Description:
Microchip Technology Inc. offers the single Zero-Drift
MCP6N16 instrumentation amplifier (INA) with Enable
pin (EN) and three minimum gain options (G
MIN
). The
internal offset correction gives high DC precision: it has
very low offset and offset drift, and negligible 1/f noise.
Two external resistors set the gain, minimizing gain
error and drift over temperature. The reference voltage
) shifts the output voltage (V
(V
REF
OUT
).
The MCP6N16 is designed for single-supply operation,
with rail-to-rail input (no common mode crossover
distortion) and output performance. The supply voltage
range (1.8V to 5.5V) is low enough to support many
portable applications. All devices are fully specified
from -40°C to +125°C. Each part has EMI filters at the
input pins, for good EMI rejection (EMIRR).
These parts have three minimum gain options (1, 10
and 100 V/V). This allows the user to optimize the input
offset voltage and input noise for different applications.

4.0APPLICATIONS
The MCP6N16 instrumentation amplifier (INA) is
manufactured using Microchip’s state of the art CMOS
process. Its low cost, low power and high speed make
it ideal for battery-powered applications.
4.1Basic Performance
4.1.1STANDARD CIRCUIT
Figure 4-1 shows the standard circuit configuration for
these INAs. When the inputs and output are in their
specified ranges, the output voltage is approximately:

The negative feedback loop includes GM2, RM4, RF and
. These blocks set the DC open-loop gain (AOL) and
R
G
the nominal differential gain (G
DM
):
EQUATION 4-3:
AOL is very high, so I4 is very small and I1+I2≈ 0. This
makes the differential inputs to G
and GM2 equal in

magnitude and opposite in polarity. Ideally, this gives:

4.1.5NOISE PERFORMANCE
As shown in Figure 2-73, the noise density is white at
low frequencies; the 1/f noise is negligible for almost all
applications. As a result, the time domain data in
Figures 2-77, 2-78 and 2-79 is well behaved.
4.2Overview of Zero-Drift Operation

zero-drift INAs. This diagram will be used to explain
how low voltage errors are reduced in this architecture
(much better V

The Main Amplifiers (GM1 and GM2) are designed for
high gain and bandwidth, with a differential topology.
The main input pairs (+ and - pins at the top left) are for
the higher frequency portion of the input signal. The
auxiliary input pair (+ and - pins at the bottom left of

The internal POR part starts the part in a known good
state, protecting against power supply brown-outs. The
Digital Control block outputs clocks and POR events.
Figure 4-5 shows the amplifier connections for the first
phase of the Chopping Clock and Figure 4-6 shows
them for the second phase. The slow voltage errors
alternate in polarity, making the average error small.
These INAs will show intermodulation distortion (IMD)
products when an AC signal is present.
The signal and clock can be decomposed into sine
wave tones (Fourier series components). These tones
interact with the zero-drift circuitry’s nonlinear response
to produce IMD tones at sum and difference
frequencies. Each of the square wave clock’s
harmonics has a series of IMD tones centered on it.
See Figures 2-75 and 2-76.

4.3.1.1Phase Reversal
The input devices are designed to not exhibit phase
inversion when the input pins exceed the supply
voltages. Figure 2-82 shows an input voltage
exceeding both supplies with no phase inversion.
The input devices also do not exhibit phase inversion
when the differential input voltage exceeds its limits;
see Figure 2-83.
4.3.1.2Input Voltage Limits
In order to prevent damage and/or improper operation
of these amplifiers, the circuit must limit the voltages at
the input pins (see Section 1.1 “Absolute Maximum
Ratings †”). This requirement is independent of the
current limits discussed later on.
The ESD protection on the inputs can be depicted as
shown in Figure 4-7. This structure was chosen to
protect the input transistors against many (but not all)
overvoltage conditions, and to minimize input bias

