GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8220 is the first single-supply, JFET input instrumentation amplifier available in an MSOP package. Designed to meet the needs of high performance, portable instrumentation, the AD8220 has a minimum common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 86 dB at dc and a minimum CMRR of 80 dB at 5 kHz for G = 1. Maximum input bias current is 10 pA and typically remains below 300 pA over the entire industrial temperature range. Despite the JFET inputs, the AD8220 typically has a noise corner of only 10 Hz. With the proliferation of mixed-signal processing, the number of power supplies required in each system has grown. The AD8220 is designed to alleviate this problem. The AD8220 can operate on a ±18 V dual supply, as well as on a single +5 V supply. Its rail-to-rail output stage maximizes dynamic range on the low voltage supplies common in portable applications. Its ability to run on a single 5 V supply eliminates the need to use higher voltage, dual supplies. The AD8220 draws a maximum of 750 μA of quiescent current, making it ideal for battery powered devices. Gain is set from 1 to 1000 with a single resistor. Increasing the gain increases the common-mode rejection. Measurements that need higher CMRR when reading small signals benefit when the AD8220 is set for large gains. A reference pin allows the user to offset the output voltage. This feature is useful when interfacing with analog-to-digital converters. The AD8220 is available in an MSOP that takes roughly half the board area of an SOIC. Performance for the A and B grade is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C, and the W grade is specified over the automotive temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.

When the output sinks more than 4 mA, use a 47 pF capacitor in parallel with the load to prevent ringing. Otherwise, use a larger load, such as 10 kΩ. Differential and common-mode input impedance can be calculated from the pin impedance: ZDIFF = 2(ZPIN); ZCM = ZPIN/2. 3 The AD8220 can operate up to a diode drop below the negative supply but the bias current increases sharply. The input voltage range reflects the maximum allowable voltage where the input bias current is within the specification. 4 At this supply voltage, ensure that the input common-mode voltage is within the input voltage range specification.

Figure 55. Simplified Schematic
The AD8220 is a JFET input, monolithic instrumentation amplifier based on the classic 3-op amp topology (see Figure 55). Input Transistor J1 and Input Transistor J2 are biased at a fixed current so that any input signal forces the output voltages of A1 and A2 to change accordingly; the input signal creates a current through RG that flows in R1 and R2 such that the outputs of A1 and A2 provide the correct, gained signal. Topologically, J1, A1, and R1 and J2, A2, and R2 can be viewed as precision current feedback amplifiers that have a gain bandwidth of 1.5 MHz. The common-mode voltage and amplified differential signal from A1 and A2 are applied to a difference amplifier that rejects the common-mode voltage but amplifies the differential signal. The difference amplifier employs 20 kΩ laser-trimmed resistors that result in an in-amp with gain error less than 0.04%. New trim techniques were developed to ensure that CMRR exceeds 86 dB (G = 1). Using JFET transistors, the AD8220 offers an extremely high input impedance, extremely low bias currents of 10 pA maximum, a low offset current of 0.6 pA maximum, and no input bias current noise. In addition, input offset is less than 125 μV and drift is less than 5 μV/°C. Ease of use and robustness were considered. A common problem for instrumentation amplifiers is that at high gains, when the input is overdriven,1 an excessive milliampere input bias current can result and the output can undergo phase reversal. The AD8220 has none of these problems; its input bias current is limited to less than 10 μA, and the output does not phase reverse under overdrive fault conditions.

The AD8220 has extremely low load-induced nonlinearity. All amplifiers that comprise the AD8220 have rail-to-rail output capability for enhanced dynamic range. The input of the AD8220 can amplify signals with wide common-mode voltages even slightly lower than the negative supply rail. The AD8220 operates over a wide supply voltage range. It can operate from either a single +4.5 V to +36 V supply or a dual ±2.25 V to ±18 V. The transfer function of the AD8220 is
G 1
49.4 kΩ RG
Users can easily and accurately set the gain using a single, standard resistor. Because the input amplifiers employ a current feedback architecture, the AD8220 gain-bandwidth product increases with gain, resulting in a system that does not suffer as much bandwidth loss as voltage feedback architectures at higher gains. A unique pinout enables the AD8220 to meet a CMRR specification of 80 dB through 5 kHz (G = 1). The balanced pinout, shown in Figure 56, reduces parasitics that adversely affect 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.

