GENERAL DESCRIPTION
REF
The AD8235 is the smallest and lowest power instrumentation
amplifier in the industry. It is available in a 1.5 mm × 2.2 mm
wafer level chip scale package (WLCSP). The AD8235 draws
a maximum quiescent current of 40 μA. In addition, it draws a
maximum 500 nA of current during shutdown mode, making
it an excellent instrumentation amplifier for battery powered,
portable applications.
The AD8235 is an excellent choice for signal conditioning. Its
low input bias current of 50 pA and high CMRR of 110 dB
(G = 100) offer tremendous value for its size and low power.
It is specified over the extended industrial temperature range of
−40°C to 125°C.

INPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE (V)
The AD8235 can operate on supply voltages as low as 1.8 V. The
input stage allows for wide rail-to-rail input voltage range without
the crossover distortion, common in other designs. The rail-torail output enables easy interfacing to ADCs.

Figure 35. Simplified Schematic
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
is shown in Figure 36. Figure 39 shows an example configuration
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.
The Gain Selection section describes how to program the gain, G.

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-torail 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
information is provided in the Common-Mode Input Voltage
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).

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.

AD8235
SHUTDOWN FEATURE
The AD8235 includes a shutdown pin (SDN) that further
enhances the flexibility and ease of use in portable applications
where power consumption is critical. A logic level signal can be
applied to this pin to switch to shutdown mode, even when the
supply is still on.
When connecting the SDN pin to +VS or applying a voltage
within +VS − 0.5 V, the AD8235 operates in its normal condition
and, therefore, draws approximately 40 μA of supply current.
When connecting the SDN pin to −VS, or any voltage within −VS +
0.5 V, the AD8235 operates in shutdown mode and, therefore,
draws less than 500 nA of supply current, offering considerable
power savings.
In cases where the AD8235 is operating in shutdown mode, if
a voltage potential exists at the REF pin, and there is a load to
−VS at the output of the part, some additional current draw is
noticeable. In this mode, a path from the REF pin to −VS exists,
leading to some additional current draw from the reference.
Typically, this current is negligible because the output of the
AD8235 is driving a high impedance node, such as the input of
an ADC.
LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
The critical board design parameters, as it pertains to a WLCSP
package, are pad opening, pad type, pad finish, and board
thickness.
Pad Opening
Based on the IPC (Institute for Printed Circuits) standard, the
pad opening equals the UBM (Under Bump Metallurgy)
opening. The typical pad openings for the AD8235 shown in
Figure 37 are:

250 μm (0.5 mm pitch WLCSP)
The solder mask opening is 100 μm plus the pad opening (or
350 μm in the case of the AD8235). The trace width should be
less than two-thirds of the pad opening. Increasing the trace
width can cause reduction in the stand-off height of the solder
bump. Therefore, maintaining the proper trace width ratio is
important to ensure the reliability of the solder connections.
PAD OPENING
MASK OPENING
0 8211-044
TRACE
WIDTH
Figure 37. Pad Opening
Pad Type
For the actual board fabrication, the following types of
pads/land patterns are used for surface mount assembly:

Nonsolder mask defined (NSMD). The metal pad on the
PCB (to which the I/O is attached) is smaller than the
solder mask opening.

Solder mask defined (SMD). The solder mask opening is
smaller than the metal pad.
Because the copper etching process has tighter control than the
solder mask opening process, NSMD is preferred over SMD.
The solder mask opening on NSMD pads is larger than the
copper pads, allowing the solder to attach to the sides of the
copper pad and improving the reliability of the solder joints.
Pad Finish
The finish layer on the metal pads has a significant effect on
assembly yield and reliability. The typical metal pad finishes
used are organic surface preservative (OSP) and electroless
nickel immersion gold (ENIG). The thickness of the OSP finish
on a metal pad is 0.2 μm to 0.5 μm. This finish evaporates during
the reflow soldering process and interfacial reactions occur
between the solder and metal pad. The ENIG finish consists
of 5 μm of electroless nickel and 0.02 μm to 0.05 μm of gold.
During reflow soldering, the gold layer dissolves rapidly, followed
by reaction between the nickel and solder. It is extremely important
to keep the thickness of gold below 0.05 μm to prevent the
formation of brittle intermetallic compounds.

INCORRECT
Board Thickness
Typical board thicknesses used in the industry range from
0.4 mm to 1.6 mm and are most applicable for the AD8235. The
thickness selected depends on the required robustness of the
populated system assembly. The thinner board results in smaller
shear stress range, creep shear strain range, and creep strain
energy density range in the solder joints under the thermal
loading. Therefore, the thinner build-up board leads to longer
thermal fatigue life of solder joints [John H. Lau and S.W. Ricky
Lee]1
The output voltage of the AD8235 is developed with respect to
the potential on the reference terminal, REF. To ensure the most
accurate output, the trace from the REF pin should either be
connected to the AD8235 local ground (see Figure 39) or
connected to a voltage that is referenced to the AD8235 local
ground (Figure 36).
REFERENCE TERMINAL
The reference terminal, REF, is at one end of a 210 kΩ resistor
(see Figure 35). The output of the instrumentation amplifier
is referenced to the voltage on the REF terminal; this is useful
when the output signal needs to be offset to voltages other than
common. For example, a voltage source can be tied to the REF
pin to level-shift the output so that the AD8235 can interface
with an ADC. The allowable reference voltage range is a function
of the gain, common-mode input, and supply voltages. The REF
pin should not exceed either +VS or −VS by more than 0.5 V.

