DESCRIPTION
The INA2132 is a dual low power, unity-gain differ-
ence amplifier offering excellent value at very low
cost. Each channel consists of a precision op amp with
a laser-trimmed precision resistor network, providing
accurate gain and high common-mode rejection. Ex-
cellent TCR tracking of the resistors maintains gain
accuracy and common-mode rejection over tempera-
ture. The internal op amp’s common-mode range
extends to the negative supply—ideal for single-sup-
ply applications.
The difference amplifier is the foundation of many
commonly used circuits. The INA2132 provides this
circuit function without using an expensive precision
resistor network. The INA2132 is available in the
SO-14 surface-mount package and is specified for
operation over the extended industrial temperature
range, –40°C to +85°C.
A single version of this product with similar specifi-
cations is also available. See the INA132 data sheet
for details.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with ap-
propriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and
installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Figure 1 shows the basic connections required for operation
of the INA2132. Power supply bypass capacitors should be
connected close to the device pins.
The differential input signal is connected to pins 2 and 3 (or
pins 6 and 5) as shown. The source impedances connected to
the inputs must be nearly equal to assure good common-
mode rejection. An 8 mismatch in source impedance will
degrade the common-mode rejection of a typical device to
approximately 80dB. Gain accuracy will also be slightly
affected. If the source has a known impedance mismatch, an
additional resistor in series with one input can be used to
preserve good common-mode rejection.
Do not interchange pins 3 and 14 (or pins 5 and 8) or pins
2 and 12 (or pins 6 and 10), even though nominal resistor
values are equal. These resistors are laser-trimmed for pre-
cise resistor ratios to achieve accurate gain and highest
CMRR. Interchanging these pins may not provide specified
performance. As shown in Figure 1, sense line should be
connected as close to the load as possible.
In the case where V
REF
is grounded, the equation simplifies to:
2 • (V–) < VCM < 2 • ((V+) – 1)
For more information, see the typical performance curve titled
“Input Common-Mode Voltage Range vs Output Voltage.”
OPERATING VOLTAGE
The INA2132 operates from single (+2.7V to +36V) or dual
(±1.35V to ±18V) supplies with excellent performance.
Specifications are production tested with +5V and ±15V
supplies. Most behavior remains unchanged throughout the
full operating voltage range. Parameters which vary signifi-
cantly with operating voltage are shown in the Typical
Performance Curves.
The INA2132 can accurately measure differential signals
that are beyond the power supply rails. Linear common-
mode range extends to twice the negative power supply
voltage and nearly twice the positive power supply voltage.
Output phase reversal does not occur when the inputs to the
internal operational amplifier are overloaded to either rail.
See typical performance curve, “Common-Mode Range vs
Output Voltage.”
OFFSET VOLTAGE TRIM
The INA2132 is laser-trimmed for low offset voltage and
drift. Most applications require no external offset adjust-
ment. Figure 2 shows an optional circuit for trimming the
output offset voltage. The output is referred to the output
reference terminal (pin 14 or pin 8), which is normally
grounded. A voltage applied to the Ref terminal will be
summed with the output signal. This can be used to null
offset voltage. The source impedance of a signal applied to
the Ref terminal should be less than 8 to maintain good
common-mode rejection. To assure low impedance at the
Ref terminal, the trim voltage can be buffered with an op
amp, such as the OPA277.
FIGURE 1. Basic Power Supply and Signal Connections.
FIGURE 2. Offset Adjustment.
To ensure valid operation of the differential amplifier, please
note the following points:
1) VOUT = V3 – V2 + VREF
2) VOUT must be within the specified linear range. For
example, with ±15V supplies and a 100k load, the
output will be defined by:
(V–) + 0.15V < VOUT < (V+) – 0.8V
3) Input common-mode range at the nodes of the op amp
must be V– VCM (V+) – 1. To ensure that the inputs
to the differential amp (+In and –In) meet this criteria,
limit the common-mode voltage inputs to:
2 • (V–) – VREF < VCM < 2 • ((V+) – 1) – VREF

CAPACITIVE LOAD DRIVE CAPABILITY
The INA2132 can drive large capacitive loads, even at low
supplies. It is stable with a 10nF load. Refer to the “Small-
Signal Step Response” and “Settling Time vs Load Capaci-
tance” typical performance curves.
CHANNEL CROSSTALK
The two channels of the INA2132 are completely indepen-
dent, including all bias circuitry. At dc and low frequency,
there is virtually no signal coupling between channels.
Crosstalk increases with frequency and is dependent on
source impedance and signal characteristics. See the typical
performance curve “Channel Separation vs Frequency” for
more information.
Most crosstalk is produced by capacitive coupling of signals
from one channel to the input section of the other channel.
To minimize coupling, separate the input traces as far as
practical from any signals associated with the opposite
channel. A grounded guard trace surrounding the inputs
helps reduce stray coupling between channels. Run the
differential inputs of each channel parallel to each other or
directly adjacent on the top and bottom sides of a circuit
board. Stray coupling then produces a common-mode signal
which is rejected by the INA2132’s input.
