GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8223 is an integrated single-supply instrumentation
amplifier that delivers rail-to-rail output swing on a single
supply (3 V to 24 V). The AD8223 conforms to the 8-lead
industry standard pinout configuration.
The AD8223 is simple to use: one resistor sets the gain. With no
external resistor, the AD8223 is configured for G = 5. With an
external resistor, the AD8223 can be programmed for gains up
to 1000.
The AD8223 has a wide input common-mode range and can
amplify signals that have a 150 mV common-mode voltage
below ground. Although the design of the AD8223 is optimized
to operate from a single supply, the AD8223 still provides
excellent performance when operated from a dual voltage
supply (±2 V to ±12 V).
Low power consumption (1.5 mW at 3 V), wide supply voltage
range, and rail-to-rail output swing make the AD8223 ideal for
battery-powered applications. The rail-to-rail output stage
maximizes the dynamic range when operating from low supply
voltages. The AD8223 replaces discrete instrumentation
amplifier designs and offers superior linearity, temperature
stability, and reliability in a minimum of space.

Because maximum supply voltage is 24 V between the negative and positive supply, these specifications at ±12V are at the part’s limit. Operation at a nominal supply
voltage slightly less than ±12 V is recommended to allow for power supply tolerances.
Does not include effects of external resistor, RG.

Total input range depends on common-mode voltage, differential voltage, and gain. See Figure 18 through Figure 21 and the Input Voltage Range section in the

AD8223
THEORY OF OPERATION
AMPLIFIER ARCHITECTURE
GAIN SELECTION
The AD8223 is an instrumentation amplifier based on a
classic 3-op amp approach, modified to ensure operation
even at common-mode voltages at the negative supply rail.
The architecture allows lower voltage offsets, better CMRR,
and higher gain accuracy than competing instrumentation
amplifiers in its class.
Placing a resistor across the RG terminals sets the gain of the
AD8223, which can be calculated by referring to Table 7 or by
using the following gain equation:

Figure 31. Simplified Schematic
Figure 31 shows a simplified schematic of the AD8223. The
AD8223 has three stages. In the first stage, the input signal is
applied to PNP transistors. These PNP transistors act as voltage
buffers and allow input voltages below ground. The second
stage consists of a pair of 8 kΩ resistors, the RG resistor, and a
pair of amplifiers. This stage allows the amplification of the
AD8223 to be set with a single external resistor. The third stage
is a differential amplifier composed of an op amp, two 10 kΩ
resistors, and two 50 kΩ resistors. This stage removes the
common-mode signal and applies an additional gain of 5.
The transfer function of the AD8223 is
VOUT = G(VIN+ − VIN−) + VREF
where:

The AD8223 defaults to G = 5 when no gain resistor is used. Add
the tolerance and gain drift of the RG resistor to the specifications
of the AD8223 to determine the total gain accuracy of the system.
When the gain resistor is not used, gain depends only on
internal resistor matching, so gain error and gain drift are
minimal.
INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
The 3-op amp architecture of the AD8223 applies gain and then
removes the common-mode voltage. Therefore, internal nodes
in the AD8223 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. To determine whether the signal can be
limited, refer to Figure 18 through Figure 21. Alternatively, use
the parameters in the Specifications section to verify that the input
and output are not limited and then use the following formula to
make sure the internal nodes are not limited.
To check if it is limited by the internal nodes,
 VS  0.01 V  0.6  VCM 
VDIFF  Gain
10
  VS  0.1 V
If more common-mode range is required, a solution is to apply less
gain in the instrumentation amplifier and more in a later stage.

AD8223
REFERENCE TERMINAL
RF INTERFERENCE (RFI)
The output voltage of the AD8223 is developed with respect to
the potential on the reference terminal. This is useful when the
output signal needs to be offset to a precise midsupply level. For
example, a voltage source can be tied to the REF pin to levelshift the output so that the AD8223 can drive a single-supply
ADC. The REF pin is protected with ESD diodes and should
not exceed either +VS or −VS by more than 0.3 V.
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, R-C network placed at the input
of the instrumentation amplifier, as shown in Figure 34. The
filter limits the input signal bandwidth according to the following relationship:
For best performance, keep the source impedance to the REF
terminal below 5 Ω. As shown in Figure 31, the reference
terminal, REF, is at one end of a 50 kΩ resistor. Additional
impedance at the REF terminal adds to this resistor and results
in poorer CMRR performance.

INPUT PROTECTION
Internal supply referenced clamping diodes allow the input,
reference, output, and gain terminals of the AD8223 to safely
withstand overvoltages of 0.3 V above or below the supplies.
This is true for all gains, and for power-on and power-off. This
last case is particularly important because the signal source and
amplifier can be powered separately.
If the overvoltage is expected to exceed this value, limit the
current through these diodes to about 10 mA using external
current limiting resistors. This is shown in Figure 33. The size
of this resistor is defined by the supply voltage and the required
overvoltage protection.

