GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8222 is a dual-channel, high performance instrumentation
amplifier that requires only one external resistor per amplifier
to set gains of 1 to 10,000.
The AD8222 is the first dual-instrumentation amplifier in the
small 4 mm × 4mm LFCSP. It requires the same board area as a
typical single instrumentation amplifier. The smaller package
allows a 2× increase in channel density and a lower cost per
channel, all with no compromise in performance.
The AD8222 can also 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.

The AD8222 maintains a minimum CMRR of 80 dB to 4 kHz
for all grades at G = 1. High CMRR over frequency allows the
AD8222 to reject wideband interference and line harmonics,
greatly simplifying filter requirements. The AD8222 also has a
typical CMRR drift over temperature of just 0.07 µV/V/°C at G = 1.
The AD8222 operates on both single and dual supplies and only
requires 2.2 mA maximum supply current for both amplifiers. It
is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to
+85°C and is fully RoHS compliant.
For a single-channel version, see the AD8221.

AMPLIFIER ARCHITECTURE
The two instrumentation amplifiers of the AD8222 are based on
the classic three op amp topology.
schematic of one of the amplifiers. Input Transistors Q1 and Q2
are biased at a fixed current. Any differential input signal forces
the output voltages of A1 and A2 to change so that the differential
voltage also appears across R
R
must also flow through R1 and R2, resulting in a precisely
G
amplified version of the differential input signal between the
outputs of A1 and A2. Topologically, Q1, A1, and R1 and Q2,
A2, and R2 can be viewed as precision current feedback
amplifiers. The common-mode signal and the amplified
differential signal are applied to a difference amplifier that
rejects the common-mode voltage. The difference amplifier
employs innovations that result in low output offset voltage as
well as low output offset voltage drift.
Because the input amplifiers employ a current feedback
architecture, the gain-bandwidth product of the AD8222
increases with gain, resulting in a system that does not suffer
from the expected bandwidth loss of voltage feedback
architectures at higher gains.

REFERENCE TERMINAL
The output voltage of the AD8222 is developed with respect to
the potential on the reference terminal. This is useful when the
output signal needs to be offset to a precise midsupply level. For
example, a voltage source can be tied to the REF pin to levelshift the output so that the AD8222 can drive a single-supply
ADC. The REF pin is protected with ESD diodes and should
not exceed either +V
or −VS by more than 0.3 V.
S
For best performance, source impedance to the REF terminal
should be kept below 1 Ω. As shown in
Figure 44, the reference
terminal, REF, is at one end of a 10 k resistor. Additional
impedance at the REF terminal adds to this 10 k resistor and
results in amplification of the signal connected to the positive
input. The amplification from the additional R
can be
REF
computed by

Only the positive signal path is amplified; the negative path is
unaffected. This uneven amplification degrades the amplifier’s
CMRR.

LAYOUT
The AD8222 is a high precision device. To ensure optimum
performance at the PC board level, care must be taken in the
design of the board layout. The AD8222 pinout is arranged in a
logical manner to aid in this task.
Package Considerations
The AD8222 comes in a 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP. Beware of
blindly copying the footprint from another 4 mm × 4 mm
LFCSP part; it may not have the same thermal pad size and
leads. Refer to the
the PCB symbol has the correct dimensions. Space between the
leads and thermal pad should be kept as wide as possible for the
best bias current performance.
Outline Dimensions section to verify that
05947-054
Thermal Pad
The AD8222’s 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP comes with a thermal pad.
This pad is connected internally to −V
. The pad can either be
S
left unconnected or connected to the negative supply rail.
To preserve maximum pin compatibility with future dual
instrumentation amplifiers, leave the pad unconnected
. This
can be done by not soldering the paddle at all or by soldering
the part to a landing that is a not connected to any other net.
For high vibration applications, a landing is recommended.
Because the AD8222 dissipates little power, heat dissipation is
rarely an issue. If improved heat dissipation is desired (for example,
when driving heavy loads), connect the thermal pad to the
negative supply rail. For the best heat dissipation performance,
the negative supply rail should be a plane in the board. See
the section for thermal coefficients with and without the pad
soldered.
Common-Mode Rejection over Frequency
The AD8222 has a higher CMRR over frequency than typical
in-amps, which gives it greater immunity to disturbances, such
as line noise and its associated harmonics. A well-implemented
layout is required to maintain this high performance. Input
source impedances should be matched closely. Source resistance
should be placed close to the inputs so that it interacts with as
little parasitic capacitance as possible.
Parasitics at the RGx pins can also affect CMRR over frequency.
The PCB should be laid out so that the parasitic capacitances at
each pin match. Traces from the gain setting resistor to the RGx
pins should be kept short to minimize parasitic inductance.
Reference
Errors introduced at the reference terminal feed directly to the
output. Care should be taken to tie REF to the appropriate local
ground.
Power Supplies
A stable dc voltage should be used to power the instrumentation
amplifier. Noise on the supply pins can adversely affect
performance.
The AD8222 has two positive supply pins (Pin 5 and Pin 16)
and two negative supply pins (Pin 8 and Pin 13). While the part
functions with only one pin from each supply pair connected,
both pins should be connected for specified performance and
optimum reliability.

The AD8222 should be decoupled with 0.1 µF bypass capacitors,
one for each supply. The positive supply decoupling capacitor
should be placed near Pin 16, and the negative supply
decoupling capacitor should be placed near Pin 8. Each supply
should also be decoupled with a 10 µF tantalum capacitor. The
tantalum capacitor can be placed further away from the
AD8222 and can generally be shared by other precision integrated
circuits.

