GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8479-EP is a difference amplifier with a very high input
common-mode voltage (VCM) range. The AD8479-EP is a
precision device that allows the user to accurately measure
differential signals in the presence of high VCM up to 600 V dc.
Additional application and technical information can be found
in the AD8479 data sheet.

The AD8479-EP can replace costly isolation amplifiers in
applications that do not require galvanic isolation. The device
operates over a 600 V dc VCM range and has inputs that are
protected from common-mode or differential mode transients
up to 600 V.
