The The offset voltage and bias current of the amplifier contribute to instrumentation amplifier configuration features high common- output error. Input offset voltage is passed by the filter and can mode rejection, balanced differential inputs, and stable, accurately be amplified to produce excessive output offset. For low frequency defined gain. Low input bias currents and fast settling are achieved applications requiring large value input resistors, bias and offset with the JFET input AD8610/AD8620. Most instrumentation currents flowing through these resistors also generate an offset amplifiers cannot match the high frequency performance of this voltage. circuit. The circuit bandwidth is 25 MHz at a gain of 1, and close to At higher frequencies, the dynamic response of the amplifier 5 MHz at a gain of 10. Settling time for the entire circuit is 550 ns to must be carefully considered. In this case, slew rate, bandwidth, 0.01% for a 10 V step (gain = 10). Note that the resistors around and open-loop gain play a major role in amplifier selection. the input pins need to be small enough in value so that the RC The slew rate must be both fast and symmetrical to minimize time constant they form in combination with stray circuit capaci- distortion. The bandwidth of the amplifier, in conjunction with the tance does not reduce circuit bandwidth. gain of the filter, dictates the frequency response of the filter. The V+ use of high performance amplifiers, such as the AD8610/AD8620, minimizes both dc and ac errors in all active filter applications. 8+INA3Second-Order, Low-Pass Filter1/2 AD8620 1U1 Figure 69 shows the AD8610 configured as a second-order, 24 Butterworth, low-pass filter. With the values as shown, the C510pF design corner was 1 MHz, and the bench measurement was V–V+ 974 kHz. The wide bandwidth of the AD8610/AD8620 allows R1 corner frequencies into the megahertz range, but the input 1kΩ7 capacitances should be taken into account by making C1 and 3R4VR7C4OUT C2 smaller than the calculated values.
