INA163
SBOS177B – NOVEMBER 2000 – REVISED NOVEMBER 2004
Low-Noise, Low-Distortion
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
● LOW NOISE: 1nV/√Hz at 1kHz
The INA163 is a very low-noise, low-distortion, mon-
olithic instrumentation amplifier. Its current-feedback
circuitry achieves very wide bandwidth and excellent
dynamic response over a wide range of gain. It is ideal
for low-level audio signals such as balanced low-
impedance microphones. Many industrial, instrumen-
tation, and medical applications also benefit from its
low noise and wide bandwidth.
● LOW THD+N: 0.002% at 1kHz, G = 100
● WIDE BANDWIDTH: 800kHz at G = 100
● WIDE SUPPLY RANGE: ±4.5V to ±18V
● HIGH CMR: > 100dB
● GAIN SET WITH EXTERNAL RESISTOR
● SO-14 SURFACE-MOUNT PACKAGE
Unique distortion cancellation circuitry reduces distor-
tion to extremely low levels, even in high gain. The
INA163 provides near-theoretical noise performance
for 200Ω source impedance. Its differential input, low
noise, and low distortion provide superior performance
in professional microphone amplifier applications.
APPLICATIONS
● PROFESSIONAL MICROPHONE PREAMPS
● MOVING-COIL TRANSDUCER AMPLIFIERS
● DIFFERENTIAL RECEIVERS
● BRIDGE TRANSDUCER AMPLIFIERS
The INA163’s wide supply voltage, excellent output
voltage swing, and high output current drive allow its
use in high-level audio stages as well.
The INA163 is available in a space-saving SO-14
surface-mount package, specified for operation over
the –40°C to +85°C temperature range.
