GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8221 is a gain programmable, high performance
instrumentation amplifier that delivers the industry’s highest
CMRR over frequency in its class. The CMRR of instrumentation
amplifiers on the market today falls off at 200 Hz. In contrast,
the AD8221 maintains a minimum CMRR of 80 dB to 10 kHz
for all grades at G = 1. High CMRR over frequency allows the
AD8221 to reject wideband interference and line harmonics,
greatly simplifying filter requirements. Possible applications
include precision data acquisition, biomedical analysis, and
aerospace instrumentation.

Figure 2. Typical CMRR vs. Frequency for G = 1
Low voltage offset, low offset drift, low gain drift, high gain
accuracy, and high CMRR make this part an excellent choice
in applications that demand the best dc performance possible,
such as bridge signal conditioning.
Programmable gain affords the user design flexibility. A single
resistor sets the gain from 1 to 1000. The AD8221 operates on
both single and dual supplies and is well suited for applications
where ±10 V input voltages are encountered.
The AD8221 is available in a low cost 8-lead SOIC and 8-lead
MSOP, both of which offer the industry’s best performance. The
MSOP requires half the board space of the SOIC, making it ideal
for multichannel or space-constrained applications.
Performance is specified over the entire industrial temperature
range of −40°C to +85°C for all grades. Furthermore, the AD8221
is operational from −40°C to +125°C1.

Figure 43. Simplified Schematic
Using superbeta input transistors and an IB compensation
scheme, the AD8221 offers extremely high input impedance,
low IB, low IB drift, low IOS, low input bias current noise, and
extremely low voltage noise of 8 nV/√Hz.
Because the input amplifiers employ a current feedback
architecture, the gain-bandwidth product of the AD8221
increases with gain, resulting in a system that does not suffer
from the expected bandwidth loss of voltage feedback
architectures at higher gains.
To maintain precision even at low input levels, special attention
was given to the design and layout of the AD8221, resulting in
an in-amp whose performance satisfies the most demanding
applications.
A unique pinout enables the AD8221 to meet a CMRR
specification of 80 dB at 10 kHz (G = 1) and 110 dB at 1 kHz
(G = 1000). The balanced pinout, shown in Figure 44, reduces
the parasitics that had, in the past, adversely affected CMRR
performance. In addition, the new pinout simplifies board
layout because associated traces are grouped together. For
example, the gain setting resistor pins are adjacent to the
inputs, and the reference pin is next to the output.

The AD8221 is a monolithic instrumentation amplifier based
on the classic 3-op amp topology. Input transistors Q1 and Q2
are biased at a fixed current so that any differential input signal
forces the output voltages of A1 and A2 to change accordingly.
A signal applied to the input creates a current through RG, R1,
and R2, such that the outputs of A1 and A2 deliver the correct
voltage. Topologically, Q1, A1, R1 and Q2, A2, R2 can be
viewed as precision current feedback amplifiers. The amplified
differential and common-mode signals are applied to a
difference amplifier that rejects the common-mode voltage
but amplifies the differential voltage. The difference amplifier
employs innovations that result in low output offset voltage as
well as low output offset voltage drift. Laser-trimmed resistors
allow for a highly accurate in-amp with gain error typically less
than 20 ppm and CMRR that exceeds 90 dB (G = 1).
AD8221
GAIN SELECTION
Grounding
Placing a resistor across the RG terminals set the gain of
AD8221, which can be calculated by referring to Table 6 or
by using the gain equation.
The output voltage of the AD8221 is developed with respect to
the potential on the reference terminal. Care should be taken to
tie REF to the appropriate local ground.
RG =
In mixed-signal environments, low level analog signals need to
be isolated from the noisy digital environment. Many ADCs
have separate analog and digital ground pins. Although it is
convenient to tie both grounds to a single ground plane, the
current traveling through the ground wires and PC board may
cause hundreds of millivolts of error. Therefore, separate analog
and digital ground returns should be used to minimize the
current flow from sensitive points to the system ground. An
example layout is shown in Figure 45 and Figure 46.

The AD8221 defaults to G = 1 when no gain resistor is used.
Gain accuracy is determined by the absolute tolerance of RG.
The TC of the external gain resistor increases the gain drift of
the instrumentation amplifier. Gain error and gain drift are kept
to a minimum when the gain resistor is not used.
Careful board layout maximizes system performance. Traces
from the gain setting resistor to the RG pins should be kept as
short as possible to minimize parasitic inductance. To ensure
the most accurate output, the trace from the REF pin should
either be connected to the local ground of the AD8221, as shown
in Figure 47, or connected to a voltage that is referenced to the
local ground of the AD8221.

Common-Mode Rejection
A well implemented layout helps to maintain the high CMRR
over frequency of the AD8221. Input source impedance and
capacitance should be closely matched. In addition, source
resistance and capacitance should be placed as close to the
inputs as permissible.
Rev. C | Page 18 of 24
03149-045
One benefit of the high CMRR over frequency of the AD8221 is
that it has greater immunity to disturbances, such as line noise
and its associated harmonics, than do typical instrumentation
amplifiers. Typically, these amplifiers have CMRR fall-off at
200 Hz; common-mode filters are often used to compensate for
this shortcoming. The AD8221 is able to reject CMRR over a
greater frequency range, reducing the need for filtering.

