INA146UA from Texas Instruments, in a SOIC-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Ref input Reference input for the output amplifier A2. Voltage applied here is summed with the output signal and sets the output zero reference; source impedance should be less than 10Ω to preserve CMR. Also serves as an offset trim node (±15mV RTI adjustment range with the suggested trim network).
2 VIN- input Inverting differential signal input. Connects through internal R1 = 100kΩ (with R2 = 10kΩ feedback) to the A1 difference-amplifier inverting node; input differential/common-mode voltages up to ±100V are supported (voltage divider ratio 10:1). Input impedance to this pin is approximately 91.7kΩ differential.
3 VIN+ input Non-inverting differential signal input. Connects through internal R3 = 100kΩ to A1's non-inverting node (with R4 = 10kΩ to Ref); supports ±100V signal inputs. Differential input impedance approximately 110kΩ; common-mode impedance approximately 55kΩ.
4 V- power_in Negative supply rail. Accepts dual supplies of ±2.25V to ±18V (operating down to ±1.35V) or single-supply operation with V+ up to 36V above V-. Bypass with 0.1µF close to the pin.
5 RG passive Inverting input of the output buffer amplifier A2 and gain-set node. External resistors RG1 (to ground) and RG2 (to VO) set the overall gain G = 0.1 × (1 + RG2/RG1); RG2 = 10kΩ with RG1 open gives unity buffer gain (overall G = 0.1V/V). Design for approximately 10kΩ parallel resistance for proper bias current cancellation.
6 VO output Output of the amplifier chain (A2 output). Delivers ±15mA short-circuit current, stable with up to 1000pF load capacitance. Output swing is (V-)+0.15V to (V+)-1V at RL=100kΩ (G=1).
7 V+ power_in Positive supply rail. Accepts dual supplies of ±2.25V to ±18V or single supply 4.5V to 36V referenced to V-. Quiescent current is typically ±570µA. Bypass with 0.1µF close to the pin.
8 VO1 output Output of the first-stage difference amplifier A1, taken before the internal 10kΩ series resistor (R5) that drives A2's non-inverting input. Available for applications such as filtering (e.g. capacitor at VO1 forms an active filter with R5) or precision current-source configurations.