4.4.5SOURCE RESISTANCES
The input bias currents have two significant
components: switching glitches that dominate at room
temperature and below, and input ESD diode leakage
currents that dominate at +85°C and above.
Make the resistances seen by the inputs small and
equal. This minimizes the output offset caused by the
input bias currents.
The inputs should see a resistance on the order of 10Ω
to 1 kΩ at high frequencies (i.e., above 1 MHz). This
helps minimize the impact of switching glitches, which
are very fast, on overall performance. In some cases, it
may be necessary to add resistors in series with the
inputs to achieve this improvement in performance.
Small input resistances at the inputs may be needed for
high gains. Without them, parasitic capacitances might
cause positive feedback and instability.
4.4.6SOURCE CAPACITANCE
The capacitances seen by the inputs should be small.
Large input capacitances and source resistances,
together with high gain, can lead to positive feedback
and instability.

4.4.12SUPPLY BYPASS
With these INAs, the Power Supply pin (VDD for single
supply) should have a local bypass capacitor (i.e.,
0.01 µF to 0.1 µF) within 2 mm for good high-frequency
performance. Surface mount, multilayer ceramic
capacitors, or their equivalent, should be used.
These INAs require a bulk capacitor (i.e., 1.0 µF or
larger) within 100 mm to provide large, slow currents.
This bulk capacitor can be shared with other nearby
analog parts as long as crosstalk through the supplies
does not prove to be a problem.
4.4.13PCB DESIGN FOR DC PRECISION
In order to achieve DC precision on the order of ±1 µV,
many physical errors need to be minimized. The design
of the printed circuit board (PCB), the wiring, and the
thermal environment have a strong impact on the
precision achieved. A poor PCB design can easily be
more than 100 times worse than the MCP6N16 op
amps’ minimum and maximum specifications.
4.4.13.1PCB Layout
Any time two dissimilar metals are joined together, a
temperature dependent voltage appears across the
junction (the Seebeck or thermojunction effect). This
effect is used in thermocouples to measure
temperature. The following are examples of
thermojunctions on a PCB:
• Components (resistors, INAs, …) soldered to a
copper pad
• Wires mechanically attached to the PCB
• Jumpers
• Solder joints
•PCB vias
Typical thermojunctions have temperature to voltage
conversion coefficients of 1 to 100 µV/°C (sometimes
higher).
information on PCB layout techniques that minimize
thermojunction effects. It also discusses other effects,
such as crosstalk, impedances, mechanical stresses
and humidity.
4.4.13.2Crosstalk
DC crosstalk causes offsets that appear as a larger
input offset voltage. Common causes include:
• Common mode noise (remote sensors)
• Ground loops (current return paths)
• Power supply coupling
Interference from the mains (usually 50 Hz or 60 Hz),
and other AC sources, can also affect the DC
performance. Nonlinear distortion can convert these
signals to multiple tones, including a DC shift in voltage.

When the signal is sampled by an ADC, these AC
signals can also be aliased to DC, causing an apparent
shift in offset.
To reduce interference:
- Keep traces and wires as short as possible
- Use shielding
- Use ground plane (at least a star ground)
- Place the input signal source near to the DUT
- Use good PCB layout techniques
- Use a separate power supply filter (bypass
capacitors) for these zero-drift INAs
4.4.13.3Miscellaneous Effects
Keep the resistances seen by the input pins as small
and as near to equal as possible, to minimize bias
current-related offsets.
Make the (trace) capacitances seen by the input pins
small and equal. This is helpful in minimizing switching
glitch-induced offset voltages.
Bending a coax cable with a radius that is too small
causes a small voltage drop to appear on the center
conductor (the triboelectric effect). Make sure the
bending radius is large enough to keep the conductors
and insulation in full contact.
Mechanical stresses can make some capacitor types
(such as some ceramics) output small voltages. Use
more appropriate capacitor types in the signal path and
minimize mechanical stresses and vibration.
Humidity can cause electrochemical potential voltages
to appear in a circuit. Proper PCB cleaning helps, as
does the use of encapsulants.
