PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1. The AD524 has guaranteed low offset voltage, offset voltage
drift and low noise for precision high gain applications.
The AD524 is a precision monolithic instrumentation amplifier
designed for data acquisition applications requiring high accu-
racy under worst-case operating conditions. An outstanding
combination of high linearity, high common mode rejection, low
offset voltage drift and low noise makes the AD524 suitable for
use in many data acquisition systems.
2. The AD524 is functionally complete with pin programmable
gains of 1, 10, 100 and 1000, and single resistor program-
mable for any gain.
3. Input and output offset nulling terminals are provided for
very high precision applications and to minimize offset volt-
age changes in gain ranging applications.
The AD524 has an output offset voltage drift of less than 25 µV/°C,
input offset voltage drift of less than 0.5 µV/°C, CMR above
90 dB at unity gain (120 dB at G = 1000) and maximum non-
linearity of 0.003% at G = 1. In addition to the outstanding dc
specifications, the AD524 also has a 25 kHz gain bandwidth
product (G = 1000). To make it suitable for high speed data
acquisition systems the AD524 has an output slew rate of 5 V/µs
and settles in 15 µs to 0.01% for gains of 1 to 100.
4. The AD524 is input protected for both power-on and power-
off fault conditions.
5. The AD524 offers superior dynamic performance with a gain
bandwidth product of 25 MHz, full power response of 75 kHz
and a settling time of 15 µs to 0.01% of a 20 V step (G = 100).
As a complete amplifier the AD524 does not require any exter-
nal components for fixed gains of 1, 10, 100 and 1000. For
other gain settings between 1 and 1000 only a single resistor is
required. The AD524 input is fully protected for both power-on
and power-off fault conditions.
The AD524 IC instrumentation amplifier is available in four
different versions of accuracy and operating temperature range.
The economical “A” grade, the low drift “B” grade and lower
drift, higher linearity “C” grade are specified from –25°C to
+85°C. The “S” grade guarantees performance to specification
over the extended temperature range –55°C to +125°C. Devices
are available in 16-lead ceramic DIP and SOIC packages and a
20-terminal leadless chip carrier.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the AD524 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may
occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD
precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

As RG is reduced to increase the programmed gain, the trans-
conductance of the input preamp increases to the transconduct-
ance of the input transistors. This has three important advantages.
First, this approach allows the circuit to achieve a very high
open loop gain of 3 × 108 at a programmed gain of 1000, thus
reducing gain-related errors to a negligible 30 ppm. Second, the
gain bandwidth product, which is determined by C3 or C4 and
the input transconductance, reaches 25 MHz. Third, the input
voltage noise reduces to a value determined by the collector
current of the input transistors for an RTI noise of 7 nV/√Hz at
G = 1000.

INPUT PROTECTION
As interface amplifiers for data acquisition systems, instrumen-
tation amplifiers are often subjected to input overloads, i.e.,
voltage levels in excess of the full scale for the selected gain
range. At low gains, 10 or less, the gain resistor acts as a current
limiting element in series with the inputs. At high gains the
lower value of RG will not adequately protect the inputs from
excessive currents. Standard practice would be to place series
limiting resistors in each input, but to limit input current to
below 5 mA with a full differential overload (36 V) would re-
quire over 7k of resistance which would add 10 nV√Hz of noise.
To provide both input protection and low noise a special series
protect FET was used.

A unique FET design was used to provide a bidirectional cur-
rent limit, thereby, protecting against both positive and negative
overloads. Under nonoverload conditions, three channels CH2,
CH3, CH4, act as a resistance (≈1 kΩ) in series with the input as
before. During an overload in the positive direction, a fourth
channel, CH1, acts as a small resistance (≈3 kΩ) in series with
the gate, which draws only the leakage current, and the FET
limits IDSS. When the FET enhances under a negative overload,
the gate current must go through the small FET formed by CH1
and when this FET goes into saturation, the gate current is
limited and the main FET will go into controlled enhancement.
The bidirectional limiting holds the maximum input current to
3 mA over the 36 V range.

Theory of Operation
The AD524 is a monolithic instrumentation amplifier based on
the classic 3 op amp circuit. The advantage of monolithic con-
struction is the closely matched components that enhance the
performance of the input preamp. The preamp section develops
the programmed gain by the use of feedback concepts. The
programmed gain is developed by varying the value of RG (smaller
values increase the gain) while the feedback forces the collector
currents Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 to be constant, which impresses
the input voltage across RG.
INPUT OFFSET AND OUTPUT OFFSET
Voltage offset specifications are often considered a figure of
merit for instrumentation amplifiers. While initial offset may be
adjusted to zero, shifts in offset voltage due to temperature
variations will cause errors. Intelligent systems can often correct
for this factor with an autozero cycle, but there are many small-
signal high-gain applications that don’t have this capability.

