JAJSPU3 May 2024 INA791B
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The INA791x features adjustable gain with two external resistor network. The default gain is 20mV/A, and with added external adjustable gain resistor network, total gain (G) can range up to 400mV/A. Figure 6-7 shows two external resistors RFB1 and RFB2 configured for added external gain. Equation 2 can be used for calculating external adjustable gain and Equation 3 shows the total gain of the system with external adjustable gain. The REF pin and one end of resistor RFB2 is connected to external reference based on needed voltage at OUT pin as described in Adjusting the Output With the Reference Pin.
The FB pin in INA791x has associated bias current, which can add to error when large values of adjustable gain resistor, RFB1, is used. Alternatively, very low values of adjustable gain resistors load the output of the sense amplifier limiting the capability of the sense amplifier to get close to the supply rail. Keeping the sum of external resistors RFB1 and RFB2 between 10kΩ and 40kΩ is recommended when external adjustable gain is higher than 1. Table 6-1 shows recommended values of external gain resistors for the most common gains.
External Adjustable Gain | RFB1 | RFB2 | Total Gain (G) |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 0Ω (short) | Open | 20mV/A |
2 | 20kΩ | 20kΩ | 40mV/A |
4 | 30kΩ | 10kΩ | 80mV/A |
5 | 20kΩ | 5kΩ | 100mV/A |
