Product details
Overview
INA145UA from Texas Instruments (originally Burr-Brown) is a precision programmable-gain difference amplifier with unity-gain core, laser-trimmed on-chip resistor network, 86 dB CMRR at 25°C, ±0.2 mV input offset voltage (typ), and SO-8 package rated for –40°C to +85°C. It enables high-accuracy current shunt measurement in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the INA145UA datasheet, INA145UA pinout, INA145UA application, or INA145UA equivalent, key selection factors include its rail-to-rail common-mode input range beyond supply rails, external gain-setting via RG1/RG2 (G = 1–1000), low 570 µA quiescent current, and guaranteed performance under single-supply (4.5 V to 36 V) or dual-supply (±2.25 V to ±18 V) operation.
Technical Context
The INA145UA integrates two precision op amps (A1 and A2) with a monolithic 10 kΩ laser-trimmed feedback resistor between them. Its differential input stage (A1) provides wide common-mode range (e.g., –2.5 V to +5.5 V on +5 V supply), while the output buffer (A2) supports programmable gain via external RG1/RG2 resistors using G = 1 + RG2/RG1.
Internal resistor matching ensures 0.01% initial gain error and 86 dB CMRR; TCR tracking maintains stability over temperature. The device operates with no external compensation up to 1000 pF capacitive load and delivers 0.45 V/µs slew rate with 40 µs 0.1% settling time for 10 V step at G = 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Range | 1 V/V to 1000 V/V - set externally with two resistors; enables flexible signal scaling without redesigning front-end. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.2 mV (max, RTI) - ensures sub-millivolt accuracy in low-level differential sensing like shunt-based current monitoring. |
| CMRR | 86 dB (min, 25°C) - rejects noise and interference in noisy industrial environments where common-mode voltages exceed rails. |
| Supply Range | Single: +4.5 V to +36 V; Dual: ±2.25 V to ±18 V - supports wide-range industrial and battery-powered systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 570 µA (typ) - enables low-power operation in portable or always-on monitoring circuits. |
| Small-Signal Bandwidth | 500 kHz at G = 1 - sufficient for DC to medium-frequency motor control feedback and sensor conditioning. |
| Output Voltage Swing | (V–) + 0.15 V to (V+) – 1 V (RL = 100 kΩ) - provides usable dynamic range near supply rails for single-supply ADC interfacing. |
Pinout & Package
INA145UA is housed in an SO-8 (SOIC-D) surface-mount package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012 compliant, MSL Level-3, and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Ref) | Reference Input | DC bias point for output level shift; source impedance < 10 Ω required to preserve CMRR. |
| 2 (VIN–) | Inverting Input | Differential input node; matched impedance critical to maintain 86 dB CMRR. |
| 3 (VIN+) | Non-inverting Input | Differential input node; internal 1:1 divider with Ref sets A1's non-inverting input voltage. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative Supply | Ground or negative rail connection; bypass capacitor required nearby for stability. |
| 5 (VO1) | A1 Output / A2 Input Node | Accessible internal node for filtering or precision current sourcing; buffered by 10 kΩ trimmed resistor. |
| 6 (VO) | Main Output | Programmable-gain buffered output; drives 10 kΩ loads with rail-swing capability. |
| 7 (V+) | Positive Supply | Positive rail connection; bypass capacitor required nearby to suppress PSRR degradation. |
| 8 (RG) | Gain-Setting Terminal | Connects external RG2 resistor; RG1 connects between pins 1 and 8 to define G = 1 + RG2/RG1. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed resistor network | Enables 0.01% initial gain error and <10 ppm/°C drift - eliminates manual calibration in production test. |
| Rail-exceeding common-mode range | Supports inputs up to ±28 V at ±15 V supply - allows direct connection to high-side shunts without level-shifting. |
| Stable with 1000 pF capacitive load | Eliminates need for external isolation resistor when driving long traces or ADC input capacitance. |
| Low 570 µA quiescent current | Reduces thermal drift and power dissipation in thermally constrained enclosures or battery-operated designs. |
| Internal 10 kΩ trimmed resistor at VO1 | Provides precise gain-setting node with ±0.2% absolute tolerance - enables accurate external filter or current-source design. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar difference amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA146UA | Higher CMRR (90 dB min), lower offset drift (±0.1 µV/°C), same SO-8 package and pinout. | Better suited for precision metrology where temperature-induced gain/offset drift must be minimized. | Select INA146UA when long-term stability over wide temperature excursions is prioritized over cost. |
| AD629ARZ | Fixed gain (10 V/V), higher bandwidth (500 kHz), integrated laser-trimmed thin-film resistors, SO-8 package. | Optimized for high-speed high-common-mode applications (e.g., motor phase voltage sensing) without external gain components. | Choose AD629ARZ when fixed gain simplifies BOM and layout, and 200 V common-mode range is required. |
Compared with INA145UA, INA146UA offers superior drift performance but identical gain flexibility, while AD629ARZ trades programmability for higher speed and extended common-mode range-making each suitable for distinct system-level trade-offs in accuracy, speed, and design complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum common-mode voltage the INA145UA can handle with a ±15V supply?
The INA145UA supports ±28 V common-mode voltage when operated with ±15 V supplies. This specification is explicitly guaranteed in the datasheet under "HIGH COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE" and confirmed in Absolute Maximum Ratings, enabling direct high-side shunt measurement without attenuation networks. The INA145UA maintains full functionality and specified CMRR within this range.
Can the INA145UA be used with a single 5V supply, and what is its common-mode input range in that configuration?
Yes, the INA145UA operates from a single +5 V supply. Its common-mode input range is –2.5 V to +5.5 V when VREF = 2.5 V, as verified in the "SPECIFICATIONS: VS = +5V Single Supply" table. This rail-exceeding range allows measurement of signals below ground or above V+, such as automotive battery monitoring or industrial sensor interfaces with floating grounds.
How is gain set on the INA145UA, and what is the minimum external component count for G = 1?
Gain is set by two external resistors: G = 1 + RG2/RG1. For G = 1, RG1 is omitted and RG2 = 10 kΩ is connected from pin 8 (RG) to pin 7 (V+), per Figure 1 and "SETTING THE GAIN" section. This configuration uses only one external resistor and leverages the internal 10 kΩ trimmed resistor to achieve precise unity gain with bias current cancellation - minimizing BOM and layout area for basic difference amplification.
Does the INA145UA require external compensation capacitors for stability?
No, the INA145UA is internally compensated and remains stable with capacitive loads up to 1000 pF, as stated in the "Capacitive Load" specification and confirmed in typical performance curves. This eliminates the need for external compensation components in most applications, including direct driving of SAR ADC inputs or long PCB traces, reducing design complexity and board space.
What is the purpose of the VO1 pin (pin 5) on the INA145UA, and how is it typically used?
Pin 5 (VO1) is the output of internal op amp A1 and input to A2, accessible via a 10 kΩ laser-trimmed resistor. As described in "APPLICATION INFORMATION", it enables insertion of filters (e.g., low-pass RC), precision current sources, or offset trimming circuits without affecting the main signal path. Its ±1% absolute tolerance makes it suitable for high-accuracy auxiliary functions while preserving the integrity of the primary amplified output at pin 6 (VO).
