GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8553 is a precision instrumentation amplifier featuring
low noise, rail-to-rail output and a power-saving shutdown
mode. The AD8553 also features low offset voltage and drift
coupled with high common-mode rejection. In shutdown
mode, the total supply current is reduced to less than 4 μA.
The AD8553 is capable of operating from 1.8 V to 5.5 V.
The small package and low power consumption allow
maximum channel density and minimum board size for
space-critical equipment and portable systems.
The AD8553 is specified over the industrial temperature range
from −40°C to +85°C. The AD8553 is available in a Pb-free,
10-lead MSOP.
With a low offset voltage of 20 μV, an offset voltage drift of
0.1 μV/°C, and a voltage noise of only 0.7 μV p-p (0.01 Hz to
10 Hz), the AD8553 is ideal for applications where error sources
cannot be tolerated. Precision instrumentation, position and
pressure sensors, medical instrumentation, and strain gauge
amplifiers benefit from the low noise, low input bias current,
and high common-mode rejection. The small footprint and low
cost are ideal for high volume applications.

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.

AD8553
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD8553 is a precision current-mode correction
instrumentation amplifier capable of single-supply operation.
The current-mode correction topology results in excellent
accuracy without the need for trimmed resistors on the die.
Figure 30 shows a simplified diagram illustrating the basic
operation of the AD8553 (without correction). The circuit
consists of a voltage-to-current amplifier (M1 to M6), followed
by a current-to-voltage amplifier (R2 and A1). Application of a
differential input voltage forces a current through External
Resistor R1, resulting in conversion of the input voltage to a
signal current. Transistor M3 to Transistor M6 transfer twice
this signal current to the inverting input of the op amp A1.
Amplifier A1 and External Resistor R2 form a current-tovoltage converter to produce a rail-to-rail output voltage at
VOUT.
Op amp A1 is a high precision auto-zero amplifier. This
amplifier preserves the performance of the autocorrecting,
current-mode amplifier topology while offering the user a true
voltage-in, voltage-out instrumentation amplifier. Offset errors
are corrected internally.
An external reference voltage is applied to the noninverting
input of A1 to set the output reference level. External Capacitor
C2 is used to filter out correction noise.
The pinout of the AD8553 allows the user to access the signal
current from the output of the voltage-to-current converter
(Pin 5). The user can choose to use the AD8553 as a currentoutput device instead of a voltage-output device. See Figure 35
for circuit connections.
HIGH PSR AND CMR
Common-mode rejection and power supply rejection indicate
the amount that the offset voltage of an amplifier changes when
its common-mode input voltage or power supply voltage changes.
The autocorrection architecture of the AD8553 continuously
corrects for offset errors, including those induced by changes in
input or supply voltage, resulting in exceptional rejection
performance. The continuous autocorrection provides great
CMR and PSR performances over the entire operating
temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
The parasitic resistance in series with R2 does not degrade
CMR but causes a small gain error and a very small offset error.
Therefore, an external buffer amplifier is not required to drive
the VREF pin to maintain excellent CMR performance. This
helps reduce system costs over conventional instrumentation
amplifiers.
1/f NOISE CORRECTION
Flicker noise, also known as 1/f noise, is noise inherent in the
physics of semiconductor devices and decreases 10 dB per
decade. The 1/f corner frequency of an amplifier is the frequency
at which the flicker noise is equal to the broadband noise of the
amplifier. At lower frequencies, flicker noise dominates causing
large errors in low frequency or dc applications.
Flicker noise is seen effectively as a slowly varying offset error,
which is reduced by the autocorrection topology of the AD8553.
This allows the AD8553 to have lower noise near dc than
standard low noise instrumentation amplifiers.

