Product details
Overview
INA129UA/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, 0.5 μV/°C maximum drift, 1.3 MHz bandwidth at G = 1, 120 dB minimum CMRR, and ±40 V input overvoltage protection - enabling robust front-end amplification in pressure transmitters and ECG systems.
For engineers reviewing the INA129UA/2K5G4 datasheet, INA129UA/2K5G4 pinout, INA129UA/2K5G4 application, or INA129UA/2K5G4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 49.4 kΩ gain-setting resistor equation (enabling drop-in replacement of legacy devices), SOIC-8 package compatibility, ±2.25V to ±18V dual-supply operation, and confirmed performance across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The INA129UA/2K5G4 implements a three-op-amp topology with current-feedback input stages, delivering stable bandwidth up to 33 kHz at G = 1000 (CSO: FRE) and 20 kHz (CSO: SHE). Its laser-trimmed thin-film resistors ensure precise gain accuracy and low drift, while integrated overvoltage protection circuitry on both inputs sustains ±40 V common-mode excursions without damage.
It operates in a single functional mode requiring only dual supplies > ±2.25 V, with quiescent current fixed at ±700 μA. The reference (REF) pin enables output level shifting, and gain is set externally via RG between pins 1 and 8 - using the equation G = 1 + 49.4 kΩ/RG - distinguishing it from the INA128's 50 kΩ-based equation.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the gain equation for INA129UA/2K5G4, and how does it differ from INA128?
The INA129UA/2K5G4 uses the gain equation G = 1 + 49.4 kΩ/RG, where RG is connected between pins 1 and 8. This differs from the INA128's G = 1 + 50 kΩ/RG equation. The 49.4 kΩ coefficient enables direct replacement of certain legacy instrumentation amplifiers without recalculating RG values - a key feature confirmed in TI's SBOS051G datasheet for INA129UA/2K5G4.
Does INA129UA/2K5G4 support single-supply operation?
Yes, INA129UA/2K5G4 supports single-supply operation from 4.5 V to 36 V, as specified in Section 6.3 of the datasheet. When operated from a single supply, the input common-mode range extends from (V–) + 2 V to (V+) – 2 V, and the REF pin must be biased appropriately to center the output swing - ensuring full functionality in battery-powered or isolated analog front-ends using INA129UA/2K5G4.
What is the maximum input overvoltage rating for INA129UA/2K5G4?
The INA129UA/2K5G4 has guaranteed ±40 V absolute maximum input voltage rating on both VIN+ and VIN– pins, independent of supply voltage. This is enabled by internal overvoltage protection circuitry documented in Figures 6-16 and 6-17 of the SBOS051G datasheet - allowing direct connection to industrial sensors without external protection components, a verified specification for INA129UA/2K5G4.
How does the chip site origin (CSO) affect INA129UA/2K5G4 performance?
INA129UA/2K5G4 is qualified across two chip site origins: FRE and SHE. CSO: FRE delivers tighter input bias current (0.15–0.6 nA) and better bandwidth at high gain (33 kHz at G = 1000), while CSO: SHE offers higher short-circuit current (+6/–15 mA) and wider output swing margins. Both meet all datasheet limits, and TI recommends designing for worst-case parameters across both flows - a requirement explicitly stated for INA129UA/2K5G4 in Section 6.
Is INA129UA/2K5G4 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, INA129UA/2K5G4 is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, as confirmed in Texas Instruments' official packaging information (SLAU273) and material content declarations. The SOIC-8 package (D) carries the "G4" suffix denoting green, lead-free, and halogen-free construction - meeting IPC/JEDEC J-STD-609A standards for environmentally compliant manufacturing using INA129UA/2K5G4.
