Product Overview

The INA157 is a Texas Instruments precision difference amplifier for Signal_Chain circuits that require defined gain, common-mode rejection, and integrated resistor matching. In difference amplifier configuration, the device supports G = 1/2 or G = 2, with internal 12 kΩ and 6 kΩ matched resistors. The internal resistors have ±20% absolute tolerance, while gain accuracy is defined by ratio matching.

For G = 1/2 operation, the initial gain is 0.5 V/V, with ±0.01% typical gain error and ±1 ppm/°C typical gain drift. Offset performance is specified at ±100 µV typical initial offset, ±2 µV/°C typical drift, and 0.25 µV/month typical offset versus time. Noise is specified at 1.3 µVp-p from 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz and 26 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz.

The device is supplied in an SO-8 surface-mount / SOIC (D), 8-pin package with Ref, -In, +In, V-, Sense, Output, V+, and NC pins. Supply operation is rated at ±15 V with an operating supply range from ±4 V to ±18 V. For signal applied to the Ref terminal, a source impedance below 10 Ω is recommended to maintain good CMRR.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for INA157, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For analog and signal-chain sourcing, supply voltage, bandwidth, accuracy, noise level, package, temperature grade, input/output configuration and qualification requirements should be verified before approval.

FAQ

What gain configurations does the INA157 support?

The INA157 supports difference amplifier configurations with G = 1/2 or G = 2. In the G=1/2 configuration, the initial gain is specified as 0.5 V/V, using the device internal 12 kΩ and 6 kΩ matched resistor network.
