9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

There are two modes of operation for the circuit shown in Figure 63: current input and voltage input. This design requires R1 >> R2 >> R3. Given this relationship, the current input mode transfer function is given by Equation 2.

Equation 2. INA826 q_curr_mode_xfer_function_bos562.gif

where

  • G represents the gain of the instrumentation amplifier

The transfer function for the voltage input mode is shown by Equation 3.

Equation 3. INA826 q_voltage_input_mode_xfer_function_bos562.gif

R1 sets the input impedance of the voltage input mode. The minimum typical input impedance is 100 kΩ. This value is selected for R1 because increasing the R1 value also increases noise. The value of R3 must be extremely small compared to R1 and R2. 20 Ω for R3 is selected because that resistance value is much smaller than R1 and yields an input voltage of ±400 mV when operated in current mode (±20 mA).

Equation 4 can be used to calculate R2 given VD = ±400 mV, VIN = ±10 V, and R1 = 100 kΩ.

Equation 4. INA826 q_r2_vd_vin_r1_bos562.gif

The value obtained from Equation 4 is not a standard 0.1% value, so 4.12 kΩ is selected. R1 and R2 also use 0.1% tolerance resistors to minimize error.

The ideal gain of the instrumentation amplifier is calculated with Equation 5.

Equation 5. INA826 q_ideal_gain_bos562.gif

Using the INA826 gain equation, Equation 1, the gain-setting resistor value is calculated as shown by Equation 6.

Equation 6. INA826 q_gain_setting_value_bos562.gif

10.4 kΩ is a standard 0.1% resistor value that can be used in this design. Finally, the output RC filter components are selected to have a –3-dB cutoff frequency of 1 MHz.
