They provide exceptional common-mode rejection ratio (86 dB) and high bandwidth while amplifying signals 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 common-mode range of the amplifiers extends to almost double the supply voltage, making these amplifiers ideal for singlesupply applications that require a high common-mode voltage range. The internal resistors and ESD circuitry at the inputs also provide overvoltage protection to the op amps. The AD8276/AD8277 are unity-gain stable. While they are optimized for use as difference amplifiers, they can also be connected in high precision, single-ended configurations with G = -1, +1, +2. The AD8276/AD8277 provide an integrated precision solution that has smaller size, lower cost, and better performance than a discrete alternative. The AD8276/AD8277 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 A per channel, which is ideal for batteryoperated and portable systems. -INB 6 +INB 5 40k 40k 4 -VS 07692-052 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Figure 2. AD8277 Table 1.

Maximum Power Dissipation vs. Ambient Temperature SHORT-CIRCUIT CURRENT The AD8276/AD8277 have built-in, short-circuit protection that limits the output current (see Figure 25 for more information). While the short-circuit condition itself does not damage the part, the heat generated by the condition can cause the part to exceed its maximum junction temperature, with corresponding negative effects on reliability. Figure 3 and Figure 25, combined with knowledge of the supply voltages and ambient temperature of the part, can be used to determine whether a short circuit will cause the part to exceed its maximum junction temperature. The JA values in Table 5 assume a 4-layer JEDEC standard board with zero airflow.

At approximately 150C, which is the glass transition temperature, the properties of the plastic change. Even temporarily exceeding this temperature limit may change the stresses that the package exerts on the die, permanently shifting the parametric performance of the amplifiers. Exceeding a temperature of 150C for an extended period may result in a loss of functionality. Rev.

Channel Separation Rev. C | Page 13 of 20 AD8276/AD8277 Data Sheet THEORY OF OPERATION CIRCUIT INFORMATION AC Performance Each channel of the AD8276/AD8277 consists of a low power, low noise op amp and four laser-trimmed on-chip resistors. These resistors can be externally connected to make a variety of amplifier configurations, including difference, noninverting, and inverting configurations. Taking advantage of the integrated resistors of the AD8276/AD8277 provides the designer with several benefits over a discrete design, including smaller size, lower cost, and better ac and dc performance. Component sizes and trace lengths are much smaller in an IC than on a PCB, so the corresponding parasitic elements are also smaller. This results in better ac performance of the AD8276/ AD8277. For example, the positive and negative input terminals of the AD8276/AD8277 op amps are intentionally not pinned out. By not connecting these nodes to the traces on the PCB, the capacitance remains low, resulting in improved loop stability and excellent common-mode rejection over frequency. DRIVING THE AD8276/AD8277 +VS 7 Care should be taken to drive the AD8276/AD8277 with a low impedance source: for example, another amplifier. Source resistance of even a few kilohms (k) can unbalance the resistor ratios and, therefore, significantly degrade the gain accuracy and common-mode rejection of the AD8276/AD8277. Because all configurations present several kilohms of input resistance, the AD8276/AD8277 do not require a high current drive from the source and so are easy to drive.

Functional Block Diagram DC Performance Much of the dc performance of op amp circuits depends on the accuracy of the surrounding resistors. Using superposition to analyze a typical difference amplifier circuit, as is shown in Figure 39, the output voltage is found to be R2 1 + R4 - V IN - R4 VOUT = V IN + R1 + R2 R3 R3 This equation demonstrates that the gain accuracy and commonmode rejection ratio of the AD8276/AD8277 is determined primarily by the matching of resistor ratios. Even a 0.1% mismatch in one resistor degrades the CMRR to 66 dB for a G = 1 difference amplifier. The AD8276/AD8277 are able to measure input voltages beyond the supply rails. The internal resistors divide down the voltage before it reaches the internal op amp and provide protection to the op amp inputs. Figure 39 shows an example of how the voltage division works in a difference amplifier configuration. For the AD8276/AD8277 to measure correctly, the input voltages at the input nodes of the internal op amp must stay below 1.5 V of the positive supply rail and can exceed the negative supply rail by 0.1 V. Refer to the Power Supplies section for more details.

