APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT1920 is a low power precision instrumentation
amplifier that requires only one external resistor to accu-
rately set the gain anywhere from 1 to 1000. The output
can handle capacitive loads up to 1000pF in any gain
configuration and the inputs are protected against ESD
strikes up to 13kV (human body).
Input Protection
The LT1920 can safely handle up to ±20mA of input
current in an overload condition. Adding an external 5k
input resistor in series with each input allows DC input
fault voltages up to ±100V and improves the ESD immu-
nity to 8kV (contact) and 15kV (air discharge), which is the
IEC 1000-4-2 level 4 specification. If lower value input
resistors are needed, a clamp diode from the positive
supply to each input will maintain the IEC 1000-4-2
specification to level 4 for both air and contact discharge.
A 2N4393 drain/source to gate is a good low leakage diode
for use with 1k resistors, see Figure 4. The input resistors
should be carbon and not metal film or carbon film.
RFI Reduction
In many industrial and data acquisition applications,
instrumentation amplifiers are used to accurately amplify
small signals in the presence of large common mode
voltages or high levels of noise. Typically, the sources of
these very small signals (on the order of microvolts or
millivolts) are sensors that can be a significant distance
from the signal conditioning circuit. Although these sen-

sors may be connected to signal conditioning circuitry,
using shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cabling, the ca-
bling may act as antennae, conveying very high frequency
interference directly into the input stage of the LT1920.
The amplitude and frequency of the interference can have
an adverse effect on an instrumentation amplifier’s input
stage by causing an unwanted DC shift in the amplifier’s
input offset voltage. This well known effect is called RFI
rectification and is produced when out-of-band interfer-
ence is coupled (inductively, capacitively or via radiation)
and rectified by the instrumentation amplifier’s input tran-
sistors. These transistors act as high frequency signal
detectors, in the same way diodes were used as RF
envelope detectors in early radio designs. Regardless of
the type of interference or the method by which it is
coupled into the circuit, an out-of-band error signal ap-
pears in series with the instrumentation amplifier’s inputs.
