For portable or remote applications, where power dissipation,
size and weight are critical, the AD621 features a very low sup-
ply current of 1.3 mA max and is packaged in a compact 8-pin
SOIC, 8-pin plastic DIP or 8-pin cerdip. The AD621 also
excels in applications requiring high total accuracy, such as pre-
cision data acquisition systems used in weigh scales and trans-
ducer interface circuits. Low maximum error specifications
including nonlinearity of 10 ppm, gain drift of 5 ppm/°C, 50 µV
offset voltage and 0.6 µV/°C offset drift (“B” grade), make pos-
sible total system performance at a lower cost than has been pre-
viously achieved with discrete designs or with other monolithic
instrumentation amplifiers.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD621 is an easy to use, low cost, low power, high accu-
racy instrumentation amplifier which is ideally suited for a wide
range of applications. Its unique combination of high perfor-
mance, small size and low power, outperforms discrete in amp
implementations. High functionality, low gain errors and low
gain drift errors are achieved by the use of internal gain setting
resistors. Fixed gains of 10 and 100 can be easily set via external
When operating from high source impedances, as in ECG and
blood pressure monitors, the AD621 features the ideal combina-
tion of low noise and low input bias currents. Voltage noise is
specified as 9 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz and 0.28 µV p-p from 0.1 Hz to
10 Hz. Input current noise is also extremely low at 0.1 pA/√Hz.
The AD621 outperforms FET input devices with an input bias
current specification of 1.5 nA max over the full industrial tem-
perature range.

ESD SUSCEPTIBILITY
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic
charges as high as 4000 volts, which readily accumulate on the
human body and on test equipment, can discharge without de-
tection. Although the AD621 features proprietary ESD protec-
tion circuitry, permanent damage may still occur on these
devices if they are subjected to high energy electrostatic dis-
charges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid any performance degradation or loss of functionality.

The value of RG also determines the transconductance of the

boosted for increasing programmed gain, thus reducing gain-re-
lated errors. (b) The gain-bandwidth product (determined by
C1, C2 and the preamp transconductance) increases with pro-
grammed gain, thus optimizing frequency response. (c) The in-

Figure 29. Simplified Schematic of AD621
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD621 is a monolithic instrumentation amplifier based on
a modification of the classic three op amp circuit. Careful layout
of the chip, with particular attention to thermal symmetry builds
in tight matching and tracking of critical components, thus pre-
serving the high level of performance inherent in this circuit, at a
low price.
Make vs. Buy: A Typical Bridge Application Error Budget
The AD621 offers improved performance over discrete three op
amp IA designs, along with smaller size, fewer components and
10 times lower supply current. In the typical application, shown
in Figure 30, a gain of 100 is required to amplify a bridge out-
put of 20 mV full scale over the industrial temperature range
of –40°C to +85°C. The error budget table below shows how
to calculate the effect various error sources have on circuit
accuracy.
On chip gain resistors are pretrimmed for gains of 10 and 100.
The AD621 is preset to a gain of 10. A single external jumper
(between Pins 1 and 8) is all that is needed to select a gain of
100. Special design techniques assure a low gain TC of 5 ppm/°C
max, even at a gain of 100.
Regardless of the system it is being used in, the AD621 provides
greater accuracy, and at low power and price. In simple systems,
absolute accuracy and drift errors are by far the most significant
contributors to error. In more complex systems with an intelli-
gent processor, an auto-gain/auto-zero cycle will remove all ab-
solute accuracy and drift errors leaving only the resolution errors
of gain nonlinearity and noise, thus allowing full 14-bit accuracy.
Figure 29 is a simplified schematic of the AD621. The input
transistors Q1 and Q2 provide a single differential-pair bipolar
input for high precision, yet offer 10× lower Input Bias Current,
thanks to Superβeta processing. Feedback through the Q1-A1-R1
loop and the Q2-A2-R2 loop maintains constant collector cur-
rent of the input devices Q1 and Q2, thereby impressing the
Note that for the discrete circuit, the OP07 specifications for in-
put voltage offset and noise have been multiplied by 2. This is
because a three op amp type in amp has two op amps at its in-
puts, both contributing to the overall input error.

Many monolithic in amps achieve low total input drift and noise
errors only at relatively high gains (~100). In contrast the
AD621’s low output errors allow such performance at a gain of
10, thus allowing larger input signals and therefore greater
dynamic range. The circuit of Figure 32 (±15 V supply, G = 10)
has only 2.5 µV/°C max. VOS drift and 0.55 µ/V p-p typical
0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise, yet will amplify a ±0.5 V differential sig-
nal while suppressing a ±10 V common-mode signal, or it will
amplify a ±1.25 V differential signal while suppressing a 1 V
offset by use of the DAC driving the reference pin of the
AD621. An added benefit, the offsetting DAC connected to the
reference pin allows removal of a dc signal without the associ-
ated time-constant of ac coupling. Note the representations of a
differential and common-mode signal shown in Figure 32 such
that a single-ended (or normal mode) signal of +1 V would be
composed of a +0.5 V common-mode component and a +1 V
differential component.
Although useful in many bridge applications such as weigh-
scales, the AD621 is especially suited for higher resistance pres-
sure sensors powered at lower voltages where small size and low
power become more even significant.
Figure 31 shows a 3 kΩ pressure transducer bridge powered
from +5 V. In such a circuit, the bridge consumes only 1.7 mA.
Adding the AD621 and a buffered voltage divider allows the sig-
nal to be conditioned for only 3.8 mA of total supply current.
Small size and low cost make the AD621 especially attractive for
voltage output pressure transducers. Since it delivers low noise
and drift, it will also serve applications such as diagnostic
noninvasion blood pressure measurement.

