8.2.2.4 Externally-Configured Mode: OPA and IA

It is possible to use the precision of the operational amplifier (OPA) and instrumentation amplifier (IA) independently from each other by configuring the digital control pins (M1 high). In this mode, the IA output current is routed to IAOUT and the copy of the OPA output current is routed to IMON, as shown in Figure 37.

This mode allows external configuration of the analog signal routing and feedback loop.

The current output IA has high input impedance, low offset voltage and drift, and very high common-mode rejection ratio. An external resistor (RIA) can be used to convert the output current of the IA (IIA) to an output voltage. The gain is given by Equation 5:

Equation 5. XTR305 q_ia_bos336.gif

The OPA provides low drift and high voltage output swing that can be used like a common operational amplifier by connecting a feedback network around it. In this mode, the copy of the output current is available at the IMON pin (it includes the current into the feedback network). It provides an output current limit for protection, which can be set between two ranges by M2. The error flag indicates an overcurrent condition, as well as indicating driving the output into the supply rails.

Alternatively, the feedback can be closed through the IMON pin to create a precise voltage-to-current converter.