Voltage offset and drift comprise two components each; input
and output offset and offset drift. Input offset is that component
of offset that is directly proportional to gain i.e., input offset as
measured at the output at G = 100 is 100 times greater than at
G = 1. Output offset is independent of gain. At low gains, out-
put offset drift is dominant, while at high gains input offset drift
dominates. Therefore, the output offset voltage drift is normally
specified as drift at G = 1 (where input effects are insignificant),
while input offset voltage drift is given by drift specification at a
high gain (where output offset effects are negligible). All input-
related numbers are referred to the input (RTI) which is to say
that the effect on the output is “G” times larger. Voltage offset
vs. power supply is also specified at one or more gain settings
and is also RTI.
For best results RG should be a precision resistor with a low
temperature coefficient. An external RG affects both gain accuracy
and gain drift due to the mismatch between it and the internal
thin-film resistors. Gain accuracy is determined by the tolerance
of the external RG and the absolute accuracy of the internal resis-
tors (±20%). Gain drift is determined by the mismatch of the
temperature coefficient of RG and the temperature coefficient of
the internal resistors (– 50 ppm/°C typ).

By separating these errors, one can evaluate the total error inde-

both errors can be combined to give a total error referred to the
input (R.T.I.) or output (R.T.O.) by the following formula:

Total Error R.T.I. = input error + (output error/gain)
The second technique uses the internal resistors in parallel with
an external resistor (Figure 32). This technique minimizes the
gain adjustment range and reduces the effects of temperature
coefficient sensitivity.
Total Error R.T.O. = (Gain × input error) + output error
As an illustration, a typical AD524 might have a +250 µV out-
put offset and a –50 µV input offset. In a unity gain configura-
tion, the total output offset would be 200 µV or the sum of the
two. At a gain of 100, the output offset would be –4.75 mV or:
+250 µV + 100(–50 µV) = –4.75 mV.

The AD524 provides for both input and output offset adjust-

mize offset voltage changes in switched gain applications. In
such applications the input offset is adjusted first at the highest
programmed gain, then the output offset is adjusted at G = 1.

put stage. Figure 33 shows an H pad attenuator connected to
the reference and sense lines of the AD524. R1, R2 and R3
should be made as low as possible to minimize the gain variation
and reduction of CMRR. Varying R2 will precisely set the gain
without affecting CMRR. CMRR is determined by the match of

Although instrumentation amplifiers have differential inputs,
there must be a return path for the bias currents. If this is not
provided, those currents will charge stray capacitances, causing
the output to drift uncontrollably or to saturate. Therefore,
when amplifying “floating” input sources such as transformers
and thermocouples, as well as ac-coupled sources, there must
still be a dc path from each input to ground.

COMMON-MODE REJECTION
Common-mode rejection is a measure of the change in output
voltage when both inputs are changed equal amounts. These
specifications are usually given for a full-range input voltage
change and a specified source imbalance. “Common-Mode
Rejection Ratio” (CMRR) is a ratio expression while “Common-
Mode Rejection” (CMR) is the logarithm of that ratio. For
example, a CMRR of 10,000 corresponds to a CMR of 80 dB.
INPUT BIAS CURRENTS
Input bias currents are those currents necessary to bias the input
transistors of a dc amplifier. Bias currents are an additional
source of input error and must be considered in a total error
budget. The bias currents, when multiplied by the source resis-
tance, appear as an offset voltage. What is of concern in calculat-
ing bias current errors is the change in bias current with respect to
signal voltage and temperature. Input offset current is the differ-
ence between the two input bias currents. The effect of offset
current is an input offset voltage whose magnitude is the offset
current times the source impedance imbalance.
In an instrumentation amplifier, ac common-mode rejection is
only as good as the differential phase shift. Degradation of ac
common-mode rejection is caused by unequal drops across
differing track resistances and a differential phase shift due to
varied stray capacitances or cable capacitances. In many appli-
cations shielded cables are used to minimize noise. This tech-
nique can create common mode rejection errors unless the
shield is properly driven. Figures 35 and 36 shows active data
guards that are configured to improve ac common mode rejec-
tion by “bootstrapping” the capacitances of the input cabling,
thus minimizing differential phase shift.

Many data acquisition components have two or more ground
pins that are not connected together within the device. These
grounds must be tied together at one point, usually at the sys-
tem power-supply ground. Ideally, a single solid ground would
be desirable. However, since current flows through the ground
wires and etch stripes of the circuit cards, and since these paths
have resistance and inductance, hundreds of millivolts can be
generated between the system ground point and the data

acquisition components. Separate ground returns should be
provided to minimize the current flow in the path from the sensi-
tive points to the system ground point. In this way supply currents
and logic-gate return currents are not summed into the same
return path as analog signals where they would cause measure-
ment errors.
REFERENCE TERMINAL
The reference terminal may be used to offset the output by up
to ±10 V. This is useful when the load is “floating” or does not
share a ground with the rest of the system. It also provides a
direct means of injecting a precise offset. It must be remem-
bered that the total output swing is ±10 volts to be shared be-
tween signal and reference offset.
Since the output voltage is developed with respect to the poten-
tial on the reference terminal, an instrumentation amplifier can
solve many grounding problems.
When the IA is of the three-amplifier configuration it is neces-
sary that nearly zero impedance be presented to the reference
terminal.
Any significant resistance from the reference terminal to ground
increases the gain of the noninverting signal path, thereby upset-
ting the common-mode rejection of the IA.

