GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD627 is an integrated, micropower instrumentation amplifier that delivers rail-to-rail output swing on single and dual (+2.2 V to ±18 V) supplies. The AD627 provides excellent ac and dc specifications while operating at only 85 µA maximum.
The AD627 offers superior flexibility by allowing the user to set t
he gain of the device with a single external resistor while con­forming to the 8-lead industry-standard pinout configuration. With no external resistor, the AD627 is configured for a gain of 5. With an external resistor, it can be set to a gain of up to 1000.
A wide supply voltage range (+2.2 V to ±18 V) and micropower
urrent consumption make the AD627 a perfect fit for a wide
c range of applications. Single-supply operation, low power consumption, and rail-to-rail output swing make the AD627

ideal for battery-powered applications. Its rail-to-rail output stage maximizes dynamic range when operating from low supply voltages. Dual-supply operation (±15 V) and low power consumption make the AD627 ideal for industrial applications, including 4 to 20 mA loop-powered systems.
The AD627 does not compromise performance, unlike other
opower instrumentation amplifiers. Low voltage offset,
micr offset drift, gain error, and gain drift minimize errors in the system. The AD627 also minimizes errors over frequency by providing excellent CMRR over frequency. Because the CMRR remains high up to 200 Hz, line noise and line harmonics are rejected.
The AD627 provides superior performance, uses less circuit
oard area, and costs less than micropower discrete designs.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The AD627 is a true instrumentation amplifier, built using two feedback loops. Its general properties are similar to those of the classic two-op-amp instrumentation amplifier configuration but internally the details are somewhat different. The AD627 uses a modified current feedback scheme, which, coupled with interstage feedforward frequency compensation, results in a much better common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) at frequencies above dc (notably the line frequency of 50 Hz to 60 Hz) than might otherwise be expected of a low power instrumentation amplifier.
In Figure 35, A1 completes a feedback loop that, in conjunction
th V1 and R5, forces a constant collector current in Q1. Assume
wi that the gain-setting resistor (R
) is not present. Resistors R2
G
and R1 complete the loop and force the output of A1 to be equal to the voltage on the inverting terminal with a gain of nearly
1.25. A2 completes a nearly identical feedback loop that forces a current in Q2 that is nearly identical to that in Q1; A2 also provides the output voltage. When both loops are balanced, the gain from the noninverting terminal to V whereas the gain from the output of A1 to V
is equal to 5,

is equal to −4.

USING THE AD627

BASIC CONNECTIONS

SETTING THE GAIN

The gain of the AD627 is resistor programmed by RG, or, more precisely, by whatever impedance appears between Pin 1 and Pin 8.
The gain is set according to
Gain = 5 + (200 kΩ/R
Therefore, the minimum achievable gain is 5 (for 200 kΩ/ (Ga
in − 5)). With an internal gain accuracy of between 0.05% and 0.7%, depending on gain and grade, a 0.1% external gain resistor is appropriate to prevent significant degradation of the overall gain error. However, 0.1% resistors are not available in a wide range of values and are quite expensive.
commended gain resistor values using 1% resistors. For all
re gains, the size of the gain resistor is conservatively chosen as the closest value from the standard resistor table that is higher than the ideal value. This results in a gain that is always slightly less than the desired gain, thereby preventing clipping of the signal at the output due to resistor tolerance.
The internal resistors on the AD627 have a negative temperature
efficient of −75 ppm/°C maximum for gains > 5. Using a
co gain resistor that also has a negative temperature coefficient of −75 ppm/°C or less tends to reduce the overall gain drift of the circuit.

