GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD22050 is a single-supply difference amplifier for ampli-
fying and low-pass filtering small differential voltages (typically
100 mV FS at a gain of 40) from sources having a large common-
mode voltage.
Supply voltages from +3.0 V to +36 V can be used. The input
common-mode range extends from below ground to +24 V using
a +5 V supply with excellent rejection of this common-mode
voltage. This is achieved by the use of a special resistive attenua-
tor at the input, laser trimmed to a very high differential balance.
Provisions are included for optional low-pass filtering and gain
adjustment. An accurate midscale offset feature allows bipolar
signals to be amplified.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD22050 is a single-supply difference amplifier consisting
of a precision balanced attenuator, a very low drift preamplifier
and an output buffer amplifier (A1 and A2, respectively, in
Figure 2). It has been designed so that small differential sig-
nals (V
DM
in Figure 3) can be accurately amplified and filtered
in the presence of large common-mode voltages (V
CM
) without
the use of any other active components.
+V
S
OFS A1
A2
(Pin 6), permitting the conditioning and processing of bipolar
signals (see Strain Gage Interface section).
The output buffer A2 has a gain of
×2,
setting the precalibrated,
overall gain of the AD22050, with no external components, to
×20.
(This gain is easily user-configurable—see Altering the
Gain section for details.)
The dynamic properties of the AD22050 are optimized for
interfacing to transducers; in particular, current sensing shunt
resistors. Its rejection of large, high frequency, common-mode
signals makes it superior to that of many alternative approaches.
This is due to the very careful design of the input attenuator and
the close integration of this highly balanced, high impedance
system with the preamplifier.

Figure 2. Simplified Schematic
The resistive attenuator network is situated at the input to the
AD22050 (Pins 1 and 8), allowing the common-mode voltage at
Pins 1 and 8 to be six times greater than that which can be toler-
ated by the actual input to A1. As a result, the input common-
mode range extends to 6× (V
S
– 1 V).
Two small filter capacitors (not shown in Figure 2) have been
included at the inputs of A1 to minimize the effects of any spuri-
ous RF signals present in the signal.
Internal feedback around A1 sets the closed-loop gain of the
preamplifier to
×10
from the input pins; the output of A1 is
connected to Pin 3 via a 100 kΩ resistor, which is trimmed to
±
3% (R12 in Figure 2) to facilitate the low-pass filtering of the
signal of interest (see Low-Pass Filtering section). The inclusion
of an additional resistive network allows the output of A1 to be
offset to an optional voltage of one half of that supplied to Pin 7;
in many cases this offset would be +V

The AD22050 can be used wherever a high gain, single-supply
differencing amplifier is required, and where a finite input resis-
tance (240 kΩ to ground, 400 kΩ between differential inputs)
can be tolerated. In particular, the ability to handle a common-
mode input considerably larger than the supply voltage is fre-
quently of value.
Also, the output can run down to within 20 mV of ground,
provided it is not called on to sink any load current. Finally, the
output can be offset to half of a full-scale reference voltage (with
a tolerance of
±
2%) to allow a bipolar input signal.
ALTERING THE GAIN
The gain of the preamplifier, from the attenuator input (Pins 1
and 8) to its output at Pin 3, is
×10
and that of the output
buffer, from Pin 4 to Pin 5, is
×2,
thus making the overall de-
fault gain
×20.
The overall gain is accurately trimmed (to within
±
0.5%). In some cases, it may be desirable to provide for some
variation in the gain; for example, in absorbing the scaling error
of a transducer.
Figure 3 shows a general method for trimming the gain, either
upward or downward, by an amount dependent on the resistor,
R. The gain range, expressed as a percentage of the overall gain,
AD22050
is given by (10 MΩ/R)%. Thus, the adjustment range would be
±
2% for R = 5 MΩ;
±
10% for R = 1 MΩ, etc.

now multiplied by the factor R/(R–100k); for example, it is
doubled for R = 200 kΩ. Overall gains of up to
×160
(R = 114 kΩ)
are readily achievable in this way. Note, however, that the accu-
racy of the gain becomes critically dependent on resistor value at
high gains. Also, the effective input offset voltage at Pins 1 and
8 (about six times the actual offset of A1) limits the part’s use in
very high gain, dc-coupled applications. The gain may be trimmed
by using a fixed and variable resistor in series (see, for example,
Figure 10).

