GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8224 is the first single-supply junction field effect transistor (JFET) input instrumentation amplifier available in the space-saving 16-lead, 4 mmx4 mm LFCSP. It requires the same board area as a typical single instrumentation amplifier, yet doubles the channel density and offers a lower cost per channel without compromising performance. Designed to meet the needs of high performance, portable instrumentation, the AD8224 has a minimum common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 86 dB at dc and a minimum CMRR of 80 dB at 5 kHz for G = 1. Maximum input bias current is 10 pA and typically remains below 300 pA over the entire industrial temperature range. Despite the JFET inputs, the AD8224 typically has a noise corner of only 10 Hz. With the proliferation of mixed-signal processing, the number of power supplies required in each system has grown. Designed to alleviate this problem, the AD8224 can operate on a 18 V dual supply, as well as on a single +5 V supply. The device's rail-to-rail output stage maximizes dynamic range on the low voltage supplies common in portable applications. Its ability to run on a single 5 V supply eliminates the need for higher voltage, dual supplies. The AD8224 draws a maximum of 750 A of quiescent current per amplifier, making it ideal for battery-powered devices. In addition, the AD8224 can be configured as a single-channel, differential output instrumentation amplifier. Differential outputs provide high noise immunity, which can be useful when the output signal must travel through a noisy environment, such as with remote sensors. The configuration can also be used to drive differential input ADCs. For a single-channel version, use the AD8220 device. Rev.

At approximately 130C, which is the glass transition temperature, the plastic changes its properties. 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 130C for an extended period can result in a loss of functionality.

Simplified Schematic The AD8224 is a JFET input, monolithic instrumentation amplifier based on the classic three op amp topology (see Figure 57). Input Transistor J1 and Input Transistor J2 are biased at a fixed current so that any input signal forces the output voltages of A1 and A2 to change accordingly. The input signal creates a current through RG that flows in R1 and R2 such that the outputs of A1 and A2 provide the correct, gained signal. Topologically, J1, A1, R1 and J2, A2, R2 can be viewed as precision current feedback amplifiers with a gain bandwidth of 1.5 MHz. The common-mode voltage and amplified differential signal from A1 and A2 are applied to a difference amplifier that rejects the common-mode voltage but amplifies the differential signal. The difference amplifier employs 20 k laser trimmed resistors that result in an in-amp with gain error less than 0.04%. New trim techniques were developed to ensure that CMRR exceeds 86 dB (G = 1). Using JFET transistors, the AD8224 offers extremely high input impedance, extremely low bias currents of 10 pA maximum, low offset current of 0.6 pA maximum, and no input bias current noise. In addition, input offset is less than 125 V and drift is less than 5 V/C. Ease of use and robustness were considered. A common problem for instrumentation amplifiers is that at high gains, when the input is overdriven, an excessive milliampere input bias current can result and the output can undergo phase reversal. Overdriving the input at high gains refers to when the input signal is within the supply voltages but the amplifier cannot output the gained signal. For example, at a gain of 100, driving the amplifier with 10 V on 15 V constitutes overdriving the inputs since the amplifier cannot output 100 V. The AD8224 has none of these problems; its input bias current is limited to less than 10 A and the output does not phase reverse under overdrive fault conditions. The AD8224 has extremely low load induced nonlinearity. All amplifiers that comprise the AD8224 have rail-to-rail output capability for enhanced dynamic range. The input of the AD8224 can amplify signals with wide common-mode voltages even slightly lower than the negative supply rail. The AD8224 operates over a wide supply voltage range. It can operate from either a single +4.5 V to +36 V supply or a dual 2.25 V to 18 V. The transfer function of the AD8224 is G =1+ 49.4 k RG Users can easily and accurately set the gain using a single, standard resistor. Since the input amplifiers employ a current feedback architecture, the AD8224 gain bandwidth product increases with gain, resulting in a system that does not experience as much bandwidth loss as voltage feedback architectures at higher gains. GAIN SELECTION Placing a resistor across the RG terminals sets the gain of the AD8224. This is calculated by referring to Table 11 or by using the following gain equation. Rev. PrB | Page 20 of 27 RG = 49.4 k G -1 Preliminary Technical Data AD8224 LAYOUT Table 11.

