GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8270 is a low distortion, dual-channel amplifier with
internal gain setting resistors. With no external components,
it can be configured as a high performance difference amplifier
with gains of 0.5, 1, or 2. It can also be configured in over 40 singleended configurations, with gains ranging from −2 to +3.
The AD8270 is the first dual-difference amplifier in the small
4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP. It requires the same board area as a typical
single-difference amplifier. The smaller package allows a 2×
increase in channel density and a lower cost per channel, all
with no compromise in performance.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
The maximum safe power dissipation for the AD8270 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 of time can result in a loss of functionality.
The AD8270 has built-in, short-circuit protection that limits the
output current to approximately 100 mA (see Figure 19 for
more information). While the short-circuit condition itself does
not damage the part, the heat generated by the condition can
cause the part to exceed its maximum junction temperature,
with corresponding negative effects on reliability.

The AD8270 is easy to drive, with all configurations presenting
at least several kilohms (kΩ) of input resistance. The AD8270
should be driven with a low impedance source: for example,
another amplifier. The gain accuracy and common-mode rejection
of the AD8270 depend on the matching of its resistors. Even
source resistance of a few ohms can have a substantial effect on
these specifications.

PACKAGE CONSIDERATIONS
20kΩ
The AD8270 is packaged in a 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP. Beware of
blindly copying the footprint from another 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP
part; 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.

CIRCUIT INFORMATION
The AD8270 has two channels, each consisting of a high precision,
low distortion op amp and seven trimmed resistors. These resistors can be connected to make a wide variety of amplifier
configurations: difference, noninverting, inverting, and more.
The resistors on the chip can be connected in parallel for a wider
range of options. Using the on-chip resistors of the AD8270
provides the designer several advantages over a discrete design.
DC Performance
Much of the dc performance of op amp circuits depends on the
accuracy of the surrounding resistors. The resistors on the AD8270
are laid out to be tightly matched. The resistors of each part are
laser trimmed and tested for their matching accuracy. Because
of this trimming and testing, the AD8270 can guarantee high
accuracy for specifications such as gain drift, common-mode
rejection, and gain error.
AC Performance
The 4 mm × 4 mm LFCSP of the AD8270 comes with a thermal
pad. This pad is connected internally to −VS. Connecting to this
pad is not necessary for electrical performance; the pad can be
left unconnected or can be connected to the negative supply rail.
Connecting the pad to the negative supply rail is recommended
in high vibration applications or when good heat dissipation is
required (for example, with high ambient temperatures or when
driving heavy loads). For best heat dissipation performance, the
negative supply rail should be a plane in the board. See the
Absolute Maximum Ratings section for thermal coefficients
with and without the pad soldered.
Space between the leads and thermal pad should be as wide as
possible to minimize the risk of contaminants affecting performance. A thorough washing of the board is recommended after the
soldering process, especially if high accuracy performance is
required at high temperatures.
Because feature size is much smaller in an integrated circuit than
on a PCB board, the corresponding parasitics are smaller, as well.
The smaller feature size helps the ac performance of the AD8270.
For example, the positive and negative input terminals of the
AD8270 op amp are not pinned out intentionally. By not
connecting these nodes to the traces on the PCB board, the
capacitance remains low, resulting in both improved loop
stability and common-mode rejection over frequency.
POWER SUPPLIES
Production Costs
The AD8270 is specified at ±15 V and ±5 V, but it can be used with
unbalanced supplies, as well. For example, −VS = 0 V, +VS = 20 V.
The difference between the two supplies must be kept below 36 V.
Because one part, rather than several, is placed on the PCB
board, the board can be built more quickly.
A stable dc voltage should be used to power the AD8270. Noise
on the supply pins can adversely affect performance. A bypass
capacitor of 0.1 μF should be placed between each supply pin
and ground, as close as possible to each supply pin. A tantalum
capacitor of 10 μF should also be used between each supply and
ground. It can be farther away from the supply pins and, typically,
it can be shared by other precision integrated circuits.

