1. Overview of the AD8229HRZ

The AD8229HRZ is a precision, high-speed instrumentation amplifier housed in an 8-lead SOIC package. It is engineered for applications requiring fast response, low distortion, and extremely stable measurement accuracy. Key specifications include:

• Noise Density: 1 nV/√Hz

• Bandwidth: 10 MHz (Gain = 1)

• High CMRR: up to 126 dB

• Low Input Bias Current: 0.3 nA

• Input Impedance: 200 MΩ // 2 pF

• Operating Temperature: –40°C to +85°C

Its design makes it ideal for systems that need reliable performance in noisy or high-frequency environments.

2. Key Features and Advantages

① High Bandwidth with Precision Accuracy

While many instrumentation amplifiers sacrifice speed for stability, the AD8229HRZ delivers both:

• 10 MHz bandwidth

• Low distortion

• Stable gain behavior even at higher frequencies

This makes it suitable for rapid signal measurement, dynamic monitoring, and AC current sensing.

② Exceptional Common-Mode Rejection (CMRR)

With up to 126 dB CMRR, the AD8229HRZ performs exceptionally well in environments with:

• Strong industrial noise

• High voltage common-mode signals

• Power supply ripple or switching noise

This ensures that only the true differential signal is amplified while interference is suppressed.

③ Ultra-Low Noise for Small Signal Applications

The 1 nV/√Hz noise density allows clean amplification of very small sensor signals, making the device ideal for:

• Strain gauges

• Precision current shunts

• Medical bio-signals (EEG/EMG/ECG)

• High-resolution data acquisition (DAQ) systems

Noise-critical applications benefit significantly from its clean signal chain performance.

3. Typical Applications

The AD8229HRZ is well-suited for a wide range of professional and industrial use cases:

✓ Industrial Automation & Process Control

• 4–20 mA loop receivers

• PLC analog inputs

• Differential sensor readout

✓ Current Sensing

• Shunt resistor high-side/low-side measurement

• Motor control feedback loops

• Battery management systems

✓ Medical & Precision Instrumentation

• ECG/EEG/EMG front-ends

✓ Test & Measurement (T&M)

• High-resolution DAQ modules

• Oscilloscope front-end circuits

• Calibration and diagnostic tools

In these systems, the stability, bandwidth, and precision of the AD8229HRZ make it a reliable component choice.

4. Selection Guidelines and Alternatives

The AD8229HRZ is an excellent choice when the design requires:

• High CMRR
