2. Pinout and Pin Functions (8-pin SOIC Package)
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function Description 1 V+ Positive Power Supply: Connect to the positive voltage source (typically +5V to +36V). 2 V- Negative Power Supply: Connect to the negative voltage source or ground (typically -5V to 0V). 3 Output Output Voltage: This pin provides the amplified output signal. It is the result of the differential input applied to the amplifier. 4 Ref Reference Voltage: This pin sets the reference voltage for the instrumentation amplifier. It determines the output voltage baseline. 5 A1+ Non-Inverting Input of Amplifier 1: This is the non-inverting input of the first amplifier in the INA132. 6 A1- Inverting Input of Amplifier 1: This is the inverting input of the first amplifier in the INA132. 7 A2+ Non-Inverting Input of Amplifier 2: This is the non-inverting input of the second amplifier in the INA132. 8 A2- Inverting Input of Amplifier 2: This is the inverting input of the second amplifier in the INA132.3. Detailed Explanation of Pin Functions:
V+ (Pin 1): This is the positive power supply input. The INA132 requires a dual power supply, so this pin is connected to the positive side of the voltage (such as +5V or +12V). V- (Pin 2): This is the negative power supply input, typically grounded or connected to a negative voltage source (e.g., -5V). Output (Pin 3): This is the output of the instrumentation amplifier, which provides the amplified signal from the differential inputs applied to the inputs A1+ and A1- (or A2+ and A2-). Ref (Pin 4): This pin controls the reference voltage. This is used to set the zero point or baseline for the output voltage. It adjusts the output voltage range and helps with single-supply operation. A1+ (Pin 5): This is the non-inverting input of the first amplifier inside the INA132. It accepts one side of the differential input signal. A1- (Pin 6): This is the inverting input of the first amplifier inside the INA132. It accepts the other side of the differential input signal. A2+ (Pin 7): This is the non-inverting input of the second amplifier inside the INA132. It is used in differential mode for the second part of the amplifier. A2- (Pin 8): This is the inverting input of the second amplifier inside the INA132. It completes the differential pair for the second amplifier stage.4.
