The AD8422 is a high precision, low power, low noise, rail-to-rail instrumentation amplifier that delivers the best performance per unit microampere in the industry. The AD8422 processes signals with ultralow distortion performance that is load independent over its full output range.The AD8422 is the third generation development of the industry standard AD620. The AD8422 employs new process technologies and design techniques to achieve higher dynamic range and lower errors than its predecessors, while consuming less than one-third of the power. The AD8422 uses the high performance pinout introduced by the AD8221.Very low bias current makes the AD8422 error-free with high source impedance, allowing multiple sensors to be multiplexed to the inputs. Low voltage noise and low current noise make the AD8422 an ideal choice for measuring a Wheatstone bridge.The wide input range and rail-to-rail output of the AD8422 bring all of the benefits of a high performance in-amp to single-supply applications. Whether using high or low supply voltages, the power savings make the AD8422 an excellent choice for high channel count or power sensitive applications.The AD8422 uses robust input protection that ensures reliability without sacrificing noise performance. The AD8422 has high ESD immunity, and the inputs are protected from continuous voltages up to 40 V from the opposite supply rail.A single resistor sets the gain from 1 to 1000. The reference pin can be used to apply a precise offset to the output voltage.The AD8422 is specified from −40°C to +85°C for the 8-lead MSOP and the 8-lead SOIC_N and from −40°C to +125°C for the 8-lead LFCSP.APPLICATIONS Medical instrumentation Industrial process controls Strain gages Transducer interfaces Precision data acquisition systems Channel-isolated systems Portable instrumentation

The AD8426 is a dual-channel, low cost, wide supply range instrumentation amplifier that requires only one external resistor to set any gain from 1 to 1000.The AD8426 is designed to work with a variety of signal voltages. A wide input range and rail-to-rail output allow the signal to make full use of the supply rails. Because the input range can also go below the negative supply, small signals near ground can be amplified without requiring dual supplies. The AD8426 operates on supplies ranging from ±1.35 V to ±18 V for dual supplies and 2.2 V to 36 V for a single supply.The robust AD8426 inputs are designed to connect to real-world sensors. In addition to its wide operating range, the AD8426 can handle voltages beyond the rails. For example, with a ±5 V supply, the part is guaranteed to withstand ±35 V at the input with no damage. Minimum and maximum input bias currents are specified to facilitate open-wire detection.The AD8426 is designed to make PCB routing easy and efficient. The two amplifiers are arranged in a logical way so that typical application circuits have short routes and few vias. Unlike most chip scale packages, the AD8426 does not have an exposed metal pad on the bottom of the part, which frees additional space for routing and vias. The AD8426 offers two in-amps in the equivalent board space of a typical MSOP package.The AD8426 is ideal for multichannel, space-constrained industrial applications. Unlike other low cost, low power instrumentation amplifiers, the AD8426 is designed with a minimum gain of 1 and can easily handle ±10 V signals. With its space-saving LFCSP package and 125°C temperature rating, the AD8426 thrives in tightly packed, zero airflow designs.The AD8226 is the single channel version of the AD8426.APPLICATIONSIndustrial process controlsBridge amplifiersMedical instrumentationPortable data acquisitionMultichannel systems

It delivers ultralow input noise performance of 1 nV/√Hz. The high CMRR of the AD8429 prevents unwanted signals from corrupting the acqui-sition. The CMRR increases as the gain increases, offering high rejection when it is most needed. The high performance pin configuration of the AD8429 allows it to reliably maintain high CMRR at frequencies well beyond those of typical instrumentation amplifiers.The AD8429 reliably amplifies fast changing signals. Its current feedback architecture provides high bandwidth at high gain, for example, 1.2 MHz at G = 100. The design includes circuitry to im-prove settling time after large input voltage transients. The AD8429 was designed for excellent distortion performance, allowing use in demanding applications such as vibration analysis.Gain is set from 1 to 10,000 with a single resistor. A reference pin allows the user to offset the output voltage. This feature can be useful to shift the output level when interfacing to a single supply signal chain.The AD8429 performance is specified over the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. It is available in an 8-lead plastic SOIC package.APPLICATIONSMedical instrumentationPrecision data acquisitionMicrophone preamplificationVibration analysis
