Features available to PGA modules include:
- Rail-to-rail input and output voltage within VDDA and VSSA range
- Programmable gain modes, including unity gain and other values from 2X - 64X
- Standalone gain mode using off-chip passive components
- Post-gain filtering using on-chip resistors and off-chip capacitor
- Differential input support
- Hardware-assisted chopping for offset reduction, which enables higher-precision measurements at low currents and allowing the use of smaller value shunt resistors for improved system efficiency.
- No PGA_INM pin connection is needed if using the internal connection to VSSA
- Support for Kelvin ground connections using PGA_INM pins
- The temperature stability is one of the key advantages of on-chip PGAs over discrete implementations as integrating the amplifier with all the gain-setting resistors enables slight and unified temperature drift.
