PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD626 is a low cost, true single-supply differential amplifier
designed for amplifying and low-pass filtering small differential
voltages from sources having a large common-mode voltage.
The AD626 can operate from either a single supply of +2.4 V to
+10 V, or dual supplies of ±1.2 V to ±6 V. The input common-mode
The amplifier’s inputs are protected against continuous overload of
up to 50 V, and RFI filters are included in the attenuator network.
The output range is +0.03 V to +4.9 V using a +5 V supply. The
amplifier provides a preset gain of 10, but gains between 10 and
100 can be easily configured with an external resistor. Furthermore, a gain of 100 is available by connecting the G = 100 pin to
analog ground. The AD626 also offers low-pass filter capability by
connecting a capacitor between the filter pin and analog ground.
The AD626A and AD626B operate over the industrial temperature
range of –40°C to +85°C. The AD626 is available in two 8-lead
packages: a plastic mini-DIP and SOIC.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate
on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the AD626 features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.

Figure 4 shows the main elements of the AD626. The signal inputs
at Pins 1 and 8 are first applied to dual resistive attenuators R1
through R4 whose purpose is to reduce the peak common-mode
voltage at the input to the preamplifier—a feedback stage based
on the very low drift op amp A1. This allows the differential
input voltage to be accurately amplified in the presence of large
common-mode voltages six times greater than that which can be
tolerated by the actual input to A1. As a result, the input CMR
extends to six times the quantity (VS – 1 V). The overall commonmode error is minimized by precise laser-trimming of R3 and R4,
thus giving the AD626 a common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR)
of at least 10,000:1 (80 dB).

To minimize the effect of spurious RF signals at the inputs due to

are included.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD626 is a differential amplifier consisting of a precision
balanced attenuator, a very low drift preamplifier (A1), and an
output buffer amplifier (A2). It has been designed so that small
differential signals can be accurately amplified and filtered in the
presence of large common-mode voltages (VCM), without the use
of any other active components.
The output of A1 is connected to the input of A2 via a 100 k⍀
(R12) resistor to facilitate the low-pass filtering of the signal of
interest (see Low-Pass Filtering section).
The 200 k⍀ input impedance of the AD626 requires that the source
resistance driving this amplifier be low in value (
