GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8253 is an instrumentation amplifier with digitally
programmable gains that has gigaohm (GΩ) input impedance,
low output noise, and low distortion, making it suitable for
interfacing with sensors and driving high sample rate analog-todigital converters (ADCs).
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.

It has a high bandwidth of 10 MHz, low THD of −110 dB, and
fast settling time of 780 ns (maximum) to 0.001%. Offset drift and
gain drift are guaranteed 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 100 dB at G = 1000
from dc to 20 kHz. The combination of precision dc performance
coupled with high speed capabilities makes 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.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
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 of which is dissipated in the
load (VOUT × IOUT).

Temperature for specified performance is −40°C to +85°C. For performance
to +125°C, see the Typical Performance Characteristics 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 can 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 4 shows the maximum safe power dissipation in the
package vs. the ambient temperature on a 4-layer JEDEC
standard board.

Figure 51. Simplified Schematic
The AD8253 is a monolithic instrumentation amplifier based
on the classic 3-op-amp topology, as shown in Figure 51. 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 51).
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 a minimum CMRR of 100 dB for G = 1000. A pinout
optimized for high CMRR over frequency enables the AD8253
to offer a guaranteed minimum CMRR over frequency of 80 dB
at 20 kHz (G = 1). The balanced input reduces the parasitics
that in the past had adversely affected CMRR performance.
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 52
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 52
shows the AD8253 configured in transparent gain mode.

06983-051
This section describes 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: transparent gain mode and latched gain
mode. Regardless of the mode, pull-up or pull-down resistors
should be used to provide a well-defined voltage at the A0 and
A1 pins.

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 53 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.

On 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 on power-up.
Timing for Latched Gain Mode
In latched gain mode, logic levels at A0 and A1 must 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, 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 54.
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.

POWER SUPPLY REGULATION AND BYPASSING
The AD8253 has high PSRR. However, for optimal performance,
a stable dc voltage should be used to power the instrumentation
amplifier. Noise on the supply pins can adversely affect performance. As in all linear circuits, bypass capacitors must be
used to decouple the amplifier.

INPUT PROTECTION
All terminals of the AD8253 are protected against ESD. An external
resistor should be used in series with each of the inputs to limit
current for voltages greater than 0.5 V beyond either supply rail.
In such a case, the AD8253 safely handles a continuous 6 mA
current at room temperature. For applications where the AD8253
encounters extreme overload voltages, external series resistors
and low leakage diode clamps such as BAV199Ls, FJH1100s, or
SP720s should be used.

REFERENCE TERMINAL
Coupling Noise
The reference terminal, REF, is at one end of a 10 kΩ resistor
(see Figure 51). The instrumentation amplifier output is
referenced to the voltage on the REF terminal; this is useful
when the output signal needs to be offset to voltages other than
its local analog ground. For example, a voltage source can be
tied to the REF pin to level shift the output so that the AD8253
can interface with a single-supply ADC. The allowable reference
voltage range is a function of the gain, common-mode input,
and supply voltages. The REF pin should not exceed either +VS
or −VS by more than 0.5 V.
To prevent coupling noise onto the AD8253, follow these
guidelines:
For best performance, especially in cases where the output is
not measured with respect to the REF terminal, source impedance to the REF terminal should be kept low because parasitic
resistance can adversely affect CMRR and gain accuracy.
•

CORRECT

•
Do not run digital lines under the device.
Run the analog ground plane under the AD8253.
Shield fast-switching signals with digital ground to avoid
radiating noise to other sections of the board, and never
run them near analog signal paths.
Avoid crossover of digital and analog signals.
Connect digital and analog ground at one point only
(typically under the ADC).
Power supply lines should use large traces to ensure a low
impedance path. Decoupling is necessary; follow the
guidelines listed in the Power Supply Regulation and
Bypassing section.
Common-Mode Rejection
The AD8253 has high CMRR over frequency, giving it greater
immunity to disturbances, such as line noise and its associated
harmonics, in contrast to typical in amps whose CMRR falls off
around 200 Hz. They often need common-mode filters at the
inputs to compensate for this shortcoming. The AD8253 is able
to reject CMRR over a greater frequency range, reducing the
need for input common-mode filtering.