SOLDER WASH
The solder process can leave flux and other contaminants on
the board. When these contaminants are between the AD8222
leads and thermal pad, they can create leakage paths that are
larger than the AD8222’s bias currents. A thorough washing
process removes these contaminants and restores the AD8222’s
excellent bias current performance.
INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN PATH
The input bias current of the AD8222 must have a return path
to common. When the source, such as a thermocouple, cannot
provide a return current path, one should be created, as shown
in
Figure 47.
INPUT PROTECTION
05947-046
All terminals of the AD8222 are protected against ESD (1 kV—
human body model). In addition, the input structure allows for
dc overload conditions of about 2½ V beyond the supplies.
Input Voltages Beyond the Rails
For larger input voltages, an external resistor should be used in
series with each input to limit current during overload conditions.
The AD8222 can safely handle a continuous 6 mA current. The
limiting resistor can be computed from

Differential Input Voltages at High Gains
When operating at high gain, large differential input voltages
can cause more than 6 mA of current to flow into the inputs.
This condition occurs when the differential voltage exceeds
the following critical voltage

= (400 + RG) × (6 mA)

This is true for differential voltages of either polarity.
The maximum allowed differential voltage can be increased by
adding an input protection resistor in series with each input.

RF INTERFERENCE
RF rectification is often a problem when amplifiers are used in
applications where there are strong RF signals. The disturbance
can appear as a small dc offset voltage. High frequency signals
can be filtered with a low-pass, RC network placed at the input
of the instrumentation amplifier, as shown in

COMMON-MODE INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
The three op amp architecture of the AD8222 applies gain and
then removes the common-mode voltage. Therefore, internal
nodes in the AD8222 experience a combination of both the
gained signal and the common-mode signal. This combined
signal can be limited by the voltage supplies even when the
individual input and output signals are not.

APPLICATIONS
DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT
The differential configuration of the AD8222 has the same
excellent dc precision specifications as the single-ended output
configuration and is recommended for applications in the
frequency range of dc to 100 kHz.
The circuit configuration is shown in
output specification in
Tabl e 2 and Ta b le 4 refer to this
configuration only. The circuit includes an RC filter that maintains
the stability of the loop.

go 300 mV beyond the supply rails.

A common application sets the common-mode output voltage
to the midscale of a differential ADC. In this case, the ADC
reference voltage would be sent to the +IN2 terminal, and
ground would be connected to the REF2 terminal. This would
produce a common-mode output voltage of half the ADC
reference voltage.
2-Channel Differential Output Using a Dual Op Amp
Another differential output topology is shown in Figure 50.
Instead of a second in-amp, ½ of a dual OP2177 op amp creates
the inverted output. Because the OP2177 comes in an MSOP,
this configuration allows the creation of a dual channel,
precision differential output in-amp with little board area.
Errors from the op amp are common to both outputs and are
thus common mode. Errors from mismatched resistors also

create a common-mode dc offset. Because these errors are
common mode, they will likely be rejected by the next device
in the signal chain.

DRIVING A DIFFERENTIAL INPUT ADC
The AD8222 can be configured in differential output mode
to drive a differential analog-to-digital converter.
illustrates several of the concepts.
First Antialiasing Filter
The 1 kΩ resistor, 1000 pF capacitor, and 100 pF capacitors in
front of the in-amp form a 76 kHz filter. This is the first of two
antialiasing filters in the circuit and helps to reduce the noise of
the system. The 100 pF capacitors protect against commonmode RFI signals. Note that they are 5% COG/NPO types.
These capacitors match well over time and temperature, which
keeps the system’s CMRR high over frequency.
Second Antialiasing Filter
A 1 kΩ resistor and 2200 pF capacitor are located between each
AD8222 output and ADC input. They create a 72 kHz low-pass
filter for another stage of antialiasing protection.
These four elements also help distortion performance. The
2200 pF capacitor provides charge to the switched capacitor
front end of the ADC, while the 1 kΩ resistor shields the
AD8222 from driving any sharp current changes. If the
application requires a lower frequency antialiasing filter and is
distortion sensitive, increase the value of the capacitor rather
than the resistor.

The 1 kΩ resistors can also protect an ADC from overvoltages.
Because the AD8222 runs on wider supply voltages than a
typical ADC, there is a possibility of overdriving the ADC. This
is not an issue with a PulSAR® converter, such as the AD7688.
Its input can handle a 130 mA overdrive, which is much higher
than the short-circuit limit of the AD8222. However, other
converters have less robust inputs and may need the added
protection.
Reference
The ADR435 supplies a reference voltage to both the ADC and
the AD8222. Because REF2 on the AD8222 is grounded, the
common-mode output voltage is precisely half the reference
voltage, exactly where it needs to be for the ADC.

The low offset and high CMRR over frequency of the
AD8222 make it an excellent candidate for both ac and dc
bridge measurements. As shown in

DRIVING CABLING
All cables have a certain capacitance per unit length, which
varies widely with cable type. The capacitive load from the cable
may cause peaking in the AD8222’s output response. To reduce
the peaking, use a resistor between the AD8222 and the cable.
Because cable capacitance and desired output response vary
widely, this resistor is best determined empirically. A good
starting point is 50 Ω.
The AD8222 operates at a low enough frequency that
transmission line effects are rarely an issue; therefore, the
resistor need not match the characteristic impedance of
the cable.
