PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AD626 is a low cost, true single-supply differential amplifier

designed for amplifying and low-pass filtering small differential

voltages from sources having a large common-mode voltage.

The AD626 can operate from either a single supply of +2.4 V to

+10 V, or dual supplies of ±1.2 V to ±6 V.The input common-mode

+24 V CMR while operating from a +5 V supply. Furthermore,

the AD626 features a CMR of 90 dB typ.

The amplifier’s inputs are protected against continuous overload of

up to 50 V, and RFI filters are included in the attenuator network.

The output range is +0.03 V to +4.9 V using a +5 V supply. The

amplifier provides a preset gain of 10, but gains between 10 and

100 can be easily configured with an external resistor. Further-

more, a gain of 100 is available by connecting the G = 100 pin to

analog ground. The AD626 also offers low-pass filter capability by

connecting a capacitor between the filter pin and analog ground.

The AD626A and AD626B operate over the industrial temperature

range of –40°C to +85°C.The AD626 is available in two 8-lead

packages: a plastic mini-DIP and SOIC.
