Figure 1. Simplified Schematic
The high precision input is provided by the two input
transistor Q1 and Q2 (Figure 1) and this results in 10 ×
lower bias current of the input pins. The constant
collector current of Q1 and Q2 is maintained by the two
loops Q1-A1-R1 and Q2-A2-R2, so the input voltage is
impressed across the gain setting resistor RG of the
amplifier. The differential gain from A1/A2 outputs can
be expressed by G = 1+ (R1+R2)/RG. The unity-gain
subtractor (A3) can reject the common mode signal so
that SGM621A produces a single-ended output with
REF pin biased.
The gain-bandwidth product which is determined by
the two capacitors C1, C2 and the transconductance of
the pre-amplifier can increase with programmed gain,
so that the frequency response is enhanced.
The transconductance of the pre-amplifier is determined
by the resistance of RG. The transconductance will
increase gradually to that of the input transistors if the
resistance of RG is reduced for larger gains. The
important benefits are shown below:
The equation of gain is shown as below:
Boosting the open-loop gain can also increase the
programmed gain, so that the related error of gain is
reduced.

Reducing the input voltage noise to 6nV/√Hz, and it is
determined by the base resistance and the collector
current of the input.
The integrated resistors (R1 and R2) inside the
SGM621A are set to 24.7kΩ, so that the gain can be
programmed with the external resistor RG.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Pressure Measurement
SGM621A is widely used in the application of bridge, such as measuring the pressure in weigh scales. It is also
suitable for detecting the pressure sensor with higher resistance due to high input impedance.
Figure 2 shows the pressure transducer bridge of 5kΩ which is powered by a 5V single supply. In such a circuit, the
bridge consumes only 1mA. The buffered voltage divider and SGM621A can condition the output signal with typical
3.3mA supply current.
The advantage of small size for SGM621A is attractive for the transducers of pressure. Because of the low noise
and drift, it can also be used in the application of diagnostic non-invasive blood pressure measurement.

Figure 2. The Operation of the Pressure Monitor Circuit with 5V Single Supply
Medical ECG Amplifier
Because of the advantage of low current noise, SGM621A can be used in ECG monitors (Figure 3) where the source
resistances can reach 1MΩ or higher. It is the best choice to use SGM621A in the battery-powered data recorders as
it can operate on the condition of low supply voltage, low power and space-saving packages.
Moreover, for better performance, combining with the advantages of low voltage noise, low current and low bias
currents can enhance the dynamic range of SGM621A.
The stability of the right leg drive loop can be maintained by the capacitor C1. Moreover, for protecting the patient
from the possible harm, the isolation safeguards should be added between the patient and the circuit part.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Precision V-I Converter
It’s easy to realize a precision current source (Figure 4)
utilizing one SGM621A, another operational amplifier
and two resistors. To obtain a better CMRR of
SGM621A, a buffer should be placed between the REF
pin and the OUT pin of the amplifier. The equation
which is shown in Figure 4 illustrates the output current
of the circuit.

Input and Output Offset Voltage
Two main sources which are error of input and output
result in the low errors of SGM621A. When referred to
the input, the output error should be divided by the gain
of the instrumentation amplifier. From the equations
which are shown as below, the input error takes a
leading position at large gains while the output error
takes a leading position at small gains.
Total Error Referred to Input (RTI) = Input Error +
(Output Error/G)
Total Error Referred to Output (RTO) = (Input Error × G)
+ Output Error
Terminal of Reference
Potential of the reference terminal defines the zero
output voltage. It becomes extremely useful while the
load is not tied to the precise ground of the rest of the
system. The reference terminal provides one way to
bias a precise voltage to the output, and the reference
voltage should be in the range of 2V within the supply
voltages. On top of these, to keep better CMRR, the
parasitic resistor at this pin should be low.

The gain of the instrumentation amplifier is determined
by the external resistor RG. The accuracy of the
external resistor RG is important as it may influence the
error of gain. It is recommended that selecting the
resistor with 0.1% or 1% precision is a good choice.
The following table shows the gain effect with the
selection of 1% or 0.1% precision resistor. Also, leaving
the pin 2 and pin 3 (the place of RG) open can make the
gain of SGM621A equals to 1.

Selection of Gain
As mentioned before, the gain error can be minimized
by equivalent parasitic resistor in series with RG.
Moreover, low TC of 1ppm/ ℃ is required for the
selection of RG to avoid the gain drift of SGM621A.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
RF Interference
One of the characteristics of instrumentation amplifier is
rectifying the small signal which is out of the band. This
kind of disturbance can be described as the small
biased voltage. All of the high frequency components
can be filtered by the R-C network which is placed in
the input position of the instrumentation amplifier, as
shown in Figure 6. The following equation shows the
equation of filtering frequency for the differential and
common mode part of the input signal.
FilterFreqDIFF =
1
2πR ( 2CD + CC )
FilterFreqCM =
1
2πRCC
CD ≥ 10CC is required in the above equation.
The capacitor CD influences the quality of the differential
signal, while CC influences the quality of the common
mode signal. The common mode rejection ratio would
be reduced if the R × CC is mismatched. To reduce this
negative influence and obtain a good CMRR, it is
recommended that the capacitance of CD should be 10
times larger than CC. To conclude, the larger the ratio of
CD:CC is, the less negative influence to the circuit.
Common Mode Rejection
The common mode rejection ratio of the instrumentation
amplifier is high as it can measure the differential signal
between the two inputs when both IN+ and IN- increase
or decrease equally. Also, this specification can be
defined in the whole range of input voltage.
To obtain a best CMRR, it is recommended that the
REF pin should be connected to a low impedance input
and the difference of impedance between two inputs
should be as small as possible. Also, using shielded
cable can effectively reduce the noise of the circuit, and
it should be driven properly for better value of CMRR.
The following two figures (Figure 7 and Figure 8)
illustrate the method to increase the CMRR for
alternating circuit by bootstrapping the capacitance of
the shielded cable, and this kind of method can also
reduce the mismatching of capacitance at the inputs.

Isolation of Grounding
For solving the problems of grounding, REF pin should
be connected to the "local ground" as the output of the
instrumentation amplifier is biased with VREF.
Because of the noisy environment of the digital circuit,
the component of data-acquisition such as Analog
Digital Converter (ADC) has two pins which are AGND
and DGND. Also, the isolation can be made by using a
single line or 0Ω resistor. However, each returns of
ground should be separated so that the current flow
from the sensitive point could be minimized. Also, the
ground returns between analog and digital should be
tied together with one point, which is shown in ADC part
of Figure 9.

The bias current (IB) at the inputs is needed for
operating and biasing the transistor at the input stage of
the instrumentation amplifier, so it is also necessary to
design a ground return path for the bias current. For
example, for operating the floating inputs of the
amplifier (see Figure 10 ~ 12), such as AC-coupled
transformer, there should be an electrical line between
the input and the ground for ground return of bias
current.
