PRODUCTION DATA
If the instrumentation amplifier is used to drive ac-coupled input signals, an input bias current path must be provided as described in Section 9.1.2, represented with resistors R1 and R2 in Figure 9-6. For the selection of the resistor value, a trade-off must be made between input current noise that increases at lower values and input voltage noise that increases at higher values.
Section 9.1.1 states that the reference pin must be connected to a low-impedance reference, as shown in the application circuit example of the Figure 9-6. The reference pin must be connected to a 2.5-V reference voltage established through a high-resistive divider. The OPA192 helps to buffer the reference voltage. The effective output impedance of the OPA192 is derived as follows. The dc open-loop impedance of the OPA192 amplifier is approximately 3 kΩ. In a buffer configuration (AV = 1), the output impedance of an amplifier degrades by the open-loop voltage gain. The OPA192 specifies a typical AOL of 126 dB, thereby resulting in an output impedance of ROUT = 1.5 mΩ.