REFERENCE TERMINAL

The reference terminal potential defines the zero output voltage and is especially useful when the load does not share a precise ground with the rest of the system. It provides a direct means of injecting a precise offset to the output. The reference terminal is also useful when amplifying bipolar signals, because it provides a virtual ground voltage.
The AD627 output voltage is developed with respect to the poten­ti
al on the reference terminal; therefore, tying the REF pin to the appropriate local ground solves many grounding problems. For optimal CMR, tie the REF pin to a low impedance point.
The voltage on A1 can also be expressed as a function of the actual
voltages on the –IN and +IN pins (V− and V+) such that
V
= 1.25 ((V−) + 0.5 V) − 0.25 V

The output of A1 is capable of swinging to within 50 mV of the n
egative rail and to within 200 mV of the positive rail. It is clear,
from either Equation 3 or Equation 4, that an increasing V

(while it acts as a positive offset at the output of the AD627) tends to decrease the voltage on A1. Figure 38 and Figure 39 s

INPUT RANGE LIMITATIONS IN SINGLE-SUPPLY APPLICATIONS

In general, the maximum achievable gain is determined by the available output signal range. However, in single-supply applica­tions where the input common-mode voltage is nearly or equal to 0, some limitations on the gain can be set. Although the Specifications section nominally defines the input, output, and r
eference pin ranges, the voltage ranges on these pins are mutually interdependent. Figure 37 shows the simplified s
chematic of the AD627, driven by a differential voltage (V that has a common-mode component, V A1 op amp output is a function of V

Raising the input common-mode voltage increases the voltage on the output of A1. However, in single-supply applications where the common-mode voltage is low, a differential input voltage or a voltage on REF that is too high can drive the output of A1 into the ground rail. Some low-side headroom is added because both inputs are shifted upwards by about 0.5 V (that is, by the V

Tabl e 7 gives values for the maximum gain for various single-
pply input conditions. The resulting output swings refer to
su 0 V. To maximize the available gain and output swing, set the voltages on the REF pins to either 2 V or 1 V. In most cases, there is no advantage to increasing the single supply to greater than 5 V (the exception is an input range of 0 V to 1 V).

OUTPUT BUFFERING

The AD627 is designed to drive loads of 20 kΩ or greater but can deliver up to 20 mA to heavier loads at lower output voltage swings (see Figure 10). If more than 20 mA of output current is r
equired at the output, buffer the AD627 output with a precision
op amp, such as the
. This op amp can swing from 0 V to 4 V on its output
supply while driving a load as small as 600 Ω.

INPUT AND OUTPUT OFFSET ERRORS

The low errors of the AD627 are attributed to two sources, input and output errors. The output error is divided by G when referred to the input. In practice, input errors dominate at high gains and output errors dominate at low gains. The total offset error for a given gain is calculated as

MAKE vs. BUY: A TYPICAL APPLICATION ERROR BUDGET

The example in Figure 41 serves as a good comparison between the errors associated with an integrated and a discrete in-amp implementation. A ±100 mV signal from a resistive bridge (common-mode voltage = 2.5 V) is amplified. This example compares the resulting errors from a discrete two-op-amp instrumentation amplifier and the AD627. The discrete implementation uses a four-resistor precision network (1% match, 50 ppm/°C tracking).

The input offset current of the discrete instrumentation amplifier im

In addition, although the values of the resistor network are chosen so that the inverting and noninverting inputs of each op amp see the same impedance (about 350 Ω), the offset current of each op amp adds another error that must be characterized.

ERRORS DUE TO AC CMRR

In Ta b le 9 , the error due to common-mode rejection results from the common-mode voltage from the bridge 2.5 V. The ac error due to less than ideal common-mode rejection cannot be calculated without knowing the size of the ac common-mode voltage (usually interference from 50 Hz/60 Hz mains frequencies).
A mismatch of 0.1% between the four gain setting resistors
ermines the low frequency CMRR of a two-op-amp
det instrumentation amplifier. The plot in Figure 43 shows the p
ractical results of resistor mismatch at ambient temperature.
The CMRR of the circuit in Figure 42 (Gain = +11) was m
easured using four resistors with a mismatch of nearly 0.1% (R1 = 9999.5 Ω, R2 = 999.76 Ω, R3 = 1000.2 Ω, R4 = 9997.7 Ω). As expected, the CMRR at dc was measured at about 84 dB (calculated value is 85 dB). However, as frequency increases, CMRR quickly degrades. For example, a 200 mV p-p harmonic of the mains frequency at 180 Hz would result in an output voltage of about 800 µV. To put this in context, a 12-bit data acquisition system, with an input range of 0 V to 2.5 V, has an LSB weighting of 610 µV.
By contrast, the AD627 uses precision laser trimming of internal r
esistors, along with patented CMR trimming, to yield a higher dc CMRR and a wider bandwidth over which the CMRR is flat (see Figure 23).

