Texas Instruments INA849 Ultra-Low Noise Instrumentation Amplifier

Texas Instruments INA849 Ultra-Low Noise Instrumentation Amplifier is optimized for maximum accuracy in high-resolution systems and operation over a wide single-supply or dual-supply range. The device offers a significantly lower input bias current than competitors as a result of Super-beta input transistors. A state-of-the-art manufacturing process provides exceptionally low voltage noise, input offset voltage, and offset voltage drift.

Precisely matched integrated resistors provide a high, 92dB (G = 1) common-mode rejection across the full input common-mode range. A single external resistor sets any gain from 1 to 10,000. The current-feedback topology of the Texas Instruments INA849 provides wide bandwidth at higher gains for very-small, fast-moving signals. For example, the device provides 8MHz of bandwidth at G = 100 and 28MHz at a G = 1, with a fast 0.4µs settling time (0.01%) for directly driving high-resolution, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).
