Product details
Overview
INA155UA from Texas Instruments (formerly Burr-Brown) is a single-supply, rail-to-rail output CMOS instrumentation amplifier optimized for low-voltage sensor signal conditioning. It delivers fixed gains of 10 V/V or 50 V/V via pin strapping, ±200 µV max input offset voltage, 550 kHz bandwidth at G = 10, and operates from +2.7 V to +5.5 V across –55°C to +125°C - enabling high-accuracy bridge and thermocouple amplification in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the INA155UA datasheet, INA155UA pinout, INA155UA application, or INA155UA equivalent, key selection criteria include its rail-to-rail output swing within 10 mV of rails, ultra-low 0.2 pA typical input bias current, internal gain configuration (no external resistors required for G = 10/50), guaranteed operation over extended temperature, and SO-8 package compatibility with legacy PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The INA155UA implements a three-op-amp topology with complementary CMOS input stages enabling rail-to-rail common-mode input range and output swing. Its internal laser-trimmed resistor network sets precise gain ratios (10 or 50), while the reference pin (Ref) establishes output DC level and directly influences input common-mode range boundaries.
Gain selection is implemented via pins 1 and 8: open for G = 10 (±0.1% gain error), shorted for G = 50 (±0.25% gain error). The device uses class-AB output stage architecture to achieve <10 mV output swing from supply rails under 10 kΩ load, and features ESD-protected inputs rated for ±0.5 V beyond supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Options | Fixed 10 V/V or 50 V/V via pin strapping - eliminates external gain-setting resistor for standard configurations |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±200 µV max (–55°C to +125°C) - enables sub-millivolt-level DC-coupled sensor measurements without trimming |
| Input Bias Current | 0.2 pA typical - supports high-impedance sources like piezoelectric sensors and pH electrodes without loading error |
| Bandwidth (G = 10) | 550 kHz - sufficient for driving 500 kSPS SAR ADCs (e.g., ADS7818) with minimal settling delay |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swing within 5–10 mV of V+ and V– rails (RL ≥ 10 kΩ) - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply 3.3 V or 5 V systems |
| Supply Range | +2.7 V to +5.5 V - compatible with Li-ion battery, USB-powered, and industrial 3.3 V/5 V rails |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, downhole, and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
INA155UA is housed in an SO-8 surface-mount package (JEDEC MS-012, TI drawing D), with thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pin numbering follows standard SOIC convention (counterclockwise from pin 1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (RG) | Gain select terminal | Connect to pin 8 for G = 50; leave open for G = 10 - determines internal feedback ratio without external components |
| 2 (VIN–) | Inverting input | Differential input node; requires low-impedance bias path (e.g., matched resistors) for optimal CMRR |
| 3 (VIN+) | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; same bias requirements as VIN– to maintain balance and minimize offset drift |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply | Ground or negative rail connection; must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 5 (Ref) | Output reference | Sets output DC level (e.g., VS/2); impedance ≤ 200 Ω required to preserve >92 dB CMRR at G = 10 |
| 6 (VOUT) | Amplified output | Single-ended output referenced to Ref; capable of driving 100 pF capacitive loads directly into ADC inputs |
| 7 (V+) | Positive supply | +2.7 V to +5.5 V supply; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling adjacent to pin |
| 8 (RG) | Gain select terminal | Paired with pin 1; shorting creates G = 50 path - trace impedance must be <20 Ω to avoid 0.2% gain shift |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed precision gain | Guaranteed ±0.1% gain error at G = 10 ensures accurate scaling of bridge outputs without calibration |
| Rail-to-rail output stage | Delivers full 0–5.49 V output swing on +5.5 V supply - preserves >99% of ADC input range in single-supply systems |
| Ultra-low input bias current | 0.2 pA typical enables use with >100 MΩ source impedances (e.g., RTD sense leads, electrophysiology electrodes) |
| Extended temperature qualification | Specified over –55°C to +125°C - supports deployment in unheated enclosures and engine compartments |
| Low-noise architecture | 40 nV/√Hz voltage noise density at 1 kHz - maintains SNR > 80 dB for 20-bit ADC interfacing at 10 kHz bandwidth |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA126PA | G = 5–10,000 via external RG; higher 250 µV max offset; 1.2 mA IQ vs 2.1 mA | Requires external gain resistor; better for variable-gain systems but less precise at fixed G = 10/50 | Select when programmable gain >50 or lower quiescent current is critical; not drop-in for pin-strapped INA155UA layouts |
| AD8221ARMZ | G = 10–1000 via RG; 25 µV max offset; 1.1 mA IQ; MSOP-8 only | Superior DC precision and lower noise, but requires external RG and lacks SO-8 option | Choose for highest accuracy (<1 µV/°C drift) in medical or test equipment; requires PCB redesign due to MSOP-8 and different pinout |
Compared with INA155UA, INA126PA offers wider gain flexibility at the cost of reduced DC accuracy and added component count, while AD8221ARMZ delivers superior offset performance but mandates layout changes and external gain configuration - making INA155UA optimal for cost-sensitive, fixed-gain industrial sensor nodes where SO-8 compatibility and simplicity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the INA155UA?
The INA155UA has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 7.5 V across V+ and V– terminals. However, its specified operating range is +2.7 V to +5.5 V. Operation above +5.5 V voids parametric guarantees and may degrade long-term reliability. For designs requiring >5.5 V rails, consider the INA155U/UA's absolute maximum rating as a safety margin only - not a functional specification. Always refer to the latest TI datasheet SBOS114 for derating curves.
Can the INA155UA be used with dual supplies?
Yes, the INA155UA supports dual-supply operation (e.g., ±2.5 V) as well as single-supply configurations. When using dual supplies, the Ref pin should be tied to ground or a mid-supply reference to set output common-mode level. Input common-mode range extends to within 0.3 V of either rail, and rail-to-rail output swing remains functional. The device's internal architecture does not require V– to be at ground potential - enabling flexible biasing in bipolar signal chains.
How do I configure the INA155UA for G = 50?
To configure the INA155UA for G = 50, connect pin 1 (RG) directly to pin 8 (RG) using a low-impedance trace (<20 Ω). Do not use a resistor - a direct metal connection is required. This shorts the internal gain-setting node, selecting the 50 V/V ratio. Confirm continuity with a multimeter before power-up. Note that gain error increases to ±0.25% (vs ±0.1% at G = 10), and CMRR degrades slightly - verify performance in your specific layout using the test conditions in SBOS114 Section 6.3.
Is the INA155UA RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the INA155UA is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Per TI's Package Option Addendum (Feb 2020), it carries "Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br)" eco-plan status with NIPDAU (nickel-palladium-gold) lead finish and JEDEC Level-2 moisture sensitivity rating. The device marking "INA155U A" appears on the top surface, and full compliance documentation (including substance declarations and test reports) is available via TI's Quality & Environmental Information portal using orderable part number INA155UA.
What is the recommended decoupling for the INA155UA?
TI recommends a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible to both V+ (pin 7) and V– (pin 4), with short, low-inductance traces to the ground plane. For noisy supply environments, add a 10 µF tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitor in parallel near the board edge. Avoid shared vias between decoupling caps and other ICs. The Ref pin (pin 5) also requires a low-impedance path - if driven by a divider, use ≤200 Ω total Thevenin resistance or buffer with an op amp to prevent CMRR degradation.