GROUND RETURNS FOR INPUT BIAS CURRENTS

Input bias currents are dc currents that must flow to bias the input transistors of an amplifier. They are usually transistor base currents. When amplifying floating input sources, such as transformers or ac-coupled sources, there must be a direct dc path into each input so that the bias current can flow. Figure 45, and Figure 46 show how to provide a bias current pa
th for the cases of, respectively, transformer coupling, a
thermocouple application, and capacitive ac-coupling.
In dc-coupled resistive bridge applications, providing this path
s generally not necessary because the bias current simply flows
i from the bridge supply through the bridge and into the amplifier. However, if the impedance that the two inputs see are large, and differ by a large amount (>10 kΩ), the offset current of the input stage causes dc errors compatible with the input offset voltage of the amplifier.

LAYOUT AND GROUNDING

The use of ground planes is recommended to minimize the impedance of ground returns (and hence, the size of dc errors). To isolate low level analog signals from a noisy digital environment, many data acquisition components have separate analog and digital ground returns (see
rom mixed-signal components, such as analog-to-digital
f converters, through the high quality analog ground plane. Digital ground lines of mixed-signal components should also be returned through the analog ground plane. This may seem to break the rule of separating analog and digital grounds; however, in general, there is also a requirement to keep the voltage difference between digital and analog grounds on a converter as small as possible (typically, <0.3 V). The increased noise, caused by the digital return currents of the converter flowing through the analog ground plane, is generally negligible. To maximize isolation between analog and digital, connect the ground planes back at the supplies.
Figure 47). Return all ground pins
If there is only one power supply available, it must be shared by
th digital and analog circuitry. Figure 48 shows how to minimize
bo in
terference between the digital and analog circuitry. As in the previous case, use separate analog and digital ground planes or use reasonably thick traces as an alternative to a digital ground plane. Connect the ground planes at the ground pin of the power supply. Run separate traces (or power planes) from the power supply to the supply pins of the digital and analog circuits. Ideally, each device should have its own power supply trace, but they can be shared by multiple devices if a single trace is not used to route current to both digital and analog circuitry.

INPUT PROTECTION

As shown in the simplified schematic (see Figure 35), both the inverting and noninverting inputs are clamped to the positive and negative supplies by ESD diodes. In addition, a 2 kΩ series resistor on each input provides current limiting in the event of an overvoltage. These ESD diodes can tolerate a maximum continuous current of 10 mA. So an overvoltage (that is, the amount by which the input voltage exceeds the supply voltage) of ±20 V can be tolerated. This is true for all gains, and for power on and off. This last case is particularly important because the signal source and amplifier can be powered separately.
If the overvoltage is expected to exceed 20 V, use additional ext
ernal series current-limiting resistors to keep the diode
current below 10 mA.

RF INTERFERENCE

All instrumentation amplifiers can rectify high frequency out­of-band signals. Once rectified, these signals appear as dc offset errors at the output. The circuit in Figure 49 provides good RFI suppre
ssion without reducing performance within the pass band of the instrumentation amplifier. Resistor R1 and Capacitor C1 (and likewise, R2 and C2) form a low-pass RC filter that has a –3 dB BW equal to
f = 1/(2π(
Using the component values shown in Figure 49, this filter has a –3 dB Resistor R2 were selected to be large enough to isolate the circuit input from the capacitors but not large enough to significantly increase circuit noise. To preserve common-mode rejection in the amplifier pass band, Capacitor C1 and Capacitor C2 must be 5% mica units, or low cost 20% units can be tested and binned to provide closely matched devices.

