SBOS945B November 2020 – April 2021 INA849
PRODUCTION DATA
The INA849 dissipates approximately 200 mW of power under quiescent conditions at a ±15-V supply voltage. The internal resistor network and output load drive causes an additional power dissipation that depends on the input signal. The small silicon area of the INA849 causes the internal circuitry to experience temperature gradients that might adversely affect the electrical performance.
Precision parameters, such as offset voltage, linearity, common-mode rejection ratio, and total harmonic distortion, can be impacted as a result of these thermal effects in the silicon. The thermal gradient particularly affects the performance of low-frequency input signals with higher gains (> 10) and large output voltage variation. As shown in the measurement Figure 9-5, the thermal effect can be minimized by lowering the supply voltage, if the application permits.
