PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1.
Precision Tracking. The AD688 offers precision tracking
±10 V Kelvin output connections with no external
components. Tracking error is less than 1.5 mV and finetrim is available for applications requiring exact symmetry
between the +10 V and −10 V outputs.
2.
Accuracy. The AD688 offers 12-bit absolute accuracy
without any user adjustments. Optional fine-trim
connections are provided for applications requiring higher
precision. The fine-trimming does not alter the operating
conditions of the Zener or the buffer amplifiers and thus
does not increase the temperature drift.
3.
Low output noise. Output noise of the AD688 is low—
typically 6 μV p-p. A pin is provided for broadband noise
filtering using an external capacitor.

The AD688 is a high precision ±10 V tracking reference. Low
tracking error, low initial error, and low temperature drift give
the AD688 reference absolute ±10 V accuracy performance
previously unavailable in monolithic form. The AD688 uses a
proprietary ion-implanted buried Zener diode, and laser wafer
drift trimming of high stability thin-film resistors to provide
outstanding performance.
The low initial error allows the AD688 to be used as a system
reference in precision measurement applications requiring
12-bit absolute accuracy. In such systems, the AD688 can
provide a known voltage for system calibration; the cost of
periodic recalibration can therefore be eliminated.
Furthermore, the mechanical instability of a trimming
potentiometer and the potential for improper calibration can be
eliminated by using the AD688 and calibration software.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD688 includes the basic reference cell and three
additional amplifiers. The amplifiers are laser-trimmed for low
offset and low drift and maintain the accuracy of the reference.
The amplifiers are configured to allow Kelvin connections to
the load and/or boosters for driving long lines or high current
loads, delivering the full accuracy of the AD688 where it is
required in the application circuit.

AD688
THEORY OF OPERATION
Amplifier A1 performs several functions. A1 primarily acts to
amplify the Zener voltage to the required 20 V. In addition, A1
also provides for external adjustment of the 20 V output
through Pin 5 (GAIN ADJ). Using the bias compensation
resistor between the Zener output and the noninverting input to
A1, a capacitor can be added at the noise reduction pin (Pin 7)
to form a low-pass filter and reduce the noise contribution of
the Zener to the circuit. Two matched 12 kΩ nominal thin-film
resistors (R4 and R5) divide the 20 V output in half.
Amplifiers A3 and A4 are internally compensated and are used
to buffer the voltages at Pin 6 and Pin 8 as well as to provide a
full Kelvin output. Thus, the AD688 has a full Kelvin capability
by providing the means to sense a system ground, and forced
and sensed outputs referenced to that ground.

Ground sensing for the circuit is provided by amplifier A2. The
noninverting input (Pin 9) senses the system ground and forces
the midpoint of resistors R4 and R5 to be a virtual ground.
Pin 12 (BAL ADJ) can be used for fine adjustment of this
midpoint transfer.

The AD688 consists of a buried Zener diode reference,
amplifiers and associated thin-film resistors as shown in
Figure 3. The temperature compensation circuitry provides the
device with a temperature coefficient of 1.5 ppm/°C or less.

APPLICATIONS
voltage and the position of the center tap within the span. The
gain adjustment should be performed first. Although the trims
are not interactive within the device, the gain trim will move the
balance trim point as it changes the magnitude of the span.
The AD688 can be configured to provide ±10 V reference
outputs as shown in Figure 4. The architecture of the AD688
provides ground sense and uncommitted output buffer
amplifiers which offer the user a great deal of functional
flexibility. The AD688 is specified and tested in the
configuration shown in Figure 4. The user may choose to take
advantage of other configuration options available with the
AD688; however performance in these configurations is not
guaranteed to meet the stringent data sheet specifications.
Unbuffered outputs are available at Pin 6 and Pin 8. Loading of
these unbuffered outputs will impair circuit performance.
Amplifiers A3 and A4 can be used interchangeably. However,
the AD688 is tested (and the specifications are guaranteed) with
the amplifiers connected as indicated in Figure 4. When either
A3 or A4 is unused, its output force and sense pins should be
connected and the input tied to ground.
Two outputs of the same voltage polarity may be obtained by
connecting both A3 and A4 to the appropriate unbuffered
output on Pin 6 or Pin 8. Performance in these dual output
configurations will typically meet data sheet specifications.
Trimming the AD688 introduces no additional errors over
temperature, so precision potentiometers are not required.

