GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8224 is the first single-supply junction field effect
transistor (JFET) input instrumentation amplifier available in
the space-saving 16-lead, 4 mm×4 mm LFCSP. It requires the
same board area as a typical single instrumentation amplifier,
yet doubles the channel density and offers a lower cost per
channel without compromising performance.
Designed to meet the needs of high performance, portable
instrumentation, the AD8224 has a minimum common-mode
rejection ratio (CMRR) of 86 dB at dc and a minimum CMRR
of 80 dB at 5 kHz for G = 1. Maximum input bias current is
10 pA and typically remains below 300 pA over the entire
industrial temperature range. Despite the JFET inputs, the
AD8224 typically has a noise corner of only 10 Hz.
With the proliferation of mixed-signal processing, the number of
power supplies required in each system has grown.
Designed to alleviate this problem, the AD8224 can operate on a
±18 V dual supply, as well as on a single +5 V supply. The device’s
rail-to-rail output stage maximizes dynamic range on the low
voltage supplies common in portable applications. Its ability to run
on a single 5 V supply eliminates the need for higher voltage, dual
supplies. The AD8224 draws a maximum of 750 μA of quiescent
current per amplifier, making it ideal for battery-powered devices.
In addition, the AD8224 can be configured as a single-channel,
differential output instrumentation amplifier. Differential
outputs provide high noise immunity, which can be useful when
the output signal must travel through a noisy environment, such
as with remote sensors. The configuration can also be used to
drive differential input ADCs.
For a single-channel version, use the AD8220 device.

Refers to differential configuration shown in Figure 64.
Please refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 for the relationship between input current and temperature.
Differential and common-mode input impedance can be calculated from the pin impedance: ZDIFF = 2(ZPIN); ZCM = ZPIN/2.
4
The AD8224 can operate up to a diode drop below the negative supply but the bias current increases sharply. The input voltage range reflects the maximum
allowable voltage where the input bias current is within the specification.
5
At this supply voltage, ensure that the input common-mode voltage is within the input voltage range specification.
6
The AD8224 is characterized from −40°C to +125°C. See the Typical Performance Characteristics section for expected operation in this temperature range.

The maximum safe power dissipation for the AD8224 is limited
by the associated rise in junction temperature (TJ) on the die. At
approximately 130°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 amplifiers. Exceeding a temperature of 130°C for an
extended period can result in a loss of functionality.

package vs. the ambient temperature for the LFCSP on a 4-layer
JEDEC standard board.

Figure 57. Simplified Schematic
The AD8224 is a JFET input, monolithic instrumentation amplifier
based on the classic three op amp topology (see Figure 57). Input
Transistor J1 and Input Transistor J2 are biased at a fixed current so
that any input signal forces the output voltages of A1 and A2 to
change accordingly. The input signal creates a current through RG
that flows in R1 and R2 such that the outputs of A1 and A2 provide
the correct, gained signal. Topologically, J1, A1, R1 and J2, A2, R2
can be viewed as precision current feedback amplifiers with a gain
bandwidth of 1.5 MHz. The common-mode voltage and amplified
differential signal from A1 and A2 are applied to a difference
amplifier that rejects the common-mode voltage but amplifies the
differential signal. The difference amplifier employs 20 kΩ laser
trimmed resistors that result in an in-amp with gain error less than
0.04%. New trim techniques were developed to ensure that CMRR
exceeds 86 dB (G = 1).
Using JFET transistors, the AD8224 offers extremely high input
impedance, extremely low bias currents of 10 pA maximum,
low offset current of 0.6 pA maximum, and no input bias
current noise. In addition, input offset is less than 125 μV and
drift is less than 5 μV/°C. Ease of use and robustness were
considered. A common problem for instrumentation amplifiers
is that at high gains, when the input is overdriven, an excessive
milliampere input bias current can result and the output can
undergo phase reversal. Overdriving the input at high gains
refers to when the input signal is within the supply voltages but
the amplifier cannot output the gained signal. For example, at a
gain of 100, driving the amplifier with 10 V on ±15 V
constitutes overdriving the inputs since the amplifier cannot
output 100 V.
The AD8224 has none of these problems; its input bias current
is limited to less than 10 μA and the output does not phase
reverse under overdrive fault conditions.
The AD8224 has extremely low load induced nonlinearity. All
amplifiers that comprise the AD8224 have rail-to-rail output
capability for enhanced dynamic range. The input of the AD8224
can amplify signals with wide common-mode voltages even
slightly lower than the negative supply rail. The AD8224 operates
over a wide supply voltage range. It can operate from either a
single +4.5 V to +36 V supply or a dual ±2.25 V to ±18 V. The
transfer function of the AD8224 is
G =1+
49.4 kΩ
RG
Users can easily and accurately set the gain using a single,
standard resistor. Since the input amplifiers employ a current
feedback architecture, the AD8224 gain bandwidth product
increases with gain, resulting in a system that does not experience
as much bandwidth loss as voltage feedback architectures at
higher gains.
GAIN SELECTION
Placing a resistor across the RG terminals sets the gain of the
AD8224. This is calculated by referring to Table 11 or by using
the following gain equation.