AD8270
INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
The AD8270 has a true rail-to-rail input range for the majority
of applications. Because most AD8270 configurations divide down
the voltage before they reach the internal op amp, the op amp sees
only a fraction of the input voltage. Figure 41 shows an example
of how the voltage division works in the difference amplifier
configuration.
The internal op amp voltage range may be relevant in the
following applications, and calculating the voltage at the
internal op amp is advised.

Voltages beyond the supply rails should not be applied to the
part. The part contains ESD diodes at the input pins, which
conduct if voltages beyond the rails are applied. Currents greater
than 5 mA can damage these diodes and the part. For a similar
part that can operate with voltages beyond the rails, see the
AD8273 data sheet.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
DIFFERENCE AMPLIFIER CONFIGURATIONS
SINGLE-ENDED CONFIGURATIONS
The AD8270 can be placed in difference amplifier configurations
with gains of 0.5, 1, and 2. Figure 42 through Figure 44 show the
difference amplifier configurations, referenced to ground. The
AD8270 can also be referred to a combination of reference voltages.
For example, the reference could be set at 2.5 V, using just 5 V
and GND. Some of the possible configurations are shown in
Figure 45 through Figure 47.
The AD8270 can be configured for a wide variety of singleended configurations with gains ranging from −2 to +3.
Table 8 shows a subset of the possible configurations.

The layout for Channel A is shown in Figure 42 through Figure 47.
The layout for Channel B is symmetrical. Table 7 shows the pin
connections for Channel A and Channel B.
Many signal gains have more than one configuration choice,
which allows freedom in choosing the op amp closed-loop gain.
In general, for designs that need to be stable with a large capacitive
load on the output, choose a configuration with high loop gain.
Otherwise, choose a configuration with low loop gain, because
these configurations typically have lower noise, lower offset,
and higher bandwidth.

The AD8270 is designed to be stable for loop gains of 1.5 and
greater. Because a typical voltage follower configuration has
a loop gain of 1, it may be unstable. Several stable G = 1 configurations are listed in Table 8.
DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT
The AD8270 can easily be configured for differential output.
Figure 48 shows the configuration for a G = 1 differential output
amplifier. The OCM node in the figure sets the common-mode
output voltage. Figure 49 shows the configuration for a G = 1
differential output amplifier, where the average of two voltages
sets the common-mode output voltage. For example, this
configuration can be used to set the common mode at 2.5 V,
using just a 5 V reference and GND.

The AD8270 Specifications section and Typical Performance
Characteristics section show the performance of the part primarily
when it is in the difference amplifier configuration. To get a good
estimate of the performance of the part in a single-ended
configuration, refer to the difference amplifier configuration
with the corresponding closed-loop gain (see Table 9).
Figure 49. Differential Output, G = 1, Common-Mode Output Voltage
Set as the Average of Two Voltages
Note that these two configurations are based on the G = 0.5
difference amplifier configurations shown in Figure 42 and
Figure 45. A similar technique can be used to create differential
output with a gain of 2 or 4, using the G = 1 and G = 2 difference
amplifier configurations, respectively.

AD8270
To reduce the peaking, use a resistor between the AD8270 and the
cable. Because cable capacitance and desired output response vary
widely, this resistor is best determined empirically. A good starting
point is 20 Ω.
DRIVING AN ADC
The AD270 high slew rate and drive capability, combined with
its dc accuracy, make it a good ADC driver. The AD8270 can
drive both single-ended and differential input ADCs. Many
converters require the output to be buffered with a small value
resistor combined with a high quality ceramic capacitor. See the
converter data sheet for more details. Figure 51 shows the AD8270
in differential configuration, driving the AD7688 ADC. The
AD8270 divides down the 5 V reference voltage from the ADR435,
so that the common-mode output voltage is 2.5 V, which is
precisely where the AD7688 needs it.

All cables have a certain capacitance per unit length, which varies
widely with cable type. The capacitive load from the cable may
cause peaking or instability in output response, especially when the
AD8270 is operating in a gain of 0.5.
