Noise Density vs. Source Resistance GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8421-EP is a low cost, low power, extremely low noise, ultralow bias current, high speed instrumentation amplifier that is ideally suited for a broad spectrum of signal conditioning and data acquisition applications. This product features extremely high CMRR, allowing it to extract low level signals in the presence of high frequency common-mode noise over a wide temperature range. The 10 MHz bandwidth, 35 V/μs slew rate, and 0.6 μs settling time to 0.001% (G = 10) allow the AD8421-EP to amplify high speed signals and excel in applications that require high channel count, multiplexed systems. Even at higher gains, the current feedback architecture maintains high performance; for example, at G = 100, the bandwidth is 2 MHz and the settling time is 0.8 μs. The AD8421-EP has excellent distortion performance, making it suitable for use in demanding applications such as vibration analysis. The AD8421-EP delivers 3 nV/√Hz input voltage noise and 200 fA/√Hz current noise with only 2 mA quiescent current, making it an ideal choice for measuring low level signals. For applications with high source impedance, the AD8421-EP employs innovative process technology and design techniques to provide noise performance that is limited only by the sensor. The AD8421-EP uses unique protection methods to ensure robust inputs while still maintaining very low noise. This protection allows input voltages up to 40 V from the opposite supply rail without damage to the part. A single resistor sets the gain from 1 to 10,000. The reference pin can be used to apply a precise offset to the output voltage. The AD8421-EP is specified over the military temperature range of −55°C to +125°C. It is available in an 8-lead MSOP package. Additional application and technical information can be found in the AD8421 data sheet.

1 For voltages beyond these limits, use input protection resistors. See the

AD8421 data sheet for more information. 2 There are ESD protection diodes from the reference input to each supply, so

REF cannot be driven beyond the supplies in the same way that +IN and −IN can. See the AD8421 data sheet for more information.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

THERMAL RESISTANCE θJA is specified for a device in free air using a 4-layer JEDEC printed circuit board (PCB).
