Product details
Overview
AD620SQ/883B from Analog Devices is a military-grade, low-power instrumentation amplifier with 1–10,000 programmable gain via single external resistor RG, ±2.3 V to ±18 V supply range, 50 μV max input offset voltage, and 120 kHz bandwidth at G = 100 - deployed in precision transducer interfaces, ECG front-ends, and weigh-scale signal chains requiring high CMRR and low drift over −55°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the AD620SQ/883B datasheet, AD620SQ/883B pinout, AD620SQ/883B application, or AD620SQ/883B equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, military-qualified thermal and electrical performance, real-world settling behavior (15 μs to 0.01%), and validated alternatives for ruggedized analog signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The AD620SQ/883B implements a monolithic, three-op-amp-derived architecture with Superβeta bipolar input transistors enabling 1.0 nA max input bias current and 9 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz. Its gain-setting topology uses laser-trimmed 24.7 kΩ internal resistors and an external RG between Pins 1 and 8 to achieve G = 1 + 49.4 kΩ/RG.
It features a fully differential input stage with 10 GΩ||2 pF common-mode and differential impedance, reference terminal (Pin 5) supporting level-shifting, and output swing limited to −VS + 1.2 V to +VS − 1.4 V (RL = 2 kΩ, ±5 V to ±18 V). CMRR reaches 130 dB at G = 100 (DC–60 Hz, 1 kΩ source imbalance).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Range | 1 to 10,000 - set by single external resistor RG; enables scalable amplification without redesigning signal chain topology. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 50 μV max - ensures ≤25 ppm full-scale error in 20 mV bridge applications at room temperature. |
| Supply Current | 1.3 mA max - supports battery-powered portable instrumentation with minimal thermal load and PCB space. |
| Bandwidth (G = 100) | 120 kHz - sufficient for ECG (0.05–150 Hz), pressure sensor outputs, and industrial process control loop sampling. |
| Settling Time | 15 μs to 0.01% - enables accurate multiplexed data acquisition at ≥50 kSPS per channel with stable gain. |
| Operating Temp Range | −55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-STD-883, suitable for avionics, downhole tools, and defense electronics. |
| CMRR (G = 100) | 130 dB min - rejects >99.99% of 60 Hz common-mode interference from unshielded transducer cables. |
Pinout & Package
AD620SQ/883B is housed in an 8-lead CERDIP (Q) package with hermetic ceramic/metal construction rated for military temperature and reliability requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 3 | Noninverting Input (+IN) | Differential input node; accepts positive leg of bridge or sensor; matched to Pin 2 for CMR optimization. |
| 4 | Negative Supply (−VS) | Ground-referenced or negative rail connection; supports dual-supply operation down to ±2.3 V. |
| 5 | Reference (REF) | Output DC level shift point; sets output common-mode voltage; driven externally for level translation. |
| 6 | Output | Single-ended amplified output; rail-to-rail swing limited to −VS + 1.2 V / +VS − 1.4 V (RL = 2 kΩ). |
| 7 | Positive Supply (+VS) | Positive rail connection; supports wide supply range up to ±18 V; enables high dynamic range in industrial systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8221BRZ | Lower input offset (25 μV max), higher CMRR (130 dB at G = 100), but only −40°C to +85°C rating. | Commercial/industrial systems where extended temperature is not required; lower cost per unit volume. | Select AD8221BRZ when ambient operating range stays within commercial limits and tighter initial offset is prioritized. |
| AD8429ARZ | Ultra-low voltage noise (0.94 nV/√Hz), wider bandwidth (3.5 MHz at G = 100), but 2.5 mA supply current and no MIL qualification. | High-speed biomedical diagnostics (e.g., EEG) or precision test equipment needing sub-nV/√Hz performance. | Choose AD8429ARZ only when ultra-low noise outweighs power budget and military environmental compliance. |
Compared with AD8221BRZ and AD8429ARZ, the AD620SQ/883B uniquely balances military temperature range, hermetic packaging, sub-1.3 mA quiescent current, and proven field reliability - making it irreplaceable in aerospace, defense, and downhole applications where qualification trumps raw specs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for AD620SQ/883B?
The AD620SQ/883B is qualified per MIL-STD-883 and operates across −55°C to +125°C. This extended range is achieved through hermetic CERDIP packaging and rigorous screening - unlike commercial AD620 variants limited to −40°C to +85°C. The AD620SQ/883B maintains specified gain error, offset drift, and CMRR throughout this full military temperature envelope.
Does AD620SQ/883B require external components to set gain?
Yes, AD620SQ/883B requires a single external resistor RG connected between Pins 1 and 8 to set gain from 1 to 10,000 using G = 1 + 49.4 kΩ/RG. For G = 1, Pins 1 and 8 remain unconnected. The AD620SQ/883B datasheet specifies 0.1% tolerance and <10 ppm/°C TC for optimal accuracy - no capacitors or additional op amps are needed for basic operation.
How does the REF pin function in AD620SQ/883B?
The REF pin (Pin 5) of AD620SQ/883B sets the output common-mode voltage. When driven to a fixed DC voltage (e.g., 2.5 V), the output becomes VOUT = G × (V+IN − V−IN) + VREF. This enables level-shifting into single-supply ADCs or interfacing with downstream circuitry requiring specific input voltage ranges - a key feature for battery-powered and isolated sensor systems using the AD620SQ/883B.
Is AD620SQ/883B pin-compatible with other AD620 variants?
Yes, AD620SQ/883B shares identical 8-lead CERDIP pinout and electrical behavior with AD620ARZ (SOIC) and AD620AN (PDIP), including Pin 1/8 (RG), Pin 2 (−IN), Pin 3 (+IN), Pin 4 (−VS), Pin 5 (REF), Pin 6 (OUT), and Pin 7 (+VS). Mechanical footprint differs due to CERDIP vs. plastic packages, but PCB layout can reuse same pad pattern with minor land pattern adjustments for hermetic sealing.
What is the small-signal bandwidth of AD620SQ/883B at G = 1?
The AD620SQ/883B delivers 1 MHz small-signal −3 dB bandwidth at G = 1, as confirmed in the Rev. H datasheet (Table 2, Dynamic Response section). This bandwidth supports fast step response and high-frequency noise rejection in applications such as active filter preamplifiers and wideband sensor monitoring - while maintaining 1.3 mA supply current and 9 nV/√Hz input voltage noise.
