The AD8278 and AD8279 operate on single supplies (2.0 V to 36 V)
or dual supplies (±2 V to ±18 V). The maximum quiescent supply
current is 200 μA, which is ideal for battery-operated and portable
systems. For unity-gain difference amplifiers with similar
performance, refer to the AD8276 and AD8277 data sheets.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8278 and AD8279 can be used as difference amplifiers with
G = ½ or G = 2. They can also be connected in a high precision,
single-ended configuration for non inverting and inverting gains of
−½, −2, +3, +2, +1½, +1, or +½. The AD8278 and AD8279
provide an integrated precision solution that has a smaller size,
lower cost, and better performance than a discrete alternative.

The common-mode range of the amplifier extends to almost
triple the supply voltage (for G = ½), making the amplifer ideal
for single-supply applications that require a high commonmode voltage range. The internal resistors and ESD circuitry at
the inputs also provide overvoltage protection to the op amp.

APPLICATIONS
The AD8278 and AD8279 are general-purpose difference
amplifiers intended for precision signal conditioning in power
critical applications that require both high performance and low
power. The AD8278 and AD8279 provide exceptional commonmode rejection ratio (80 dB) and high bandwidth while amplifying
input signals that are well beyond the supply rails. The on-chip
resistors are laser trimmed for excellent gain accuracy and high
CMRR. They also have extremely low gain drift vs. temperature.

The AD8278 is available in the space-saving 8-lead MSOP and
SOIC packages, and the AD8279 is offered in a 14-lead SOIC
package. Both are specified for performance over the industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C and are fully RoHS
compliant.
