GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMP04 is a single-supply instrumentation amplifier
designed to work over a +5 volt to ± 15 volt supply range. It
offers an excellent combination of accuracy, low power consumption, wide input voltage range, and excellent gain
performance.
Gain is set by a single external resistor and can be from 1 to
1000. Input common-mode voltage range allows the AMP04 to
handle signals with full accuracy from ground to within 1 volt of
the positive supply. And the output can swing to within 1 volt of
the positive supply. Gain bandwidth is over 700 kHz. In addition to being easy to use, the AMP04 draws only 700 µA of
supply current.

For high resolution data acquisition systems, laser trimming of
low drift thin-film resistors limits the input offset voltage to
under 150 µV, and allows the AMP04 to offer gain nonlinearity
of 0.005% and a gain tempco of 30 ppm/°C.
A proprietary input structure limits input offset currents to
less than 5 nA with drift of only 8 pA/°C, allowing direct connection of the AMP04 to high impedance transducers and
other signal sources.

APPLICATIONS
Common-Mode Rejection
Input Common-Mode Voltage Below Ground
The purpose of the instrumentation amplifier is to amplify the
difference between the two input signals while ignoring offset
and noise voltages common to both inputs. One way of judging
the device’s ability to reject this offset is the common-mode
gain, which is the ratio between a change in the common-mode
voltage and the resulting output voltage change. Instrumentation amplifiers are often judged by the common-mode rejection
ratio, which is equal to 20 × log10 of the ratio of the user-selected
differential signal gain to the common-mode gain, commonly
called the CMRR. The AMP04 offers excellent CMRR, guaranteed to be greater than 90 dB at gains of 100 or greater. Input
offsets attain very low temperature drift by proprietary lasertrimmed thin-film resistors and high gain amplifiers.
Input Common-Mode Range Includes Ground
The AMP04 employs a topology (Figure 1) that uniquely allows
the common-mode input voltage to truly extend to zero volts
where other instrumentation amplifiers fail. To illustrate, take
for example the single supply, gain of 100 instrumentation
amplifier as in Figure 2. As the inputs approach zero volts, in
order for the output to go positive, amplifier A’s output (VOA)
must be allowed to go below ground, to –0.094 volts. Clearly
this is not possible in a single supply environment. Consequently
this instrumentation amplifier configuration’s input common-mode
voltage cannot go below about 0.4 volts. In comparison, the
AMP04 has no such restriction. Its inputs will function with a
zero-volt common-mode voltage.
Although not tested and guaranteed, the AMP04 inputs are
biased in a way that they can amplify signals linearly with commonmode voltage as low as –0.25 volts below ground. This holds
true over the industrial temperature range from –40°C to +85°C.
Extended Positive Common-Mode Range
On the high side, other instrumentation amplifier configurations,
such as the three op amp instrumentation amplifier, can have
severe positive common-mode range limitations. Figure 3 shows
an example of a gain of 1001 amplifier, with an input commonmode voltage of 10 volts. For this circuit to function, VOB must
swing to 15.01 volts in order for the output to go to 10.01 volts.
Clearly no op amp can handle this swing range (given a 15 V
supply) as the output will saturate long before it reaches the
supply rails. Again the AMP04’s topology does not have this
limitation. Figure 4 illustrates the AMP04 operating at the same
common-mode conditions as in Figure 3. None of the internal
nodes has a signal high enough to cause amplifier saturation. As
a result, the AMP04 can accommodate much wider commonmode range than most instrumentation amplifiers.

