GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
AD8479
is a difference amplifier with a very high input
common-mode voltage range. The
AD8479
is a precision device
that allows the user to accurately measure differential signals in
the presence of high common-mode voltages up to ±600 V.
The
AD8479
can replace costly isolation amplifiers in applications
that do not require galvanic isolation. The device operates over
a ±600 V common-mode voltage range and has inputs that are
protected from common-mode or differential mode transients
up to ±600 V.
The
AD8479
has low offset voltage, low offset voltage drift,
low gain drift, low common-mode rejection drift, and excellent
common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) over a wide frequency
range.
The
AD8479
is available in a space-saving 8-lead SOIC package
and is operational over the −40°C to +125°C temperature range.
