The INA116 is a complete monolithic FET-input instrumentation amplifier with extremely low input bias
current.
yield input bias currents of 3fA at 25°C, and only 25fA
at 85°C. Its 3-op amp topology allows gains to be set
from 1 to 1000 by connecting a single external resistor.
Guard pins adjacent to both input connections can be
used to drive circuit board and input cable guards to
maintain extremely low input bias current.
The INA116 is available in 16-pin plastic DIP and SOL-16
surface-mount packages, specified for the –40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

DISCHARGE SENSITIVITY
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
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.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows the connections required for basic operation
of the INA116. Applications with noisy or high impedance
power supplies may require decoupling capacitors close to
the supply pins as shown.
The output is referred to the output reference (Ref) terminal
which is normally grounded. This must be a low impedance
connection to assure good common-mode rejection. A resistance of 30Ω in series with this connection will cause a
typical device to degrade to approximately 72dB CMR at
G = 1.
The 50kΩ term in equation 1 is the sum of the two feedback
resistors of A
and A2. These on-chip metal film resistors are
1
laser trimmed to accurate absolute values. The accuracy and
temperature coefficient of these resistors are included in the
gain accuracy and drift specifications of the INA116.
The stability and temperature drift of R
’s contribution to gain accuracy and drift can be directly

G
also affect gain.
G
inferred from the gain equation (1). Low resistor values
required for high gain make wiring resistance important.
Sockets add to the wiring resistance that will contribute
additional gain error in gains of approximately 100 or
greater.
SETTING THE GAIN
Gain of the INA116 is set by connecting a single external
resistor, R
, as shown. The gain is—

trimming the output offset voltage. A voltage applied to the

INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN PATH
Input circuitry must provide an input bias current path for
proper operation. Figure 3 shows resistors R
and R2 to
1
provide an input current path. Without these resistors, the
inputs would eventually float to a potential that exceeds the
common-mode range of the INA116 and the input amplifiers
would saturate. Because of its exceedingly low input bias
current, improperly biased inputs may operate normally for
a period of time after power is first applied, or operate
intermittently.

CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT AND ASSEMBLY
Careful circuit board layout and assembly techniques are
required to achieve the exceptionally low input bias current
performance of the INA116. Guard terminals adjacent to
both inputs make it easy to properly guard the critical input
terminal layout. Since traces are not required to run between
device pins, this layout is easily accomplished, even with the
surface mount package. The guards should completely encircle their respective input connections—see Figure 4. Both
sides of the circuit board should be guarded, even if only one
side has an input terminal conductor. Route any timevarying signals away from the input terminals. Solder mask
should not cover the input and guard traces since this can
increase leakage.
Guard Top and
Bottom of Circuit Board.
FIGURE 4. Circuit Board Guard Layout.
After assembly, the circuit board should be cleaned. Commercial solvents should be chosen according to the soldering
method and flux used. Solvents should be cleaned and
replaced often. Solvent cleaning should be followed by a deionized water rinse and 85°C bake out.
Sockets can be used, but select and evaluate them carefully
for best results. Use caution when installing the INA116 in
a socket. Careless handling can contaminate the plastic near
the input pins, dramatically increasing leakage current.
A proven low leakage current assembly method is to bend
the input pins outward so they do not contact the circuit
board. Input connections are made in air and soldered
directly to the input pin. This technique is often not practical
or production-worthy. It is, however, a useful technique for
evaluation and testing and provides a benchmark with which
to compare other wiring techniques. The circuit board guarding techniques discussed normally reduce leakage to acceptable levels.
A solid mechanical assembly is required for good results.
Nearby plastic parts can be especially troublesome since a
static charge can develop and the slightest motion or vibration will couple charge to the inputs. Place a Faraday shield
around the whole amplifier and input connection assembly
to eliminate stray fields.

Some applications must make high impedance input connections to external sensors or input connectors. To assure low
leakage, the input should be guarded all the way to the signal
source—see Figure 5. Coaxial cable can be used with the
shield driven by the guard. A separate connection is required
to provide a ground reference at the signal source. Triaxial
cable may reduce noise pickup and provides the ground
reference at the source. Drive the inner shield at guard

potential and ground the outer shield. Two separate guarded
lines are required if both the inverting and non-inverting
inputs are brought to the source.
The guard drive output current is limited to approximately
+2mA/–50µA. For slow input signals the internal guard
output can directly drive a cable shield. With fast input
signals, however, the guard may not provide sufficient
output current to rapidly charge the cable capacitance. An op
amp buffer may be required as shown in Figure 6.
