Or for a gain of 1, no external resistor is required. The AD622 is a complete difference or subtracter amplifier “system” while providing superior linearity and commonmode rejection by incorporating precision laser trimmed resistors. The AD622 replaces low cost, discrete, two or three op amp instrumentation amplifier designs and offers good commonmode rejection, superior linearity, temperature stability, reliability, and board area consumption. The low cost of the AD622 eliminates the need to design discrete instrumentation amplifiers to meet stringent cost targets. While providing a lower cost solution, it also provides performance and space improvements. REV. C Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

C AD622 THEORY OF OPERATION Make vs. Buy: A Typical Application Error Budget The AD622 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 0.5% at G = 100) with only one resistor. Monolithic construction and laser wafer trimming allow the tight matching and tracking of circuit components, thus insuring its performance. The AD622 offers a cost and performance advantages over discrete “two op-amp” instrumentation amplifier designs along with smaller size and less components. In a typical application shown in Figure 14, a gain of 10 is required to receive and amplify a 0–20 mA signal from the AD694 current transmitter. The current is converted to a voltage in a 50 Ω shunt. In applications where transmission is over long distances, line impedance can be significant so that differential voltage measurement is essential. Where there is no connection between the ground returns of transmitter and receiver, there must be a dc path from each input to ground, implemented in this case using two 1 kΩ resistors. The error budget detailed in Table I shows how to calculate the effect various error sources have on circuit accuracy. The input transistors Q1 and Q2 provide a single differentialpair bipolar input for high precision. Feedback through the Q1-A1-R1 loop and the Q2-A2-R2 loop maintains constant collector current of the input devices Q1, 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 subtracter A3 removes any common-mode signal, yielding a single-ended output referred to the REF pin potential. The AD622 provides greater accuracy at lower cost. The higher cost of the “homebrew” circuit is dominated in this case by the matched resistor network. One could also realize a “homebrew” design using cheaper discrete resistors which would be either trimmed or hand selected to give high common-mode rejection. This level of common-mode rejection would however degrade significantly over temperature due to the drift mismatch of the discrete resistors. 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 gainrelated errors. (b) The gain-bandwidth product (determined by C1, C2 and the preamp transconductance) increases with programmed gain, thus optimizing frequency response. (c) The input voltage noise is reduced to a value of 12 nV/√Hz, determined mainly by the collector current and base resistance of the input devices. Note that for the homebrew circuit, the LT1013 specification for noise has been multiplied by √2. This is because a “two opamp” type instrumentation amplifier has two op amps at its inputs, both contributing to the overall noise. The internal gain resistors, R1 and R2, are trimmed to an absolute value of 25.25 kΩ, allowing the gain to be programmed accurately with a single external resistor. 1/2 LT1013 RL2 10V VIN AD694 0–20mA TRANSMITTER 1kV 0–20mA 50V RG 5.62kV 1/2 LT1013 AD622 REFERENCE RL2 10V 1kV 1kV 1kV 9kV* 1kV* 1kV* 9kV* *0.1% RESISTOR MATCH, 50ppm / C TRACKING 0–20 mA Current Loop with 50 Ω Shunt Impedance AD622 Monolithic Instrumentation Amplifier, G = 9.986 Figure 14.

Required Values of Gain Resistors The AD622’s gain is resistor programmed by RG, or more precisely, by whatever impedance appears between Pins 1 and 8. The AD622 is designed to offer gains as close as possible to popular integer values using standard 1% resistors. Table II shows required values of R G for various gains. Note that for G = 1, the RG pins are unconnected (R G = ∞). For any arbitrary gain R G can be calculated by using the formula RG = 50.5 kΩ G −1 To minimize gain error avoid high parasitic resistance in series with RG, and to minimize gain drift, RG should have a low TC—less than 10 ppm/°C for the best performance. –8– Desired Gain 1% Std Table Value of RG, ⍀ Calculated Gain 2 5 10 20 51.1 k 12.7 k 5.62 k 2.67 k 1.988 4.976 9.986 19.91 33 40 50 1.58 k 1.3 k 1.02 k 32.96 39.85 50.50 65 100 200 787 511 255 65.17 99.83 199.0 500 1000 102 51.1 496.1 989.3 REV. C AD622 INPUT AND OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE RF INTERFERENCE The low errors of the AD622 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: The circuit of Figure 15 is recommended for AD622 series inamps and provides good RFI suppression at the expense of reducing the (differential) bandwidth. In addition, this RC input network also provides additional input overload protection (see input protection section). Resistors R1 and R2 were selected to be high enough in value to isolate the circuit’s input from capacitors C1–C3, but without significantly increasing the circuit’s noise. Total Error RTI = input error + (output error/G) Total Error RTO = (input error × G) + output error REFERENCE TERMINAL +VS C1 1000pF 5% 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.

This is true for all gains and power on and off, which is particularly important since the signal source and amplifier may be powered separately. For continuous input overload, the current should not exceed 6 mA (IIN ≤ VIN/400 Ω). For input overloads beyond the supplies, clamping the inputs to the supplies (using a diode such as an IN4148) will reduce the required resistance, yielding lower noise.

RFI Suppression Circuit for AD622 Series In-Amps R1/R2 and C1/C2 form a bridge circuit whose output appears across the in-amp’s input pins. Any mismatch between the C1/ R1 and C2/R2 time constant will unbalance the bridge and reduce common-mode rejection. C3 insures that any RF signals are common mode (the same on both in-amp inputs) and are not applied differentially. This low pass network has a –3 dB BW equal to: 1/(2π (R1 + R2) (C3 + C1 + C2)). Using a C3 value of 0.047 µF as shown, the –3 dB signal BW of this circuit is approximately 400 Hz. When operating at a gain of 1000, the typical dc offset shift over a frequency range of 1 Hz to 20 MHz will be less than 1.5 µV RTI and the circuit’s RF signal rejection will be better than 71 dB. At a gain of 100, the dc offset shift is well below 1 mV RTI and RF rejection better than 70 dB. The 3 dB signal bandwidth of this circuit may be increased to 900 Hz by reducing resistors R1 and R2 to 2.2 kΩ. The performance is similar to that using 4 kΩ resistors, except that the circuitry preceding the in-amp must drive a lower impedance load. This circuit should be built using a PC board with a ground plane on both sides. All component leads should be made as short as possible. Resistors R1 and R2 can be common 1% metal film units but capacitors C1 and C2 need to be ± 5% tolerance devices to avoid degrading the circuit’s common-mode rejection. Either the traditional 5% silver micas, miniature size micas, or the new Panasonic ± 2% PPS film capacitors are recommended. REV. C –9– AD622 GROUNDING GROUND RETURNS FOR INPUT BIAS CURRENTS Since the AD622 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.” The REF pin should however be tied to a low impedance point for optimal CMR. 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 17. Refer to the Instrumentation Amplifier Application Guide (free from Analog Devices) for more information regarding in amp applications. The use of ground planes is recommended to minimize the impedance of ground returns (and hence the size of dc errors). In order to isolate low level analog signals from a noisy digital environment, many data-acquisition components have separate analog and digital ground returns (Figure 16). All ground pins from mixed signal components such as analog to digital converters should be returned through the “high quality” analog ground plane. Maximum isolation between analog and digital is achieved by connecting the ground planes back at the supplies. The digital return currents from the ADC which flow in the analog ground plane will in general have a negligible effect on noise performance.
