AD8231 Functional Diagram APPLICATIONS Pressure and Strain Transducers Thermocouples and RTDs Programmable Instrumentation Industrial Controls Weigh Scales GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8231 is a low drift, rail to rail, instrumentation amplifier with software programmable gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128. The gains are programmed via digital logic or pin strapping. The AD8231 is ideal for applications that require precision performance over a wide temperature range, such as industrial temperature sensing and data logging. Because the gain setting resistors are internal, maximum gain drift is only 10 ppm/ºC. Because of the autozero input stage, maximum input offset is 25 uV and maximum input offset drift is just 50 nV/ºC. CMRR is also guaranteed over temperature: 80 dB for G=1, increasing to 122 dB at a gain of 128. Voltage noise is just 0.7 uV p-p (0.01 Hz to 10 Hz). The AD8231 also includes an uncommitted op amp which can be used for additional gain, differential signal driving or filtering. Like the in amp, the op amp has an autozero architecture, rail to rail input, and rail to rail output. The AD8231 includes a shutdown feature that reduces current to 1 uA and makes the amplifier output high impedance. This allows easy multiplexing of multiple amplifiers without additional switches. The AD8231 is specified over the extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It is available in a 4mm x 4mm 16-Lead LFCSP (Chip Scale) package. Rev.

PrC | Page 6 of 8 Preliminary Data Sheet AD8231 GAIN SELECTION The AD8231’s gain is set by voltages applied to the A0, A1, and A2 pins. High (HI) or low (LO) voltage limits are listed in the specifications section. To change the gain, the WR pin must be driven low. When the WR pin is driven high, the gain is latched, and voltages at the A0-A2 pins will have no effect. Table 3 is the truth table showing the different gain settings. WR A2 A1 A0 Gain LO LO LO LO 1 LO LO LO HI 2 LO LO HI LO 4 LO LO HI HI 8 LO HI LO LO 16 LO HI LO HI 32 LO HI HI LO 64 LO HI HI HI 128 HI X X X No change Table 3 Truth table for AD8231’s gain settings Rev. PrC | Page 7 of 8 AD8231 Preliminary Data Sheet ESD 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 this product 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. Rev. PrC | Page 8 of 8 PR06586-0-1/07(PrC)