Overdriving the input at high gains refers to when the input signal is within the supply voltages but the amplifier cannot output the gained signal. For example, at a gain of 100, driving the amplifier with 10 V on ±15 V constitutes overdriving the inputs since the amplifier cannot output 100 V.

GAIN SELECTION
Placing a resistor across the RG terminals sets the AD8220 gain, which can be calculated by referring to Table 5 or by using the gain equation
RG 49.4 kΩ G 1
Calculated Gain 1.990 4.984 9.998 19.93 50.40 100.0 199.4 495.0 991.0
gain setting resistor to the RG pins should be kept as short as possible to minimize parasitic inductance. An example layout is shown in Figure 57 and Figure 58. To ensure the most accurate output, the trace from the REF pin should either be connected to the AD8220 local ground (see Figure 59) or connected to a voltage that is referenced to the AD8220 local ground.
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR)
The AD8220 has high CMRR over frequency giving it greater immunity to disturbances, such as line noise and its associated harmonics, in contrast to typical in-amps whose CMRR falls off around 200 Hz. These in-amps often need common-mode filters at the inputs to compensate for this shortcoming. The AD8220 is able to reject CMRR over a greater frequency range, reducing the need for input common-mode filtering. A well-implemented layout helps to maintain the high CMRR over frequency of the AD8220. Input source impedance and capacitance should be closely matched. In addition, source resistance and capacitance should be placed as close to the inputs as possible.
Table 5. Gains Achieved Using 1% Resistors
1% Standard Table Value of RG (Ω) 49.9 k 12.4 k 5.49 k 2.61 k 1.00 k 499 249 100 49.9
The AD8220 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.
Grounding
The output voltage of the AD8220 is developed with respect to the potential on the reference terminal. Care should be taken to tie REF to the appropriate local ground (see Figure 59). 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 can cause a large error. Therefore, separate analog and digital ground returns should be used to minimize the current flow from sensitive points to the system ground.
LAYOUT
Careful board layout maximizes system performance. In applications that need to take advantage of the low input bias current of the AD8220, avoid placing metal under the input path to minimize leakage current. To maintain high CMRR over frequency, lay out the input traces symmetrically and lay out the traces of the RG resistor symmetrically. Ensure that the traces maintain resistive and capacitive balance; this holds for additional PCB metal layers under the input and RG pins. Traces from the

AD8220
REFERENCE TERMINAL
The reference terminal, REF, is at one end of a 20 kΩ resistor (see Figure 55). 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 voltages other than common. For example, a voltage source can be tied to the REF pin to level-shift the output so that the AD8220 can interface with an ADC. The allowable reference voltage range is a function of the gain, common-mode input, and supply voltages. The REF pin should not exceed either +VS or −VS by more than 0.5 V. For best performance, especially in cases where the output is not measured with respect to the REF terminal, source impedance to the REF terminal should be kept low, because parasitic resistance can adversely affect CMRR and gain accuracy.
INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN PATH
The AD8220 input bias current is extremely small at less than 10 pA. Nonetheless, the input bias current must have a return path to common. When the source, such as a transformer, cannot provide a return current path, one should be created (see Figure 60).

POWER SUPPLY REGULATION AND BYPASSING
The AD8220 has high PSRR. However, for optimal performance, a stable dc voltage should be used to power the instrumentation amplifier. Noise on the supply pins can adversely affect performance. As in all linear circuits, bypass capacitors must be used to decouple the amplifier. A 0.1 μF capacitor should be placed close to each supply pin. A 10 μF tantalum capacitor can be used further away from the part (see Figure 59). In most cases, it can be shared by other precision integrated circuits.

INPUT PROTECTION
All terminals of the AD8220 are protected against ESD. (ESD protection is guaranteed to 4 kV, human body model.) In addition, the input structure allows for dc overload conditions a diode drop above the positive supply and a diode drop below the negative supply. Voltages beyond a diode drop of the supplies cause the ESD diodes to conduct and enable current to flow through the diode. Therefore, an external resistor should be used in series with each of the inputs to limit current for voltages above +Vs. In either scenario, the AD8220 safely handles a continuous 6 mA current at room temperature. For applications where the AD8220 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.