To ensure optimum performance at the PC board level, care must be taken in the design of the board layout. The AD8224 pinout is arranged in a logical manner to aid in this task. Calculated Gain 1.990 4.984 9.998 19.93 50.40 100.0 199.4 495.0 991.0 Package Considerations The AD8224 is available in a 16-lead, 4 mm x 4 mm LFCSP. Blindly copying the footprint from another 4 mm x 4 mm LFCSP part is not recommended; it may not have the same thermal pad size and leads. Refer to the Outline Dimensions section to verify that the PCB symbol has the correct dimensions. Space between the leads and thermal pad should be kept as wide as possible for the best bias current performance. The AD8224 defaults to G = 1 when no gain resistor is used. The tolerance and gain drift of the RG resistor should be added to the AD8224's specifications to determine the total gain accuracy of the system. When the gain resistor is not used, gain error and gain drift are kept to a minimum. Thermal Pad The AD8224's 4 mm x 4 mm LFCSP comes with a thermal pad. This pad is connected internally to +VS. The pad can either be left unconnected or connected to the positive supply rail. REFERENCE TERMINAL The output voltage of the AD8224 is developed with respect to the potential on the reference 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 REF1 or REF2 pin to level-shift the output so that the AD8224 can drive a singlesupply ADC. Pin REFx is protected with ESD diodes and 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 below 1 . As shown in Figure 57 the reference terminal, REF, is at one end of a 20 k resistor. Additional impedance at the REF terminal adds to this 20 k resistor and results in amplification of the signal connected to the positive input. The amplification from the additional RREF can be computed by The AD8224 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. A well-implemented layout is required to maintain this high performance. Input source impedances should be matched closely. Source resistance should be placed close to the inputs so that it interacts with as little parasitic capacitance as possible. Only the positive signal path is amplified; the negative path is unaffected. This uneven amplification degrades the amplifier's CMRR. CORRECT AD8224 CORRECT AD8224 VREF Because the AD8224 dissipates little power, heat dissipation is rarely an issue. If improved heat dissipation is desired (for example, when driving heavy loads), connect the thermal pad to the positive supply rail. For the best heat dissipation performance, the positive supply rail should be a plane in the board. See the section for thermal coefficients with and without the pad soldered. Common-Mode Rejection over Frequency 2 (20 k + RREF ) 40 k + RREF INCORRECT To preserve maximum pin compatibility with future dual instrumentation amplifiers, leave the pad unconnected. This can be done by not soldering the paddle at all or by soldering the part to a landing that is a not connected to any other net. For high vibration applications, a landing is recommended. Parasitics at the RGx pins can also affect CMRR over frequency. The PCB should be laid out so that the parasitic capacitances at each pin match. Traces from the gain setting resistor to the RGx pins should be kept short to minimize parasitic inductance.