REFERENCE TERMINAL
+VS
As shown in Figure 43, the reference terminal, REF, is at one
end of a 10 kΩ resistor. The output of the instrumentation
amplifier is referenced to the voltage on the REF terminal; this
is useful when the output signal needs to be offset to a precise
midsupply level. For example, a voltage source can be tied to the
REF pin to level-shift the output so that the AD8221 can interface
with an ADC. The allowable reference voltage range is a function
of the gain, input, and supply voltage. The REF pin should not
exceed either +VS or –VS by more than 0.5 V.

For best performance, source impedance to the REF terminal
should be kept low, because parasitic resistance can adversely

INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN PATH
The input bias current of the AD8221 must have a return path
to common. When the source, such as a thermocouple, cannot
provide a return current path, one should be created, as shown
in Figure 48.
All terminals of the AD8221 are protected against ESD, 1 kV
Human Body Model. In addition, the input structure allows for
dc overload conditions below the negative supply, −VS. The
internal 400 Ω resistors limit current in the event of a negative
fault condition. However, in the case of a dc overload voltage
above the positive supply, +VS, a large current flows directly
through the ESD diode to the positive rail. Therefore, an external
resistor should be used in series with the input to limit current
for voltages above +Vs. In either scenario, the AD8221 can
safely handle a continuous 6 mA current, I = VIN/REXT for
positive overvoltage and I = VIN/(400 Ω + REXT) for negative
overvoltage.
For applications where the AD8221 encounters extreme
overload voltages, as in cardiac defibrillators, external series
resistors, and low leakage diode clamps, such as BAV199Ls,
FJH1100s, or SP720s should be used.

AD8221
RF INTERFERENCE
CD affects the difference signal, and CC affects the commonmode signal. Values of R and CC should be chosen to minimize
RFI. Mismatch between the R × CC at the positive input and the
R × CC at the negative input degrades the CMRR of the AD8221.
By using a value of CD one magnitude larger than CC, the effect
of the mismatch is reduced, and therefore, performance is
improved.
RF rectification is often a problem when amplifiers are used in
applications where there are strong RF signals. The disturbance
can appear as a small dc offset voltage. High frequency signals
can be filtered with a low-pass RC network placed at the input
of the instrumentation amplifier, as shown in Figure 49. The
filter limits the input signal bandwidth according to the following
relationship:
FilterFreqDiff =

2πR(2CD + CC )
FilterFreqCM =

The low offset and high CMRR over frequency of the AD8221
make it an excellent candidate for bridge measurements. As
shown in Figure 50, the bridge can be directly connected to
the inputs of the amplifier.

There is a need in many applications to condition ±10 V signals.
However, many of today’s ADCs and digital ICs operate on
much lower, single-supply voltages. Furthermore, new ADCs
have differential inputs because they provide better commonmode rejection, noise immunity, and performance at low supply
voltages. Interfacing a ±10 V, single-ended instrumentation
amplifier to a +5 V, differential ADC can be a challenge.
Interfacing the instrumentation amplifier to the ADC requires
attenuation and a level shift. A solution is shown in Figure 51.

AD8221
This topology has five benefits. In addition to level-shifting and
attenuation, very little noise is contributed to the system. Noise
from R1 and R2 is common to both of the inputs of the ADC
and is easily rejected. R5 adds a third of the dominant noise and
therefore makes a negligible contribution to the noise of the
system. The attenuator divides the noise from R3 and R4. Likewise,
its noise contribution is negligible. The fourth benefit of this
interface circuit is that the acquisition time of the AD8221 is
reduced by a factor of 2. With the help of the OP27, the AD8221
only needs to deliver one-half of the full swing; therefore, signals
can settle more quickly. Lastly, the AD8022 settles quickly,
which is helpful because the shorter the settling time, the
more bits that can be resolved when the ADC acquires data.
This configuration provides attenuation, a level-shift, and a
convenient interface with a differential input ADC while
maintaining performance.
reduces the referred input noise of the amplifier to 8 nV/√Hz.
Thus, smaller signals can be measured because the noise floor is
lower. DC offsets that would have been gained by 100 are
eliminated from the output of the AD8221 by the integrator
feedback network.
At low frequencies, the OP1177 forces the output of the AD8221 to
0 V. Once a signal exceeds fHIGH-PASS, the AD8221 outputs the
amplified input signal.

AC-COUPLED INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
Measuring small signals that are in the noise or offset of the
amplifier can be a challenge. Figure 52 shows a circuit that can

In this topology, an OP27 sets the reference voltage of the
AD8221. The output signal of the instrumentation amplifier is
taken across the OUT pin and the REF pin. Two 1 kΩ resistors
and a 499 Ω resistor attenuate the ±10 V signal to +4 V. An
optional capacitor, C1, can serve as an antialiasing filter. An
AD8022 is used to drive the ADC.

DIE INFORMATION
Die size: 1575 μm × 2230 μm
Die thickness: 381 μm
To minimize gain errors introduced by the bond wires, use Kelvin connections between the chip and the gain resistor, RG, by connecting
Pad 2A and Pad 2B in parallel to one end of RG and Pad 3A and Pad 3B in parallel to the other end of RG. For unity gain applications
where RG is not required, Pad 2A and Pad 2B must be bonded together as well as the Pad 3A and Pad 3B.