AMP04
High accuracy circuitry can experience considerable error contributions due to the coupling of stray voltages into sensitive
areas, including high impedance amplifier inputs which benefit
from such techniques as ground planes, guard rings, and shields.
Careful circuit layout, including good grounding and signal
routing practice to minimize stray coupling and ground loops is
recommended. Leakage currents can be minimized by using
high quality socket and circuit board materials, and by carefully
cleaning and coating complete board assemblies.
Programming the Gain
The gain of the AMP04 is programmed by the user by selecting
a single external resistor—RGAIN:
Gain = 100 kΩ/RGAIN
The output voltage is then defined as the differential input
voltage times the gain.
VOUT = (VIN+ – VIN–) × Gain
In single supply systems, offsetting the ground is often desired
for several reasons. Ground may be offset from zero to provide
a quieter signal reference point, or to offset “zero” to allow a
unipolar signal range to represent both positive and negative
values.
As mentioned above, the high speed transition noise found in
logic circuitry is the sworn enemy of the analog circuit designer.
Great care must be taken to maintain separation between them
to minimize coupling. A major path for these error voltages will
be found in the power supply lines. Low impedance, load related
variations and noise levels that are completely acceptable in the
high thresholds of the digital domain make the digital supply
unusable in nearly all high performance analog applications.
The user is encouraged to maintain separate power and ground
between the analog and digital systems wherever possible,
joining only at the supply itself if necessary, and to observe
careful grounding layout and bypass capacitor scheduling in
sensitive areas.
In noisy environments such as those having digital switching,
switching power supplies or externally generated noise, ground
may not be the ideal place to reference a signal in a high accuracy system.
Often, real world signals such as temperature or pressure may
generate voltages that are represented by changes in polarity. In
a single supply system the signal input cannot be allowed to go
below ground, and therefore the signal must be offset to accommodate this change in polarity. On the AMP04, a reference
input pin is provided to allow offsetting of the input range.
Input Shield Drivers
High impedance sources and long cable runs from remote transducers in noisy industrial environments commonly experience
significant amounts of noise coupled to the inputs. Both stray
capacitance errors and noise coupling from external sources can
be minimized by running the input signal through shielded
cable. The cable shield is often grounded at the analog input
common, however improved dynamic noise rejection and a
reduction in effective cable capacitance is achieved by driving
the shield with a buffer amplifier at a potential equal to the
voltage seen at the input. Driven shields are easily realized with
the AMP04. Examination of the simplified schematic shows that
the potentials at the gain set resistor pins of the AMP04 follow
the inputs precisely. As shown in Figure 5, shield drivers are
easily realized by buffering the potential at these pins by a dual,
single supply op amp such as the OP213. Alternatively, applications with single-ended sources or that use twisted-pair cable
could drive a single shield. To minimize error contributions due
to this additional circuitry, all components and wiring should
remain in proximity to the AMP04 and careful grounding and
bypassing techniques should be observed.
The gain equation is more accurately represented by including
this reference input.
VOUT = (VIN+ – VIN–) × Gain + VREF
Grounding
The most common problems encountered in high performance
analog instrumentation and data acquisition system designs are
found in the management of offset errors and ground noise.
Primarily, the designer must consider temperature differentials
and thermocouple effects due to dissimilar metals, IR voltage drops, and the effects of stray capacitance. The problem
is greatly compounded when high speed digital circuitry, such
as that accompanying data conversion components, is brought
into the proximity of the analog section. Considerable noise and
error contributions such as fast-moving logic signals that easily
propagate into sensitive analog lines, and the unavoidable noise
common to digital supply lines must all be dealt with if the accuracy of the carefully designed analog section is to be preserved.
Besides the temperature drift errors encountered in the amplifier, thermal errors due to the supporting discrete components
should be evaluated. The use of high quality, low-TC components where appropriate is encouraged. What is more important,
large thermal gradients can create not only unexpected changes
in component values, but also generate significant thermoelectric voltages due to the interface between dissimilar metals such
as lead solder, copper wire, gold socket contacts, Kovar lead
frames, etc. Thermocouple voltages developed at these junctions
commonly exceed the TCVOS contribution of the AMP04.
Component layout that takes into account the power dissipation
at critical locations in the circuit and minimizes gradient effects
and differential common-mode voltages by taking advantage of
input symmetry will minimize many of these errors.

