Key Differentiators
- Ultralow input voltage noise of 1 nV/√Hz (vs AD8221ARZ)
- High CMRR of 140 dB minimum (vs AD620ARZ)
- Wide temperature range of -40°C to +125°C (vs AD8221ARZ)
Design Notes
For optimal noise performance, use a solid ground plane and keep input traces short and shielded. Place decoupling capacitors (0.1 µF and 10 µF) close to the supply pins. Avoid routing digital signals near the input pins to prevent coupling.
The REF pin must be driven with a low-impedance source (<1 Ω) to maintain CMRR. Do not exceed the REF pin voltage beyond ±0.3 V of the supplies, as it is protected with ESD diodes. Ensure input voltages stay within the common-mode range to avoid output saturation.
The AD8429ARZ in an 8-SOIC package has a typical thermal resistance (θJA) of around 100°C/W. For high supply voltages and output currents, ensure adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation. In most precision measurement applications, power dissipation is low, but verify worst-case conditions.
