As a re sult, the in put CMR ex tends to six times the quantity (VS – 1 V). The over all common - mode error is min i mized by precise laser-trimming of R3 and R4, –V thus giving the AD626 a common-mode re jec tion ra tio (CMRR) S of at least 10,000:1 (80 dB). Figure 3. Settling Time Test Circuit To minimize the effect of spurious RF signals at the inputs due to rectifi cation at the input to A1, small fi lter capacitors C1 and C2 THEORY OF OPERATION are included. The AD626 is a differential amplifi er con sist ing of a precision bal anced attenuator, a very low drift preamplifi er (A1), and an The output of A1 is connected to the in put of A2 via a 100 k⍀ out put buffer amplifi er (A2). It has been designed so that small (R12) resistor to facilitate the low-pass fi ltering of the sig nal of differential signals can be accurately am pli fi ed and fi ltered in the in ter est (see Low-Pass Filtering section). presence of large common -mode voltages (VCM), without the use The 200 k⍀ input impedance of the AD626 requires that the source of any other active components. re sis tance driving this amplifi er be low in val ue (<1 k⍀)—this is +VSFILTERC1AD6265pFR1200k ⍀ R12+IN100k ⍀ A1–INA2OUTR2C2200k ⍀ 5pFR17R3R495k ⍀ 41k ⍀ 41k ⍀ R15R910k ⍀ 10k ⍀ R54.2k ⍀ R11R6R7R8R10R14R1310k ⍀ 500 ⍀ 500 ⍀ 10k ⍀ 10k ⍀ 555 ⍀ 10k ⍀ GNDGAIN = 100–VS Figure 4.