Compensating for Input and Output Errors
Noise Filtering
To achieve optimal performance, the user needs to take into
account a number of error sources found in instrumentation
amplifiers. These consist primarily of input and output offset
voltages and leakage currents.
Unlike most previous instrumentation amplifiers, the output
stage’s inverting input (Pin 8) is accessible. By placing a capacitor across the AMP04’s feedback path (Figure 6, Pins 6 and 8)
CEXT
The input and output offset voltages are independent from one
another, and must be considered separately. The input offset
component will of course be directly multiplied by the gain of
the amplifier, in contrast to the output offset voltage that is
independent of gain. Therefore, the output error is the dominant factor at low gains, and the input error grows to become
the greater problem as gain is increased. The overall equation
for offset voltage error referred to the output (RTO) is:
100k
RGAIN
IN(–)
11k
VOS (RTO) = (VIOS × G) + VOOS
11k
where VIOS is the input offset voltage and VOOS the output offset
voltage, and G is the programmed amplifier gain.
The change in these error voltages with temperature must also
be taken into account. The specification TCVOS, referred to the
output, is a combination of the input and output drift specifications. Again, the gain influences the input error but not the
output, and the equation is:
TCVOS (RTI) = TCVIOS + (TCVOOS / G)
The bias and offset currents of the input transistors also have an
impact on the overall accuracy of the input signal. The input
leakage, or bias currents of both inputs will generate an additional offset voltage when flowing through the signal source
resistance. Changes in this error component due to variations
with signal voltage and temperature can be minimized if both
input source resistances are equal, reducing the error to a
common-mode voltage which can be rejected. The difference in
bias current between the inputs, the offset current, generates a
differential error voltage across the source resistance that should
be taken into account in the user’s design.

Filtering can be applied to reduce wide band noise. Figure 7a
shows a 10 Hz low-pass filter, gain of 1000 for the AMP04.
Figures 7b and 7c illustrate the effect of filtering on noise. The
photo in Figure 7b shows the output noise before filtering. By
adding a 0.15 µF capacitor, the noise is reduced by about a
factor of 4 as shown in Figure 7c.

In applications utilizing floating sources such as thermocouples,
transformers, and some photo detectors, the user must take
care to provide some current path between the high impedance inputs and analog ground. The input bias currents of
the AMP04, although extremely low, will charge the stray
capacitance found in nearby circuit traces, cables, etc., and
cause the input to drift erratically or to saturate unless given a
bleed path to the analog common. Again, the use of equal resistance values will create a common input error voltage that is
rejected by the amplifier.

Reference Input
The VREF input is used to set the system ground. For dual supply operation it can be connected to ground to give zero volts
out with zero volts differential input. In single supply systems it
could be connected either to the negative supply or to a pseudoground between the supplies. In any case, the REF input must
be driven with low impedance.

Offset Nulling in Single Supply
1mV
Nulling the offset in single supply systems is difficult because
the adjustment is made to try to attain zero volts. At zero volts
out, the output is in saturation (to the negative rail) and the
output voltage is indistinguishable from the normal offset error.
Consequently the offset nulling circuit in Figure 9 must be used
with caution.

First, the potentiometer should be adjusted to cause the output
to swing in the positive direction; then adjust it in the reverse
direction, causing the output to swing toward ground, until
the output just stops changing. At that point the output is at
the saturation limit.

Power Supply Considerations
In dual supply applications (for example ± 15 V) if the input is
connected to a low resistance source less than 100 Ω, a large
current may flow in the input leads if the positive supply is
applied before the negative supply during power-up. A similar
condition may also result upon a loss of the negative supply. If
these conditions could be present in you system, it is recommended that a series resistor up to 1 kΩ be added to the input
leads to limit the input current.

Offset Nulling in Dual Supply
Alternative Nulling Method
Offset may be nulled by feeding a correcting voltage at the VREF
pin (Pin 5). However, it is important that the pin be driven with
a low impedance source. Any measurable resistance will degrade
the amplifier’s common-mode rejection performance as well as
its gain accuracy. An op amp may be used to buffer the offset
null circuit as in Figure 8.
An alternative null correction technique is to inject an offset
current into the summing node of the output amplifier as in
Figure 10. This method does not require an external op amp.
However, the drawback is that the amplifier will move off its
null as the input common-mode voltage changes. It is a less
desirable nulling circuit than the previous method.