In addition to the method above, another method may be used
to vary the gain. Many applications will call for a gain higher
than
×20,
and some require a lower gain. Both of these situa-
tions are readily accommodated by the addition of one external
resistor, plus an optional potentiometer if gain adjustment is
required (for example, to absorb a calibration error in a trans-
ducer).
Decreasing the Gain.
See Figure 4. Since the output of the
preamplifier has an output resistance of 100 kΩ, an external
resistor connected from Pin 4 to ground will precisely lower the
gain by a factor R/(100k+R). When configuring the AD22050
for any gain, the maximum input and the power supply being
used should be considered, since either the preamplifier or the
output buffer will reach its full-scale output (approximately
V
S
– 0.2 V) with large differential input voltages. The input of
the AD22050 is limited to no greater than (V – 0.2)/10, for
overall gains less than 10, since the preamplifier, with its fixed
gain of
×10,
reaches its full scale output before the output
buffer. For V
S
= 5 V this is 0.48 V. For gains greater than 10,
however, the swing at the buffer output reaches its full-scale first
and limits the AD22050 input to (V
S
– 0.2)/G, where G is the
overall gain. Increasing the power supply voltage increases the
allowable maximum input. For V
S
= 5 V and a nominal gain of
20, the maximum input is 240 mV.
The overall bandwidth is unaffected by changes in gain using
this method, although there may be a small offset voltage due to
the imbalance in source resistances at the input to A2. In many
cases this can be ignored but, if desired, can be nulled by insert-
ing a resistor in series with Pin 4 (at “Point X” in Figure 4) of
value 100 kΩ minus the parallel sum of R and 100 kΩ. For
example, with R = 100 kΩ (giving a total gain of
×10),
the op-
tional offset nulling resistor is 50 kΩ.

Once again, a small offset voltage will arise from an imbalance
in source resistances and the finite bias currents inherently
present at the input of A2. In most applications this additional
offset error (about 130
µV
at
×40)
will be comparable with the
specified offset range and will therefore introduce negligible
skew. It may, however, be essentially eliminated by the addition
of a resistor in series with the parallel sum of R and 100 kΩ
(i.e., at “Point X” in Figure 5) so the total series resistance is
maintained at 100 kΩ. For example, at a gain of
×30,
when
R = 300 kΩ and the parallel sum of R and 100 kΩ is 75 kΩ, the
padding resistor should be 25 kΩ. A 50 kΩ pot would provide
an offset range of about
±
2.25 mV referred to the output, or
±
75
µV
referred to the attenuator input. A specific example is
shown in Figure 12.
LOW-PASS FILTERING
In many transducer applications it is necessary to filter the sig-
nal to remove spurious high frequency components, including
noise, or to extract the mean value of a fluctuating signal with a
peak-to-average ratio (PAR) greater than unity. For example, a
full wave rectified sinusoid has a PAR of 1.57, a raised cosine
has a PAR of 2 and a half wave sinusoid has a PAR of 3.14.
Signals having large spikes may have PARs of 10 or more.
When implementing a filter, the PAR should be considered so
the output of the AD22050 preamplifier (A1) does not clip
before A2 does, since this nonlinearity would be averaged and
appear as an error at the output. To avoid this error both ampli-
fiers should be made to clip at the same time. This condition is
achieved when the PAR is no greater than the gain of the second
amplifier (2 for the default configuration). For example, if a
PAR of 5 is expected, the gain of A2 should be increased to 5.
Low-pass filters can be implemented in several ways using the
features provided by the AD22050. In the simplest case, a
single-pole filter (20 dB/decade) is formed when the output of
A1 is connected to the input of A2 via the internal 100 kΩ resis-
tor by strapping Pins 3 and 4, and a capacitor added from this
node to ground, as shown in Figure 6. The dc gain remains
×20,
and the gain trim shown in Figure 3 may still be used. If a resis-
tor is added across the capacitor to lower the gain, the corner
frequency will increase; it should be calculated using the parallel
sum of the resistor and 100 kΩ.

A two-pole filter (with a roll-off of 40 dB/decade) can be imple-

a 20 Hz corner). A maximally flat response occurs when the
resistor is lowered to 196 kΩ and the scaling is then 1.145 Hz-

The output offset is raised by about 4 mV (equivalent to

The current in a load, here shown as a solenoid, is controlled by
a power transistor that is either cut off or saturated by a pulse at
its base; the duty-cycle of the pulse determines the average
current. This current is sensed in a small resistor. The aver-
age differential voltage across this resistor is typically 100 mV,
although its peak value will be higher by an amount that
depends on the inductance of the load and the control fre-
quency. The common-mode voltage, on the other hand, extends
from roughly 1 V above ground, when the transistor is satu-
rated, to about 1.5 V above the battery voltage, when the tran-
sistor is cut off and the diode conducts.
