GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD8205 is a single-supply difference amplifier for

amplifying small differential voltages in the presence of large

common-mode voltages. The operating input common-mode

voltage range extends from −2 V to +65 V. The typical single-

supply voltage is 5 V.

The AD8205 is offered in an 8-lead SOIC package and rated for

operation from −40°C to +125°C for the Y and W grade

models. The H grade version of the AD8205 is rated from

−40°C to +150°C.

Excellent dc performance over temperature keeps errors in the

measurement loop to a minimum. Offset drift is typically less

than 15 µV/°C, and gain drift is typically below 30 ppm/°C.

The output offset can be adjusted from 0.05 V to 4.8 V with a

output is set at half scale. Attaching both pins to GND causes

the output to be unipolar, starting near ground. Attaching both

pins to V+ causes the output to be unipolar starting near V+.

Other offsets can be obtained by applying an external voltage to
