The AD8295 contains all the components necessary for a
precision instrumentation amplifier front end in one small
4 mm × 4 mm package. It contains a high performance
instrumentation amplifier, two general-purpose operational
amplifiers, and two precisely matched 20 kΩ resistors.
The AD8295 is designed to make PCB routing easy and
efficient. The AD8295 components are arranged in a logical
way so that typical application circuits have short routes and
few vias. Unlike most chip scale packages, the AD8295 does not
have an exposed metal pad on the back of the part, which frees
additional space for routing and vias. The logical pin arrangement and routing freedom enable the AD8295 to offer simple
pin-strapped solutions for complex systems in the equivalent
board space of a typical MSOP package.

See www.analog.com for the latest selection of instrumentation amplifiers.
The AD8295 includes a high performance, programmable gain
instrumentation amplifier. Gain is set from 1 to 1000 with a
single resistor. The low noise and excellent common-mode
rejection of the AD8295 enable the part to easily detect small
signals even in the presence of large common-mode interference.
For a similar instrumentation amplifier without the associated
signal conditioning circuitry, see the AD8221 or AD8222 data
sheet.
The AD8295 operates on both single and dual supplies and is
well suited for applications where ±10 V input voltages are
encountered. Performance is specified over the entire industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C for all grades. The
AD8295 is operational from −40°C to +125°C; see the Typical
Performance Characteristics section for expected operation up
to 125°C.

AD8295
THEORY OF OPERATION
As shown in Figure 58, the AD8295 contains a precision
instrumentation amplifier, two uncommitted op amps, and a
precision resistor array. These components allow many common
applications to be wired using simple pin-strapping, directly at
the IC. This not only saves printed circuit board (PCB) space
but also improves circuit performance because both temperature
drift and resistor tolerance errors are reduced.

UNCOMMITTED OP AMPS
The AD8295 has two uncommitted op amps that can be used
independently. These op amps allow simple pin-strapping for
many common applications circuits.
Op Amp A1 has its inverting input connected to a precision 2:1
voltage divider resistor network. Because this network is internal
to the IC, these resistors are closely matched and also track each
other, with temperature variations. Op Amp A1 and the associated
resistor network can be used to create either a noninverting gain
stage of 2 or an inverting gain stage of −1 with excellent gain
accuracy and gain drift.
The AD8295 defaults to G = 1 when no gain resistor is used.
Gain accuracy is a combination of both the RG accuracy and
the accuracy listed in the specifications in Table 2, including
accuracy over temperature. Gain error and gain drift are kept
to a minimum when the gain resistor is not used.
Common-Mode Input Voltage Range
The AD8295 in-amp architecture applies gain internally and
then removes the common-mode voltage. Therefore, internal
nodes in the AD8295 experience a combination of both the
gained signal and the common-mode signal. This combined
signal can be limited by the voltage supplies even when the
individual input and output signals are not. Figure 7 through
Figure 10 show the allowable common-mode input voltage
ranges for various output voltages and supply voltages.
If Figure 7 through Figure 10 indicate that internal voltage
limiting may be an issue, the common-mode range can be
significantly improved by lowering the gain in the instrumentation amplifier by one half and applying a second G = 2 stage.
Figure 59 shows how to do this amplification with the internal
circuitry of the AD8295, requiring no additional external
components.
Op Amp A2 is a more conventional op amp, with standard
inverting and noninverting inputs and an output.
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
Gain Selection
The transfer function of the AD8295 is
VOUT = G × (VIN+ − VIN−) + VREF
TOTAL GAIN = IN-AMP GAIN × 2
where placing a resistor across the RG terminals sets the gain of
the AD8295 according to the following equation:

AD8295
Reference Terminal
The output voltage of the AD8295 instrumentation amplifier
is developed with respect to the potential on the reference
terminal (REF). This is useful when the output signal needs
to be offset to a precise dc level.
The reference pin input can be driven slightly beyond the rails.
The REF pin is protected with ESD diodes, and the REF voltage
should not exceed either +VS or −VS by more than 0.3 V.
For best performance, the source impedance to the REF terminal
should be kept below 1 Ω. Additional impedance at the REF
terminal can significantly degrade the CMRR of the amplifier.
When the reference source has significant output impedance
(for example, a resistive voltage divider), buffer the signal before
driving the REF pin. Internal Op Amp A1 or A2 can be used for
this purpose, as shown in Figure 60.

