Figure 35. Simplified Schematic
The AD8235 is a monolithic, two-op amp instrumentation
amplifier. It is designed for low power, portable applications
where size and low quiescent current are paramount. The
AD8235 is offered in a WLCSP package, minimizing layout
area. Additional features that make this part optimal for
portable applications include a rail-to-rail input and output
stage that offers more dynamic range when operating on low
voltage batteries. Unlike traditional rail-to-rail input amplifiers
that use a complementary differential pair stage and suffer from
nonlinearity, the AD8235 uses a novel architecture to internally
boost the supply rail, allowing the amplifier to operate rail-to-
rail yet still deliver a low 0.5 ppm of nonlinearity. In addition,
the two-op amp instrumentation amplifier architecture offers a
wide operational common-mode voltage range. Additional
Range section. Precision, laser-trimmed resistors provide the
AD8235 with a high CMRR of 90 dB (minimum) at G = 5 and
gain accuracy of 0.05% (maximum).

BASIC OPERATION
The AD8235 amplifies the difference between its positive input
(+IN) and its negative input (IN). The REF pin allows the user
to level-shift the output signal. This is convenient when interfacing
to a filter or analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The basic setup
for operating the AD8235 with dual supplies. The equation for
the AD8235 is as follows:
VOUT = G × (VINP VINM) + VREF
If no gain setting resistor is installed, the default gain, G, is 5.

GAIN SELECTION
Placing a resistor across the RG terminals sets the gain of the
AD8235. The gain may be derived by referring to
Table 6 or by

The AD8235 defaults to G = 5 when no gain resistor is used.
Gain accuracy is determined by the absolute tolerance of RG.
The TC of the external gain resistor increases the gain drift of
the instrumentation amplifier. Gain error and gain drift are at
a minimum when the gain resistor is not used.
