Many customers have asked how to add input filtering to the INA117. Since the INA117 is rated for ±200V input voltage (±500V without damage), it is commonly used in environments with very high input noise or with high-voltage input transients. This bulletin shows how to connect input filters, discusses the errors they can add, and shows how to eliminate the errors. Figure 1 shows the connection of a differential input filter. A pole is formed by C1 and the two external input resistors. f–3dB = 1/(4 • p • RI • C1). Differential input filtering is preferred because mismatches in filter components do not degrade CMR.
