Hi,
I'm using INAEVM-MSOP8 to test INA333 with below configuration. V+=3.3V, V- = 0V. REF=0.3V(not to GND shown in the picture), IN- to GND is 1.65V(add a 1.65V reference from IN- to GND), RG=536ohm, which sets GAIN=187.
when 2mV is added to IN+ to IN-, the output waveform is
when 10mV is applied to IN+ to IN-, the output waveform is
We are sure the power supply, the REF pin is very stable.
So why is there output ripple(about 190mV)?
Hi Howard,
Two issues may result your problem.
1. One is the input bias current return path, which may be missing.
2. Your Vref is too low for the input voltage.
Since your gain is 187.57, the 1mV delta at input of INA333 will generate 187.57mV swing at output. With Vref=0.3V and Vin+ - Vin- = 1mV, the output swing is shown in the image below. With 2mV delta at input, your output is going to swing below ground, which is one problem.
with 10mV delta across the input of INA333, your output swing will be 1.8757V. Even Vref is configured at mid rail of 3.3V, your output is going to swing below ground. You may have to use +5V as the single supply rail or reduce the input delta signal or reduce the gain.

Hi Howard,
Please verify if you have the following circuit. If not, please provide me with the actual schematic.

Raymond，
the circuit is as below:
No load is connected to output, and 1.65V bias is connected from GND to IN-, the input signal 2mV is generated by a DC source, not a real pressure sensor.
Hi Howard,
What type of 2mV power supply are you using? Switcher or linear power source. I have a feeling that INA333 is measuring the power supply's noise and ripple at the same time + 2 mVdc. The CMMR is high for INA333, but if the test setup is connected as shown in the above configuration, 2mV and 10mV input's noise are not rejecting, because the ripple noise is not common.
In your second example with 190mV output ripple. If I assumed that the circuit is gaining 187X, the input ripple of 10mVdc will have at least 190mV/187 =1.013mV of ripple on top of DC, which is not unreasonable.
Please try the following circuit to rule out the issues. Change R2 to 2 and 10 Ohm, and observe the INA333's output.
In addition, I have several follow up questions.
1. What is the ripple frequency from the scope shot? It is hard to tell from the screen capture.
2. What is scope's BW? Can you limit the scope's BW to 20MHz, and measure it again.
3. I think that Kai's suggestion to place 100 to 470 Ohm in series with Vout --> to filter out the noise at the output when you perform the scope measurement.
Best,
Raymond
