GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8229 is an ultralow noise instrumentation amplifier
designed for measuring small signals in the presence of large
common-mode voltages and high temperatures.
bandwidth at high gain, for example, 1.2 MHz at G = 100. The
design includes circuitry to improve settling time after large
input voltage transients. The AD8229 was designed for excellent
distortion performance, allowing use in demanding applications
such as vibration analysis.
The AD8229 has been designed for high temperature operation.
The process is dielectrically isolated to avoid leakage currents at
high temperatures. The design architecture was chosen to
compensate for the low VBE voltages at high temperatures.
Gain is set from 1 to 1000 with a single resistor. A reference pin
allows the user to offset the output voltage. This feature can be
useful when interfacing with analog-to-digital converters.
The AD8229 excels at measuring tiny signals. It delivers industry
leading 1 nV/√Hz input noise performance. e high CMRR of
the AD8229 prevents unwanted signals from corrupting the
acquisition. The CMRR increases as the gain increases, offering
high rejection when it is most needed.
For the most demanding applications, the AD8229 is available
in an 8-lead side-brazed ceramic dual in-line package (SBDIP).
For space-constrained applications, the AD8229 is available in
an 8-lead plastic standard small outline package (SOIC).
The AD8229 is one of the fastest instrumentation amplifiers
available. Its current feedback architecture provides high
