GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8224 is the first single-supply junction field effect
transistor (JFET) input instrumentation amplifier available in
the space-saving 16-lead, 4 mm×4 mm LFCSP. It requires the
same board area as a typical single instrumentation amplifier,
yet doubles the channel density and offers a lower cost per
channel without compromising performance.
Designed to alleviate this problem, the AD8224 can operate on a
18 V dual supply, as well as on a single +5 V supply. The device’s
rail-to-rail output stage maximizes dynamic range on the low
voltage supplies common in portable applications. Its ability to run
on a single 5 V supply eliminates the need for higher voltage, dual
supplies. The AD8224 draws a maximum of 750 μA of quiescent
current per amplifier, making it ideal for battery-powered devices.
Designed to meet the needs of high performance, portable
instrumentation, the AD8224 has a minimum common-mode
rejection ratio (CMRR) of 86 dB at dc and a minimum CMRR
of 80 dB at 5 kHz for G = 1. Maximum input bias current is
10 pA and typically remains below 300 pA over the entire
industrial temperature range. Despite the JFET inputs, the
AD8224 typically has a noise corner of only 10 Hz.
In addition, the AD8224 can be configured as a single-channel,
differential output instrumentation amplifier. Differential
outputs provide high noise immunity, which can be useful when
the output signal must travel through a noisy environment, such
as with remote sensors. The configuration can also be used to
drive differential input ADCs.
With the proliferation of mixed-signal processing, the number of
power supplies required in each system has grown.
For a single-channel version, use the AD8220 device.
