GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8230 is a low drift, differential sampling, precision
instrumentation amplifier. Auto-zeroing reduces offset voltage
drift to less than 50 nV/°C. The AD8230 is well-suited for
thermocouple and bridge transducer applications. The
AD8230’s high CMR of 110 dB (minimum) rejects line noise in
measurements where the sensor is far from the instrumentation.
The 16 V rail-to-rail, common-mode input range is useful for
noisy environments where ground potentials vary by several
volts. Low frequency noise is kept to a minimal 3 μV p-p,
making the AD8230 perfect for applications requiring the
utmost dc precision. Moreover, the AD8230 maintains its high
performance over the extended industrial temperature range of
−40°C to +125°C.
Two external resistors are used to program the gain. By using
ma
tched external resistors, the gain stability of the AD8230 is
much higher than instrumentation amplifiers that use a single
resistor to set the gain. In addition to allowing users to program
the gain between 10
offset voltage.

The AD8230 is versatile yet simple to use. Its auto-zeroing
topology significantly minimizes the input and output
transients typical of commutating or chopper instrumentation
amplifiers. The AD8230 operates on ±4 V to ±8 V (+8 V to +16 V)
supplies and is available in an 8-lead SOIC.

The AD8230 can operate as low as G = 2. However, since the differential input range is limited to approximately 750 mV, the AD8230 configured at G < 10 does not
make use of the full output voltage range.

Gain drift is determined by the TC match of the external gain setting resistors.

Differential source resistance less than 10 kΩ does not result in voltage offset due to input bias current or mismatched series resistors.

For G < 10, the reference voltage range is limited to −VS + 4.24 V to +VS – 2.75 V.
