Product details
Overview
INA154U/2K5 from Texas Instruments (formerly Burr-Brown) is a high-speed, precision unity-gain difference amplifier in SO-8 package, featuring ±750µV max offset voltage, 3MHz bandwidth, 14V/µs slew rate, and operation from ±4V to ±18V supplies. It delivers accurate differential signal conditioning for industrial instrumentation and data acquisition systems where rail-to-rail input common-mode range and high CMRR are critical.
For engineers reviewing the INA154U/2K5 datasheet, INA154U/2K5 pinout, INA154U/2K5 application, or INA154U/2K5 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation guidance, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and parametric differences.
Technical Context
The INA154U/2K5 integrates a precision op amp with laser-trimmed 25kΩ thin-film resistor network on a single die, enabling exact G = 1 gain and high common-mode rejection (90dB typ at DC). Its input common-mode voltage range extends to 2•(V+) – 5V and 2•(V–) + 5V - beyond supply rails - supporting measurement of signals in high-side current sensing or floating sensor interfaces.
It uses internal matched resistors with excellent TCR tracking to maintain gain accuracy (±0.05% max) and CMRR over temperature (±2µV/°C offset drift). The output is referenced to the Ref pin (Pin 1), allowing flexible level-shifting and offset nulling without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Accuracy | ±0.05% max initial error - ensures <0.1% full-scale measurement error in precision differential sensing without calibration. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±750µV max - enables sub-millivolt-level differential signal resolution in bridge sensor or shunt-based current measurement. |
| Bandwidth | 3MHz (–3dB) - supports accurate amplification of fast transients up to ~500kHz with minimal phase lag in motor control feedback loops. |
| Slew Rate | 14V/µs - prevents distortion when amplifying high-slew-rate signals such as PWM edges or pulse-width modulated sensor outputs. |
| Supply Range | ±4V to ±18V - allows direct interfacing with legacy ±15V industrial PLC I/O modules and modern ±5V embedded systems. |
| CMRR | 90dB typical at DC - rejects >99.988% of common-mode noise in noisy factory environments with long sensor cables. |
| Quiescent Current | ±2.4mA - enables low-power operation in battery-backed data loggers while maintaining high-speed performance. |
Pinout & Package
INA154U/2K5 is housed in an SO-8 surface-mount package (TI drawing D, JEDEC MS-012), with ΘJA = 150°C/W and MSL Level-3 rating (260°C peak reflow, 168-hour floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Ref) | Output Reference | Output voltage is referenced to this pin; applying voltage here sums directly with output - used for offset nulling or level-shifting. |
| 2 (–In) | Inverting Input | Differential input node; source impedance must match Pin 3 within ≤5Ω to preserve specified CMRR. |
| 3 (+In) | Non-inverting Input | Differential input node; mismatched source impedances degrade CMRR by ≥10dB per 10Ω imbalance. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative Supply | Connects to negative rail; supports operation down to ±4V - enables use with low-voltage analog front-ends. |
| 5 (NC) | No Internal Connection | Unbonded pad; must remain unconnected - routing traces or vias here may cause parasitic coupling or ESD risk. |
| 6 (Output) | Differential Output | Single-ended output referenced to Pin 1; drives loads up to ±60mA with ±13V swing into 2kΩ. |
| 7 (V+) | Positive Supply | Connects to positive rail; supports wide dynamic range with headroom for overshoot in transient-rich environments. |
| 8 (Sense) | Output Sense Feedback | Internal connection to output stage; not user-accessible - used internally for stability compensation and load regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed resistor network | Enables precise G = 1 gain (±0.05%) and stable CMRR across –40°C to +85°C without external trimming components. |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Supports differential measurements with inputs extending to 2•(V+) – 5V and 2•(V–) + 5V - ideal for high-side current sensing above V+. |
| Low 3µs settling time (0.01%) | Ensures accurate digitization of fast step events in automated test equipment and high-speed data acquisition systems. |
| SO-8 package with MSL-3 rating | Enables standard SMT assembly in volume production while meeting IPC/JEDEC moisture sensitivity requirements. |
| ±80V absolute maximum input voltage | Allows safe operation with transient overvoltages in industrial fieldbus interfaces and motor drive current sense circuits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar difference amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA152U/2K5 | Lower bandwidth (1.2MHz), higher offset drift (±3µV/°C), same SO-8 package and pinout. | Better suited for DC-coupled, low-frequency precision applications like digital multimeters where speed is secondary. | Select INA152U/2K5 only if bandwidth <1.5MHz suffices and cost reduction is prioritized over settling time and AC performance. |
| AD8271ARMZ | G = 0.2 to 10 programmable gain, ±200µV max offset, 10MHz bandwidth, same SO-8 footprint but different pin mapping. | Requires PCB redesign due to non-pin-compatible pinout; preferred for systems needing variable gain without external switching. | Choose AD8271ARMZ when gain flexibility is required and layout revision is acceptable; avoid for drop-in replacement of INA154U/2K5. |
Compared with INA154U/2K5, INA152U/2K5 trades bandwidth and settling speed for lower cost in static-signal applications, while AD8271ARMZ offers programmable gain at the expense of pin compatibility and added complexity in reference and feedback routing.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for the INA154U/2K5?
The INA154U/2K5 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of ±80V, independent of supply voltage. This allows safe operation in high-common-mode applications such as motor phase current sensing or isolated sensor front-ends where transient overvoltages may occur. Exceeding this rating risks permanent damage to the internal resistor network or input stage, even if supply rails remain within operating range.
Can the INA154U/2K5 operate from a single supply?
No, the INA154U/2K5 requires dual supplies (±4V to ±18V) and does not support true single-supply operation. Its internal architecture relies on symmetrical biasing and rail-to-rail input capability relative to both V+ and V–. Attempting single-supply use will result in undefined output behavior, clipping, or failure to meet specified offset and CMRR performance.
What is the purpose of the Sense pin (Pin 8) on the INA154U/2K5?
Pin 8 (Sense) on the INA154U/2K5 is an internal output sense connection used for closed-loop stability compensation and load regulation - it is not intended for external connection. Leaving Pin 8 unconnected is mandatory; routing traces or connecting external circuitry to this pin may introduce instability, oscillation, or degraded transient response in the INA154U/2K5 output stage.
How does the Ref pin (Pin 1) affect the output of the INA154U/2K5?
The Ref pin (Pin 1) sets the output reference point: the output voltage equals (V+In – V–In) + VRef. Applying a voltage to Pin 1 directly offsets the output - for example, grounding Pin 1 yields output = V+In – V–In, while applying +2.5V yields output = (V+In – V–In) + 2.5V. Source impedance to Pin 1 must be <10Ω to preserve CMRR.
Is the INA154U/2K5 pin-compatible with the INA154UA/2K5?
Yes, the INA154U/2K5 and INA154UA/2K5 share identical SO-8 pinout, electrical specifications, and package dimensions. The "A" suffix denotes enhanced manufacturing screening (e.g., tighter initial offset distribution), but both variants use the same die, bond wire configuration, and pin mapping - making them fully interchangeable at the PCB level without layout changes.
