The reference must be driven with a low impedance source to

maintain the internal resistor ratio. An example using the low

power, low noise OP1177 as a reference is shown in Figure 58.

DIFFERENTIAL OUTPUT

The two difference amplifiers of the AD8279 can be configured

to provide a differential output, as shown in Figure 59. This

differential output configuration is suitable for various applications,

such as strain gage excitation and single-ended-to-differential

conversion. The differential output voltage has a gain twice that

of a single AD8279 channel, as shown in the following equation:

VDIFF_OUT

= V+OUT − V−OUT = 2 × GAD8279 × (VIN+ – VIN−)

If the AD8279 amplifiers are each configured for G = ½, the

differential gain is 1×; if the AD8279 amplifiers are each

configured for G = 2, the differential gain is 4×.

INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER

The AD8278 and AD8279 can be used as building blocks for a

low power, low cost instrumentation amplifier. An instrumentation

amplifier provides high impedance inputs and delivers high

common-mode rejection. Combining the AD8278 with an Analog

Devices, Inc., low power amplifier (see Table 11) creates a precise,

power efficient voltage measurement solution suitable for power

critical systems.

It is preferable to use dual op amps for the high impedance inputs

because they have better matched performance and track each

other over temperature. The AD8278 and AD8279 difference

amplifiers cancel out common-mode errors from the input op

amps, if they track each other. The differential gain accuracy of

the in-amp is proportional to how well the input feedback

resistors (RF) match each other. The CMRR of the in-amp

increases as the differential gain is increased (1 + 2RF/RG), but a

higher gain also reduces the common-mode voltage range.
