Input Offset Voltage Adjustment

Offset of AD8610 is very small and normally does not require

additional offset adjustment. However, the offset adjust pins can

be used as shown in Figure 66 to further reduce the dc offset. By

using resistors in the range of 50 kΩ, offset trim range is ±3.3 mV.

Figure 66. Offset Voltage Nulling Circuit

Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)

The combination of low noise, low input bias current, low input

offset voltage, and low temperature drift make the AD8610/

AD8620 a perfect solution for programmable gain amplifiers.

PGAs are often used immediately after sensors to increase the

dynamic range of the measurement circuit. Historically, the large

of amplifiers) created a large dc offset in PGAs. Recent and

improved monolithic switches and amplifiers completely remove

these problems. A PGA discrete circuit is shown in Figure 67.

In Figure 67, when the 10 pA bias current of the AD8610 is

negligible offset error.

When high precision resistors are used, as in the circuit of

Figure 67, the error introduced by the PGA is within the

½ LSB requirement for a 16-bit system.
