GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8420 is a low cost, wide supply range amplifier that uses
two resistors to set any gain between 1 and 1000. It is optimized
to amplify small differential voltages in the presence of large
common mode signals.
The AD8420 is based on a current mode architecture that gives
it excellent input common mode range. Unlike conventional
instrumentation amplifiers, the AD8420 can easily amplify
signals at or even slightly below ground without requiring dual
supplies. The AD8420 has a full rail to rail output, and the
output voltage is completely independent of the input common
mode voltage.
The AD8420 can operate off both single or dual supplies. It
works well for a portable system with a limited single supply
voltage and equally well for a system using large dual supplies.
Gain is set using the ratio of two resistors. A reference pin
allows the user to offset the output voltage. This feature is useful
when the output signal needs to be centered around a specific
voltage, such as mid-supply.
The AD8420 is available in an 8 pin MSOP package.
Performance is specified over the full temperature range of
−40°C to +85°C. Part is operational from −40°C to +125°C

ARCHITECTURE
Table 7. Suggested Resistors for Various Gains - 1% Resistors
The AD8420 consists of three amplifiers: two matched
transconductance amplifiers that convert voltage to current and
one integrator amplifier that converts current to voltage.

The AD8420 works as follows: assume a differential voltage is
applied across inputs +IN and -IN. This input voltage is
converted into a current by Amplifier A1. This will create a
difference in current between A1 and A2, which is fed into A3.
A3’s output voltage will change until A2 sinks all the current A1
is generating. Because the gain of A1 and A2 are matched, this
means the differential input voltage across A1 will appear across
the inputs of A2. Gain is set by the ratio of R2 to R1.
Because the AD8420 converts the input differential signals to a
current, there are no internal headroom issues as with
traditional instrumentation amplifier architectures. This is
particularly important when amplifying a signal with a
common mode voltage near one of the supply rails.
To improve robustness and ease of use, the AD8420 includes
overvoltage protection on its inputs. This protection scheme
allows input voltages well beyond the supply rails (as well as
wide differential input voltages) without damaging the part.

While the ratio of R2 to R1 sets the gain, the absolute value of
the resistors is up to the designer. Larger values reduce power
consumption and output loading; smaller values limit FB input
bias current error.
A method that allows large value feedback resistors while
limiting FB bias current error is to place a resistor of value
R1||R2 in series with the REF terminal as shown in Figure 4. At
higher gains, this resistor can simply be the same value as R1.

INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
DRIVING THE REFERENCE PIN
Unlike traditional instrumentation amplifier architectures, the
allowed input range of the AD8420 is simplicity itself. For the
AD8420’s transfer function to be valid, the input voltage should
follow two rules:
Traditional instrumentation amplifier architectures require the
reference pin to be driven with a low impedance source. In
traditional architectures, impedance at the reference pin
degrades both CMRR and gain accuracy. With the AD8420
architecture, resistance at the reference pin has no effect on
CMRR.
1)
Keep differential input voltage within ±1V.
2)
Keep voltage on +IN, -IN, and REF pins in specified
input voltage range
AD8420
No hexagonal figures. No complicated formulas.
INPUT PROTECTION
The AD8420 has very robust inputs and typically does not
need additional input protection. Input voltages can be up to
40 V from the opposite supply rail. For example, with a +5 V
positive supply and a −8 V negative supply, the part can safely
withstand voltages from −35 V to 32 V. The part can handle
large differential input voltages, even when the part is in high
gain, without damage.
The rest of the AD8420 terminals should be kept within the
supplies. All terminals of the AD8426 are protected against ESD.
For applications that require protection beyond the AD8420’s
limits, place diodes at the AD8420 inputs to limit voltage and
resistors in series with the inputs to limit the current into these
diodes. To keep input bias current at minimum, low leakage
diode clamps such as the BAV199 should be used. The AD8420
also combines well with TVS diodes such as the PTVSxS1UR.

Figure 5. Calculating Gain with Reference Resistance
Resistance at the reference pin does affect the AD8420’s gain,
but if this resistance is constant, the gain setting resistors can be
adjusted to compensate. For example, the AD8420 can be
driven with a voltage divider as shown in Figure 6.
