Product details
Overview
AD8226BRZ from Analog Devices is a low-cost, rail-to-rail output instrumentation amplifier with gain set by a single external resistor (1 to 1000), wide supply range (±1.35 V to ±18 V or 2.2 V to 36 V), −40°C to +125°C operation, and 22 nV/√Hz input voltage noise - used in precision bridge sensor signal conditioning for industrial process control.
For engineers reviewing the AD8226BRZ datasheet, AD8226BRZ pinout, AD8226BRZ application, or AD8226BRZ equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-8 package details, real-world use cases in medical instrumentation and portable data acquisition, and validated alternative options for multichannel, space-constrained designs requiring robust input protection and rail-to-rail output swing.
Technical Context
The AD8226BRZ employs a three-op-amp architecture with pnp-input transistors enabling input voltages below the negative supply rail and guaranteed overvoltage tolerance of ±35 V (with ±5 V supplies). Its reference terminal supports level-shifting output without affecting gain accuracy.
Gain is set via external resistor RG between Pins 2 and 3 using G = 1 + (49.4 kΩ / RG); CMRR reaches 120 dB at G = 100/1000 (DC–60 Hz) and remains ≥90 dB up to 5 kHz. Input bias current flows out of both inputs, enabling open-wire detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | Single: 2.2 V to 36 V; Dual: ±1.35 V to ±18 V - supports battery-powered and industrial rail systems without level-shifting. |
| Gain Range | 1 to 1000 via single external resistor - enables flexible scaling for mV-level bridge outputs up to ±10 V full-scale signals. |
| Input Voltage Range | Extends 0.1 V below −VS and 0.8 V below +VS at +25°C - allows direct amplification of ground-referenced sensors on single supply. |
| CMRR (G=1) | 90 dB min (DC–60 Hz) - rejects common-mode noise from long sensor leads in noisy factory environments. |
| Bandwidth (G=1) | 1.5 MHz - supports dynamic strain measurements and fast step-response in data acquisition systems. |
| Input Noise | 22 nV/√Hz @ 1 kHz - preserves SNR for low-amplitude thermocouple or RTD signals. |
| Quiescent Current | 350 µA typ @ +25°C - enables always-on monitoring in power-sensitive portable instruments. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control applications. |
Pinout & Package
AD8226BRZ is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (body size 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant and rated for surface-mount reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (−IN) | Negative input | Inverting input of first-stage differential pair; accepts signals down to −VS − 0.1 V. |
| 2, 3 (RG) | Gain-setting terminals | Connect external resistor between these pins to set gain per G = 1 + (49.4 kΩ / RG). |
| 4 (+IN) | Positive input | Non-inverting input of first-stage differential pair; matched impedance to Pin 1. |
| 5 (−VS) | Negative supply | Reference for internal circuitry; must be connected even in single-supply operation (e.g., tied to GND). |
| 6 (REF) | Reference input | Drives output common-mode level; requires low-impedance source (e.g., DAC or filtered supply). |
| 7 (VOUT) | Amplified output | Rail-to-rail swing (e.g., −VS + 0.2 V to +VS − 0.2 V @ RL = 10 kΩ) enables full ADC utilization. |
| 8 (+VS) | Positive supply | Primary power rail; supports wide voltage range and high PSRR (>100 dB up to 100 kHz). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-resistor gain programming | Eliminates trimming and reduces BOM count vs. fixed-gain alternatives like AD623. |
| Input overvoltage protection | Withstands ±35 V input with ±5 V supply - prevents damage from ESD or wiring faults in field-deployed sensors. |
| Rail-to-rail output | Delivers >99% of supply rails at 10 kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range into 12-bit+ SAR ADCs. |
| Extended temperature range | Specified from −40°C to +125°C - supports operation in uncooled enclosures near motors or power electronics. |
| Low quiescent current | 350 µA typical - enables multi-channel systems with <1 mA total analog front-end current budget. |
| Input below negative rail | Accepts signals as low as −VS − 0.15 V at −40°C - simplifies single-supply design for ground-referenced bridges. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar instrumentation amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8227BRZ | Same SOIC-8 package and architecture, but minimum gain = 5 (not 1); higher CMRR (110 dB min @ G=5). | Better for fixed high-gain bridge circuits where unity gain is unnecessary; not suitable for variable-gain or unity-gain buffer use. | Select AD8227BRZ when gain ≥5 suffices and enhanced CMRR is prioritized over flexibility. |
| AD623ARZ | Fixed-gain variants (G=1, 5, 10, 100); no external RG; higher supply current (600 µA); narrower supply range (±2.5 V to ±18 V). | Drop-in replacement for legacy designs; lacks single-resistor programmability and extended low-voltage operation. | Choose AD623ARZ only for cost-sensitive, fixed-gain applications where layout reuse is critical and 2.2 V single-supply operation is not required. |
Compared with AD8226BRZ, AD8227BRZ trades unity-gain flexibility for improved CMRR at G≥5, while AD623ARZ sacrifices programmability and low-voltage capability for simpler implementation in static-gain systems - making AD8226BRZ optimal for adaptable, ultra-low-power, wide-supply industrial sensing.

FAQ
What is the maximum input overvoltage rating for AD8226BRZ?
The AD8226BRZ is guaranteed to withstand input voltages up to ±35 V beyond the supply rails (e.g., −VS + 40 V and +VS − 40 V) across −40°C to +125°C. This protects against transient surges and wiring errors in industrial field installations without external clamping diodes.
Can AD8226BRZ operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, AD8226BRZ supports single-supply operation from 2.2 V to 36 V. At 3.3 V, it delivers rail-to-rail output swing (e.g., 0.1 V to 3.2 V @ RL = 10 kΩ) and maintains 1.5 MHz bandwidth at G = 1, making it ideal for low-voltage portable instrumentation.
How does the REF pin function in AD8226BRZ?
The REF pin sets the output common-mode voltage independently of gain. Driven by a low-impedance source (e.g., DAC or filtered voltage), it shifts VOUT by +VREF with unity gain - enabling level translation into ADC input ranges without affecting differential gain accuracy or CMRR.
What is the typical input bias current behavior of AD8226BRZ?
AD8226BRZ uses pnp-input transistors, so input bias current flows *out* of both −IN and +IN pins. Typical values are 5–27 nA at +25°C and remain stable across temperature (5–35 nA from −40°C to +125°C), supporting reliable open-wire fault detection in 4-wire sensor configurations.
Is AD8226BRZ pin-compatible with AD8221 or AD620?
No, AD8226BRZ is not pin-compatible with AD8221 or AD620. It uses an 8-lead SOIC package with unique pinout (RG pins at 2/3, REF at 6), whereas AD8221 uses 8-lead SOIC with different pin assignments (REF at 5, no RG pins), and AD620 uses 8-lead DIP/SOIC with gain-set pins at 1/8. PCB layout must be redesigned for substitution.