Input impedance on both the GAIN ADJ and the BAL ADJ pins
is approximately 150 kΩ. The gain adjustment trim network
effectively attenuates the 20 V across the trim potentiometer by
a factor of about 1150 to provide a trim range of –5.8 mV to
+12.0 mV with a resolution of approximately 900 µV/turn
(20-turn potentiometer). The balance adjustment trim network
attenuates the trim voltage by a factor of about 1250, providing
a trim range of ±8 mV with a resolution of 800 µV/turn.

Generally, the AD688 will meet the requirements of a precision
system without additional adjustment. Initial output voltage
error of 2 mV and output noise specs of 6 µV p-p allow for
accuracies of 12 to 16 bits. However, in applications where an
even greater level of accuracy is required, additional calibration
may be called for. The provision for trimming has been made
through the use of the GAIN ADJ and BAL ADJ pins (Pin 5 and
Pin 12, respectively).
The AD688 provides a precision 20 V span with a center tap
which is used with the buffer and ground sense amplifiers to
achieve the ±10 V output configuration. GAIN ADJ and
BAL ADJ can be used to trim the magnitude of the 20 V span

Figure 5 shows the gain and balance trims of the AD688. A
100 kΩ 20-turn potentiometer is used for each trim. The
potentiometer for the gain trim is connected between Pin 6
(VHIGH) and Pin 8 (VLOW) with the wiper connected to Pin 5
(GAIN ADJ). The potentiometer is adjusted to produce exactly
20 V between Pin 1 and Pin 15, the amplifier outputs. The
balance potentiometer, also connected between Pin 6 and Pin 8
with the wiper to Pin 12 (BAL ADJ), is then adjusted to center
the span from +10 V to −10 V.

NOISE PERFORMANCE AND REDUCTION
The noise generated by the AD688 is typically less than
6 µV p-p over the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz band. Noise in a 1 MHz
bandwidth is approximately 840 µV p-p. The dominant source
of this noise is the buried Zener which contributes
approximately 140 nV/√Hz. In comparison, the op amp’s
contribution is negligible. Figure 6 shows the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz
noise of a typical AD688.

If further noise reduction is desired, an optional capacitor can
be added between the noise reduction pin and ground as shown
in Figure 5. This will form a low-pass filter with the 5 kΩ RB on
the output of the Zener cell. A 1 µF capacitor will have a 3 dB
point at 32 Hz and will reduce the high frequency noise (to
1 MHz) to about 250 µV p-p. Figure 7 shows the 1 MHz noise of
a typical AD688 both with and without a 1 µF capacitor.

Output turn on time is modified when an external noise
reduction capacitor is used. When present, this capacitor
presents an additional load to the internal Zener diode’s current
source, resulting in a somewhat longer turn on time. In the case
of a 1 µF capacitor, the initial turn on time is approximately
100 ms (Figure 10).

Upon application of power (cold start), the time required for
the output voltage to reach its final value within a specified
error is the turn on settling time. Two components normally
associated with this are: time for active circuits to settle and
time for thermal gradients on the chip to stabilize. Figure 8 and
Figure 9 show the turn on characteristics of the AD688. They
show the settling time to be about 600 µs. Note the absence of

Duplication of these results requires a combination of high

Evaluation of the AD688 will produce curves similar to those in
Figure 11, but output readings may vary depending on the test
methods and equipment utilized.
KELVIN CONNECTIONS
Force and sense connections, also referred to as Kelvin
connections, offer a convenient method of eliminating the
effects of voltage drops in circuit wires. As seen in Figure 13a,
the load current and wire resistance produce an error (VERROR =
R × IL) at the load. The Kelvin connection of Figure 13b
overcomes the problem by including the wire resistance within
the forcing loop of the amplifier and sensing the load voltage.
The amplifier corrects for any errors in the load voltage. In the
circuit shown, the output of the amplifier would actually be at
10 V + VERROR and the voltage at the load would be the desired
10 V.

