GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD215 is a high speed input isolation amplifier designed to
isolate and amplify wide bandwidth analog signals. The innovative circuit and transformer design of the AD215 ensures wideband dynamic characteristics while preserving key dc performance
specifications.
The AD215 provides complete galvanic isolation between the
input and output of the device including the user-available
front-end isolated power supplies. The functionally complete
design, powered by a ± 15 V dc supply, eliminates the need for a
user supplied isolated dc/dc converter. This permits the designer
to minimize circuit overhead and reduce overall system design
complexity and component costs.
The design of the AD215 emphasizes maximum flexibility and
ease of use in a broad range of applications where fast analog
signals must be measured under high common-mode voltage
(CMV) conditions. The AD215 has a ± 10 V input/output
range, a specified gain range of 1 V/V to 10 V/V, a buffered output with offset trim and a user-available isolated front-end
power supply which produces ± 15 V dc at ± 10 mA.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
High Speed Dynamic Characteristics: The AD215 features
a typical full-power bandwidth of 120 kHz (100 kHz min), rise
time of 3 µs and settling time of 9 µs. The high speed performance of the AD215 allows for unsurpassed galvanic isolation
of virtually any wideband dynamic signal.

Flexible Input and Buffered Output Stages: An uncommitted op amp is provided on the input stage of the AD215 to
allow for input buffering or amplification and signal conditioning. The AD215 also features a buffered output stage to drive
low impedance loads and an output voltage trim for zeroing the
output offset where needed.
High Accuracy: The AD215 has a typical nonlinearity of
± 0.005% (B grade) of full-scale range and the total harmonic
distortion is typically –80 dB at 1 kHz. The AD215 provides
designers with complete isolation of the desired signal without
loss of signal integrity or quality.
Excellent Common-Mode Performance: The AD215BY
(AD215AY) provides 1,500 V rms (750 V rms) common-mode
voltage protection from its input to output. Both grades feature
a low common-mode capacitance of 4.5 pF inclusive of the
dc/dc power isolation. This results in a typical common-mode
rejection specification of 105 dB and a low leakage current of
2.0 µA rms max (240 V rms, 60 Hz).
Isolated Power: An unregulated isolated power supply of
± 15 V dc @ ± 10 mA is available at the isolated input port of
the AD215. This permits the use of ancillary isolated front-end
amplifiers or signal conditioning components without the need
for a separate dc/dc supply. Even the excitation of transducers
can be accomplished in most applications.
Rated Performance over the –408C to +858C Temperature
Range: With an extended industrial temperature range rating,
the AD215 is an ideal isolation solution for use in many industrial environments.

NOTES
11
The gain range of the AD215 is specified from 1 to 10 V/V. The AD215 can also be used with gains of up to 100 V/V. With a gain of 100 V/V a 20% reduction in the
–3 dB bandwidth specification occurs and the nonlinearity degrades to ± 0.02% typical.
12
When the isolated supply load exceeds ± 1 mA, external filter capacitors are required in order to ensure that the gain, offset, and nonlinearity specifications are preserved and to maintain the isolated supply full load ripple below the specified 50 mV rms. A value of 6.8 µF is recommended.
13
Nonlinearity is specified as a percent (of full-scale range) deviation from a best straight line.
14
The isolation barrier (and rating) of every AD215 is 100% tested in production using a 5 second partial discharge test with a failure detection threshold of 150 pC. All
“B” grade devices are tested with a minimum voltage of 1,800 V rms. All “A” grade devices are tested with a minimum voltage of 850 V rms.
15
The AD215 should be allowed to warm up for approximately 10 minutes before any gain and/or offset adjustments are made.
16
Equivalent to a 0.8 degrees phase shift.
17
With the ± 15 V dc power supply pins bypassed by 2.2 µF capacitors at the AD215 pins.
18
Caution: The AD215 design does not provide short circuit protection of its isolated power supply. A current limiting resistor may be placed in series with the isolated
power terminals and the load in order to protect the supply against inadvertent shorts.
19
With an input power supply voltage greater than or equal ± 15 V dc, the AD215 may supply up to ± 15 mA from the isolated power supplies.
10
Voltages less than 14.25 V dc may cause the AD215 to cease operating properly. Voltages greater than ± 17.5 V dc may damage the internal components of the
AD215 and consequently should not be used.
Specifications subject to change without notice.
CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD215 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

The AD215 is a fully self-contained analog signal and power
isolation solution. It employs a double-balanced amplitude
modulation technique to perform transformer coupling of signals ranging in frequency from true dc values to those having
frequencies of 120 kHz or less.
To generate the power supplies used for the isolated front-end
circuitry, an internal clock oscillator drives the primary winding
of the integral dc/dc power supply’s transformer, T2. The
resultant voltage developed across the secondary winding is
then rectified and filtered for use as the isolated power supply.

This built-in isolated dc/dc converter provides sufficient power
for both the internal isolated circuit elements of the AD215 as
well as any ancillary components supplied by the user. It saves
onboard space and component cost where additional amplification or signal conditioning is required.
After an input signal is amplified by the uncommitted op amp,
it is modulated at a carrier frequency of approximately 430 kHz
and applied across the primary winding of the signal isolation
transformer T1.
The resultant signal induced on the secondary winding of the
transformer is then demodulated and filtered using a low-pass
Bessel response filter set at a frequency of 150 kHz. The function of the filter reconstructs the original signal as it appears on
the input.

