GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8230 is a low drift, differential sampling, precision
instrumentation amplifier. Auto-zeroing reduces offset voltage
drift to less than 50 nV/°C. The AD8230 is well-suited for
thermocouple and bridge transducer applications. The
AD8230’s high CMR of 110 dB (minimum) rejects line noise in
measurements where the sensor is far from the instrumentation.
The 16 V rail-to-rail, common-mode input range is useful for
noisy environments where ground potentials vary by several
volts. Low frequency noise is kept to a minimal 3 μV p-p,
making the AD8230 perfect for applications requiring the
utmost dc precision. Moreover, the AD8230 maintains its high
performance over the extended industrial temperature range of
−40°C to +125°C.
Two external resistors are used to program the gain. By using
matched external resistors, the gain stability of the AD8230 is
much higher than instrumentation amplifiers that use a single
resistor to set the gain. In addition to allowing users to program
the gain between 10¹ and 1000, users can adjust the output
offset voltage.

The AD8230 is versatile yet simple to use. Its auto-zeroing
topology significantly minimizes the input and output
transients typical of commutating or chopper instrumentation
amplifiers. The AD8230 operates on ±4 V to ±8 V (+8 V to +16 V)
supplies and is available in an 8-lead SOIC.

input voltage is limited to approximately 750 mV.
