DESCRIPTION
The LT®1789-1/LT1789-10 are micropower, precision
instrumentation amplifi ers that are optimized for single
supply operation from 2.2V to 36V. The quiescent current
is 95μA max, the inputs common mode to ground and the
output swings within 110mV of ground. The gain is set
with a single external resistor for a gain range of 1 to 1000
for the LT1789-1 and 10 to 1000 for the LT1789-10.
The high accuracy of the LT1789-1 (40ppm maximum nonlinearity and 0.25% max gain error) is unmatched by other
micropower instrumentation amplifi ers. The LT1789-10
maximizes both the input common mode range and dynamic
output range when an amplifi cation of 10 or greater is required,
allowing precise signal processing where other instrumentation amplifi ers fail to operate. The LT1789-1/LT1789-10 are
laser trimmed for very low input offset voltage, low input
offset voltage drift, high CMRR and high PSRR. The output
can handle capacitive loads up to 400pF (LT1789-1), 1000pF
(LT1789-10) in any gain confi guration while the inputs are
ESD protected up to 10kV (human body).
The LT1789-1/LT1789-10 are offered in the 8-pin SO
package, requiring signifi cantly less PC board area than
discrete multi op amp and resistor designs.

Note 3: This parameter is not 100% tested.
Note 4: The LT1789C-1/ LT1789C-10 is guaranteed to meet specifi ed
performance from 0°C to 70°C and is designed, characterized and
expected to meet these extended temperature limits, but is not tested at
–40°C and 85°C. The LT1789I-1/ LT1789I-10 is guaranteed to meet the
extended temperature limits.
Note 5: Hysteresis in offset voltage is created by package stress that
differs depending on whether the IC was previously at a higher or lower
temperature. Offset voltage hysteresis is always measured at 25°C, but
the IC is cycled to 85°C I-grade (or 70°C C-grade) or –40°C I-grade
(0°C C-grade) before successive measurement. 60% of the parts will
pass the typical limit on the data sheet.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LT1789-1/LT1789-10
Setting the Gain
The gain of the LT1789-1 and LT1789-10 is set by the
value of resistor R
, applied across pins 1 and 8. For the
G
LT1789-1, the gain G will be:
G = 1+ 200k/R
G
and RG can be calculated from the desired gain by
= 200k/(G – 1)
R
G
For the LT1789-10, the gain G will be
G =10 • (1 + 200k/R
and R
R
can be calculated from the desired gain by
G
= 200k/(0.1 • G – 1)
G
For the lowest achievable gain, R
)
G
may be set to infi nity
G
by leaving Pins 1 and 8 open.
Input and Output Offset Voltage
The offset voltage of the LT1789-1/LT1789-10 has two
components: the output offset and the input offset. The
total offset voltage referred to the input (RTI) is found by
dividing the output offset by the programmed gain (G) and
adding it to the input offset. At high gains the input offset
voltage dominates, whereas at low gains the output offset
voltage dominates. The total offset voltage is:
Total input offset voltage (RTI)
= input offset + (output offset/G)
Total output offset voltage (RTO)
= (input offset • G) + output offset
Reference Terminal
The output voltage of the LT1789-1/LT1789-10 (Pin 6) is
referenced to the voltage on the reference terminal (Pin
5). Resistance in series with the REF pin must be minimized for best common mode rejection. For example, a
22Ω resistance from the REF pin to ground will not only
increase the gain error by 0.02% but will lower the CMRR
to 80dB.
Output Offset Trimming
The LT1789-1/LT1789-10 is laser trimmed for low offset
voltage so that no external offset trimming is required for
most applications. In the event that the offset needs to be
adjusted, the circuit in Figure 2 is an example of an optional
offset adjust circuit. The op amp buffer provides a low
impedance to the REF pin where resistance must be kept
to a minimum for best CMRR and lowest gain error.

Input Bias Current Return Path
The low input bias current of the LT1789-1/LT1789-10
(19nA) and the high input impedance (1.6GΩ) allow the
use of high impedance sources without introducing signifi cant offset voltage errors, even when the full common
mode range is required. However, a path must be provided
for the input bias currents of both inputs when a purely
differential signal is being amplifi ed. Without this path the
inputs will fl oat high and exceed the input common mode
range of the LT1789-1/LT1789-10, resulting in a saturated
input stage. Figure 3 shows three examples of an input bias
current path. The fi rst example is of a purely differential
signal source with a 10kΩ input current path to ground.
Since the impedance of the signal source is low, only one
resistor is needed. Two matching resistors are needed for
higher impedance signal sources as shown in the second
example. Balancing the input impedance improves both
common mode rejection and DC offset. The need for input
resistors is eliminated if a center tap is present as shown
in the third example.
Output Voltage vs Input Common Mode Voltage
All instrumentation amplifi ers have limiting factors that
can cause an output to be invalid (the output is not equal
to the input differential voltage multiplied by the gain)
even though the output appears to be operating in a linear
region. Limiting factors such as input voltage range and
output swing can be easily measured, however, there are
also internal nodes that can limit. These internal nodes
cannot be measured externally and can lead to erroneous
output readings.
To ensure a valid output for a given input common mode
voltage and input differential voltage, the following four
limiting factors must be taken into consideration (refer to
the block diagram):
1) The input voltage ranges of the input amplifi ers A1
and A2.
2) The output swings of the input amplifi ers A1 and A2
(internal nodes).

3) The input voltage range of the output amplifi er A3
(internal node).
4) The output swing of the output amplifi er A3.
These limits can be determined using the relationships
below.
1) The input voltage range limits can be found in the
electrical tables.
2) The output voltages of the input amplifi ers A1 and A2
can be found by the following formulas:
V
V
Where V
input common mode voltage.
The typical output swing limits for A1 and A2 can be found
in the Output Swing vs Load Current typical performance
curve, using R1 + R2 as the load resistance.
This limitation usually becomes dominant when gain is
taken in the input stage and the common mode input
voltage is close to either supply rail.
The LT1789-10 is less susceptible to this limiting factor
because the gain is taken in the output stage.
3) The voltage on the inputs to the output amplifi er A3
V
The input voltage range of A3 has the same input limits as
the LT1789-1. This limiting factor is more prevalent with
A1 = (VD/2)(G)(R1/R2) + VCM + 0.6V
OUT
A2 = (–VD/2)(G)(R1/R2) + VCM + 0.6V
OUT
is the input differential voltage and VCM is the
D
can be determined by the following formula:
A3 = (V
IN
OUT
A1 – V
)(R2/(R1 + R2))
REF
single supplies, where both the reference voltage and input
common mode voltage are near V
a concern with the LT1789-10 because the ratio of R1:R2
is 1:10 instead of 1:1.
4) The output voltage swing limits are also found in the
electrical tables.
The Output Voltage vs Input Common Mode Voltage typical
performance curves show the regions of operation for the
three supply voltages specifi ed.
Single Supply Operation
There are usually two types of input signals that need
to be processed; differential signals, like the output of a
bridge or single ended signals, such as the output from
a thermistor. Both signals require special consideration
when operating with a single supply.
When processing differential signals , REF (Pin 5) must
be brought above the negative supply (Pin 4) to allow the
output to process both the positive and negative going input
signal. The maximum output operating range is obtained
by setting the voltage on the REF pin to half supply. This
must be done with a low impedance source to minimize
CMRR and gain errors.
For single ended input signals, the REF pin can be at the
same potential as the negative supply provided the output
of the instrumentation amplifi er remains inside the specifi ed
operating range. This maximizes the output range, however
the smallest input signal that can be processed is limited
by the output swing to the negative supply.