The AD8224 is a high precision device. To ensure optimum
performance at the PC board level, care must be taken in the
design of the board layout. The AD8224 pinout is arranged in a
logical manner to aid in this task.

Package Considerations
The AD8224 is available in a 16-lead, 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP.
Blindly copying the footprint from another 4 mm × 4 mm
LFCSP part is not recommended; it may not have the same
thermal pad size and leads. Refer to the Outline Dimensions
section to verify that the PCB symbol has the correct dimensions.
Space between the leads and thermal pad should be kept as
wide as possible for the best bias current performance.
The AD8224 defaults to G = 1 when no gain resistor is used.
The tolerance and gain drift of the RG resistor should be added
to the AD8224’s specifications to determine the total gain
accuracy of the system. When the gain resistor is not used,
gain error and gain drift are kept to a minimum.
Thermal Pad
The AD8224’s 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP comes with a thermal pad.
This pad is connected internally to +VS. The pad can either be
left unconnected or connected to the positive supply rail.
REFERENCE TERMINAL
The output voltage of the AD8224 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 REF1 or REF2 pin
to level-shift the output so that the AD8224 can drive a singlesupply ADC. Pin REFx is protected with ESD diodes and should
not exceed either +VS or −VS by more than 0.5 V.
For best performance, source impedance to the REF terminal
should be kept below 1 Ω. As shown in Figure 57 the reference
terminal, REF, is at one end of a 20 kΩ resistor. Additional
impedance at the REF terminal adds to this 20 kΩ resistor and
results in amplification of the signal connected to the positive
input. The amplification from the additional RREF can be
computed by
The AD8224 has a higher CMRR over frequency than typical
in-amps, which gives it greater immunity to disturbances, such
as line noise and its associated harmonics. A well-implemented
layout is required to maintain this high performance. Input
source impedances should be matched closely. Source resistance
should be placed close to the inputs so that it interacts with as
little parasitic capacitance as possible.
Only the positive signal path is amplified; the negative path is
unaffected. This uneven amplification degrades the amplifier’s
CMRR.

VREF
Because the AD8224 dissipates little power, heat dissipation is
rarely an issue. If improved heat dissipation is desired (for example,
when driving heavy loads), connect the thermal pad to the
positive supply rail. For the best heat dissipation performance,
the positive supply rail should be a plane in the board. See
the section for thermal coefficients with and without the pad
soldered.

INCORRECT
To preserve maximum pin compatibility with future dual
instrumentation amplifiers, leave the pad unconnected. This
can be done by not soldering the paddle at all or by soldering
the part to a landing that is a not connected to any other net.
For high vibration applications, a landing is recommended.
Parasitics at the RGx pins can also affect CMRR over frequency.
The PCB should be laid out so that the parasitic capacitances at
each pin match. Traces from the gain setting resistor to the RGx
pins should be kept short to minimize parasitic inductance.

Power Supplies
INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN PATH
A stable dc voltage should be used to power the instrumentation
amplifier. Noise on the supply pins can adversely affect
performance.
The input bias current of the AD8224 must have a return path
to common. When the source, such as a transformer, cannot
provide a return current path, one should be created, as shown
in Figure 60.
The AD8224 has two positive supply pins (Pin 5 and Pin 16)
and two negative supply pins (Pin 8 and Pin 13). While the part
functions with only one pin from each supply pair connected,
both pins should be connected for specified performance and
optimum reliability.
The AD8224 should be decoupled with 0.1 μF bypass capacitors,
one for each supply. The positive supply decoupling capacitor
should be placed near Pin 16, and the negative supply
decoupling capacitor should be placed near Pin 8. Each supply
should also be decoupled with a 10 μF tantalum capacitor. The
tantalum capacitor can be placed further away from the
AD8224 and can generally be shared by other precision integrated
circuits. Figure 59 shows an example layout.
INPUT PROTECTION
All terminals of the AD8224 are protected against ESD. ESD
protection is guaranteed to 4 kV (human body model).In
addition, the input structure allows for dc overload conditions a
diode drop above the positive supply and a diode drop below
the negative supply. Voltages beyond a diode drop of the
supplies cause the ESD diodes to conduct and enable current to
flow through the diode. Therefore, an external resistor should
be used in series with each of the inputs to limit current for
voltages above +Vs. In either scenario, the AD8224 safely
handles a continuous 6 mA current at room temperature.
For applications where the AD8224 encounters extreme
overload voltages, as in cardiac defibrillators, external series
resistors and low leakage diode clamps, such as BAV199L,
FJH1100, or SP720, should be used.

RF INTERFERENCE
SOLDER WASH
The solder process can leave flux and other contaminants on
the board. When these contaminants are between the AD8224
leads and thermal pad, they can create leakage paths that are
larger than the AD8224’s bias currents. A thorough washing
process removes these contaminants and restores the device’s
excellent bias current performance.
RF rectification is often a problem in applications where there are
large RF signals. The problem appears as a small dc offset voltage.
The AD8224 by its nature has a 5 pF gate capacitance (CG) at its
inputs. Matched series resistors form a natural low-pass filter that
reduces rectification at high frequency (see Figure 61). The
relationship between external, matched series resistors and the
internal gate capacitance is expressed as follows:

Mismatched CC capacitors result in mismatched low-pass filters.
The imbalance causes the AD8224 to treat what would have
been a common-mode signal as a differential signal. To reduce
the effect of mismatched external CC capacitors, select a value of
CD greater than 10 times CC. This sets the differential filter
frequency lower than the common-mode frequency.

