SBOSA78 March 2026 INA1H182-SEP
PRODUCTION DATA
The inputs of the INA1H182-SEP device are individually protected for voltages up to ±20V beyond the supply rails. For example, a condition of –20V on one input and +20V on the other input does not cause damage. Internal circuitry on each input provides low series impedance under normal signal conditions. If the input is overloaded, the protection circuitry limits the input current to a safe level.
Figure 6-8 Input Current Path During an Overvoltage ConditionDuring an input overvoltage condition, current flows through the input protection diodes into the power supplies, as shown in Figure 6-8. If the power supplies are unable to sink current, then Zener diode clamps (ZD1 and ZD2 in Figure 6-8) must be placed on the power supplies to provide a current pathway to ground. Figure 6-9 shows the input current for input voltages from –40V to +40V when the INA1H182-SEP is powered by ±9V supplies.
