GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8221-EP is a gain programmable, high performance
instrumentation amplifier that delivers the industrys highest
CMRR over frequency in its class. The CMRR of instrumentation
amplifiers on the market today falls off at 200 Hz. In contrast, the
AD8221-EP maintains a minimum CMRR of 80 dB to 10 kHz at
G = 1. High CMRR over frequency allows the AD8221-EP to
reject wideband interference and line harmonics, greatly
simplifying filter requirements.
Possible applications include precision data acquisition, biomedical
analysis, and aerospace instrumentation.
Low voltage offset, low offset drift, low gain drift, high gain
accuracy, and high CMRR make this device an excellent choice
in applications that demand the best dc performance possible, such
as bridge signal conditioning.
Programmable gain affords the user design flexibility. A single
resistor sets the gain from 1 to 1000. The AD8221-EP operates
on both single and dual supplies and is well suited for applications
where ±10 V input voltages are encountered.
The AD8221-EP is specified over the −55°C to +125°C military
temperature range. It is available in an 8-lead MSOP package.
Additional application and technical information can be found
in the AD8221 data sheet.
