PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
The AD625 is a precision instrumentation amplifier specifically
designed to fulfill two major areas of application: 1) Circuits re-
quiring nonstandard gains (i.e., gains not easily achievable with
devices such as the AD524 and AD624). 2) Circuits requiring a
low cost, precision software programmable gain amplifier.
1. The AD625 affords up to 16-bit precision for user selected
fixed gains from 1 to 10,000. Any gain in this range can be
programmed by 3 external resistors.
2. A 12-bit software programmable gain amplifier can be config-
ured using the AD625, a CMOS multiplexer and a resistor
network. Unlike previous instrumentation amplifier designs,
the ON resistance of a CMOS switch does not affect the gain
accuracy.
For low noise, high CMRR, and low drift the AD625JN is the
most cost effective instrumentation amplifier solution available.
An additional three resistors allow the user to set any gain from
1 to 10,000. The error contribution of the AD625JN is less than
0.05% gain error and under 5 ppm/°C gain TC; performance
limitations are primarily determined by the external resistors.
Common-mode rejection is independent of the feedback resistor
matching.
3. The gain accuracy and gain temperature coefficient of the
amplifier circuit are primarily dependent on the user selected
external resistors.
4. The AD625 provides totally independent input and output
offset nulling terminals for high precision applications. This
minimizes the effects of offset voltage in gain-ranging
applications.
A software programmable gain amplifier (SPGA) can be config-
ured with the addition of a CMOS multiplexer (or other switch
network), and a suitable resistor network. Because the ON
resistance of the switches is removed from the signal path, an
AD625 based SPGA will deliver 12-bit precision, and can be
programmed for any set of gains between 1 and 10,000, with
completely user selected gain steps.
5. The proprietary design of the AD625 provides input voltage
noise of 4 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz.
6. External resistor matching is not required to maintain high
common-mode rejection.
For the highest precision the AD625C offers an input offset
voltage drift of less than 0.25 µV/°C, output offset drift below
15 µV/°C, and a maximum nonlinearity of 0.001% at G = 1. All
grades exhibit excellent ac performance; a 25 MHz gain band-
width product, 5 V/µs slew rate and 15 µs settling time.
The AD625 is available in three accuracy grades (A, B, C) for
industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature range, two grades (J,
K) for commercial (0°C to +70°C) temperature range, and one
(S) grade rated over the extended (–55°C to +125°C) tempera-
ture range.

NOTES
1Gain Error and Gain TC are for the AD625 only. Resistor Network errors will add to the specified errors.
2VDL is the maximum differential input voltage at G = 1 for specified nonlinearity. VDL at other gains = 10 V/G. VD = actual differential input voltage.
Example: G = 10, VD = 0.50; VCM = 12 V – (10/2 × 0.50 V) = 9.5 V.
Specifications subject to change without notice.
All min and max specifications are guaranteed. Specifications shown in boldface are tested on all production units at final electrical test. Results from those tests are

THEORY OF OPERATION
The diodes to the supplies are only necessary if input voltages
outside of the range of the supplies are encountered. In higher
gain applications where differential voltages are small, back-to-
back Zener diodes and smaller resistors, as shown in Figure
26b, provides adequate protection. Figure 26c shows low cost
FETs with a maximum ON resistance of 300 Ω configured to offer
input protection with minimal degradation to noise, (5.2 nV/√Hz
compared to normal noise performance of 4 nV/√Hz).
The AD625 is a monolithic instrumentation amplifier based on
a modification of the classic three-op-amp approach. Monolithic
construction and laser-wafer-trimming allow the tight matching
and tracking of circuit components. This insures the high level
of performance inherent in this circuit architecture.
A preamp section (Q1–Q4) provides additional gain to A1 and
A2. Feedback from the outputs of A1 and A2 forces the collec-
tor currents of Q1–Q4 to be constant, thereby, impressing the
input voltage across RG. This creates a differential voltage at the
outputs of A1 and A2 which is given by the gain (2RF/RG + 1)
times the differential portion of the input voltage. The unity
gain subtracter, A3, removes any common-mode signal from the
output voltage yielding a single ended output, VOUT, referred to
the potential at the reference pin.
During differential overload conditions, excess current will flow
through the gain sense lines (Pins 2 and 15). This will have no
effect in fixed gain applications. However, if the AD625 is being
used in an SPGA application with a CMOS multiplexer, this
current should be taken into consideration. The current capa-
bilities of the multiplexer may be the limiting factor in allowable
overflow current. The ON resistance of the switch should be
included as part of RG when calculating the necessary input
protection resistance.
The value of RG is the determining factor of the transconduc-
tance of the input preamp stage. As RG is reduced for larger
gains the transconductance increases. This has three important
advantages. First, this approach allows the circuit to achieve a
very high open-loop gain of (3 × 108 at programmed gains ≥ 500)
thus reducing gain related errors. Second, the gain-bandwidth
product, which is determined by C3, C4, and the input trans-
conductance, increases with gain, thereby, optimizing frequency
response. Third, the input voltage noise is reduced to a value
determined by the collector current of the input transistors
(4 nV/√Hz).

