1. AD621BRZ-RL Substitution Conclusion
Direct substitution of the AD621BRZ-RL for the original INA118 is not straightforward and requires careful evaluation. Key differences are as follows: Its input offset voltage (50 µV) is 5 times higher than that of the INA118 (10 µV). This will likely introduce greater initial error and temperature drift when amplifying weak DC or low-frequency signals, compromising measurement accuracy. Its supply current (900 µA) is over 2.5 times the INA118's (350 µA), significantly increasing system power consumption and making it unsuitable for battery-powered applications. Its minimum operating voltage (4.6 V) is substantially higher than the INA118's 2.7 V, rendering it incompatible with designs requiring single-supply or low-voltage (e.g., 3.3V system) operation. While it offers lower input bias current (500 pA), higher output current (18 mA), and a higher slew rate (1.2 V/µs), these advantages generally do not offset the significant compromises in critical parameters: precision, power consumption, and voltage compatibility.
2. AD621ARZ-RL Substitution Conclusion
Direct substitution of the AD621ARZ-RL for the original INA118 is not viable and is not recommended. Beyond sharing the significant disadvantages of the AD621BRZ-RL regarding supply current (900 µA) and minimum operating voltage (4.6 V), its most critical limitation is an input offset voltage (75 µV) that is 7.5 times higher than the INA118's (10 µV). In precision measurement applications, this part would introduce unacceptable baseline error and temperature drift, severely degrading system DC accuracy and stability. Although its bandwidth and slew rate are comparable to or better than the original part, the excessively high offset voltage, combined with the power consumption and voltage compatibility issues, definitively disqualify it as a suitable substitute for the INA118.