In the AD524 a reference source resistance will unbalance the
CMR trim by the ratio of 20 kΩ/RREF. For example, if the refer-
ence source impedance is 1 Ω, CMR will be reduced to 86 dB
(20 kΩ/1 Ω = 86 dB). An operational amplifier may be used to
provide that low impedance reference point as shown in Figure
39. The input offset voltage characteristics of that amplifier will
add directly to the output offset voltage performance of the
instrumentation amplifier.

The sense terminal is the feedback point for the instrument
amplifier’s output amplifier. Normally it is connected to the
instrument amplifier output. If heavy load currents are to be
drawn through long leads, voltage drops due to current flowing
through lead resistance can cause errors. The sense terminal can
be wired to the instrument amplifier at the load, thus putting
the IxR drops “inside the loop” and virtually eliminating this
error source.

Typically, IC instrumentation amplifiers are rated for a full ±10
volt output swing into 2 kΩ. In some applications, however, the
need exists to drive more current into heavier loads. Figure 38
shows how a high-current booster may be connected “inside the
loop” of an instrumentation amplifier to provide the required
current boost without significantly degrading overall perfor-
mance. Nonlinearities, offset and gain inaccuracies of the buffer
are minimized by the loop gain of the IA output amplifier. Off-
set drift of the buffer is similarly reduced.
Figure 40. Voltage-to-Current Converter
By establishing a reference at the “low” side of a current setting
resistor, an output current may be defined as a function of input
voltage, gain and the value of that resistor. Since only a small
current is demanded at the input of the buffer amplifier A2, the
forced current IL will largely flow through the load. Offset and
drift specifications of A2 must be added to the output offset and
drift specifications of the IA.

Another method for developing the switching scheme is to use a
DAC. The AD7528 dual DAC, which acts essentially as a pair
of switched resistive attenuators having high analog linearity and
symmetrical bipolar transmission, is ideal in this application.
The multiplying DAC’s advantage is that it can handle inputs of
either polarity or zero without affecting the programmed gain.
The circuit shown uses an AD7528 to set the gain (DAC A) and
to perform a fine adjustment (DAC B).

ERROR BUDGET ANALYSIS
In many applications, differential linearity and resolution are of
prime importance. This would be so in cases where the absolute
value of a variable is less important than changes in value. In
these applications, only the irreducible errors (45 ppm = 0.004%)
are significant. Furthermore, if a system has an intelligent pro-
cessor monitoring the A-to-D output, the addition of a auto-
gain/autozero cycle will remove all reducible errors and may
eliminate the requirement for initial calibration. This will also
reduce errors to 0.004%.
To illustrate how instrumentation amplifier specifications are
applied, we will now examine a typical case where an AD524 is
required to amplify the output of an unbalanced transducer.
Figure 46 shows a differential transducer, unbalanced by 100 Ω,
supplying a 0 to 20 mV signal to an AD524C. The output of the
IA feeds a 14-bit A-to-D converter with a 0 to 2 volt input volt-
age range. The operating temperature range is –25°C to +85°C.
Therefore, the largest change in temperature ∆T within the
operating range is from ambient to +85°C (85°C – 25°C = 60°C).

Figure 47 shows a simple application, in which the variation of
the cold-junction voltage of a Type J thermocouple-iron(+)–
constantan–is compensated for by a voltage developed in series
by the temperature-sensitive output current of an AD590 semi-
conductor temperature sensor.
and the circuit near 25°C. If resistors with low tempcos are
used, compensation accuracy will be to within ±0.5°C, for
temperatures between +15°C and +35°C. Other thermocouple
types may be accommodated with the standard resistance values
shown in the table. For other ranges of ambient temperature,
the equation in the figure may be solved for the optimum values
of RT and RA.

The microprocessor controlled data acquisition system shown in
Figure 48 includes both autozero and autogain capability. By
dedicating two of the differential inputs, one to ground and one
to the A/D reference, the proper program calibration cycles can
eliminate both initial accuracy errors and accuracy errors over
temperature. The autozero cycle, in this application, converts a
number that appears to be ground and then writes that same
number (8-bit) to the AD7524, which eliminates the zero error
since its output has an inverted scale. The autogain cycle con-
verts the A/D reference and compares it with full scale. A multi-
plicative correction factor is then computed and applied to
subsequent readings.
