Product Overview
The INA128UA/2K5 is a precision, low-power instrumentation amplifier from Texas Instruments, featuring a classic 3-op-amp architecture with current-feedback inputs for wide bandwidth even at high gain. This versatile in-amp offers excellent accuracy with laser-trimmed offset voltage (50µV max), low drift (0.5µV/°C max), and high common-mode rejection ratio (120dB min at G ≥ 100). Gain is set from 1 to 10,000 with a single external resistor, using the industry-standard gain equation G = 1 + 50kΩ/R_G. Operating on only 700µA of quiescent current with supply voltages from ±2.25V to ±18V, the INA128 is ideal for battery-powered and portable instrumentation. It is available in an 8-pin SOIC package rated for -40°C to +125°C operation.
