INA188: input bias current

$

0

Part Number:INA188

The INA188 data sheet (September, 2015) specifies maximum input bias current of 2.5 nA in Table 6.5.  But Figure 10 (below) shows a much larger magnitude.  Is this a typo in the figure axis?


VFC32: Frequency Capabilities

Part Number:VFC32

I am looking into using the VFC32KP IC to convert a frequency to an analog voltage signal, and I was wondering if this chip will be capable of converting frequencies that range from 0-50 Hz. By looking at the data sheet, I will need a C1 value of 3.3uF and C2 value of 100uF along with a R1 value of 40K to make this chip read frequencies in this range.

PGA281: Non-symmetric distortion performance

$

Part Number:PGA281

PGA281 or PGA280

The distortion performance I'm seeing using this part looks very non-symmetric and varies quite a bit part to part.  If I drive the inputs with a balanced signal I would expect the best performance, but instead the 2nd harmonic levels are as follows with a gain of 1 and a  5Vpp signal, no offset 10kHz sinewave input.

Balanced Input => 2nd harmonic at about -77dB, variation from 10 different parts is about -72dB to -85dB

Single-ended driving the positive input, negative input grounded => 2nd harmonic at about -72dB, variation from 10 different parts is about -70dB to -75dB

Single-ended driving the negative input, positive input grounded => 2nd harmonic at about -82dB, variation from 10 different parts is about -75dB to -90dB

So the performance seems to indicate that the part has the better performance if the input signals are mostly on the negative input.  Is this consistent with the parts design?

I couldn't find any distortion metrics on the part at all in the datasheet.  Is there any typical information available or an explanation for the widely varying performance from part to part?

LM231: conversion accuracy clarification

$

Part Number:LM231

Team,

My customer has the following question:

We are looking for insight on a parameter on the LM221, LM331 datasheet.

 

There is a parameter in the electrical characteristics that lists the conversion accuracy for the LM221 as 0.95 to 1.05 kHz/V

 

We're trying to piece together the overall accuracy of the device to see if we can avoid test selection of a motor speed loop.  If we were running the device between 1Hz and 700Hz, would the design be affected by a gain error of +/-5%?  

 

Regards,

Aaron

OPA2335: Current Source circuit offset error

Part Number:OPA2335

Hi,

I would like to ask you a question about an offset error of "Current Source Circuit" which is shown at LOG104 datasheet page7, Figure8.

This question is related with my previous post as below.

   https://e2e.ti.com/support/amplifiers/precision_amplifiers/f/14/t/571246

I have tried to do simulation of this circuit on TINA-TI.

And as a result, I have got an output offset error around 17uA at input current is 0A.

According to the datasheet (LOG104) Fig8, the input current range is from "10nA to 1mA" and output range is also the same as the input.

I think that the input range is limited from "17uA to 1mA" due to the offset vlaue is around 17uA.

So, could you tell me how to adjust the offset?

If I have any mistake or if you know better solution to get current source, please let me know.

Let me show my simulation circuit as below for your understanding easily.

Thank you for your support!

Best Regards,

INA333: Customer Return failure for TEXAS INSTRUMENT INA333AIDGKTG4

Part Number:INA333

Hello Texas-Instruments,.

I am SQE from PLEXUS MANUFACTURING.

  Recently, PLEXUS received customer complaint on a T-I part under P/N INA333AIDGKTG4. Amplifier passed functional testers @PLEXUS and HONEYWELL but failed at the end customer.

  Preliminary analysis on the defect part revealed abnormal reading. Thus, we would appreciate if Texas-Instruments can approve this case and part return (RMA) for further investigation. We are seeing value of 2.1K Ohms @Pin4 and Pin 7. Date code = 2013 10 and PO# = 3624596

 

Thank you...

OPA376: Preamplifier for geohone, single supply 2.5v reference, 1.25v common mode

$

Part Number:OPA376

Hi, 

I want to set up a geophone preamplifier with a 2.5v ref and 1.25c dc offset with 32 db gain. 

I have a ti-tina schematic using the REF2025 to set the V+ to 2.5v and 1.25v common-mode output. But i am having trouble achieving the desired transient response.

I do not believe I need any filtering on the preamplfiier. I am using the OPA to drive an FDA (ths4551) with a 2nd order MFB low pass filter.

Is this the correct amplifier and Reference IC for my applicaiton?

INA188: Status of DRJ package

Part Number:INA188

I've been excited about the INA188 since its announcement but my products don't have room for the SOIC package so it hasn't been designed in. The DRJ (4mm SON) package option has been statused as PREVIEW since the product was announced in 2015. Will it ever be available?

XTR115: Failing the field

$

Part Number:XTR115

We are using XTR115 in one of our product to output 4-20 mA current.
Recently, we have had some products returned from the field where the current loop output has failed and current is permanently wrong.
Our investigation revealed the following:
Loop Voltage (VLoop) = 24VDC, RL = 250 Ohm, Iin = varied from 0uA - 250 uA, Measured current (I Loop)= 33.125 mA
The current stays the same regardless of the load resistor and Iin value but current do vary when the loop voltage is changed. i.e. 19.187 mA @ 10 VDC, 32 mA @ 15 VDC,  33 mA @ 30 VDC
We also measured resistance between Pin 3 and Pin 4 of the XTR115 and found that the measured resistance (R2) is only 15 ohm instead of the 25 ohm as specified in the module block diagram (below) 
We believe due to the changes in R2 value, the XTR115 is not able to regulate the current on the loop?
What we cannot figure out is what has caused the change in R2 value?
What will happen (long term effect) if we short pin 3 and pin 4 of the XTR115?
Please see the circuit snippet below, our brief tests on in-house units have shown that when pin 3 and 4 are shorted together the current in the loop is then limited to 33 mA but when the short is removed the module recovers and starts to regulate the correct current on the loop. But failures from the field are not recovered and output incorrect current permanently.
 

Can you please look into this and advise what could cause permanent damage to R2 or is there anything else in the IC that is causing this behaviour, THANKS.

Hi,

We plan to use LMP91000EVM for electrochemical measurement. From its user manual, the evaluation board can be connected to SPIO4 Board. I think we need to send I2C commands to the device and then receive the detection results. Does anyone use LMP91000EVM with SPIO4? What is the procedure to make them working properly? Thanks.

Hi,

What is the difference between OPA277UA/2K5 and OPA277UA/2K5E4 ? From the data sheet, I could not find any difference. Kindly advise. 

I have referred the 'package option addendum' page.(Please visit the site to view this file)

XTR116: XTR116 - using external R1, R2

$

0

Part Number:XTR116

Hi!

I know it's odd, but will this circuit work as intended?  

I = Ii*(1 + R1/R2)?

The external R2 (shown) will be 25.5 ohm.  R1 (shown) will be between 1k and 10k ohm (tbd).

The internal R1 + R2  = 2.5k will be across the op-amp input terminals - is this a problem?  

The internal Rlim of course will not be in effect (I may put an external current limiting resistor in series with the emitter).

Thanks!

Also, for some reason the forum changes to Precision Data Converters when XTR115 or XTR116 are selected.

OPA1612: Characteristic degradation at 85C or higher

Part Number:OPA1612

Hi team,

My customer is interested in OPA1612 for their application but its operating temp range doesn't meets their requirement(it'll be considered  around Max 105C). Although I read through OPA1612 datasheet, I didn't expected the behavior of this device from 85C to 125C well.

What's the side effects when using this device in 85C or higher temperature range(less than 125C)? 

If some parameters would be degraded, could you tell me Which characteristics will be degraded?

Regards,
