GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Th
e AD8224 is the first single-supply, JFET input instrumentation
amplifier available in the space-saving 16-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm
LFCSP. It requires the same board area as a typical single
instrumentation amplifier yet doubles the channel density
and offers a lower cost per channel without compromising
performance.
Designed to meet the needs of high performance, portable
rejection ratio (CMRR) of 86 dB at dc and a minimum CMRR
of 80 dB at 10 kHz for G = 1. Maximum input bias current is
10 pA and typically remains below 300 pA over the entire
industrial temperature range. Despite the JFET inputs, the
AD8224 typically has a noise corner of only 10 Hz.
With the proliferation of mixed-signal processing, the number
of power supplies required in each system has grown. Designed
to alleviate this problem, the
AD8224 can operate on a ±18 V
dual supply, as well as on a single +5 V supply. The device’s rail-
to-rail output stage maximizes dynamic range on the low voltage
supplies common in portable applications. Its ability to run on a
single 5 V supply eliminates the need for higher voltage, dual
amplifier, making it ideal for battery powered devices.
In addition, the
AD8224 can be configured as a single-channel,
differential output, instrumentation amplifier. Differential
outputs provide high noise immunity, which can be useful when
the output signal must travel through a noisy environment, such
as with remote sensors. The configuration can also be used to
drive differential input ADCs. For a single-channel version, use