Figure 58. Driving the Reference Pin Rev. PrB | Page 21 of 27 AD8224 Preliminary Technical Data Power Supplies INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN PATH A stable dc voltage should be used to power the instrumentation amplifier. Noise on the supply pins can adversely affect performance. The input bias current of the AD8224 must have a return path to common. When the source, such as a transformer, cannot provide a return current path, one should be created, as shown in Figure 60. The AD8224 has two positive supply pins (Pin 5 and Pin 16) and two negative supply pins (Pin 8 and Pin 13). While the part functions with only one pin from each supply pair connected, both pins should be connected for specified performance and optimum reliability. The AD8224 should be decoupled with 0.1 F bypass capacitors, one for each supply. The positive supply decoupling capacitor should be placed near Pin 16, and the negative supply decoupling capacitor should be placed near Pin 8. Each supply should also be decoupled with a 10 F tantalum capacitor. The tantalum capacitor can be placed further away from the AD8224 and can generally be shared by other precision integrated circuits. Figure 59 shows an example layout. INPUT PROTECTION All terminals of the AD8224 are protected against ESD. ESD protection is guaranteed to 4 kV (human body model).In addition, the input structure allows for dc overload conditions a diode drop above the positive supply and a diode drop below the negative supply. Voltages beyond a diode drop of the supplies cause the ESD diodes to conduct and enable current to flow through the diode. Therefore, an external resistor should be used in series with each of the inputs to limit current for voltages above +Vs. In either scenario, the AD8224 safely handles a continuous 6 mA current at room temperature. For applications where the AD8224 encounters extreme overload voltages, as in cardiac defibrillators, external series resistors and low leakage diode clamps, such as BAV199L, FJH1100, or SP720, should be used. 0.1F INCORRECT CORRECT +VS 15 14 13 AD8224 AD8224 1 12 2 11 3 10 4 9 RG RG 5 6 7 AD8224 REF REF -VS -VS TRANSFORMER TRANSFORMER +VS +VS C 8 C R 1 fHIGH-PASS = 2RC AD8224 C REF AD8224 C REF R 0.1F -VS 06286-059 -VS CAPACITIVELY COUPLED CAPACITIVELY COUPLED Figure 60. Creating an IBIAS Path Figure 59. Example Layout RF INTERFERENCE SOLDER WASH The solder process can leave flux and other contaminants on the board. When these contaminants are between the AD8224 leads and thermal pad, they can create leakage paths that are larger than the AD8224's bias currents. A thorough washing process removes these contaminants and restores the device's excellent bias current performance. RF rectification is often a problem in applications where there are large RF signals. The problem appears as a small dc offset voltage. The AD8224 by its nature has a 5 pF gate capacitance (CG) at its inputs. Matched series resistors form a natural low-pass filter that reduces rectification at high frequency (see Figure 61). The relationship between external, matched series resistors and the internal gate capacitance is expressed as follows: Rev.

The imbalance causes the AD8224 to treat what would have been a common-mode signal as a differential signal. To reduce the effect of mismatched external CC capacitors, select a value of CD greater than 10 times CC. This sets the differential filter frequency lower than the common-mode frequency. +15V +15V 10F + 0.1F CC +IN 4.02k +IN CD CG R -IN CG -VS VOUT AD8224 10nF R VOUT AD8224 -VS + 1nF R R 10F REF -IN 4.02k CC 1nF REF 0.1F 10F + -15V 10F Figure 62.

