The LM363 is a monolithic true instrumentation amplifier. It
requires no external parts for fixed gains of 10, 100 and
1000. High precision is attained by on-chip trimming of offset voltage and gain. A super-beta bipolar input stage gives
very low input bias current and voltage noise, extremely low
offset voltage drift, and high common-mode rejection ratio.
A two-stage amplifier design yields an open loop gain of
10,000,000 and a gain bandwidth product of 30 MHz, yet
remains stable for all closed loop gains. The LM363 operates with supply voltages from
g
5V tog18V with only
1.5 mA current drain.
The LM363’s low voltage noise, low offset voltage and offset voltage drift make it ideal for amplifying low-level, lowimpedance transducers. At the same time, its low bias current and high input impedance (both common-mode and
differential) provide excellent performance at high impedance levels. These features, along with its ultra-high common-mode rejection, allow the LM363 to be used in the
most demanding instrumentation amplifier applications, replacing expensive hybrid, module or multi-chip designs. Because the LM363 is internally trimmed, precision external
resistors and their associated errors are eliminated.
The 16-pin dual-in-line package provides pin-strappable
gains of 10, 100 or 1000. Its twin differential shield drivers
eliminate bandwidth loss due to cable capacitance. Compensation pins allow overcompensation to reduce bandwidth and output noise, or to provide greater stability with
capacitive loads. Separate output force, sense and reference pins permit gains between 10 and 10,000 to be programmed using external resistors.
On the 8-pin metal can package, gain is internally set at 10,
100 or 500 but may be increased with external resistors.
The shield driver and offset adjust pins are omitted on the
8-pin versions.