As a result, the AD8276/AD8277 provide superior performance over a discrete solution, enabling better CMRR, gain accuracy, and gain drift, even over a wide temperature range. 07692-033 IN- 2 07692-031 AD8276 Figure 39. Voltage Division in the Difference Amplifier Configuration The AD8276/AD8277 have integrated ESD diodes at the inputs that provide overvoltage protection. This feature simplifies system design by eliminating the need for additional external protection circuitry, and enables a more robust system. The voltages at any of the inputs of the parts can safely range from +VS - 40 V up to -VS + 40 V. For example, on 10 V supplies, input voltages can go as high as 30 V. Care should be taken to not exceed the +VS - 40 V to -VS + 40 V input limits to avoid risking damage to the parts. Rev. C | Page 14 of 20 Data Sheet AD8276/AD8277 The AD8276/AD8277 operate extremely well over a very wide range of supply voltages. They can operate on a single supply as low as 2 V and as high as 36 V, under appropriate setup conditions. For best performance, the user must exercise care that the setup conditions ensure that the internal op amp is biased correctly. The internal input terminals of the op amp must have sufficient voltage headroom to operate properly. Proper operation of the part requires at least 1.5 V between the positive supply rail and the op amp input terminals. This relationship is expressed in the following equation: The AD8276/AD8277 are typically specified at single- and dualsupplies, but they can be used with unbalanced supplies, as well; for example, -VS = -5 V, +VS = 20 V. The difference between the two supplies must be kept below 36 V. The positive supply rail must be at least 2 V above the negative supply and reference voltage. R1 (V ) R1 + R2 REF R4 R3 R1 R2 R1 V REF < + VS - 1.5 V R1 + R2 VREF R1 (V ) R1 + R2 REF For example, when operating on a +VS = 2 V single supply and VREF = 0 V, it can be seen from Figure 40 that the input terminals of the op amp are biased at 0 V, allowing more than the required 1.5 V headroom. However, if VREF = 1 V under the same conditions, the input terminals of the op amp are biased at 0.5 V, barely allowing the required 1.5 V headroom. This setup does not allow any practical voltage swing on the noninverting input. Therefore, the user needs to increase the supply voltage or decrease VREF to restore proper operation. 07692-032 POWER SUPPLIES Figure 40. Ensure Sufficient Voltage Headroom on the Internal Op Amp Inputs Use a stable dc voltage to power the AD8276/AD8277. Noise on the supply pins can adversely affect performance. Place a bypass capacitor of 0.1 F between each supply pin and ground, as close as possible to each supply pin. Use a tantalum capacitor of 10 F between each supply and ground. It can be farther away from the supply pins and, typically, it can be shared by other precision integrated circuits. Rev. C | Page 15 of 20 AD8276/AD8277 Data Sheet APPLICATIONS INFORMATION CONFIGURATIONS IN The AD8276/AD8277 can be configured in several ways (see Figure 42 to Figure 46). All of these configurations have excellent gain accuracy and gain drift because they rely on the internal matched resistors. Note that Figure 43 shows the AD8276/AD8277 as difference amplifiers with a midsupply reference voltage at the noninverting input. This allows the AD8276/AD8277 to be used as a level shifter, which is appropriate in single-supply applications that are referenced to midsupply. 40k 5 OUT 1 6 40k 07692-040 3 40k VOUT = -VIN Figure 44.

Figure 47 shows how the AD8276/AD8277 can be used to convert a single-ended output from an AD8226 instrumentation amplifier into a differential signal. The internal matched resistors of the AD8276 at the inverting input maximize gain accuracy while generating a differential signal. The resistors at the noninverting input can be used as a divider to set and track the common-mode voltage accurately to midsupply, especially when running on a single supply or in an environment where the supply fluctuates. The resistors at the noninverting input can also be shorted and set to any appropriate bias voltage. Note that the VBIAS = VCM node indicated in Figure 47 is internal to the AD8276 because it is not pinned out. Figure 43.

