Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set the gain on the INA118U?
Gain is set by a single external resistor (RG) connected between pins 1 and 8. The formula is G = 1 + (50kΩ / RG). For example, to achieve a gain of 100, use RG = 505Ω. No resistor (open pins) gives unity gain (G=1), and a 5.05Ω resistor gives G=10,000.
Which applications is the INA118U best suited for?
The INA118U excels in high-accuracy differential signal measurement: bridge sensor amplification (strain gauges, load cells, pressure transducers), medical instrumentation (ECG front-ends), industrial process control, and battery-powered portable data acquisition due to its low 350µA quiescent current and wide supply range.
What are the pin-compatible or drop-in alternatives to INA118U?
Pin-compatible alternatives include the INA128U and INA129U (also Texas Instruments, SOIC-8, with higher bandwidth) and the AD8221ARZ from Analog Devices. The INA128U offers lower noise (8nV/√Hz vs 9nV/√Hz) and wider bandwidth (1.3MHz), making it suitable for faster signal chains on the same footprint.
Does the INA118U support single-supply operation?
Yes. While rated for ±1.35V to ±18V dual-supply, it operates on a single supply as low as 2.7V (e.g., 0V and +2.7V). Input common-mode range must be kept within supply rails minus typical headroom (~1.2V), so designers should verify input signal levels when using single-supply configurations.
Is the INA118U RoHS compliant, and what is the package marking?
Yes, the INA118U is RoHS compliant and lead-free. It is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package. The 'U' suffix denotes the SOIC-8 package variant. Texas Instruments also offers the INA118P in a through-hole DIP-8 package if PCB space allows.