To eliminate high frequency common-mode signals while using

The three op amp architecture of the AD8224 applies gain and
then removes the common-mode voltage. Therefore, internal
nodes in the AD8224 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 26, Figure 27,
Figure 28, and Figure 29 show the allowable common-mode
input voltage ranges for various output voltages, supply voltages,
and gains.

APPLICATIONS
+IN
An instrumentation amplifier is often used in front of an analog-todigital converter to provide CMRR and additional conditioning
such as a voltage level shift and gain (see Figure 63). In this
example, a 2.7 nF capacitor and a 500 Ω resistor create an anti­
aliasing filter for the AD7685. The 2.7 nF capacitor also serves to
store and deliver necessary charge to the switched capacitor input
of the ADC. The 500 Ω series resistor reduces the burden of the
2.7 nF load from the amplifier. However, large source impedance in
front of the ADC can degrade total harmonic distortion (THD).

Setting the Common-Mode Voltage
The output common-mode voltage is set by the average of +IN2
and REF2. The transfer function is
VCM_OUT = (V+OUT + V−OUT)/2 = (V+IN2 + VREF2)/2
The differential configuration of the AD8224 has the same
excellent dc precision specifications as the single-ended output
configuration and is recommended for applications in the
frequency range of dc to 100 kHz.
The circuit configuration, outlined in Table 7, refers to the
configuration shown in Figure 64 only. The circuit includes an RC
filter that maintains the stability of the loop.
The transfer function for the differential output is:
VDIFF_OUT = V+OUT − V−OUT = (V+IN − V−IN) × G
A common application sets the common-mode output voltage
to the midscale of a differential ADC. In this case, the ADC
reference voltage is sent to the +IN2 terminal, and ground is
connected to the REF2 terminal. This produces a commonmode output voltage of half the ADC reference voltage.
2-Channel Differential Output Using a Dual Op Amp
DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT
Another differential output topology is shown in Figure 65.
Instead of a second in-amp, ½ of a dual OP2177 op amp creates
the inverted output. Because the OP2177 comes in an MSOP,
this configuration allows the creation of a dual channel,
precision differential output in-amp with little board area.
Errors from the op amp are common to both outputs and are
thus common mode. Errors from mismatched resistors also
create a common-mode dc offset. Because these errors are
common mode, they are likely to be rejected by the next device
in the signal chain.

For applications where THD performance is critical, the series
resistor needs to be small. At worst, a small series resistor can load
the AD8224, potentially causing the output to overshoot or ring.
In such cases, a buffer amplifier, such as the AD8615, should be
used after the AD8224 to drive the ADC.

Figure 66. Driving a Differential ADC
DRIVING A DIFFERENTIAL INPUT ADC
Reference
The AD8224 can be configured in differential output mode
to drive a differential analog-to-digital converter. Figure 66
illustrates several of the concepts.
The ADR435 supplies a reference voltage to both the ADC and
the AD8224. Because REF2 on the AD8224 is grounded, the
common-mode output voltage is precisely half the reference
voltage, exactly where it needs to be for the ADC.
The 1 kΩ resistor, 1000 pF capacitor, and 100 pF capacitors in
front of the in-amp form a 76 kHz filter. This is the first of two
antialiasing filters in the circuit and helps to reduce the noise of
the system. The 100 pF capacitors protect against commonmode RFI signals. Note that they are 5% COG/NPO types.
These capacitors match well over time and temperature, which
keeps the system’s CMRR high over frequency.
Second Antialiasing Filter
An 806 Ω resistor and 2.7 nF capacitor are located between each
AD8224 output and ADC input. They create a 73 kHz low-pass
filter for another stage of antialiasing protection.
DRIVING CABLING
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 AD8224 output response. To reduce
peaking, use a resistor between the AD8224 and the cable.
Because cable capacitance and desired output response vary
widely, this resistor is best determined empirically. A good
starting point is 50 Ω.
The AD8224 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.
These four elements also isolate the ADC from loading the
AD8224. The 806 Ω resistor shields the AD8224 from the
ADC’s switched capacitor input which looks like a time varying
load. The 2.7 nF capacitor provides charge to the switched
capacitor front end of the ADC. If the application requires a
lower frequency antialiasing filter, increase the value of the
capacitor rather than the resistor.
The 1 kΩ resistors can also protect an ADC from overvoltages.
Because the AD8224 runs on wider supply voltages than a
typical ADC, there is a possibility of overdriving the ADC. This
is not an issue with a PulSAR® converter, such as the AD7688.
Its input can handle a 130 mA overdrive, which is much higher
than the short-circuit limit of the AD8224. However, other
converters have less robust inputs and may need the added
protection.
