INA149: Clarification of common mode range when using single +12V supply

Part Number: INA149


Tool/software:

Figure 3 of the data sheet for INA149 shows common mode range for various + & - supply voltages.  I will use a single supply at 12V instead.  Does that mean 
I still get the same + common mode voltage support as is shown for +/-12V?  I need to handle a max common mode voltage of 41.5V in my circuit.  Thank you.

  • Hey John,

    Thank you for asking your question on E2E! The common mode range at single 12V supply should be in line with the +/-6V section, however, care must be taken to ensure your amplifier inputs are in an acceptable common-mode range. Where you set your input values and REF value will dictate this.

    Here is a TINA Simulation file that can take the supplies, REF, CM voltage, and differential input voltage, and ensure that your valid common mode range is retained.

    There are instructions in the file, but as long as the input common-mode voltage on both inputs of the left-hand (real) amplifier aligns with the right hand (ideal) amplifier, the INA149 should be in a satisfactory linear operating range.

    Best,
