This region of operation is the least accurate for the
INA270
family.
To
achieve
common-mode voltage range, these devices use two
op amp front ends in parallel. One op amp front end
operates in the positive input common-mode voltage
range, and the other in the negative input region. For
this case, neither of these two internal amplifiers
dominates and overall loop gain is very low. Within
this region, V
approaches voltages close to linear
operation levels for Normal Case 2.
SHUTDOWN
The INA270 and INA271 do not provide a shutdown
pin; however, because they consume a quiescent
current less than 1mA, they can be powered by
either the output of logic gates or by transistor
switches to supply power. Driving the gate low shuts
down the INA270–INA271. Use a totem-pole output
buffer or gate that can provide sufficient drive along

should have a supply voltage of 3V or greater
because the INA270 and INA271 require a minimum
supply greater than 2.7V. In addition to eliminating
quiescent current, this gate also turns off the 10

bias current present at each of the inputs. Note that
the IN+ and IN– inputs are able to withstand full

RFI/EMI
Attention
recommended.
possible, use a printed circuit board (PCB) ground
plane with surface-mount components placed as
close to the device pins as possible. Small ceramic
capacitors placed directly across amplifier inputs can
reduce RFI/EMI sensitivity. PCB layout should locate
the amplifier as far away as possible from RFI
sources. Sources can include other components in
the same system as the amplifier itself, such as
inductors (particularly switched inductors handling a
lot of current and at high frequencies). RFI can
generally be identified as a variation in offset voltage
or dc signal levels with changes in the interfering RF
signal. If the amplifier cannot be located away from
sources of radiation, shielding may be needed.
Twisting wire input leads makes them more resistant
to RF fields. The difference in input pin location of
the INA270 and INA271 versus the
INA193–INA198
may provide different EMI performance.
