GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8231-EP is a low drift, rail-to-rail, instrumentation amplifier with software-programmable gains of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128. The gains are programmed via digital logic or pin strapping.
The AD8231-EP is ideal for applications that require precision performance over a wide temperature range, such as industrial temperature sensing and data logging. Because the gain setting resistors are internal, maximum gain drift is only 10 ppm/°C for gains of 1 to 32. Because of the auto-zero input stage, maximum input offset is 15 µV and maximum input offset drift is just 50 nV/°C. CMRR is 80 dB for G = 1, increasing to 110 dB at higher gains.
