SINGLE-SUPPLY PROGRAMMABLE GAIN
INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
The AD822 can be configured as a single-supply instrumenta-
tion amplifier that is able to operate from single supplies down
to 3 V or dual supplies up to ±15 V. Using only one AD822 rather
than three separate op amps, this circuit is cost and power efficient.
The 2 pA bias currents of the AD822 FET inputs minimize
offset errors caused by high unbalanced source impedances.
An array of precision thin film resistors sets the in-amp gain to
be either 10 or 100. These resistors are laser trimmed to ratio
match to 0.01% and have a maximum differential TC of 5 ppm/°C.

Figure 49. A Single-Supply Programmable Instrumentation Amplifier
LOW DROPOUT BIPOLAR BRIDGE DRIVER
The AD822 can be used for driving a 350 Ω Wheatstone bridge.
Figure 50 shows one-half of the AD822 being used to buffer the
AD589, a 1.235 V low power reference. The output of 4.5 V can
be used to drive an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) front end.
The other half of the AD822 is configured as a unity-gain inverter
and generates the other bridge input of −4.5 V. Resistor R1 and
Resistor R2 provide a constant current for bridge excitation. The
AD620 low power instrumentation amplifier is used to condition
the differential output voltage of the bridge. The gain of the AD620
is programmed using an external resistor R