Figure 38. Driving the REF Pin
POWER SUPPLY REGULATION AND BYPASSING
The AD8235 has high power supply rejection ration (PSRR).
However, for optimal performance, a stable dc voltage should be
used to power the instrumentation amplifier. Noise on the supply
pins can adversely affect performance. As in all linear circuits,
bypass capacitors must be used to decouple the amplifier.
A 0.1 μF capacitor should be placed close to each supply pin.
A 10 μF tantalum capacitor can be used farther away from the
part (see Figure 39). In most cases, it can be shared by other
precision integrated circuits.
For best performance, especially in cases where the output is not
measured with respect to the REF terminal, source impedance to
the REF terminal should be kept low because parasitic resistance
can adversely affect CMRR and gain accuracy. Figure 38
demonstrates how an op amp is configured to provide a low
source impedance to the REF terminal when a midscale
reference voltage is desired.

Figure 40. Creating an IBIAS Path
INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN PATH
RF INTERFERENCE
The AD8235 input bias current is extremely small at less than
50 pA. Nonetheless, the input bias current must have a return
path to common. When the source, such as a transformer,
cannot provide a return current path, one should be created
(see Figure 40).
RF rectification is often a problem in applications where there are
large RF signals. The problem appears as a small dc offset voltage.
The AD8235, by its nature, has a 3.1 pF gate capacitance, CG, at
each input. Matched series resistors form a natural low-pass filter
that reduces rectification at high frequency (see Figure 41). The
relationship between external, matched series resistors and the
internal gate capacitance is expressed as
All terminals of the AD8235 are protected against ESD. In addition,
the input structure allows for dc overload conditions a diode drop
above the positive supply and a diode drop below the negative
supply. Voltages beyond a diode drop of the supplies cause the
ESD diodes to conduct and enable current to flow through the
diode. Therefore, an external resistor should be used in series
with each of the inputs to limit current for voltages above +VS.
In either scenario, the AD8235 safely handles a continuous 6 mA
current at room temperature.
For applications where the AD8235 encounters extreme
overload voltages, as in cardiac defibrillators, external series
resistors and low leakage diode clamps, such as BAV199Ls,
FJH1100s, or SP720s, should be used.

To eliminate high frequency common-mode signals while using

COMMON-MODE INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
The common-mode input voltage range is a function of the
input voltages, reference voltage, supplies, and the output of
Internal Op Amp A. Figure 35 shows the internal nodes of the
AD8235. Figure 20 to Figure 23 show the common-mode
voltage ranges for typical supply voltages and gains.
If the supply voltages and reference voltage are not represented
in Figure 20 to Figure 23, the following methodology can be
used to calculate the acceptable common-mode voltage range:

2πR(C C  C G )
Mismatched CC capacitors result in mismatched low-pass filters.
The imbalance causes the AD8235 to treat what is a commonmode signal as a differential signal. To reduce the effect of
mismatched external CC capacitors, select a value of CD greater
than 10× CC. This sets the differential filter frequency lower than
the common-mode frequency.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
AC-COUPLED INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
LOW POWER HEART RATE MONITOR
An integrator can be tied to the AD8235 in feedback to create a
high-pass filter, as shown in Figure 43. This circuit can be used
to reject dc voltages and offsets. At low frequencies, the impedance
of the capacitor, C, is high. Therefore, the gain of the integrator
is high. DC voltage at the output of the AD8235 is inverted and
gained by the integrator. The inverted signal is injected back into
the REF pin, nulling the output. In contrast, at high frequencies,
the integrator has low gain because the impedance of C is low.
Voltage changes at high frequencies are inverted but at a low
gain. The signal is injected into the REF pins, but it is not enough to
null the output. At very high frequencies, the capacitor appears as
a short. The op amp is at unity gain. High frequency signals are,
therefore, allowed to pass.
The low power and small size of the AD8235 make it an excellent
choice for heart rate monitors. As shown in Figure 44, the
AD8235 measures the biopotential signals from the body. It
rejects common-mode signals and serves as the primary gain
stage set at G = 5. The 4.7 μF capacitor and the 100 kΩ resistor
set the −3 dB cutoff of the high-pass filter that follows the
instrumentation amplifier. It rejects any differential dc offsets
that may develop from the half-cell overpotential of the electrode.
When a signal exceeds fHIGH-PASS, the AD8235 outputs the highpass filtered input signal.
This circuit was designed and tested using the AD8609, low
power, quad op amp. The fourth op amp is configured as a Schmitt
trigger to indicate if the right arm or left arm electrodes fall off
the body. Used in conjunction with the 953 kΩ resistors at the
inputs of the AD8235, the resistors pull the inputs apart when
the electrodes fall off the body. The Schmitt trigger sends an
active low signal to indicate a leads off condition.
A secondary gain stage, set at G = 403, amplifies the ECG signal,
which is then sent into a second-order, low-pass, Bessel filter
with −3 dB cutoff at 48 Hz. The 324 Ω resistor and 1 μF capacitor
serve as an antialiasing filter. The 1 μF capacitor also serves as a
charge reservoir for the ADC switched capacitor input stage.
