SBOS469H April 2009 – October 2023 INA199
PRODUCTION DATA
As with any difference amplifier, the INA199 series common-mode rejection ratio is affected by any impedance present at the REF input. This concern is not a problem when the REF pin is connected directly to most references or power supplies. When using resistive dividers from the power supply or a reference voltage, the REF pin must be buffered by an operational amplifier.
In systems where the INA199 output can be sensed differentially, such as by a differential input analog-to-digital converter (ADC) or by using two separate ADC inputs, the effects of external impedance on the REF input can be cancelled. Figure 7-4 depicts a method of taking the output from the INA199 by using the REF pin as a reference.
