GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8429 is an ultralow noise, instrumentation amplifier
designed for measuring extremely small signals over a wide
temperature range (−40°C to +125°C).
be useful to shift the output level when interfacing to a single
supply signal chain.
The AD8429 performance is specified over the extended industrial
The AD8429 excels at measuring tiny signals. 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.
temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. It is available in an 8-lead
plastic SOIC package.

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.

ARCHITECTURE
Table 5. Gains Achieved Using 1% Resistors
The AD8429 is based on the classic 3-op-amp topology. This
topology has two stages: a preamplifier to provide differential
amplification followed by a difference amplifier that removes
the common-mode voltage and provides additional amplifica-
tion. Figure 46 shows a simplified schematic of the AD8429.

The first stage works as follows. To keep its two inputs matched,
Amplifier A1 must keep the collector of Q1 at a constant voltage.
It does this by forcing RG− to be a precise diode drop from –IN.
Similarly, A2 forces RG+ to be a constant diode drop from +IN.
Therefore, a replica of the differential input voltage is placed
across the gain setting resistor, RG. The current that flows through
this resistance must also flow through the R1 and R2 resistors,
creating a gained differential signal between the A2 and A1
outputs.
The AD8429 defaults to G = 1 when no gain resistor is used.
Add the tolerance and gain drift of the RG resistor to the
specifications of the AD8429 to determine the total gain accu-
racy of the system. When the gain resistor is not used, gain
error and gain drift are minimal.
The second stage is a G = 1 difference amplifier, composed of
Amplifier A3 and the R3 through R6 resistors. This stage removes
the common-mode signal from the amplified differential signal.
RG Power Dissipation
The transfer function of the AD8429 is
The AD8429 duplicates the differential voltage across its inputs
onto the RG resistor. Choose an RG resistor size sufficient to
handle the expected power dissipation.

The output voltage of the AD8429 is developed with respect to
the potential on the reference terminal. This is useful when the
output signal must be offset to a precise midsupply level. For
example, a voltage source can be tied to the REF pin to level
shift the output, allowing the AD8429 to drive a single-supply
ADC. The REF pin is protected with ESD diodes and should
not exceed either +VS or −VS by more than 0.3 V.
GAIN SELECTION
Placing a resistor across the RG terminals sets the gain of the
AD8429, which can be calculated by referring to Table 5 or by
using the following gain equation:

For best performance, maintain a source impedance to the REF
terminal that is well below 1 ꢀ. As shown in Figure 46, the
reference terminal, REF, is at one end of a 5 kΩ resistor.
Additional impedance at the REF terminal adds to this 5 kΩ
resistor and results in amplification of the signal connected to
the positive input. The amplification from the additional RREF
can be calculated as follows:
source resistance in the input path (for example, for input
protection) close to the in-amp inputs, which minimizes their
interaction with parasitic capacitance from the PCB traces.
Parasitic capacitance at the gain setting pins can also affect CMRR
over frequency. If the board design has a component at the gain
setting pins (for example, a switch or jumper), choose a component
such that the parasitic capacitance is as small as possible.
2(5 kΩ + RREF)/(10 kΩ + RREF
)
Power Supplies and Grounding
Only the positive signal path is amplified; the negative path
is unaffected. This uneven amplification degrades CMRR.
Use a stable dc voltage to power the instrumentation amplifier.
Noise on the supply pins can adversely affect performance. See
the PSRR performance curves in Figure 9 and Figure 10 for more
information.
INCORRECT
CORRECT
Place a 0.1 μF capacitor as close as possible to each supply pin.
Because the length of the bypass capacitor leads is critical at
high frequency, surface-mount capacitors are recommended. A
parasitic inductance in the bypass ground trace works against
the low impedance created by the bypass capacitor. As shown in
Figure 49, a 10 μF capacitor can be used farther away from the
device. For larger value capacitors, intended to be effective at
lower frequencies, the current return path distance is less critical.
In most cases, this capacitor can be shared by other precision
integrated circuits.

Figure 4 and Figure 5 show the allowable common-mode input
voltage ranges for various output voltages and supply voltages.
The 3-op-amp architecture of the AD8429 applies gain in the
first stage before removing common-mode voltage with the
difference amplifier stage. Internal nodes between the first and
second stages (Node 1 and Node 2 in Figure 46) experience a
combination of a gained signal, a common-mode signal, and a
diode drop. This combined signal can be limited by the voltage
supplies even when the individual input and output signals are
not limited.

To ensure optimum performance of the AD8429 at the PCB
level, care must be taken in the design of the board layout. The
pins of the AD8429 are arranged in a logical manner to aid in
this task.
Figure 49. Supply Decoupling, REF, and Output Referred to Local Ground
A ground plane layer is helpful to reduce parasitic inductances.
This minimizes voltage drops with changes in current. The area
of the current path is directly proportional to the magnitude of
parasitic inductances and, therefore, the impedance of the path
at high frequency. Large changes in currents in an inductive
decoupling path or ground return create unwanted effects, due
to the coupling of such changes into the amplifier inputs.

Because load currents flow from the supplies, the load should

Common-Mode Rejection Ratio over Frequency

Poor layout can cause some of the common-mode signals to be
converted to differential signals before reaching the in-amp.
Such conversions occur when one input path has a frequency
response that is different from the other. To maintain high
CMRR over frequency, closely match the input source
impedance and capacitance of each path. Place additional

Noise sensitive applications may require a lower protection resis-
tance. Low leakage diode clamps, such as the BAV199, can be used
at the inputs to shunt current away from the AD8429 inputs,
thereby allowing smaller protection resistor values. To ensure
current flows primarily through the external protection diodes,
place a small value resistor, such as a 33 Ω, between the diodes and
the AD8429.
INPUT BIAS CURRENT RETURN PATH
The input bias current of the AD8429 must have a return path to
ground. When using a floating source without a current return
path, such as a thermocouple, create a current return path, as
shown in Figure 50.

RF rectification is often a problem when amplifiers are used in
applications that have strong RF signals. The disturbance can
appear as a small dc offset voltage. High frequency signals can
be filtered with a low-pass RC network placed at the input of
the instrumentation amplifier, as shown in Figure 53.

Any sensor connected to the AD8429 has some output resistance.
There may also be resistance placed in series with inputs for pro-

This combined resistance is labeled R1 and R2 in Figure 54. Any
resistor, no matter how well made, has an intrinsic level of noise.
This noise is proportional to the square root of the resistor value.
At room temperature, the value is approximately equal to
4 nV/√Hz × √(resistor value in kΩ).

The voltage noise of the instrumentation amplifier is calculated
using three parameters: the device input noise, output noise,
and the RG resistor noise. It is calculated as follows:
where CD ≥ 10 CC.
CD affects the difference signal, and CC affects the common-mode
signal. Choose values of R and CC that minimize RFI. A mismatch
between R × CC at the positive input and R × CC at the negative
input degrades the CMRR of the AD8429. By using a value of
CD that is one magnitude larger than CC, the effect of the
mismatch is reduced, and performance is improved.

To determine the total noise of the in-amp, referred to input,

noise contribution by the sum of squares method.

The total noise of the amplifier front end depends on much
more than the 1 nV/√Hz specification of this data sheet. There
are three main contributors: the source resistance, the voltage
noise of the instrumentation amplifier, and the current noise of
the instrumentation amplifier.
For example, if the R1 source resistance in Figure 54 is 4 kΩ, the
R2 source resistance is 1 kΩ, and the gain of the in-amps is 100,
the total noise, referred to input, is
8.92 +1.52 + 6.22 = 11.0 nV/√Hz
