PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD620 is a low cost, high accuracy instrumentation ampli-
fier which requires only one external resistor to set gains of 1 to
1000. Furthermore, the AD620 features 8-pin SOIC and DIP
packaging that is smaller than discrete designs, and offers lower

power (only 1.3 mA max supply current), making it a good fit
for battery powered, portable (or remote) applications.
The AD620, with its high accuracy of 40 ppm maximum
nonlinearity, low offset voltage of 50 µV max and offset drift of
0.6 µV/°C max, is ideal for use in precision data acquisition sys-
tems, such as weigh scales and transducer interfaces. Further-
more, the low noise, low input bias current, and low power of
the AD620 make it well suited for medical applications such as
ECG and noninvasive blood pressure monitors.
The low input bias current of 1.0 nA max is made possible with
the use of Superβeta processing in the input stage. The AD620
works well as a preamplifier due to its low input voltage noise of
9 nV/
Hz at 1 kHz, 0.28 µV p-p in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz band,
0.1 pA/
Hz input current noise. Also, the AD620 is well suited
for multiplexed applications with its settling time of 15 µs to
0.01% and its cost is low enough to enable designs with one in
amp per channel.
