DESCRIPTION
The INA128 and INA129 are low power, general
purpose instrumentation amplifiers offering excellent
accuracy. The versatile 3-op amp design and small size
make them ideal for a wide range of applications.
Current-feedback input circuitry provides wide
bandwidth even at high gain (200kHz at G = 100).
A single external resistor sets any gain from 1 to 10,000.
The INA128 provides an industry-standard gain
equation; the INA129 gain equation is compatible with
the AD620.
The INA128/INA129 is laser trimmed for very low offset
voltage (50µV), drift (0.5µV/°C) and high
common-mode rejection (120dB at G 100). It
operates with power supplies as low as ±2.25V, and
quiescent current is only 700µA—ideal for battery-
operated systems. Internal input protection can
withstand up to ±40V without damage.
The INA128/INA129 is available in 8-pin plastic DIP and
SO-8 surface-mount packages, specified for the –40°C
to +85°C temperature range. The INA128 is also
available in a dual configuration, the INA2128.

(1) Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage.
Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods
may degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions
beyond those specified is not implied.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by
ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all
integrated circuits be handled with appropriate
precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and
installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance
degradation to complete device failure. Precision
integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage
because very small parametric changes could cause the
device not to meet its published specifications.
