Precision instrumentation amplifier for bridge and sensor front-ends
The INA128U/2K5: Its 10 µV input offset voltage and 2 nA input bias current keep the error budget tight, so you don't lose the low-level signal in the amplifier's own DC drift. The 4V/µs slew rate and 1.3 MHz bandwidth suit multiplexed data-acquisition systems.
Operating from a single supply as low as 4.5 V or a dual supply up to ±18 V (36 V total span), the INA128U/2K5 fits into both 5 V single-rail systems and ±15 V industrial analog backplanes without a secondary regulator. Supply current is 700 µA typical, which is modest for a precision instrumentation amp — the part runs cool enough that the 8-SOIC package doesn't need a heatsink in normal ambient conditions.
Output drive and single-circuit simplicity
Surface-mount 8-SOIC footprint is standard — no fine-pitch surprises, and the 0.154-inch body width fits the usual SOIC-8 land pattern.