RFI Filtering Without External Capacitors To eliminate high frequency common-mode signals while using smaller source resistors, a low-pass R-C network can be placed at the input of the instrumentation amplifier (see Figure 62). The filter limits the input signal bandwidth according to the following relationship: FilterFreq DIFF = 06286-062 0.1F 1 2R(CC + CG ) 1 2R(2 CD + CC + CG ) The three op amp architecture of the AD8224 applies gain and then removes the common-mode voltage. Therefore, internal nodes in the AD8224 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 26, Figure 27, Figure 28, and Figure 29 show the allowable common-mode input voltage ranges for various output voltages, supply voltages, and gains. Rev. PrB | Page 23 of 27 AD8224 Preliminary Technical Data APPLICATIONS +IN An instrumentation amplifier is often used in front of an analog-todigital converter to provide CMRR and additional conditioning such as a voltage level shift and gain (see Figure 63). In this example, a 2.7 nF capacitor and a 500 resistor create an anti aliasing filter for the AD7685. The 2.7 nF capacitor also serves to store and deliver necessary charge to the switched capacitor input of the ADC. The 500 series resistor reduces the burden of the 2.7 nF load from the amplifier. However, large source impedance in front of the ADC can degrade total harmonic distortion (THD). ADR435 4.7F +IN 50mV REF 2.7nF AD7685 -IN 06286-063 +2.5V Figure 63. Driving an ADC in a Low Frequency Application REF2 -OUT Figure 64. Differential Circuit Schematic Setting the Common-Mode Voltage The output common-mode voltage is set by the average of +IN2 and REF2. The transfer function is VCM_OUT = (V+OUT + V-OUT)/2 = (V+IN2 + VREF2)/2 The differential configuration of the AD8224 has the same excellent dc precision specifications as the single-ended output configuration and is recommended for applications in the frequency range of dc to 100 kHz. The circuit configuration, outlined in Table 7, refers to the configuration shown in Figure 64 only. The circuit includes an RC filter that maintains the stability of the loop. The transfer function for the differential output is: VDIFF_OUT = V+OUT - V-OUT = (V+IN - V-IN) x G A common application sets the common-mode output voltage to the midscale of a differential ADC. In this case, the ADC reference voltage is sent to the +IN2 terminal, and ground is connected to the REF2 terminal. This produces a commonmode output voltage of half the ADC reference voltage. 2-Channel Differential Output Using a Dual Op Amp DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT Another differential output topology is shown in Figure 65. Instead of a second in-amp, 1/2 of a dual OP2177 op amp creates the inverted output. Because the OP2177 comes in an MSOP, this configuration allows the creation of a dual channel, precision differential output in-amp with little board area. Errors from the op amp are common to both outputs and are thus common mode. Errors from mismatched resistors also create a common-mode dc offset. Because these errors are common mode, they are likely to be rejected by the next device in the signal chain. where: G =1+ +IN2 500 AD8224 1.07k 33pF +IN2 and REF2 have different properties that allow the reference voltage to be easily set for a wide variety of applications. +IN2 has high impedance but cannot swing to the supply rails of the part.

At worst, a small series resistor can load the AD8224, potentially causing the output to overshoot or ring. In such cases, a buffer amplifier, such as the AD8615, should be used after the AD8224 to drive the ADC.

Driving a Differential ADC DRIVING A DIFFERENTIAL INPUT ADC Reference The AD8224 can be configured in differential output mode to drive a differential analog-to-digital converter. Figure 66 illustrates several of the concepts. The ADR435 supplies a reference voltage to both the ADC and the AD8224. Because REF2 on the AD8224 is grounded, the common-mode output voltage is precisely half the reference voltage, exactly where it needs to be for the ADC. The 1 k resistor, 1000 pF capacitor, and 100 pF capacitors in front of the in-amp form a 76 kHz filter. This is the first of two antialiasing filters in the circuit and helps to reduce the noise of the system. The 100 pF capacitors protect against commonmode RFI signals. Note that they are 5% COG/NPO types. These capacitors match well over time and temperature, which keeps the system's CMRR high over frequency. Second Antialiasing Filter An 806 resistor and 2.7 nF capacitor are located between each AD8224 output and ADC input. They create a 73 kHz low-pass filter for another stage of antialiasing protection. DRIVING CABLING All cables have a certain capacitance per unit length, which varies widely with cable type. The capacitive load from the cable may cause peaking in the AD8224 output response. To reduce peaking, use a resistor between the AD8224 and the cable. Because cable capacitance and desired output response vary widely, this resistor is best determined empirically. A good starting point is 50 . The AD8224 operates at a low enough frequency that transmission line effects are rarely an issue; therefore, the resistor need not match the characteristic impedance of the cable. These four elements also isolate the ADC from loading the AD8224. The 806 resistor shields the AD8224 from the ADC's switched capacitor input which looks like a time varying load. The 2.7 nF capacitor provides charge to the switched capacitor front end of the ADC. If the application requires a lower frequency antialiasing filter, increase the value of the capacitor rather than the resistor. The 1 k resistors can also protect an ADC from overvoltages. Because the AD8224 runs on wider supply voltages than a typical ADC, there is a possibility of overdriving the ADC. This is not an issue with a PulSAR(R) converter, such as the AD7688. Its input can handle a 130 mA overdrive, which is much higher than the short-circuit limit of the AD8224. However, other converters have less robust inputs and may need the added protection. Rev.
