INA156
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows the basic connections required for operation
of the INA156. Applications with noisy or high impedance
power supplies may require decoupling capacitors close to
the device pins, as shown.
The output is referred to the output reference terminal, Ref,
which is normally set to V
S
/2. This must be a low-imped-
ance connection to ensure good common-mode rejection.
In addition, for the G = 50 configuration, the connection
between pins 1 and 8 must be low-impedance. A connection
impedance of 20Ω can cause a 0.2% shift in gain error.
OPERATING VOLTAGE
The INA156 is fully specified and guaranteed over the supply
range +2.7V to +5.5V, with key parameters guaranteed over
the temperature range of –55°C to +125°C. Parameters that
vary significantly with operating voltages, load conditions or
temperature are shown in the Typical Performance Curves.
The INA156 can be operated from either single or dual
power supplies. By adjusting the voltage applied to the
reference terminal, the input common-mode voltage range
and the output range can be adjusted within the bounds
shown in the Typical Performance Curves. Figure 2 shows
a bridge amplifier circuit operated from a single +5V power
supply. The bridge provides a relatively small differential
voltage on top of an input common-mode voltage near 2.5V.

NOTES: (1) V
REF
should be adjusted for the desired output level,
keeping in mind that the value of V
REF
affects the common-mode
input range. See Typical Performance Curves. (2) For best
performance, the common-mode input voltage should be kept away
from the transition range of (V+) – 1.8V to (V+) – 0.8V.