Figure 60, Capacitor C is added to filter out any high frequency
noise on the positive power supply line. For very clean supplies,
the capacitor may not be needed. The filter frequency is a tradeoff between noise rejection and start-up time, and is given by
the following equation:

LAYOUT
The AD8295 is a high precision device. To ensure optimum
performance at the PCB level, care must be taken in the board
layout. The AD8295 pins are arranged in a logical manner to
aid in this task.
Routing and Vias
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 AD8295 or to a
voltage that is referenced to the local ground of the AD8295.
Common-Mode Rejection over Frequency
The AD8295 has a higher CMRR over frequency than typical
in-amps, which gives it greater immunity to disturbances such
as line noise and its associated harmonics. The AD8295 pinout
and hidden paddle package were designed so that the board
designer can take full advantage of this performance with a
well-implemented layout.
Poor layout can cause some of the common-mode signal to be
converted to a differential signal before it reaches the in-amp.
Such conversions occur when one input path has a frequency
response that is different from the other. To keep CMRR across
frequency high, the input source impedance and capacitance of
each path should be closely matched. Additional source resistance
in the input path (for example, for input protection) should be
placed close to the in-amp inputs to minimize their interaction
with parasitic capacitance from the PCB traces.
Parasitic capacitance at the gain setting pins can also affect
CMRR over frequency. The traces to the RG resistor should be
kept as short as possible. If the board design has a component
at the gain setting pins (for example, a switch or jumper), the
part should be chosen so that the parasitic capacitance is as
small as possible.
Unused Op Amps
When not in use, the internal op amps should be connected in a
unity-gain configuration, with the noninverting input connected
to a bias point in the input range of the op amp. These connections
ensure that the AD8295 op amp uses minimum power and does
not disturb the internal power supplies of the AD8295. These
connections are shown as dotted lines in several of the applications figures.
Reference
The output voltage of the instrumentation amplifier section of
the AD8295 is developed with respect to the potential on the
reference terminal (REF); care should be taken to tie the REF
pin to the appropriate local ground (see Figure 61).
Unlike most LFCSP packages, the AD8295 package was designed
without the thermal pad to allow routes and vias directly beneath
the chip. However, the manufacturing process leaves a very small
section of exposed metal at each of the package corners. This metal
is connected to –VS through the part. Because of the possibility
of a short, vias should not be placed under this exposed metal.

All terminals of the AD8295 are protected against ESD by
diodes at the inputs. If voltages beyond the supplies are anticipated, resistors should be placed in series with the inputs to
limit the current. Resistors should be chosen so that current
does not exceed 6 mA into the internal ESD diodes in the overload condition. These resistors can be the same as those used
for RFI protection. (See the RF Interference section for more
information.)
For applications where the AD8295 encounters extreme
overload voltages, as in cardiac defibrillators, external series
resistors and low leakage diode clamps, such as BAV199Ls,
FJH1100s, or SP720s can be used.

RF INTERFERENCE
RF interference is often a problem when amplifiers are used in
applications where there are strong RF signals. The precision
circuits in the AD8295 can rectify the RF signals so that they
appear as a dc offset voltage error. To avoid this rectification,
place a low-pass filter before the input. Figure 63 shows such a
network in front of the instrumentation amplifier. The filter
limits both the differential and common-mode bandwidth, as
shown in the following equations:
The input bias currents of the AD8295 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 62. Otherwise, the input currents charge up the input
capacitance until the in-amp is turned off or saturated.

DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT
The AD8295 can be pin-strapped to provide a differential
output; the simplified schematic is shown in Figure 64 and the
full pin connection is shown in Figure 65. This configuration
uses the instrumentation amplifier to maintain the differential
voltage, while the op amp maintains the common-mode voltage.
Because the in-amp precisely controls the output relative to its
reference pin, this circuit has the same excellent dc performance
as the single-ended output configuration. The transfer function
for the differential and common-mode outputs are as follows:

An alternative differential output configuration, which also
requires no external components, is shown in Figure 66. Unlike
the circuits shown in Figure 64 and Figure 65, this configuration
uses an inverting op amp configuration to double the gain from
the instrumentation amplifier. Because this configuration requires
less gain from the instrumentation amplifier, it can have a wider
frequency response and a wider input common-mode range vs.
output voltage. However, because it does not take advantage of
feedback at the reference pin of the instrumentation amplifier,
dc performance includes the errors from the op amp and the
resistor network. When using the internal precision components
of the AD8295, these errors have a minimal effect on overall
accuracy. This configuration is not specified in this data sheet.