RF INTERFERENCE
RF rectification is often a problem in applications where there are large RF signals. The problem appears as a small dc offset voltage. The AD8220 by its nature has a 5 pF gate capacitance, CG, at its inputs. Matched series resistors form a natural low-pass filter that reduces rectification at high frequency (see Figure 61). The relationship between external, matched series resistors and the internal gate capacitance is expressed as follows:

An instrumentation amplifier is often used in front of an ADC to provide CMRR and additional conditioning, such as a voltage level shift and gain (see Figure 63). In this example, a 2.7 nF capacitor and a 1 kΩ resistor create an antialiasing filter for the AD7685. The 2.7 nF capacitor also serves to store and deliver the necessary charge to the switched capacitor input of the ADC. The 1 kΩ series resistor reduces the burden of the 2.7 nF load from the amplifier. However, large source impedance in front of the ADC can degrade THD. The example shown in Figure 63 is for sub-60 kHz applications. For higher bandwidth applications where THD is important, the series resistor needs to be small. At worst, a small series resistor can load the AD8220, potentially causing the output to overshoot or ring. In such cases, a buffer amplifier, such as the AD8615, should be used after the AD8220 to drive the ADC.

Figure 61. RFI Filtering Without External Capacitors
To eliminate high frequency common-mode signals while using smaller source resistors, a low-pass RC network can be placed at the input of the instrumentation amplifier (see Figure 62). The filter limits the input signal bandwidth according to the following relationship: FilterFreq DIFF FilterFreqCM 1 2πR(2 CD CC CG )

Mismatched CC capacitors result in mismatched low-pass filters. The imbalance causes the AD8220 to treat what would have been a common-mode signal as a differential signal. To reduce the effect of mismatched external CC capacitors, select a value of CD greater than 10 times CC. This sets the differential filter frequency lower than the common-mode frequency.

AD8220 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
AC-COUPLED INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
Measuring small signals that are in the noise or offset of the amplifier can be a challenge. Figure 64 shows a circuit that can improve the resolution of small ac signals. The large gain reduces the referred input noise of the amplifier to 14 nV/√Hz. Therefore, smaller signals can be measured because the noise floor is lower. DC offsets that would have been gained by 100 are eliminated from the AD8220 output by the integrator feedback network. At low frequencies, the OP1177 forces the AD8220 output to 0 V. Once a signal exceeds fHIGH-PASS, the AD8220 outputs the amplified input signal.

DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT
In certain applications, it is necessary to create a differential signal. New high resolution ADCs often require a differential input. In other cases, transmission over a long distance can require differential processing for better immunity to interference. Figure 65 shows how to configure the AD8220 to output a differential signal. An OP1177 op amp is used to create a differential voltage. Errors from the op amp are common to both outputs and are thus common mode. Likewise, errors from using mismatched resistors cause a common-mode dc offset error. Such errors are rejected in differential signal processing by differential input ADCs or instrumentation amplifiers. When using this circuit to drive a differential ADC, VREF can be set using a resistor divider from the reference of the ADC to make the output ratiometric with the ADC as shown in Figure 66.

ELECTROCARDIOGRAM SIGNAL CONDITIONING
The AD8220 makes an excellent input amplifier for next generation ECGs. Its small size, high CMRR over frequency, rail-to-rail output, and JFET inputs are well suited for this application. Potentials measured on the skin range from 0.2 mV to 2 mV. The AD8220 solves many of the typical challenges of measuring these body surface potentials. The high CMRR of the AD8220 helps reject common-mode signals that come in the form of line noise or high frequency EMI from equipment in the operating room. Its rail-to-rail output offers a wide dynamic range allowing for higher gains than would be possible using other instrumentation amplifiers. JFET inputs offer a large input capacitance of 5 pF. A natural RC filter is formed reducing high frequency noise when series input resistors are used in front of the AD8220 (see the RF Interference section). In addition, the AD8220 JFET inputs have ultralow input bias current and no current noise, making it useful for ECG applications where there are often large impedances. The MSOP and the optimal pinout of the AD8220 allow smaller footprints and more efficient layout, paving the way for next-generation portable ECGs. Figure 67 shows an example ECG schematic. Following the AD8220 is a 0.033 Hz high-pass filter, formed by the 4.7 μF capacitor and the 1 MΩ resistor, which removes the dc offset that develops between the electrodes. An additional gain of 50, provided by the AD8618, makes use of the 0 V to 5 V input range of the ADC. An active, fifth-order, low-pass Bessel filter removes signals greater than approximately 160 Hz. An OP2177 buffers, inverts, and gains the common-mode voltage taken at the midpoint of the AD8220 gain setting resistors. This rightleg drive circuit helps cancel common-mode signals by inverting the common-mode signal and driving it back into the body. A 499 kΩ series resistor at the output of the OP2177 limits the current driven into the body.
