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.