Figure 11 shows the typical output voltage drift and illustrates
the test methodology. The box in Figure 11 is bounded on the
sides by the operating temperature extremes, and on top and
bottom by the maximum and minimum +10 V output error
voltages measured over the operating temperature range. The
slopes of the diagonals drawn for both the +10 V and –10 V
outputs determine the performance grade of the device.

The AD688 is designed for precision reference applications
where temperature performance is critical. Extensive
temperature testing ensures that the device’s high level of
performance is maintained over the operating temperature
range.
Figure 11. Typical AD688AQ Temperature Drift
Figure 13. Advantage of Kelvin Connection
Each AD688A and B grade unit is tested at −40°C, −25°C, 0°C,
+25°C, +50°C, +70°C, and +85°C. This approach ensures that
the variations of output voltage that occur as the temperature
changes within the specified range will be contained within a
box whose diagonal has a slope equal to the maximum specified
drift. The position of the box on the vertical scale will change
from device to device as initial error and the shape of the curve
vary. Maximum height of the box for the appropriate
temperature range is shown in Figure 12.
The AD688 has three amplifiers which can be used to
implement Kelvin connections. Amplifier A2 is dedicated to the
ground force-sense function while uncommitted amplifiers A3
and A4 are free for other force-sense chores.
In some applications, one amplifier may be unused. In such
cases, the unused amplifier should be connected as a unity-gain
follower (force and sense pins tied together) and the input
should be connected to ground.
An unused amplifier may be used for other circuit functions as
well. Figure 14 through Figure 19 show the typical performance
of A3 and A4.

In some applications, a varying load may be both resistive and
capacitive in nature, or may be connected to the AD688 by a
long capacitive cable. Figure 25 and Figure 26 display the output

Figure 23 and Figure 24 display the output amplifier
characteristic driving a 5 mA to 10 mA load, a common
situation found when the reference is shared among multiple
converters or is used to provide bipolar offset current.
Figure 27 and Figure 28 display the crosstalk between output
amplifiers. The top trace shows the output of A4, dc-coupled
and offset by 10 V, while the output of A3 is subjected to a 0 mA
to 10 mA load current step. The transient at A4 settles in about
1 µs, and the load-induced offset is about 100 µV.

BRIDGE DRIVER CIRCUIT
The Wheatstone bridge is a common transducer. In its simplest
form, a bridge consists of four 2-terminal elements connected to
form a quadrilateral, a source of excitation connected along one
of the diagonals and a detector comprising the other diagonal.

Figure 28. Load Crosstalk
Attempts to drive a large capacitive load (in excess of 1000 pF)
may result in ringing or oscillation, as shown in the step
response photo (Figure 29). This is due to the additional pole
formed by the load capacitance and the output impedance of
the amplifier, which consumes phase margin. The recommended method of driving capacitive loads of this magnitude is
shown in Figure 30. The 150 Ω resistor isolates the capacitive
load from the output stage, while the 10 kΩ resistor provides a
dc feedback path and preserves the output accuracy. The 1 µF
capacitor provides a high frequency feedback loop. The
performance of this circuit is shown in Figure 31.
In this unipolar drive configuration, the output voltage of the
bridge is riding on a common-mode voltage signal equal to
approximately VIN/2. Further processing of this signal may
necessarily be limited to high common-mode rejection
techniques such as instrumentation or isolation amplifiers.
However, if the bridge is driven from a pair of bipolar supplies,
then the common-mode voltage is ideally eliminated and the
restrictions on any processing elements that follow are relaxed.
As shown in Figure 32, the AD688 is an excellent choice for the
control element in a bipolar bridge driver scheme. Transistors
Q1 and Q2 serve as series pass elements to boost the current
drive capability to the 57 mA required by the typical 350 Ω
bridge. A differential gain stage may still be required if the
bridge balance is not perfect.
