The and AD8279 provide exceptional commonmode rejection ratio (8 db) and high bandwidth while amplifying input signals that are well beyond the supply rails. The on-chip resistors are laser trimmed for excellent gain accuracy and high CMRR. They also have extremely low gain drift vs. temperature. The common-mode range of the amplifier extends to almost triple the supply voltage (for G = ½), making the amplifer ideal for single-supply applications that require a high commonmode voltage range. The internal resistors and ESD circuitry at the inputs also provide overvoltage protection to the op amp. The and AD8279 can be used as difference amplifiers with G = ½ or G = 2. They can also be connected in a high precision, single-ended configuration for non inverting and inverting gains of ½, 2, +3, +2, +½, +, or +½. The and AD8279 provide an integrated precision solution that has a smaller size, lower cost, and better performance than a discrete alternative. The and AD8279 operate on single supplies (2. V to 3 V) or dual supplies (±2 V to ±8 V). The maximum quiescent supply current is 2 μa, which is ideal for battery-operated and portable systems. For unity-gain difference amplifiers with similar performance, refer to the AD827 and AD8277 data sheets. Rev. C Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

THEORY OF OPERATION CIRCUIT INFORMATION Each channel of the and AD8279 consists of a low power, low noise op amp and four laser-trimmed on-chip resistors. These resistors can be externally connected to make a variety of amplifier configurations, including difference, noninverting, and inverting configurations. Taking advantage of the integrated resistors of the and AD8279 provides the designer with several benefits over a discrete design, including smaller size, lower cost, and better ac and dc performance. DC Performance +VS 7 kω 2kΩ IN 2 SENSE kω 2kΩ +IN 3 REF VS Figure 8. Functional Block Diagram Much of the dc performance of op amp circuits depends on the accuracy of the surrounding resistors. Using superposition to analyze a typical difference amplifier circuit, as is shown in Figure 9, the output voltage is found to be V R2 R + V R + R2 R3 = VIN + IN 838- R R3 This equation demonstrates that the gain accuracy and commonmode rejection ratio of the and AD8279 is determined primarily by the matching of resistor ratios. Even a.% mismatch in one resistor degrades the CMRR to 9 db for a G = 2 difference amplifier. The difference amplifier output voltage equation can be reduced to = R V ( + VIN VIN ) R3 as long as the following ratio of the resistors is tightly matched: R2 R = R R3 The resistors on the and AD8279 are laser trimmed to match accurately. As a result, the and AD8279 provide superior performance over a discrete solution, enabling better CMRR, gain accuracy, and gain drift, even over a wide temperature range. AC Performance Component sizes and trace lengths are much smaller in an IC than on a PCB; therefore, the corresponding parasitic elements are also smaller. This results in better ac performance of the and AD8279. For example, the positive and negative input terminals of the and AD8279 op amps are intentionally not pinned out. By not connecting these nodes to the traces on the PCB, their capacitance remains low and balanced, resulting in improved loop stability and excellent common-mode rejection over frequency. DRIVING THE AND AD8279 Care should be taken to drive the and AD8279 with a low impedance source, for example, another amplifier. Source resistance of even a few kilohms (kω) can unbalance the resistor ratios and, therefore, significantly degrade the gain accuracy and common-mode rejection of the and AD8279. Because all configurations present several kilohms (kω) of input resistance, the and AD8279 do not require a high current drive from the source and are easy to drive. INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE The and AD8279 are able to measure input voltages beyond the supply rails. The internal resistors divide down the voltage before it reaches the internal op amp and provide protection to the op amp inputs. Figure 9 shows an example of how the voltage division works in a difference amplifier configuration. For the and AD8279 to measure correctly, the input voltages at the input nodes of the internal op amp must stay below. V of the positive supply rail and can exceed the negative supply rail by. V. Refer to the Power Supplies section for more details. R2 R + R2 (V IN+ ) V IN V IN+ R3 R R2 R2 R + R2 (V IN+ ) Figure 9. Voltage Division in the Difference Amplifier Configuration The and AD8279 have integrated ESD diodes at the inputs that provide overvoltage protection. This feature simplifies system design by eliminating the need for additional external protection circuitry and enables a more robust system. The voltages at any of the inputs of the parts can safely range from +VS V up to VS + V. For example, on ± V supplies, input voltages can go as high as ±3 V.

POWER SUPPLIES The and AD8279 operate extremely well over a very wide range of supply voltages. They can operate on a single supply as low as 2 V and as high as 3 V, under appropriate setup conditions. For best performance, the user should ensure that the internal op amp is biased correctly. The internal input terminals of the op amp must have sufficient voltage headroom to operate properly. Proper operation of the part requires at least. V between the positive supply rail and the op amp input terminals. This relationship is expressed in the following equation: R V REF < + V S. V R + R2 For example, when operating on a +VS= 2 V single supply and VREF = V, it can be seen from Figure that the op amp input terminals are biased at V, allowing more than the required. V headroom. However, if VREF = V under the same conditions, the input terminals of the op amp are biased at. V (G = ½). Now the op amp does not have the required. V headroom and cannot function. Therefore, the user must increase the supply voltage or decrease VREF to restore proper operation. The and AD8279 are typically specified at single and dual supplies, but they can be used with unbalanced supplies as well; for example, VS = V, +VS = +2 V. The difference between the two supplies must be kept below 3 V. The positive supply rail must be at least 2 V above the negative supply. R R + R2 (V REF ) R3 R R2 V REF R R + R2 (V REF ) Figure. Ensure Sufficient Voltage Headroom on the Internal Op Amp Inputs Use a stable dc voltage to power the and AD8279. Noise on the supply pins can adversely affect performance. Place a bypass capacitor of. μf between each supply pin and ground, as close as possible to each supply pin. Use a tantalum capacitor of μf between each supply and ground. It can be farther away from the supply pins and, typically, it can be shared by other precision integrated circuits. R 838- Rev. C Page 7 of 2
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION CONFIGURATIONS The and AD8279 can be configured in several ways (see Figure to Figure 7). These configurations have excellent gain accuracy and gain drift because they rely on the internal matched resistors. Note that Figure 3 shows the and AD8279 as difference amplifiers with a midsupply reference voltage at the noninverting input. This allows the and AD8279 to be used as a level shifter, which is appropriate in single-supply applications that are referenced to midsupply.

The reference must be driven with a low impedance source to maintain the internal resistor ratio. An example using the low power, low noise OP77 as a reference is shown in Figure 8. V INCORRECT REF DIFFERENTIAL PUT V CORRECT + OP77 REF Figure 8. Driving the Reference Pin The two difference amplifiers of the AD8279 can be configured to provide a differential output, as shown in Figure 9. This differential output configuration is suitable for various applications, such as strain gage excitation and single-ended-to-differential conversion. The differential output voltage has a gain twice that of a single AD8279 channel, as shown in the following equation: VDIFF_ = V+ V = 2 GAD8279 (VIN+ VIN ) If the AD8279 amplifiers are each configured for G = ½, the differential gain is ; if the AD8279 amplifiers are each configured for G = 2, the differential gain is.

An instrumentation amplifier provides high impedance inputs and delivers high common-mode rejection. Combining the with an Analog Devices, Inc., low power amplifier (see Table ) creates a precise, power efficient voltage measurement solution suitable for power critical systems.

The and AD8279 difference amplifiers cancel out common-mode errors from the input op amps, if they track each other. The differential gain accuracy of the in-amp is proportional to how well the input feedback resistors (RF) match each other. The CMRR of the in-amp increases as the differential gain is increased ( + 2RF/RG), but a higher gain also reduces the common-mode voltage range.
