8.2 Typical Application

Figure 32 shows the basic connections required for operation of the INA317 device. Good layout practice mandates the use of bypass capacitors placed close to the device pins as shown.

The output of the INA317 device is referred to the output reference (REF) pin, which is normally grounded. This connection must be low-impedance to ensure good common-mode rejection. Although 15 Ω or less of stray resistance is tolerated while maintaining specified CMRR, small stray resistances of tens of ohms in series with the REF pin causes noticeable degradation in CMRR.
