GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8205 is a single-supply difference amplifier for amplify-
ing small differential voltages in the presence of large common-
mode voltages. The operating input common-mode voltage
range extends from −2 V to +65 V. The typical single-supply
voltage is 5 V.
Excellent dc performance over temperature keeps errors in the
measurement loop to a minimum. Offset drift is typically less
than 15 µV/°C, and gain drift is typically below 30 ppm/°C.
The output offset can be adjusted from 0.05 V to 4.8 V with a
5 V supply by using the VREF1 and VREF2 pins. With VREF1 at-
tached to the V+ pin, and VREF2 attached to the GND pin, the
output is set at half scale. Attaching both pins to GND causes
the output to be unipolar, starting near ground. Attaching both
pins to V+ causes the output to be unipolar starting near V+.
Other offsets can be obtained by applying an external voltage to
the VREF1 and VREF2 pins.
The AD8205 is offered in die and packaged form. The operating
temperature range for the die is 25°C higher (up to 150°C) than
the packaged part to enable the user to apply the AD8205 in
high temperature applications.