Figure 57. Driving the Reference Pin
COMMON-MODE INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
The 3-op-amp architecture of the AD8253 applies gain and then
removes the common-mode voltage. Therefore, internal nodes
in the AD8253 experience a combination of both the gained
signal and the common-mode signal. This combined signal can
be limited by the voltage supplies even when the individual
input and output signals are not. Figure 28 and Figure 29 show
the allowable common-mode input voltage ranges for various
output voltages, supply voltages, and gains.
LAYOUT
Grounding
In mixed-signal circuits, low level analog signals need to be
isolated from the noisy digital environment. Designing with the
AD8253 is no exception. Its supply voltages are referenced to an
analog ground. Its digital circuit is referenced to a digital ground.
Although it is convenient to tie both grounds to a single ground
plane, the current traveling through the ground wires and PC
board can cause an error. Therefore, use separate analog and
digital ground planes. Only at one point, star ground, should
analog and digital ground meet.
Careful board layout maximizes system performance. To maintain
high CMRR over frequency, lay out the input traces symmetrically.
Ensure that the traces maintain resistive and capacitive balance;
this holds for additional PCB metal layers under the input pins
and traces. Source resistance and capacitance should be placed
as close to the inputs as possible. Should a trace cross the inputs
(from another layer), it should be routed perpendicular to the
input traces.
RF INTERFERENCE
RF rectification is often a problem when amplifiers are used in
applications where there are strong RF signals. The disturbance
can appear as a small dc offset voltage. High frequency signals
can be filtered with a low-pass RC network placed at the input
of the instrumentation amplifier, as shown in Figure 58. The
filter limits the input signal bandwidth according to the following
relationship:
FilterFreq DIFF =
FilterFreq CM =
where CD ≥ 10 CC.
The output voltage of the AD8253 develops with respect to the
potential on the reference terminal. Take care to tie REF to the
appropriate local analog ground or to connect it to a voltage that
is referenced to the local analog ground.

Values of R and CC should be chosen to minimize RFI.
Mismatch between the R × CC at the positive input and the
R × CC at negative input degrades the CMRR of the AD8253.
By using a value of CD that is 10 times larger than the value of
CC, the effect of the mismatch is reduced and performance is
improved.

DRIVING AN ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER
DGND
10μF
An instrumentation amplifier is often used in front of an analogto-digital converter to provide CMRR. Usually, instrumentation
amplifiers require a buffer to drive an ADC. However, the low
output noise, low distortion, and low settle time of the AD8253
make it an excellent ADC driver.

In this example, a 1 nF capacitor and a 49.9 Ω resistor create an
antialiasing filter for the AD7612. The 1 nF capacitor also serves
to store and deliver necessary charge to the switched capacitor
input of the ADC. The 49.9 Ω series resistor reduces the burden
of the 1 nF load from the amplifier and isolates it from the kickback
current injected from the switched capacitor input of the AD7612.
Selecting too small a resistor improves the correlation between
the voltage at the output of the AD8253 and the voltage at the
input of the AD7612 but may destabilize the AD8253. A tradeoff must be made between selecting a resistor small enough to
maintain accuracy and large enough to maintain stability.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT
SETTING GAINS WITH A MICROCONTROLLER
+15V
In certain applications, it is necessary to create a differential
signal. High resolution analog-to-digital converters often require a
differential input. In other cases, transmission over a long distance
can require differential signals for better immunity to interference.

Figure 61 shows how to configure the AD8253 to output a
differential signal. An op amp, the AD8675, is used in an
inverting topology to create a differential voltage. VREF sets the
output midpoint according to the equation shown in the figure.
Errors from the op amp are common to both outputs and are
thus common mode. Likewise, errors from using mismatched
resistors cause a common-mode dc offset error. Such errors are
rejected in differential signal processing by differential input
ADCs or instrumentation amplifiers.

When using this circuit to drive a differential ADC, VREF can be
set using a resistor divider from the ADC reference to make the
output ratiometric with the ADC.

DATA ACQUISITION
AMPLITUDE (dB)
The AD8253 makes an excellent instrumentation amplifier
for use in data acquisition systems. Its wide bandwidth, low
distortion, low settling time, and low noise enable it to
condition signals in front of a variety of 16-bit ADCs.
Figure 63 shows the AD825x as part of a total data acquisition
system. The quick slew rate of the AD8253 allows it to condition
rapidly changing signals from the multiplexed inputs. An FPGA
controls the AD7612, AD8253, and ADG1209. In addition,
mechanical switches and jumpers allow users to pin strap the
gains when in transparent gain mode.
This system achieved −116 dB of THD at 1 kHz and a signal-tonoise ratio of 91 dB during testing, as shown in Figure 62.
