables direct connection to unconditioned field wiring in industrial I/O modules.
How does chip site origin (CSO) affect the INA128UA/2K5G4's input bias current specification?
The INA128UA/2K5G4 is qualified exclusively for the FRE chip site origin, which guarantees a maximum input bias current of 0.7 nA (vs. 5 nA for SHE). This tighter spec is validated per TI's SBOS051G datasheet and directly impacts high-impedance sensor interfaces - for example, limiting error to <0.7 mV with a 1 MΩ source impedance at room temperature.
Can the INA128UA/2K5G4 drive a 10-kΩ load while maintaining full AC performance?
Yes - the INA128UA/2K5G4 is fully characterized into 10 kΩ loads per the datasheet (RL = 10 kΩ), delivering its rated 1.3 MHz bandwidth, 200 kHz at G = 100, and 0.2 μVPP low-frequency noise. Driving lower impedances (e.g., 2 kΩ) degrades bandwidth and increases distortion; consult Figure 6-22 for output swing vs. load current data.
