PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD620 is a low cost, high accuracy instrumentation
amplifier that requires only one external resistor to set gains of
1 to 10,000. Furthermore, the AD620 features 8-lead SOIC and
DIP packaging that is smaller than discrete designs and offers
lower power (only 1.3 mA max supply current), making it a
good fit for battery-powered, portable (or remote) applications.
The AD620, with its high accuracy of 40 ppm maximum
nonlinearity, low offset voltage of 50 μV max, and offset drift of
0.6 μV/°C max, is ideal for use in precision data acquisition
systems, such as weigh scales and transducer interfaces.
Furthermore, the low noise, low input bias current, and low power
of the AD620 make it well suited for medical applications, such
as ECG and noninvasive blood pressure monitors.
The low input bias current of 1.0 nA max is made possible with
the use of Superϐeta processing in the input stage. The AD620
works well as a preamplifier due to its low input voltage noise of
9 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz, 0.28 μV p-p in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz band,
and 0.1 pA/√Hz input current noise. Also, the AD620 is well
suited for multiplexed applications with its settling time of 15 μs
to 0.01%, and its cost is low enough to enable designs with one
in-amp per channel.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The input transistors Q1 and Q2 provide a single differentialpair bipolar input for high precision (Figure 36), yet offer 10×
lower input bias current thanks to Superϐeta processing.
Feedback through the Q1-A1-R1 loop and the Q2-A2-R2 loop
maintains constant collector current of the input devices Q1
and Q2, thereby impressing the input voltage across the external
gain setting resistor RG. This creates a differential gain from the
inputs to the A1/A2 outputs given by G = (R1 + R2)/RG + 1. The
unity-gain subtractor, A3, removes any common-mode signal,
yielding a single-ended output referred to the REF pin potential.

Figure 36. Simplified Schematic of AD620
The AD620 is a monolithic instrumentation amplifier based on
a modification of the classic three op amp approach. Absolute
value trimming allows the user to program gain accurately
(to 0.15% at G = 100) with only one resistor. Monolithic
construction and laser wafer trimming allow the tight matching
and tracking of circuit components, thus ensuring the high level
of performance inherent in this circuit.
The value of RG also determines the transconductance of the
preamp stage. As RG is reduced for larger gains, the
transconductance increases asymptotically to that of the input
transistors. This has three important advantages: (a) Open-loop
gain is boosted for increasing programmed gain, thus reducing
gain related errors. (b) The gain-bandwidth product
(determined by C1 and C2 and the preamp transconductance)
increases with programmed gain, thus optimizing frequency
response. (c) The input voltage noise is reduced to a value of
9 nV/√Hz, determined mainly by the collector current and base
resistance of the input devices.
The internal gain resistors, R1 and R2, are trimmed to an
absolute value of 24.7 kΩ, allowing the gain to be programmed
accurately with a single external resistor.
The gain equation is then

Make vs. Buy: a Typical Bridge Application Error Budget
The AD620 offers improved performance over “homebrew”
three op amp IA designs, along with smaller size, fewer
components, and 10× lower supply current. In the typical
application, shown in Figure 37, a gain of 100 is required to
amplify a bridge output of 20 mV full-scale over the industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. Table 4 shows how to
calculate the effect various error sources have on circuit
accuracy.
Rev. H | Page 12 of 20
AD620
Note that for the homebrew circuit, the OP07 specifications for
input voltage offset and noise have been multiplied by √2. This
is because a three op amp type in-amp has two op amps at its
inputs, both contributing to the overall input error.
Regardless of the system in which it is being used, the AD620
provides greater accuracy at low power and price. In simple
systems, absolute accuracy and drift errors are by far the most
significant contributors to error. In more complex systems
with an intelligent processor, an autogain/autozero cycle
removes all absolute accuracy and drift errors, leaving only the
resolution errors of gain, nonlinearity, and noise, thus allowing
full 14-bit accuracy.