Figure 34. RFI Suppression
Figure 34 shows an example in which the differential filter frequency is approximately 400 Hz, and the common-mode filter
frequency is approximately 40 kHz. The typical dc offset shift
over frequency is less than 1.5 μV, and the RF signal rejection
of the circuit is better than 71 dB.
The resistors were selected to be large enough to isolate the
circuit input from the capacitors but not large enough to
significantly increase the circuit noise. Choose values of R and
CC to minimize RFI. Mismatch between the R × CC at positive
input and the R × CC at negative input degrades the CMRR of
the AD8223. Because of their higher accuracy and stability,
COG/NPO type ceramic capacitors are recommended for the
CC capacitors. The dielectric for the CD capacitor is not as
critical.

GROUND RETURNS FOR INPUT BIAS CURRENTS

Input bias currents are those dc currents that must flow to bias
the input transistors of an amplifier. These are usually transistor
base currents. When amplifying floating input sources such as
transformers or ac-coupled sources, there must be a direct dc
path into each input so that the bias current can flow. Figure 35
shows how a bias current path can be provided for the cases of
transformer coupling, capacitive ac-coupling, and a thermocouple application.

In dc-coupled resistive bridge applications, providing this path
is generally not necessary because the bias current simply flows
from the bridge supply through the bridge and into the amplifier.
However, if the impedances that the two inputs see are large and
differ by a large amount (>10 kΩ), the offset current of the input
stage causes dc errors proportional to the input offset voltage of
the amplifier.

BASIC CONNECTION
OUTPUT BUFFERING
Figure 36 shows the basic connection circuit for the AD8223.
The +VS and −VS terminals are connected to the power supply.
The supply can be either bipolar (VS = ±2 V to ±12 V) or single
supply (−VS = 0 V, +VS = +3 V to +24 V). Power supplies should
be capacitively decoupled close to the power pins of the device.
For best results, use surface-mount 0.1 μF ceramic chip capacitors
and 10 μF electrolytic tantalum capacitors.
The AD8223 is designed to drive loads of 10 kΩ or greater. If
the load is less than this value, buffer the AD8223 output with a
precision single-supply op amp such as the OP113. This op amp
can swing from 0 V to 4 V on its output while driving a load as
small as 600 Ω.
5V
0.1µF
The input voltage, which can be either single-ended (tie either
−IN or +IN to ground) or differential, is amplified by the
programmed gain. The output signal appears as the voltage
difference between the output pin and the externally applied
voltage on the REF input.

minimizing the capacitance mismatch between the inputs.

Figure 37 shows how to create a differential output in-amp. An
OP1177 op amp creates the inverted output. Because the op
amp drives the AD8223 reference pin, the AD8223 can still
ensure that the differential voltage is correct. Errors from the
op amp or mismatched resistors are common to both outputs
and are thus common mode. These common-mode errors
should be rejected by the next device in the signal chain.

Driving a Cable
All cables have a certain capacitance per unit length, which
varies widely with cable type. The capacitive load from the
cable may cause peaking in the output response of the AD8223.
To reduce the peaking, use a resistor between the AD8223 and
the cable. Because cable capacitance and desired output response
vary widely, this resistor is best determined empirically. A good
starting point is 75 Ω.
The AD8232 operates at a low enough frequency that transmission
line effects are rarely an issue; therefore, the resistor need not
match the characteristic impedance of the cable.
The bridge circuit is excited by a +5 V supply. The full-scale output
voltage from the bridge (±10 mV), therefore, has a commonmode level of 2.5 V. The AD8223 removes the common-mode
component and amplifies the input signal by a factor of 100
(RG = 1.02 kΩ). This results in an output signal of ±1 V. To
prevent this signal from running into the AD8223 ground rail, the
voltage on the REF pin must be raised to at least 1 V. In this
example, the 2 V reference voltage from the AD7776 ADC is
used to bias the AD8223 output voltage to 2 V ± 1 V, which
corresponds to the input range of the ADC.
AMPLIFYING SIGNALS WITH LOW COMMONMODE VOLTAGE
Because the common-mode input range of the AD8223 extends
0.15 V below ground, it is possible to measure small differential
signals that have low, or no, common-mode components. Figure 42
shows a thermocouple application in which one side of the J-type
thermocouple is grounded.

Over a temperature range of −200°C to +200°C, the J-type
thermocouple delivers a voltage ranging from −7.890 mV
to +10.777 mV. A programmed gain on the AD8223 of 100
(RG = 845) and a voltage on the AD8223 REF pin of 2 V results
in the AD8223 output voltage ranging from 1.110 V to 3.077 V
relative to ground.
Interfacing bipolar signals to single-supply analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) presents a challenge. The bipolar signal
must be mapped into the input range of the ADC. Figure 41
shows how this translation can be achieved.
