The gain is 1 V/V from the reference pins to In typical applications, the AD8207 is used to measure current the output when the reference pins are used in parallel. When by amplifying the voltage across a shunt resistor connected to the pins are used to divide the supply, the gain is 0.5 V/V. its inputs. The AD8207 offers breakthrough performance without The AD8207 includes a zero-drift amplifier, a precision resistor compromising any of the robust application needs typical network, a common-mode control amplifier, and a precision of solenoid or motor control. The part rejects PWM input reference (see Figure 25). common-mode voltages, while the zero-drift architecture yields the lowest offset and offset drift performance on the market. A set of precision-trimmed resistors make up the network SHUNT that attenuates the input common-mode voltage to within the +IN–IN supply range of the amplifier, in this case with a ratio of 20/1. This attenuation ensures that when the input pins are externally 120kΩ120kΩZERO-DRIFT at the common-mode extremes of −4 V and +65 V, the actual AMPLIFIER voltage at the inputs of the main amplifier is still within the 100kΩ9kΩOUT supply range. 60kΩ60kΩ100kΩ The input resistor network also attenuates normal (differential) 6kΩ6kΩ50kΩ100kΩ mode voltages. Therefore, the total internal gain of the AD8207 is set to 400 V/V to provide a total system gain of 20 V/V.

Simplified Schematic and therefore eliminates the negative effects of such fast- changing external common-mode variations. The AD8207 features an input offset drift of less than 500 nV/°C. This performance is achieved through a novel zero-drift architecture that does not compromise band- width, which is typically rated at 150 kHz.