bandwidth of approximately 8 kHz. Resistor R1 and
Capacitor C3 is needed to maintain common-mode rejection at lo
w frequencies. R1/R2 and C1/C2 form a bridge circuit whose output appears across the input pins of the in-amp. Any mismatch between C1 and C2 unbalances the bridge and reduces common­mode rejection. C3 ensures that any RF signals are common mode (the same on both in-amp inputs) and are not applied differentially. This second low-pass network, R1 + R2 and C3, has a −3 dB frequency equal to
1/(2π((R1 + R2) × C3)) (8)

Using a C3 value of 0.022 µF, as shown in Figure 49, the −3 dB signal bandwidth of this circuit is approximately 200 Hz. The typical dc offset shift over frequency is less than 1 mV and the RF signal rejection of the circuit is better than 57 dB. To increase the 3 dB signal bandwidth of this circuit, reduce the value of Resistor R1 and Resistor R2. The performance is similar to that when using 20 kΩ resistors, except that the circuitry preceding the in-amp must drive a lower impedance load.
When building a circuit like that shown in Figure 49, use a PC
oard with a ground plane on both sides. Make all component
b leads as short as possible. Resistor R1 and Resistor R2 can be common 1% metal film units, but Capacitor C1 and Capacitor C2 must be ±5% tolerance devices to avoid degrading the common­mode rejection of the circuit. Either the traditional 5% silver mica units or Panasonic ±2% PPS film capacitors are recommended.

APPLICATIONS CIRCUITS

CLASSIC BRIDGE CIRCUIT

Figure 50 shows the AD627 configured to amplify the signal from a classic resistive bridge. This circuit works in dual-supply mode or single-supply mode. Typically, the same voltage that powers the instrumentation amplifiers excites the bridge. Connecting the bottom of the bridge to the negative supply of the instrumentation amplifiers (usually 0 V, −5 V, −12 V, or
−15 V), sets up an input common-mode voltage that is optimally located midway between the supply voltages. It is also appropriate to set the voltage on the REF pin to midway between the supplies, especially if the input signal is bipolar. However, the voltage on the REF pin can be varied to suit the application. For example, the REF pin is tied to the V an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) whose input range is (V
± VIN). With an available output swing on the AD627 of
REF
(−V
+ 100 mV) to (+VS − 150 mV), the maximum programmable
S
gain is simply this output range divided by the input range.

4 TO 20 mA SINGLE-SUPPLY RECEIVER

Figure 51 shows how a signal from a 4 to 20 mA transducer can be interfaced to the ADuC812, a 12-bit ADC with an embedded
ocontroller. The signal from a 4 to 20 mA transducer is
micr single-ended, which initially suggests the need for a simple shunt resistor to convert the current to a voltage at the high impedance analog input of the converter. However, any line resistance in the return path (to the transducer) adds a current dependent offset error; therefore, the current must be sensed differentially.
In this example, a 24.9 Ω shunt resistor generates a maximum dif
ferential input voltage to the AD627 of between 100 mV (for 4 mA in) and 500 mV (for 20 mA in). With no gain resistor present, the AD627 amplifies the 500 mV input voltage by a factor of 5, to 2.5 V, the full-scale input voltage of the ADC. The zero current of 4 mA corresponds to a code of 819 and the LSB size is 610 A.

THERMOCOUPLE AMPLIFIER

Because the common-mode input range of the AD627 extends
0.1 V below ground, it is possible to measure small differential signals that have a low, or no, common-mode component. Figure 51 shows a thermocouple application where one side of t
he J-type thermocouple is grounded.
Over a temperature range from −200°C to +200°C, the J-type th
ermocouple delivers a voltage ranging from −7.890 mV to
+10.777 mV. A programmed gain on the AD627 of 100 (R
2.1 kΩ) and a voltage on the AD627 REF pin of 2 V result in the output voltage of the AD627 ranging from 1.110 V to 3.077 V relative to ground. For a different input range or different voltage on the REF pin, it is important to verify that the voltage on Internal Node A1 (see
round. This can be checked using the equations in the Input
