GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8206 is a single-supply difference amplifier for
amplifying small differential voltages in the presence of large
common-mode voltages. The operating input common-mode
voltage range extends from −2 V to +65 V. The typical singlesupply voltage is 5 V.
The AD8206 is offered in an 8-lead SOIC package and it is rated
throughout the automotive temperature range of −40°C to
+125°C.

Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no

Excellent DC performance over temperature keeps errors in the
measurement loop to a minimum. Offset drift is typically less
than 15 μV/°C, and gain drift is typically below 30 ppm/°C.
The output offset can be adjusted from 0.08 V to 4.7 V with
a 5 V supply by using the V
attached to the V+ pin, and V
1 and V
REF
2 attached to the GND pin,
REF
2 pins. With V
REF
the output is set at half scale. Attaching both pins to GND
causes the output to be unipolar, starting near ground.
Attaching both pins to V+ causes the output to be unipolar
starting near V+. Other offsets can be obtained by applying
an external voltage to the V