INPUT PROTECTION
Differential input amplifiers frequently encounter input voltages
outside of their linear range of operation. There are two consid-
erations when applying input protection for the AD625; 1) that
continuous input current must be limited to less than 10 mA
and 2) that input voltages must not exceed either supply by
more than one diode drop (approximately 0.6 V @ 25°C).

voltage the AD625 can withstand, continuously, is approximately
2.5 V. Figure 26a shows the external components necessary to
protect the AD625 under all overload conditions at any gain.

In the resistor-programmed mode (Figure 27), only three exter-

Depending on the application, discrete components or a
pretrimmed network can be used. The gain accuracy and gain
TC are primarily determined by the external resistors since the
AD625C contributes less than 0.02% to gain error and under
5 ppm/°C gain TC. The gain sense current is insensitive to
common-mode voltage, making the CMRR of the resistor pro-
grammed AD625 independent of the match of the two feedback
resistors, RF.

As previously stated each RF provides feedback to the input
stage and sets the unity gain transconductance. These feedback
resistors are provided by the user. The AD625 is tested and
specified with a value of 20 kΩ for RF. Since the magnitude of
RTO errors increases with increasing feedback resistance, values
much above 20 kΩ are not recommended (values below 10 kΩ
for RF may lead to instability). Refer to the graph of RTO noise,
offset, drift, and bandwidth (Figure 28) when selecting the
feedback resistors. The gain resistor (RG) is determined by the
formula RG = 2 RF/(G – l).

SENSE TERMINAL
The sense terminal is the feedback point for the AD625 output
amplifier. Normally it is connected directly to the output. If
heavy load currents are to be drawn through long leads, voltage
drops through lead resistance can cause errors. In these in-
stances the sense terminal can be wired to the load thus putting

the I × R 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 29
shows how a high-current booster may be connected “inside the
loop” of an instrumentation amplifier. By using an external
power boosting circuit, the power dissipated by the AD625 will
remain low, thereby, minimizing the errors induced by self-
heating. The effects of nonlinearities, offset and gain inaccura-
cies of the buffer are reduced by the loop gain of the AD625’s
output amplifier.

REFERENCE TERMINAL
An instrumentation amplifier can be turned into a voltage-to-
current converter by taking advantage of the sense and reference
terminals as shown in Figure 31.
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. However, it must be
remembered that the total output swing is 10 volts, from
ground, to be shared between signal and reference offset.

The AD625 reference terminal must be presented with nearly
zero impedance. Any significant resistance, including those
caused by PC layouts or other connection techniques, will in-
crease the gain of the noninverting signal path, thereby, upset-
ting the common-mode rejection of the in-amp. Inadvertent
thermocouple connections created in the sense and reference
lines should also be avoided as they will directly affect the out-
put offset voltage and output offset voltage drift.

Figure 31. Voltage-to-Current Converter
In the AD625 a reference source resistance will unbalance the
CMR trim by the ratio of 10 kΩ/RREF. For example, if the refer-
ence source impedance is 1 Ω, CMR will be reduced to 80 dB
(10 kΩ/1 Ω = 80 dB). An operational amplifier may be used to
provide the low impedance reference point as shown in Figure
30. The input offset voltage characteristics of that amplifier will
add directly to the output offset voltage performance of the
instrumentation amplifier.
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 A1, 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 In-Amp.
The circuit of Figure 30 also shows a CMOS DAC operating in
the bipolar mode and connected to the reference terminal to
provide software controllable offset adjustments. The total offset
range is equal to (VREF/2 × R5/R4), however, to be symmetri-
cal about 0 V R3 = 2 × R4.
The offset per bit is equal to the total offset range divided by 2N,
where N = number of bits of the DAC. The range of offset for
Figure 30 is 120 mV, and the offset is incremented in steps of
0.9375 mV/LSB.
INPUT AND OUTPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE
Offset voltage 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 this requires extra
circuitry.

Offset voltage and offset voltage drift each have two compo-
nents: input and output. Input offset is that component of offset
that is generated at the input stage. Measured at the output it is
directly proportional to gain, i.e., input offset as measured at the
output at G = 100 is 100 times greater than that measured at
G = 1. Output offset is generated at the output and is constant
for all gains.

The input offset and drift are multiplied by the gain, while the
output terms are independent of gain, therefore, input errors
dominate at high gains and output errors dominate at low gains.
The output offset voltage (and drift) is normally specified at
G = 1 (where input effects are insignificant), while input offset
(and drift) is given at a high gain (where output effects are negli-
gible). All input-related parameters are specified referred to the
input (RTI) which is to say that the effect on the output is “G”
times larger. Offset voltage vs. power supply is also specified as
an RTI error.

