8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure

This section provides basic calculations to lay out the instrumentation amplifier with respect to the given design

requirements.

One of the key considerations in resistive-bridge sensors is the common-mode voltage, VCM. If the bridge

is balanced (no pressure, thus no voltage change), VCM(zero) is half of the bridge excitation (VEXT). In this

example VCM (zero) is 2.5 V. For the maximum pressure of 12 psi, the bridge common-mode voltage, VCM(MAX), is

calculated by:

VCMMAX = VDIFF2 + VCMzero

(5)

where

VDIFF=SMAX × VEXT × PMAX = 2.5 mVV× psi × 5 V × 12 psi = 150 mV

(6)

Thus, the maximum common-mode voltage applied results in:

VCMMAX =150 mV2+ 2.5 V=2.575 V

(7)

Similarly, the minimum common-mode voltage can be calculated as,

VCMMIN =−150 mV2+ 2.5 V=2.425 V

(8)

The next step is to calculate the gain required for the given maximum sensor output voltage span, VDIFF, in

respect to the required VOUT, which is the full-scale range of the ADC.

The following equation calculates the gain value using the maximum input voltage and the required output

voltage:

G= VOUT

VDIFFMAX = 3.0 V150 mV=20 V/V

(9)

Considering the INA351 is a selectable gain INA with gain options of 10, 20, 30, 50, the INA351ABS with GS tied

high enables G = 20 maintaining the maximum output signal swing for the ADC.

Next, let us make sure that the INA351 can operate within this range checking the Input Common-Mode Voltage

vs Output Voltage curves in the Typical Characteristics section. The relevant figure is also in this section for

convenience. Looking at Figure 8-5, we can confirm that a output signal swing of 3 V is supported for the input

signal swing between 2.425 V and 2.575 V, thus making sure of the linear operation.