Lower cutoff frequencies improve RFI robustness. Accuracy of
the CC capacitors is important, because any mismatch between
the R × CC at the positive input and the R × CC at the negative
input degrades the CMRR of the AD8295. Keeping CD at least
10 times larger than CC is recommended.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
A reference voltage other than ground is often useful, for
example, when driving a single-supply ADC. Creating a
reference voltage derived from a voltage divider is straightforward with the AD8295 (see Figure 67). In this configuration,
Op Amp A2 is used to provide a buffered VS/2 reference for the
in-amp section. This configuration is very similar to the one
described in the Reference Terminal section.
Note that the internal resistors of Op Amp A1 are not used
to provide VS/2. Instead, external 1% (or better) resistors are
used. Because the negative input of Op Amp A1 is permanently
connected to the junction of internal resistors R1 and R2,
Op Amp A1 operates as a low voltage clamp, preventing the
resistor string from providing a convenient VS/2 voltage.
Noise at the reference feeds directly to the output, so if the
reference voltage is derived from a noisy source, filtering is
required. In Figure 67, Capacitor C1 has been added to filter
out high frequency noise on the positive power supply line.
The 10 μF capacitor and the 100 kΩ resistors shown in Figure 67
roll off noise starting at 0.3 Hz. The filter frequency is a tradeoff between noise rejection and start-up time.
+VS
HIGH ACCURACY G = −1 CONFIGURATION WITH
LOW-PASS FILTER
The circuit in Figure 68 uses Op Amp A1 and the resistor string
to provide a precise G = −1 configuration. Because no external
resistors are used to set the gain, gain accuracy and gain drift
depend only on the internally matched resistors, yielding excellent performance.
Adding a capacitor across Resistor R2 is a simple way to provide
a single-pole low-pass filter that rolls off at 20 dB per decade.
This capacitor is shown as C1 in Figure 68.

If the connections to Pin 10 and Pin 11 in Figure 68 are changed
so that Pin 10 connects to ground and Pin 11 connects to the
in-amp output, the result is a G = 2 circuit, also with excellent
gain accuracy and drift. In the G = 2 configuration, Capacitor C1
lowers the gain from 2 to 1 at higher frequencies.

TWO-POLE SALLEN-KEY FILTER
AC-COUPLED INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
Figure 69 shows the in-amp output section of the AD8295 being
low-pass filtered using a two-pole Sallen-Key filter. The filter
section consists of Op Amp A2, External Resistors R1 and R2,
as well as Capacitors C1 and C2. Resistor R3 compensates for
input offset current errors and is equal to the parallel combination
of R1 and R2. The ratio of capacitance between C1 and C2 sets
the filter quality factor, Q. For most applications, a filter Q of 0.5
to 0.7 provides a good trade-off between performance and stability. High Q, nonpolarized capacitors, such as NPO ceramic,
should be used. The exact pole frequencies are dependent on
the tolerance of the resistors and capacitors used.
The circuit in Figure 70 provides a single-pole high-pass filter,
using only one external capacitor.

At higher frequencies, the gain of Op Amp A1 drops and the
op amp is no longer able to maintain the in-amp output at 0 V.
Therefore, at frequencies above the RC filter bandwidth, the
in-amp operates in a normal manner, and the signal appears at
the output.

At low frequencies, Capacitor C1 has a high impedance, thus
operating Op Amp A1 at high gain (G = XC/20 kΩ). Because of
its high gain, Op Amp A1 is able to drive the in-amp reference
pin until it forces the output of the in-amp to 0 V. Therefore, no
signal appears at the circuit output.
AD8295
If the application requires a lower frequency antialiasing filter
than the one shown, increasing the capacitor values produces
much better distortion results than increasing the resistor values.
DRIVING DIFFERENTIAL ADCs
Figure 71 shows how to configure the AD8295 to drive a differential ADC. The circuit shown uses very little board space and
consumes little power. With the AD7690, this configuration
gives excellent dc performance and a THD of 83 dB (10 kHz
input). For applications that need better distortion performance,
a dedicated ADC driver, such as the ADA4941-1 or ADA4922-1
is recommended.
The 500 Ω resistors also protect the ADC against overvoltage.
Because the AD8295 runs on wider supply voltages than a typical ADC, there is a possibility of overdriving some converters.
This is not an issue with a PulSAR® ADC, such as the AD7690,
because its input can handle a 130 mA overdrive, which is much
higher than the short-circuit limit of the AD8295. However,
other converters have less robust inputs and may benefit from
the resistive protection.
The 500 Ω resistors and the 2.2 nF capacitors form a low-pass,
antialiasing filter at 144 kHz. The four elements of the filter also
prevent the switching transients produced by a typical SAR ADC
from destabilizing the AD8295. The capacitors provide charge to
the switched-capacitor front end of the ADC, and the resistors
shield the AD8295 from driving any sharp current changes.
