3 Description

The PGA849 is a wide-bandwidth, low-noise

programmable gain instrumentation amplifier for

differential-to-single-ended conversion. The PGA849

is equipped with eight binary gain settings, from an

attenuating gain of 0.125V/V to a maximum of 16V/V,

using three digital gain selection pins.

The PGA849 architecture is optimized to drive

inputs of high-resolution, precision analog-to-digital

converters (ADCs) with sampling rates up to 1MSPS

without the need for an additional ADC driver. The

output-stage power supplies are decoupled from the

input stage to protect the ADC or downstream device

against overdrive damage.

The super-beta input transistors offer an impressively

low input bias current, which in turn provides a

very low input current noise density of 0.3pA/√Hz,

making the PGA849 a versatile choice for virtually

any sensor type. The low-noise current-feedback

front-end architecture offers exceptional gain flatness

even at high frequencies, making the PGA849 an

excellent high-impedance sensor readout device.

Integrated protection circuitry on the input pins

handles overvoltages of up to ±40V beyond the

power-supply voltages.