APPLICATIONS
GAIN SELECTION (GAIN-SETTING RESISTORS)
DISABLE FUNCTION
The gain of the AD8553 is set according to
The AD8553 provides a shutdown function to conserve power
when the device is not needed. Although there is a 1 μA pull-up
current on the ENABLE pin, Pin 6 should be connected to the
positive supply for normal operation and to the negative supply
to turn the device off. It is not recommended to leave Pin 6
floating.
G = 2 × (R2/R1)
(1)
Table 5 lists the recommended resistor values. Resistor R1 must
be at least 3.92 kΩ for proper operation. Use of resistors larger
than the recommended values results in higher offset and
higher noise.
Gain accuracy depends on the matching of R1 and R2. Any
mismatch in resistor values results in a gain error. Resistor
value errors due to drift affect gain by the amount indicated by
Equation 1. However, due to the current-mode operation of the
AD8553, a mismatch in R1 and R2 does not degrade the CMR.
Care should be taken when selecting and positioning the gain
setting resistors. The resistors should be made of the same
material and package style. Surface-mount resistors are
recommended. They should be positioned as close together
as possible to minimize TC errors.
To maintain good CMR vs. frequency, the parasitic capacitance
on the R1 gain setting pins should be minimized and matched.
This also helps maintain a low gain error at G < 10.
If resistor trimming is required to set a precise gain, trim
Resistor R2 only. Using a potentiometer for R1 degrades the
amplifier’s performance.
REFERENCE CONNECTION
Unlike traditional three op amp instrumentation amplifiers,
parasitic resistance in series with VREF (Pin 7) does not degrade
CMR performance. This allows the AD8553 to attain its extremely
high CMR performance without the use of an external buffer
amplifier to drive the VREF pin, which is required by industrystandard instrumentation amplifiers. This helps save valuable
printed circuit board space and minimizes system costs.
For optimal performance in single-supply applications, VREF
should be set with a low noise precision voltage reference.
However, for a lower system cost, the reference voltage can be
set with a simple resistor voltage divider between the supply and
ground (see Figure 31). This configuration results in degraded
output offset performance if the resistors deviate from their
ideal values. In dual-supply applications, VREF can simply be
connected to ground.
The VREF pin current is approximately 20 pA, and as a result, an
external buffer is not required.
Turn-on time upon switching Pin 6 high is dominated by the
output filters. When the device is disabled, the output becomes
high impedance enabling muxing application of multiple
AD8553 instrumentation amplifiers.
OUTPUT FILTERING
Filter Capacitor C2 is required to limit the amount of switching
noise present at the output. The recommended bandwidth of
the filter created by C2 and R2 is 1.4 kHz. The user should first
select R1 and R2 based on the desired gain, then select C2 based on
C2 = 1/(1400 × 2 × π × R2)
(2)
Addition of another single-pole RC filter of 1.4 kHz on the
output (R3 and C3 in Figure 31 to Figure 33) is required for
bandwidths greater than 10 Hz. These two filters produce an
overall bandwidth of 1 kHz.
When driving an ADC, the recommended values for the second
filter are R3 = 100 Ω and C3 = 1 μF. This filter is required to
achieve the specified performance. It also acts as an antialiasing
filter for the ADC. If a sampling ADC is not being driven, the
value of the capacitor can be reduced, but the filter frequency
should remain unchanged.
For applications with low bandwidths (<10 Hz), only the first
filter is required. In this case, the high frequency noise from the
auto-zero amplifier (output amplifier) is not filtered before the
following stage.
CLOCK FEEDTHROUGH
The AD8553 uses two synchronized clocks to perform the
autocorrection. The input voltage-to-current amplifiers are
corrected at 60 kHz.
Trace amounts of these clock frequencies can be observed at the
output. The amount of feedthrough is dependent upon the gain,
because the autocorrection noise has an input and output
referred term. The correction feedthrough is also dependent
upon the values of the external filters R2/C2, and R3/C3.
LOW IMPEDANCE OUTPUT
For applications where a low output impedance is required, the
circuit in Figure 33 should be used. This provides the same
filtering performance as shown in the configuration in Figure 34.

MAXIMIZING PERFORMANCE THROUGH PROPER
LAYOUT
For single-supply operation, a 0.1 μF surface-mount capacitor
should be connected from the supply line to ground.
To achieve the maximum performance of the AD8553, care
should be taken in the circuit board layout. The PC board
surface must remain clean and free of moisture to avoid leakage
currents between adjacent traces. Surface coating of the circuit
board reduces surface moisture and provides a humidity barrier,
reducing parasitic resistance on the board.
All bypass capacitors should be positioned as close to the DUT
supply pins as possible, especially the bypass capacitor between
the supplies. Placement of the bypass capacitor on the back of
the board directly under the DUT is preferred.
INPUT OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
All terminals of the AD8553 are protected against ESD. In the
case of a dc overload voltage beyond either supply, a large
current would flow directly through the ESD protection diodes.
If such a condition should occur, an external resistor should be
used in series with the inputs to limit current for voltages
beyond the supply rails. The AD8553 can safely handle 5 mA of
continuous current, resulting in an external resistor selection of
REXT = (VIN − VS)/5 mA.
Care must be taken to minimize parasitic capacitance on Pin 1
and Pin 10 (Resistor R1 connections). Traces from Pin 1 and
Pin 10 to R1 should be kept short and symmetric. Excessive
capacitance on these pins will result in a gain error. This effect
is most prominent at low gains (G < 10).
For high impedance sources, the PC board traces from the
AD8553 inputs should be kept to a minimum to reduce input
bias current errors.
CAPACITIVE LOAD DRIVE
POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING
The output buffer, Pin 4, can drive capacitive loads up to 100 pF.
The AD8553 uses internally generated clock signals to perform
the autocorrection. As a result, proper bypassing is necessary to
achieve optimum performance. Inadequate or improper bypassing
of the supply lines can lead to excessive noise and offset voltage.
A 0.1 μF surface-mount capacitor should be connected between
the supply lines. This capacitor is necessary to minimize ripple
from the correction clocks inside the IC. For dual-supply
operation (see Figure 33), a 0.1 μF (ceramic) surface-mount
capacitor should be connected from each supply pin to ground.
