The AD8428 is one of the fastest instrumentation amplifiers
available. The circuit architecture is designed for high bandwidth
at high gain. The AD8428 uses a current feedback topology for
the initial preamplifier gain stage of 200, followed by a difference
amplifier stage of 10. This architecture results in a 3.5 MHz
bandwidth at a gain of 2000 for an equivalent gain bandwidth
product of 7 GHz.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8428 is an ultralow noise instrumentation amplifier
designed to accurately measure tiny, high speed signals. It
delivers industry-leading gain accuracy, noise, and bandwidth.
All gain setting resistors for the AD8428 are internal to the part
and are precisely matched. Care is taken in both the chip pinout
and layout. This results in excellent gain drift and quick settling
to the final gain value after the part is powered on.
The AD8428 pinout allows access to internal nodes between the
first and second stages. This feature can be useful for modifying
the frequency response between the two amplification stages,
thereby preventing unwanted signals from contaminating the
output results.
The high CMRR of the AD8428 prevents unwanted signals
from corrupting the signal of interest. The pinout of the AD8428
is designed to avoid parasitic capacitance mismatches that can
degrade CMRR at high frequencies.
The performance of the AD8428 is specified over the industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. It is available in an 8-lead
plastic SOIC package.
