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 ±±5 Vꢀ Using only one AD822 rather
than three separate op amps, this circuit is cost and power efficientꢀ
The 2 pA bias currents of the AD822 FET inputs minimize
offset errors caused by high unbalanced source impedancesꢀ

An array of precision thin film resistors sets the in-amp gain to
be either ±0 or ±00ꢀ These resistors are laser trimmed to ratio
match to 0ꢀ0±% and have a maximum differential TC of 5 ppm/°Cꢀ

The AD822 can be used for driving a 350 Ω Wheatstone bridgeꢀ
Figure 50 shows one-half of the AD822 being used to buffer the
AD589, a ±ꢀ235 V low power referenceꢀ The output of 4ꢀ5 V can
be used to drive an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) front endꢀ
The other half of the AD822 is configured as a unity-gain inverter
and generates the other bridge input of −4ꢀ5 Vꢀ Resistor R± and
Resistor R2 provide a constant current for bridge excitationꢀ The
AD620 low power instrumentation amplifier is used to condition
the differential output voltage of the bridgeꢀ The gain of the AD620
is programmed using an external resistor RG and determined by
