GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8253 is an instrumentation amplifier with digitally
programmable gains that has GΩ input impedance, low output
noise, and low distortion making it suitable for interfacing with
sensors and driving high sample rate analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs). It has high bandwidth of 10 MHz, low THD and fast
settling time of 615 ns to 0.001%. Offset drift and gain drift are
specified to 1.2 μV/°C and 10 ppm/°C, respectively for G = 1000.
In addition to its wide input common voltage range, it boasts a
high common-mode rejection of 80 dB at G = 1 from dc to
50 kHz. The combination of precision dc performance coupled
with high speed capabilities make the AD8253 an excellent
candidate for data acquisition. Furthermore, this monolithic
solution simplifies design and manufacturing, and boosts
performance of instrumentation by maintaining a tight match
of internal resistors and amplifiers.

The AD8253 is available in a 10-lead MSOP package and is
specified over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range, making it
an excellent solution for applications where size and packing
density are important considerations.
The AD8253 user interface consists of a parallel port that allows
users to set the gain in one of two different ways (see Figure 1
for the functional block diagram). A 2-bit word sent via a bus
can be latched using the WR input. An alternative is to use
transparent gain mode where the state of logic levels at the gain
port determines the gain.

power is the voltage between the supply pins (VS) times the
quiescent current (IS). Assuming the load (RL) is referenced to
midsupply, the total drive power is VS/2 × IOUT, some of which is
dissipated in the package and some in the load (VOUT × IOUT).

Temperature for specified performance is −40°C to +85°C. For performance
to +125°C, see the Error! Reference source not found. section.
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum safe power dissipation in the AD8253 package is
limited by the associated rise in junction temperature (TJ) on
the die. The plastic encapsulating the die locally reaches the
junction temperature. At approximately 140°C, which is the
glass transition temperature, the plastic changes its properties.
Even temporarily exceeding this temperature limit may change
the stresses that the package exerts on the die, permanently
shifting the parametric performance of the AD8253. Exceeding
a junction temperature of 140°C for an extended period can
result in changes in silicon devices, potentially causing failure.
The still-air thermal properties of the package and PCB (θJA),
the ambient temperature (TA), and the total power dissipated in
the package (PD) determine the junction temperature of the die.
The junction temperature is calculated as
Airflow increases heat dissipation, effectively reducing θJA. In
addition, more metal directly in contact with the package leads
from metal traces, through holes, ground, and power planes
reduces the θJA.
Figure 3 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the
package vs. the ambient temperature on a 4-layer JEDEC
standard board.

Figure 5. Simplified Schematic
The AD8253 is a monolithic instrumentation amplifier based
on the classic, three op amp topology as shown in Figure 5.
It is fabricated on the Analog Devices, Inc. proprietary iCMOS
process that provides precision, linear performance ,and a robust
digital interface. A parallel interface allows users to digitally
program gains of 1, 10, 100, and 1000. Gain control is achieved
by switching resistors in an internal, precision, resistor array (as
shown in Figure 5). Although the AD8253 has a voltage feedback topology, gain bandwidth product increases for gains of 1,
10, and 100 because each gain has its own frequency
compensation. This results in maximum bandwidth at higher
gains.
Transparent Gain Mode
The easiest way to set the gain is to program it directly via a
logic high or logic low voltage applied to A0 and A1. Figure 6
shows an example of this gain setting method, referred to throughout the data sheet as transparent gain mode. Tie WR to the
negative supply to engage transparent gain mode. In this mode,
any change in voltage applied to A0 and A1 from logic low to
logic high, or vice versa, immediately results in a gain change.
Table 5 is the truth table for transparent gain mode and Figure 6
shows the AD8253 configured in transparent gain mode.
All internal amplifiers employ distortion cancellation circuitry
and achieve high linearity and ultralow THD. Laser trimmed
resistors allow for a maximum gain error of less than 0.03% for
G = 1, and minimum CMRR of 120 dB for G = 1000. A pinout
optimized for high CMRR over frequency enables the AD8253
to offer CMRR over frequency of 80 dB at 50 kHz (G = 1). The
balanced input reduces the parasitics that, in the past, had
adversely affected CMRR performance.
GAIN SELECTION
This section shows users how to configure the AD8253 for basic
operation. Logic low and Logic high voltage limits are listed in
the Specifications section. Typically, logic low is 0 V and
logic high is 5 V; both voltages are measured with respect
to DGND. Refer to the specifications table (Table 2) for
the permissible voltage range of DGND. The gain of the
AD8253 can be set using two methods.

Latched Gain Mode
Some applications have multiple programmable devices such as
multiplexers or other programmable gain instrumentation
amplifiers on the same PCB. In such cases, devices can share a
data bus. The gain of the AD8253 can be set using WR as a latch,
allowing other devices to share A0 and A1. Figure 7 shows a
schematic using this method, known as latched gain mode. The
AD8253 is in this mode when WR is held at logic high or logic
low, typically 5 V and 0 V, respectively. The voltages on A0 and
A1 are read on the downward edge of the WR signal as it
transitions from logic high to logic low. This latches in the logic
levels on A0 and A1, resulting in a gain change. See the truth
table listing in Table 6 for more on these gain changes.
1
X = don’t care.
Upon power-up, the AD8253 defaults to a gain of 1 when in
latched gain mode. In contrast, if the AD8253 is configured in
transparent gain mode, it starts at the gain indicated by the
voltage levels on A0 and A1 upon power-up.
Timing for Latched Gain Mode
In latched gain mode, logic levels at A0 and A1 have to be held
for a minimum setup time, tSU, before the downward edge of
WR latches in the gain. Similarly, they must be held for a
minimum hold time of tHD after the downward edge of WR to
ensure that the gain is latched in correctly. After tHD, A0 and A1
may change logic levels but the gain does not change (until the
next downward edge of WR). The minimum duration that WR
can be held high is t WR -HIGH, and t WR -LOW is the minimum
duration that WR can be held low. Digital timing specifications
are listed in Table 2. The time required for a gain change is
dominated by the settling time of the amplifier. A timing
diagram is shown in Figure 8.
When sharing a data bus with other devices, logic levels applied
to those devices can potentially feed through to the output of
the AD8253. Feedthrough can be minimized by decreasing the
edge rate of the logic signals. Furthermore, careful layout of the
PCB also reduces coupling between the digital and analog
portions of the board.