By separating these errors, one can evaluate the total error inde-
pendent of the gain. For a given gain, both errors can be com-
bined to give a total error referred to the input (RTI) or output

The AD625 provides for both input and output offset voltage
adjustment. This simplifies nulling in very high precision appli-
cations and minimizes offset voltage effects 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. If only a single null is desired, the input offset
null should be used. The most additional drift when using only
the input offset null is 0.9 µV/°C, RTO.

GROUNDING
In order to isolate low level analog signals from a noisy digital
environment, many data-acquisition components have two or
more ground pins. These grounds must eventually be tied to-
gether at one point. It would be convenient to use a single
ground line, however, current through ground wires and pc runs
of the circuit card can cause hundreds of millivolts of error.
Therefore, separate ground returns should be provided to mini-
mize the current flow from the sensitive points to the system
ground (see Figure 34). Since the AD625 output voltage is
developed with respect to the potential on the reference termi-
nal, it can solve many grounding problems.
COMMON-MODE REJECTION
Common-mode rejection is a measure of the change in output
voltage when both inputs are changed by equal amounts. These
specifications are usually given for a full-range input voltage
change and a specified source imbalance.
In an instrumentation amplifier, degradation of common-mode
rejection is caused by a differential phase shift due to differences

care must be taken to insure that all connections (especially
those in the input circuit of the AD625) remain isothermal. This
includes the input leads (1, 16) and the gain sense lines (2, 15).
These pins were chosen for symmetry, helping to desensitize the
input circuit to thermal gradients. In addition, the user should
also avoid air currents over the circuitry since slowly fluctuating
Input bias currents are those currents necessary to bias the input
transistors of a dc amplifier. There must be a direct return path
for these currents, otherwise they will charge external capaci-
tances, causing the output to drift uncontrollably or saturate.
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 Figure 35.

The base emitter junction of an input transistor can rectify out
of band signals (i.e., RF interference). When amplifying small
signals, these rectified voltages act as small dc offset errors. The
AD625 allows direct access to the input transistors’ bases and
emitters enabling the user to apply some first order filtering to
these unwanted signals. In Figure 37, the RC time constant
should be chosen for desired attenuation of the interfering signals.

SOFTWARE PROGRAMMABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER
An SPGA provides the ability to externally program precision
gains from digital inputs. Historically, the problem in systems
requiring electronic switching of gains has been the ON resis-
tance (RON) of the multiplexer, which appears in series with the
gain setting resistor RG. This can result in substantial gain errors
and gain drifts. The AD625 eliminates this problem by making
the gain drive and gain sense pins available (Pins 2, 15, 5, 12;
see Figure 39). Consequently the multiplexer’s ON resistance is
removed from the signal current path. This transforms the ON
resistance error into a small nullable offset error. To clarify this
point, an error budget analysis has been performed in Table II
based on the SPGA configuration shown in Figure 39.

5) If different resistor values are desired, all the resistors in the
network can be scaled by some convenient factor. However,
raising the impedance will increase the RTO errors, lowering
the total network resistance below 20 kΩ can result in ampli-
fier instability. More information on this phenomenon is
given in the RPGA section of the data sheet. The scale factor
will not affect the unity gain feedback resistors. The resistor
network in Figure 38 has a scaling factor of 650/625 = 1.04,
if this factor is used on RF1, RF2, RF3, and RG, then the resis-
tor values will match exactly.
DETERMINING SPGA RESISTOR NETWORK VALUES
The individual resistors in the gain network can be calculated
sequentially using the formula given below. The equation deter-
mines the resistors as labeled in Figure 41. The feedback resis-
tors and the gain setting resistors are interactive, therefore; the
formula must be a series where the present term is dependent on
the preceding term(s). The formula

carry as many significant digits as possible until all the values
have been calculated.

can be used to calculate the necessary feedback resistors for any
set of gains. This formula yields a network with a total resistance
of 40 kΩ. A dummy variable (j) serves as a counter to keep a
running total of the preceding feedback resistors. To illustrate
how the formula can be applied, an example similar to the
calculation used for the resistor network in Figure 38 is exam-
ined below.

1) Unity gain is treated as a separate case. It is implemented
with separate 20 kΩ feedback resistors as shown in Figure 41.
It is then ignored in further calculations.

2) Before making any calculations it is advised to draw a resistor
network similar to the network in Figure 41. The network
will have (2 × M) + 1 resistors, where M = number of gains.
For Figure 38 M = 3 (4, 16, 64), therefore, the resistor string
will have seven resistors (plus the two 20 kΩ “side” resistors
for unity gain).