Low Power Precision Single Supply RTD Amplifier
Figure 11 shows a linearized RTD amplifier that is powered
from a single 5 volt supply. However, the circuit will work up to
36 volts without modification. The RTD is excited by a 100 µA
constant current that is regulated by amplifier A (OP295). The
0.202 volts reference voltage used to generate the constant current
is divided down from the 2.500 volt reference. The AMP04 amplifies the bridge output to a 10 mV/°C output coefficient.

The RTD is linearized by feeding a portion of the signal back to
the reference circuit, increasing the reference voltage as the
temperature increases. When calibrated properly, the RTD’s
nonlinearity error will be canceled.
To calibrate, either immerse the RTD into a zero-degree ice
bath or substitute an exact 100 Ω resistor in place of the RTD.
Then adjust bridge BALANCE potentiometer R3 for a 0 volt
When properly calibrated, the circuit achieves better than
± 0.5°C accuracy within a temperature measurement range
from 0°C to 400°C.
Precision 4-20 mA Loop Transmitter with Noninteractive Trim
Figure 12 shows a full bridge strain gage transducer amplifier
circuit that is powered off the 4-20 mA current loop. The AMP04
amplifies the bridge signal differentially and is converted to a
current by the output amplifier. The total quiescent current
drawn by the circuit, which includes the bridge, the amplifiers,
and the resistor biasing, is only a fraction of the 4 mA null
current that flows through the current-sense resistor RSENSE.
The voltage across RSENSE feeds back to the OP90’s input,
whose common-mode is fixed at the current summing reference
voltage, thus regulating the output current.
With no bridge signal, the 4 mA null is simply set up by the
50 kΩ NULL potentiometer plus the 976 kΩ resistors that
inject an offset that forces an 80 mV drop across RSENSE. At a
50 mV full-scale bridge voltage, the AMP04 amplifies the
voltage-to-current converter for a full-scale of 20 mA at the
output. Since the OP90’s input operates at a constant 0 volt
common-mode voltage, the null and the span adjustments do
not interact with one another. Calibration is simple and easy
with the NULL adjusted first, followed by SPAN adjust. The
entire circuit can be remotely placed, and powered from the
4-20 mA 2-wire loop.

Finally substitute a 175.84 Ω resistor (equivalent to 200°C

for a 2.000 volts at the output. Repeat the full-scale and the

4-20 mA Loop Receiver
Single Supply Programmable Gain Instrumentation Amplifier
At the receiving end of a 4-20 mA loop, the AMP04 makes a
convenient differential receiver to convert the current back to
a usable voltage (Figure 13). The 4-20 mA signal current passes
through a 100 Ω sense resistor. The voltage drop is differentially
amplified by the AMP04. The 4 mA offset is removed by the
offset correction circuit.
Combining with the single supply ADG221 quad analog switch,
the AMP04 makes a useful programmable gain amplifier that
can handle input and output signals at zero volts. Figure 15
shows the implementation. A logic low input to any of the gain
control ports will cause the gain to change by shorting a gainset resistor across AMP04’s Pins 1 and 8. Trimming is required
at higher gains to improve accuracy because the switch ONresistance becomes a more significant part of the gain-set
resistance. The gain of 500 setting has two switches connected
in parallel to reduce the switch resistance.

Figure 14 shows a 350 Ω load cell that is pulsed with a low duty
cycle to conserve power. The OP295’s rail-to-rail output capability allows a maximum voltage of 10 volts to be applied to the
bridge. The bridge voltage is selectively pulsed on when a measurement is made. A negative-going pulse lasting 200 ms should
be applied to the MEASURE input. The long pulsewidth is
necessary to allow ample settling time for the long time constant
of the low-pass filter around the AMP04. A much faster settling
time can be achieved by omitting the filter capacitor.
