16-V,
ZERO-DRIFT INSTRUMENTATION AMP
The
AD8230 is the industry’s first 16-V, zero-drift
precision instrumentation amplifier. Designed for optimal
performance in noisy industrial environments, the AD8230
features the industry’s highest common-mode input range,
maintains low drift, and delivers precise measurements
over an extended temperature range.

In
addition to its 16-V common-mode input voltage range,
which is 45% wider than the nearest competitor’s offering,
the AD8230 is the only solution that maintains better
than 50 nV/°C offset drift over the automotive and extended
industrial temperature range of –40° to 125°C. Competitors’
in-amps have significantly higher offset drift (nearly
50 times) above 85°C. The AD8230’s high CMRR of 110
dB (minimum) rejects line noise in measurements where
the sensor is far from the instrumentation or when it
exhibits DC offset change over temperature.
The
AD8230 is versatile yet simple to use. Two matched external
resistors are required to program the gain. This offers
greater stability over single-resistor-programmed instrumentation
amplifiers. The AD8230 operates on ±4-
to ±8-V
dual supplies or 8- to 16-V single supplies with input
and output rail-to-rail capability.
The
AD8230 is available now in an eight-lead SOIC package
and costs $2.95 in 1,000-piece quantities.
