Product details
Overview
INA330AIDGST from Texas Instruments is a precision thermistor signal amplifier optimized for 10kΩ thermistor-based temperature control in optical networking TEC (thermoelectric cooler) systems. It implements a current-conveyor topology with single-precision-resistor excitation, delivers ±12.5µA output current, achieves 0.009°C temperature error over –40°C to +85°C, and operates from +2.7V to +5.5V supply.
For engineers reviewing the INA330AIDGST datasheet, INA330AIDGST pinout, INA330AIDGST application, or INA330AIDGST equivalent, key selection criteria include its thermistor excitation accuracy, low 1/f noise (500pAp-p, 0.01Hz–10Hz), rail-to-rail output swing (within 10mV of rails), and MSOP-10 package compatibility with high-density optical module layouts.
Technical Context
The INA330AIDGST integrates auto-zeroed voltage excitation buffers, a precision current conveyor (IO = I1 – I2), and a buffered voltage output stage. Its internal charge pumps enable voltage compliance beyond supply rails (±20mV negative, +100mV positive), supporting stable operation with external gain-setting resistor RG.
It uses internal 90kHz oscillator-driven auto-correction circuitry to suppress 1/f noise and offset drift, achieving ±0.2µV/°C input offset drift and ±40nA current offset variation over temperature - directly enabling sub-0.01°C set-point stability in closed-loop TEC control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.7V to +5.5V - supports single-supply operation in compact optical modules with 3.3V or 5V rails. |
| Output Current Range | ±12.5µA - sets minimum RG value (e.g., 200kΩ yields ±2.5V output swing) without saturation. |
| Temperature Error | 0.009°C over –40°C to +85°C - enables high-accuracy laser diode thermal stabilization without calibration. |
| 1/f Noise (0.01Hz–10Hz) | 500pAp-p - contributes only 0.0001°C peak-to-peak temperature uncertainty in PID loops. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±60µV max - auto-zeroed excitation buffers minimize thermistor measurement error at low ∆R. |
| Enable Pin Thresholds | Logic HIGH ≥1.6V, LOW ≤0.25V - compatible with standard CMOS logic for power-gated thermal control. |
| Bandwidth (–3dB) | 1kHz - sufficient for slow thermal dynamics while rejecting high-frequency EMI in optical enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
INA330AIDGST is housed in a 10-pin VSSOP (MSOP-10) package per JEDEC MO-187, with 0.5mm pitch, 3.05mm × 3.05mm body, and 1.1mm max height - optimized for space-constrained optical transceiver modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (I1) | Thermistor current sink | Connects to RTHERM (10kΩ thermistor); carries I1 proportional to thermistor resistance. |
| 2 (V+) | Positive supply | Primary power rail; pin 5 must be connected to V+ for proper internal biasing. |
| 3 (VO) | Voltage output | Buffered output proportional to (I1 – I2) × RG; swings within 10mV of V+ or GND. |
| 4 (IO) | Current output | Direct current conveyor output (IO = I1 – I2); connects to external RG for voltage conversion. |
| 5 (GND) | Ground reference | Must be tied to V+ per datasheet Figure 5; not functional ground - internal bias node. |
| 6 (Enable) | Shutdown control | CMOS-compatible input; LOW disables device, reducing quiescent current to 2–5µA. |
| 7 (I2) | Precision resistor current sink | Connects to RSET (10kΩ); carries I2 used as reference for thermistor current difference. |
| 8 (V2) | Excitation voltage buffer 2 | Provides stable 1V excitation to RSET; matched to V1 for common-mode rejection. |
| 9 (V1) | Excitation voltage buffer 1 | Provides stable 1V excitation to RTHERM; auto-zeroed to match V2 within ±30µV. |
| 10 (VEXCITE) | Excitation reference | Internal 1V reference node; not externally accessible - sets V1/V2 excitation level. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-precision-resistor topology | Eliminates need for two matched resistors in bridge circuits - reduces BOM cost and layout area by 30%. |
| Auto-zeroed excitation buffers | ±30µV offset match between V1 and V2 minimizes common-mode error in thermistor resistance ratio measurement. |
| Low 1/f noise architecture | 0.0001°C p-p noise contribution (0.01Hz–10Hz) ensures stable set-point in PID-controlled TEC loops. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Within 10mV of V+ or GND at 10kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range for analog feedback to TEC drivers. |
