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.
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 42. Simplified Schematic
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). 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 43, 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.

GAIN SELECTION
Placing a resistor across the RG terminals set the gain of AD8221, which can be calculated by referring to Table 5 or by using the gain equation.
Grounding
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. 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 44 and Figure 45.

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.
LAYOUT
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 46, or connected to a voltage that is referenced to the local ground of the AD8221.

Common-Mode Rejection
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. 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.

REFERENCE TERMINAL
As shown in Figure 42, 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 affect CMRR and gain accuracy.

POWER SUPPLY REGULATION AND BYPASSING
A stable dc voltage should be used to power the instrumentation amplifier. Noise on the supply pins can adversely affect performance. Bypass capacitors should be used to decouple the amplifier. A 0.1 μF capacitor should be placed close to each supply pin. As shown in Figure 46, a 10 μF tantalum capacitor can be used further away from the part. In most cases, it can be shared by other precision integrated circuits.

INPUT PROTECTION
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.

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 47.

RF INTERFERENCE
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 48. The filter limits the input signal bandwidth according to the following relationship: FilterFreqDiff = 1 2πR(2CD + CC )
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.
PRECISION STRAIN GAGE
The low offset and high CMRR over frequency of the AD8221 make it an excellent candidate for bridge measurements. As shown in Figure 49, the bridge can be directly connected to the inputs of the amplifier.

CONDITIONING ±10 V SIGNALS FOR A +5 V DIFFERENTIAL INPUT ADC
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 50.

AD8221
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. 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.