Although useful in many bridge applications, such as weigh
scales, the AD620 is especially suitable for higher resistance
pressure sensors powered at lower voltages where small size and
low power become more significant.
The low current noise of the AD620 allows its use in ECG
monitors (Figure 39) where high source resistances of 1 MΩ or
higher are not uncommon. The AD620’s low power, low supply
voltage requirements, and space-saving 8-lead mini-DIP and
SOIC package offerings make it an excellent choice for batterypowered data recorders.
Figure 38 shows a 3 kΩ pressure transducer bridge powered
from 5 V. In such a circuit, the bridge consumes only 1.7 mA.
Adding the AD620 and a buffered voltage divider allows the
signal to be conditioned for only 3.8 mA of total supply current.
Small size and low cost make the AD620 especially attractive for
voltage output pressure transducers. Since it delivers low noise
and drift, it also serves applications such as diagnostic
noninvasive blood pressure measurement.

INPUT AND OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE
The AD620, along with another op amp and two resistors,
makes a precision current source (Figure 40). The op amp
buffers the reference terminal to maintain good CMR. The
output voltage, VX, of the AD620 appears across R1, which
converts it to a current. This current, less only the input bias
current of the op amp, then flows out to the load.
The low errors of the AD620 are attributed to two sources,
input and output errors. The output error is divided by G when
referred to the input. In practice, the input errors dominate at
high gains, and the output errors dominate at low gains. The
total VOS for a given gain is calculated as
Total Error RTI = input error + (output error/G)

Total Error RTO = (input error × G) + output error

The reference terminal potential defines the zero output voltage
and is especially useful when the load does not share a precise
ground with the rest of the system. It provides a direct means of
injecting a precise offset to the output, with an allowable range
of 2 V within the supply voltages. Parasitic resistance should be
kept to a minimum for optimum CMR.

GAIN SELECTION
The AD620 gain is resistor-programmed by RG, or more
precisely, by whatever impedance appears between Pins 1 and 8.
The AD620 is designed to offer accurate gains using 0.1% to 1%
resistors. Table 5 shows required values of RG for various gains.
Note that for G = 1, the RG pins are unconnected (RG = ∞). For
any arbitrary gain, RG can be calculated by using the formula:
RG =
49.4 kΩ
G −1
INPUT PROTECTION
The AD620 safely withstands an input current of ±60 mA for
several hours at room temperature. This is true for all gains and
power on and off, which is useful if the signal source and
amplifier are powered separately. For longer time periods, the
input current should not exceed 6 mA.
For input voltages beyond the supplies, a protection resistor
should be placed in series with each input to limit the current to
6 mA. These can be the same resistors as those used in the RFI
filter. High values of resistance can impact the noise and AC
CMRR performance of the system. Low leakage diodes (such as
the BAV199) can be placed at the inputs to reduce the required
protection resistance.
+SUPPLY
To minimize gain error, avoid high parasitic resistance in series
with RG; to minimize gain drift, RG should have a low TC—less
than 10 ppm/°C—for the best performance.

Since the AD620 output voltage is developed with respect to the
potential on the reference terminal, it can solve many
grounding problems by simply tying the REF pin to the
appropriate “local ground.”
Figure 42. Circuit to Attenuate RF Interference
COMMON-MODE REJECTION
Instrumentation amplifiers, such as the AD620, offer high
CMR, which is a measure of the change in output voltage when
both inputs are changed by equal amounts. These specifications
are usually given for a full-range input voltage change and a
specified source imbalance.
For optimal CMR, the reference terminal should be tied to a
low impedance point, and differences in capacitance and
resistance should be kept to a minimum between the two
inputs. In many applications, shielded cables are used to
minimize noise; for best CMR over frequency, the shield
should be properly driven. Figure 43 and Figure 44 show active
data guards that are configured to improve ac common-mode
rejections by “bootstrapping” the capacitances of input cable
shields, thus minimizing the capacitance mismatch between the
inputs.
To isolate low level analog signals from a noisy digital
environment, many data-acquisition components have separate
analog and digital ground pins (Figure 45). It would be
convenient to use a single ground line; however, current
through ground wires and PC runs of the circuit card can cause
hundreds of millivolts of error. Therefore, separate ground
returns should be provided to minimize the current flow from
the sensitive points to the system ground. These ground returns
must be tied together at some point, usually best at the ADC
package shown in Figure 45.

GROUND RETURNS FOR INPUT BIAS CURRENTS
– INPUT
Input bias currents are those currents necessary to bias the
input transistors of an amplifier. There must be a direct return
path for these currents. Therefore, when amplifying “floating”
input sources, such as transformers or ac-coupled sources, there
must be a dc path from each input to ground, as shown in
Figure 46, Figure 47, and Figure 48. Refer to A Designer’s Guide