The signal transformer design and construction allow nonlinearity to be independent of both the specified temperature
and gain ranges.
After complete reconstruction, the signal is subjected to an offset trim stage and final output buffer. The trim circuit allows
the designer flexibility to adjust for any offset as desired.

POWERING THE AD215
The AD215 is powered by a bipolar ± 15 V dc power supply
connected as shown in Figure 11. External bypass capacitors
should be provided in bused applications. Note that a small
signal-related current (50 mA/VOUT) will flow out of the OUT
LO pin (Pin 37). Therefore, the OUT LO terminals should be
bused together and referenced at a single “Analog Star Ground”
to the ± 15 V dc supply common as illustrated Figure 11.

• The current drawn in RF is less than 1 mA at ± 10 V. Note that
for each mA drawn by the feedback resistor, the isolated

• Amplifier gain is set by the feedback (RF) and gain resistor

It is recommended that RF is bypassed with a 47 pF capacitor as
shown.
Note: The 2 kΩ input resistor (RIN) in series with the input

The AD215 features an output stage TRIM pin useful for zeroing the output offset voltage through use of user supplied circuitry.
When gain and offset adjustments are required, the actual compensation circuit ultimately used depends on the following:
• The input configuration mode of the isolation amplifier (noninverting or inverting).
• The placement of any adjusting potentiometer (on the
isolator’s input or output side).
Ø, EXCESS PHASE – Degrees
AVERAGE VOLTAGE GAIN – dB
The open-loop gain and phase versus frequency for the uncommitted input op amp are given in Figure 14. These curves can
be used to determine appropriate values for the feedback resistor (RF) and compensation capacitor (CF) to ensure frequency
stability when reactive or nonlinear components are used.
As a general rule:
• Gain adjustments should be accomplished at the gain-setting
resistor network at the isolator’s input.
• To ensure stability in the gain adjustment, potentiometers
should be located as close as possible to the isolator’s input
and its impedance should be kept low. Adjustment ranges
should also be kept to a minimum since their resolution and
stability is dependent upon the actual potentiometers used.

• Output adjustments may be necessary where adjusting potentiometers placed near the input would present a hazard to the
user due to the presence of high common-mode voltages during the adjustment procedure.

The circuit of Figure 15 can also be used when the input signal
is larger than the ±10 V input range of the isolator. For example,
in Figure 15, if only VS1, RS1 and RF were connected as shown
with the solid lines, the input voltage span of VS1 could accommodate up to ± 50 V when RF = 10 kΩ and RS1 = 50 kΩ.

Figure 18 illustrates one method of adjusting the output offset
voltage. Since the AD215 exhibits a nominal output offset of
–35 mV, the circuit shown was chosen to yield an offset correction of 0 mV to +73 mV. This results in a total output offset
range of approximately –35 mV to +38 mV.

CAUTION
The AD215 design does not provide short-circuit protection of
its isolated power supply. A current limiting resistor should be
placed in series with the supply terminals and the load in order
to protect against inadvertent shorts.
Since the output amplifier stage of the AD215 is fixed at unity
gain, any adjustments can be made only in a subsequent stage.

APPLICATIONS EXAMPLES
Motor Control
Using two strain gages with a gage factor of 3 mV/V and a
± 1.2 V excitation signal, a ± 6.6 mV output signal will result. A
gain setting of 454 will scale this low level signal to ± 3 V, which
can then be digitized by a high speed, 100 kHz sampling ADC
such as the AD7870.
Figure 21 shows an AD215 used in a dc motor control application. Its excellent phase characteristics and wide bandwidth are
ideal for this type of application.

In applications such as vibration analysis, where the user must
acquire and process the spectral content of a sensor’s signal
rather than its “dc” level, the wideband characteristics of the
AD215 prove most useful. Key specifications for ac transducer
applications include bandwidth, slew rate and harmonic distortion. Since the transducer may be mechanically bonded or
welded to the object under test, isolation is typically required to
eliminate ground loops as well as protect the electronics used in
the data acquisition system. Figure 23 shows an isolated strain
gage circuit employing the AD215 and a high speed operational
amplifier (AD744).
To alleviate the need for an instrumentation amplifier, the
bridge is powered by a bipolar excitation source. Under this approach the common-mode voltage is ± VSPAN which is typically
only a few millivolts, rather than the VEXC 4 2 that would be
achieved with a unipolar excitation source and Wheatstone
bridge configuration.

The low voltage excitation is used to permit the front-end circuitry to be powered from the isolated power supplies of the
AD215, which can supply up to ± 10 mA of isolated power at
± 15 V. The bridge draws only 3.5 mA, leaving sufficient current to power the micropower dual BiFET (400 µA quiescent
current) and the high speed AD744 BiFET amplifier (4 mA
quiescent current).

Multichannel Data Acquisition
The current drive capabilities of the AD215’s bipolar ± 15 V dc
isolated power supply is more than adequate to meet the modest
± 800 µA supply current requirements for the AD7502 multiplexer. Digital isolation techniques should be employed to isolate the Enable (EN), A0 and A1 logic control signals.
