gain drift errors are achieved by the use of internal gain setting
resistors. Fixed gains of 10 and 100 can easily be set via external
pin strapping. The AD621 is fully specified as a total system,
therefore, simplifying the design process.
For portable or remote applications, where power dissipation,
size, and weight are critical, the AD621 features a very low
supply current of 1.3 mA max and is packaged in a compact
8-lead SOIC, 8-lead plastic DIP or 8-lead cerdip. The AD621
also excels in applications requiring high total accuracy, such
as precision data acquisition systems used in weigh scales and
transducer interface circuits. Low maximum error specifications
including nonlinearity of 10 ppm, gain drift of 5 ppm/°C, 50
µV
offset voltage, and 0.6
µV/°C
offset drift (“B” grade), make
possible total system performance at a lower cost than has been
previously achieved with discrete designs or with other mono-
lithic instrumentation amplifiers.
When operating from high source impedances, as in ECG and
blood pressure monitors, the AD621 features the ideal combina-
tion of low noise and low input bias currents. Voltage noise is
specified as 9 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz and 0.28
µV
p-p from 0.1 Hz to
10 Hz. Input current noise is also extremely low at 0.1 pA/√Hz.
The AD621 outperforms FET input devices with an input bias
current specification of 1.5 nA max over the full industrial tem-
perature range.
Vp-p
The AD621 is an easy to use, low cost, low power, high accu-
racy instrumentation amplifier that is ideally suited for a wide
range of applications. Its unique combination of high perfor-
mance, small size and low power, outperforms discrete in amp
implementations. High functionality, low gain errors, and low

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic
charges as high as 4000 volts, which readily accumulate on the
human body and on test equipment, can discharge without
detection. Although the AD621 features proprietary ESD pro-
tection circuitry, permanent damage may still occur on these
devices if they are subjected to high energy electrostatic dis-
charges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid any performance degradation or loss of functionality.