| Integrated enable function | Reduces supply current from 2.6mA to 2µA in shutdown - enables power cycling during optical module sleep modes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar thermistor signal amplification applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA326AIDGKR | Instrumentation amplifier requiring full Wheatstone bridge (3 precision resistors + thermistor); higher input offset (±100µV). | Used in legacy bridge-based designs; lacks integrated excitation buffers and current-conveyor output. | Select when reusing existing bridge sensor layouts or needing higher CMRR (>110dB) at DC. |
| AD8420ARMZ | Zero-drift instrumentation amplifier with 25µV max offset; no built-in thermistor excitation or current-conveyor topology. | Requires external excitation circuitry and precision resistor network; wider bandwidth (1.5MHz) but higher noise density. | Select for general-purpose precision differential measurement where thermistor excitation is handled separately. |
Compared with INA330AIDGST, INA326AIDGKR demands more external components and calibration effort, while AD8420ARMZ offers superior DC precision but requires added circuitry for thermistor biasing - making INA330AIDGST uniquely optimized for minimal-component, high-stability TEC control.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the INA330AIDGST in optical networking systems?
The INA330AIDGST serves as a dedicated thermistor signal amplifier for thermoelectric cooler (TEC) control loops. It converts resistance changes in a 10kΩ thermistor into a precise voltage output using a current-conveyor architecture. In optical networking, this enables stable laser diode temperature regulation - critical for maintaining wavelength accuracy and minimizing bit-error rates in SFP+, QSFP, and coherent modules. The INA330AIDGST achieves this with 0.009°C temperature error over –40°C to +85°C and ultra-low 1/f noise.
Why does the INA330AIDGST require pin 5 to be connected to V+?
Pin 5 on the INA330AIDGST is an internal bias node, not a ground terminal. The datasheet explicitly states it must be connected to V+ to ensure proper operation of internal charge pumps and auto-zero circuitry. Leaving pin 5 unconnected or grounding it disrupts internal voltage generation, causing output instability, increased offset error, and failure to achieve specified 0.009°C temperature accuracy. This requirement is unique to the INA330AIDGST's topology and differs from conventional op-amp grounding conventions.
Can the INA330AIDGST operate from a 3.3V supply, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, the INA330AIDGST supports supply voltages from +2.7V to +5.5V, including 3.3V operation. However, at 3.3V, the output voltage swing is reduced (within 10mV of rails → 0.01V to 3.29V), requiring adjustment of RG and VADJ to maintain desired loop gain and set-point range. Also, the 1V excitation buffers remain functional, but external filtering (e.g., CFILTER) may need recalibration to preserve 1kHz bandwidth and noise performance. TI confirms 3.3V use in Figure 6 notes, provided component values are scaled accordingly.
How does the INA330AIDGST achieve 0.009°C temperature error specification?
The 0.009°C error stems from the INA330AIDGST's 40nA maximum current offset variation over –40°C to +85°C, combined with a 10kΩ thermistor's typical –4.5%/°C coefficient. A 1°C thermistor temperature change produces ~4500nA current change; thus, 40nA offset variation translates to 40/4500 = 0.009°C set-point drift. This is verified in the "Sources of Errors" section (page 6) and confirmed by production distribution data showing ±40nA variation. The INA330AIDGST achieves this via auto-zeroed buffers and matched current mirrors - not through external calibration.
What is the role of the Enable pin (pin 6) in INA330AIDGST power management?
The Enable pin (pin 6) provides hardware-level shutdown control for the INA330AIDGST. Applying logic LOW (≤0.25V) disables the amplifier, reducing quiescent current from 2.6mA to 2–5µA - ideal for power-gating during optical module standby modes. Logic HIGH (≥1.6V) enables normal operation. The pin exhibits CMOS input characteristics (leakage <100nA) and must never be left floating. In always-on applications, pin 6 is typically tied to V+; its fast enable/disable times (75µs/100µs) support dynamic thermal control in burst-mode optical links.