Mode and Offset Signals

Figure 32. Suppressing a Large Common-Mode or Offset Voltage in Order to Measure a Small Differential Signal
(VS = ±15 V)
The AD621, as well as many other monolithic instrumentation
amplifiers, is based on the “three op amp” in amp circuit (Fig-
ure 33) amplifier. Since the input amplifiers (A1 and A2) have a
common-mode gain of unity and a differential gain equal to the
set gain of the overall in amp, the voltages V1 and V2 are de-
fined by the equations
The AD621’s input amplifiers can provide output voltage within
2.5 V of the supplies. To avoid saturation of the input amplifier
the input voltage must therefore obey the equations:
VCM + G × VDIFF/2 ≤ (Upper Supply – 2.5 V)
VCM – G × VDIFF/2 ≥ (Lower Supply + 2.5 V)
Figure 34 shows the trade-off between common-mode and
differential-mode input for ±15 V supplies and G = 10.
V1 = VCM + G × VDIFF/2
V2 = VCM – G × VDIFF/2
By cascading with use of the optional AD621, the circuit of Fig-
ure 32 will provide ±1 V of zero suppression at gains of 10 and
100 (at VOUT1 and VOUT2 respectively) with maximum TCs of
±4 ppm/°C and ±8 ppm/°C, respectively. Therefore, depending
on the magnitude of the differential input signal, either VOUT1 or
The common-mode voltage will drive the outputs of amplifiers
A1 and A2 to the differential-signal voltage, multiplied by the
gain, spreads them apart. For a +10 V common-mode +0.1 V
differential input, V1 would be at +10.5 V and V2 at +9.5 V.
VOUT2 may be used as the output.

INPUT OVERLOAD CONSIDERATIONS
Precision V-I Converter
Failure of a transducer, faults on input lines, or power supply
sequencing can subject the inputs of an instrumentation ampli-
fier to voltages well beyond their linear range, or even the supply
voltage, so it is essential that the amplifier handle these over-
loads without being damaged.
The AD621 along with another op amp and two resistors make
a precision current source (Figure 35). The op amp buffers the
reference terminal to maintain good CMR. The output voltage
VX of the AD621 appears across R1 which converts it to a cur-
rent. This current less only the input bias current of the op amp
then flows out to the load.
The AD621 will safely withstand continuous input overloads of
±3.0 volts (±6.0 mA). This is true for gains of 10 and 100, with
power on or off.

The inputs of the AD621 are protected by high current capacity
dielectrically isolated 400 Ω thin-film resistors R3 and R4 (Fig-

and Q2 from reverse breakdown. If reverse breakdown occurred,
there would be a permanent increase in the amplifier’s input
current.

13 nV√Hz—about the same level as would be expected from a
typical unprotected 3 op amp in amp.

Instrumentation amplifiers like the AD621 offer high CMR
which is a measure of the change in output voltage when both
inputs arc changed by equal amounts. These specifications are
usually given for a full-range input voltage change and a speci-
fied source imbalance.
As shown in Figure 37, the device can be programmed for any
gain between 10 and 100 by connecting a single external resistor
between Pins 1 and 8. Note that adding the external resistor will
degrade both the gain accuracy and gain TC. Since the gain
equation of the AD621 yields:
For optimal CMR the reference terminal should be tied to a low
impedance point, and differences in capacitance and resistance
should be kept to a minimum between the two inputs. In many
applications shielded cables are used to minimize noise, and for
best CMR over frequency the shield should he properly driven.
Figures 39 and 40 show active data guards which are configured
to improve ac common-mode rejections by “bootstrapping” the
capacitances of input cable shields, thus minimizing the capaci-
tance mismatch between the inputs.

A High Performance Programmable Gain Amplifier
The excellent performance of the AD621 at a gain of 10 make it
a good choice to team up with the AD526 programmable gain
amplifier (PGA) to yield a differential input PGA with gains of
10, 20, 40, 80, 160. As shown in Figure 38, the low offset of the
AD621 allows total circuit offset to be trimmed using the offset
null of the AD526, with only a negligible increase in total drift
error. The total gain TC will be 9 ppm/°C max, with 2 µV/°C
typical input offset drift. Bandwidth is 600 kHz to gains of 10 to
80, and 350 kHz at G = 160. Settling time is 13 µs to 0.01%

In order to isolate low level analog signals from a noisy digital
environment, many data-acquisition components have separate
analog and digital ground pins (Figure 41). It would be conve-
nient to use a single ground line; however, current through
ground wires and PC runs of the circuit card can cause hun-
dreds of millivolts of error. Therefore, separate ground returns
should be provided to minimize the current flow from the sensi-
tive points to the system ground. These ground returns must be
tied together at some point, usually best at the ADC package as
shown.

Input bias currents are those currents necessary to bias the input
transistors of an amplifier. There must be a direct return path
for these currents; therefore when amplifying “floating” input
sources such as transformers, or ac-coupled sources, there must
be a dc path from each input to ground as shown in Figures 42a