AD8277 Differential Output Configuration AD8276 The two difference amplifiers of the AD8277 can be configured to provide a differential output, as shown in Figure 48. This differential output configuration is suitable for various applications, such as strain gage excitation and single-ended-to-differential conversion. The differential output voltage has a gain of 2 as shown in the following equation: I3 R IC AD8276 V1 R V3 R VC R VDIFF_OUT = V+OUT - V-OUT = 2 x (V+IN - V-IN) 8:1 OP1177 ADC AD8276 CURRENT SOURCE The AD8276 has rail-to-rail output capability that allows higher current outputs. AD8276 07692-057 The AD8276 difference amplifier can be implemented as part of a voltage-to-current converter or a precision constant current source as shown in Figure 49. Using an integrated precision solution such as the AD8276 provides several advantages over a discrete solution, including space-saving, improved gain accuracy, and temperature drift. The internal resistors are tightly matched to minimize error and temperature drift. If the external resistors, R1 and R2, are not well-matched, they become a significant source of error in the system, so precision resistors are recommended to maintain performance. The ADR821 provides a precision voltage reference and integrated op amp that also reduces error in the signal chain. Figure 50.Voltage and Current Monitoring in 3-Phase Power Line Protection Using the AD8276 Figure 50 shows an example of how the AD8276 can be used to monitor voltage and current on a 3-phase power supply. I1 through I3 are the currents to be monitored, and V1 through V3 are the voltages to be monitored on each phase. IC and VC are the common or zero lines. Couplers or transformers interface the power lines to the front-end circuitry and provide attenuation, isolation, and protection. On the current monitoring side, current transformers (CTs) step down the power-line current and isolate the front-end circuitry from the high voltage and high current lines. Across the inputs of each difference amplifier is a shunt resistor that converts the coupled current into a voltage. The value of the Rev. C | Page 17 of 20 AD8276/AD8277 Data Sheet resistor is determined by the characteristics of the coupler or transformer and desired input voltage ranges to the AD8276. On the voltage monitoring side, potential transformers (PTs) are used to provide coupling and galvanic isolation. The PTs present a load to the power line and step down the voltage to a measureable level. The AD8276 helps to build a robust system because it allows input voltages that are almost double its supply voltage, while providing additional input protection in the form of the integrated ESD diodes. Not only does the AD8276 monitor the voltage and currents on the power lines, it is able to reject very high common-mode voltages that may appear at the inputs. The AD8276 also performs the differential-to-single-ended conversion on the input voltages. The 80 k differential input impedance that the AD8276 presents is high enough that it should not load the input signals. Op Amp (A1, A2) AD8506 AD8607 AD8617 AD8667 Features Dual micropower op amp Precision dual micropower op amp Low cost CMOS micropower op amp Dual precision CMOS micropower op amp It is preferable to use dual op amps for the high impedance inputs because they have better matched performance and track each other over temperature. The AD8276 difference amplifiers cancel out common-mode errors from the input op amps, if they track each other. The differential gain accuracy of the inamp is proportional to how well the input feedback resistors (RF) match each other. The CMRR of the in-amp increases as the differential gain is increased (1 + 2RF/RG), but a higher gain also reduces the common-mode voltage range. Note that dual supplies must be used for proper operation of this configuration. Refer to A Designer's Guide to Instrumentation Amplifiers for more design ideas and considerations.

AD8276 Monitoring Current Through a Shunt Resistor Figure 51 shows how the AD8276 can be used to monitor the current through a small shunt resistor. This is useful in power critical applications such as motor control (current sense) and battery monitoring. INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER Resistive temperature detectors (RTDs) are often measured remotely in industrial control systems. The wire lengths needed to connect the RTD to a controller add significant cost and resistance errors to the measurement. The AD8276 difference amplifier is effective in measuring errors caused by wire resistance in remote 3-wire RTD systems, allowing the user to cancel out the errors introduced by the wires. Its excellent gain drift provides accurate measurements and stable performance over a wide temperature range. The AD8276/AD8277 can be used as building blocks for a low power, low cost instrumentation amplifier. An instrumentation amplifier provides high impedance inputs and delivers high common-mode rejection. Combining the AD8276 with an Analog Devices, Inc., low power amplifier (see Table 8) creates a precise, power efficient voltage measurement solution suitable for power critical systems.
