Product details
Overview
AD8276ARZ from Analog Devices is a precision unity-gain difference amplifier optimized for low-power, wide-supply-range signal conditioning in current and voltage monitoring applications. It delivers 86 dB CMRR (dc to 10 kHz), 550 kHz bandwidth, ±2 µV/°C system offset drift (B grade), 1 ppm/°C gain drift, and operates from single supplies as low as 2.0 V up to 36 V or dual supplies ±2 V to ±18 V.
For engineers reviewing the AD8276ARZ datasheet, AD8276ARZ pinout, AD8276ARZ application, or AD8276ARZ equivalent, this device is selected for high-accuracy differential measurement where rail-to-rail input common-mode range beyond supplies, rugged input overvoltage protection, and ultra-low quiescent current (200 µA max) are critical in battery-powered instrumentation and industrial sensing systems.
Technical Context
The AD8276ARZ integrates four laser-trimmed on-chip resistors with a low-noise, low-power op amp to form a fully matched difference amplifier topology. Its internal resistor network enables precise gain setting without external components while maintaining ratio matching for high CMRR and minimal gain drift across temperature.
Input voltage range extends to −2(VS + 0.1) V to +2(VS − 1.5) V - enabling measurement of signals beyond supply rails - and ESD-protected inputs tolerate voltages from −VS + 40 V to +VS − 40 V, eliminating need for external overvoltage clamping circuitry in harsh environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CMRR | 86 dB min (dc to 10 kHz): ensures accurate rejection of common-mode noise in noisy industrial or motor-control environments. |
| Bandwidth | 550 kHz: supports fast transient response in real-time current/voltage monitoring up to ~50 kHz signal content. |
| Supply Current | 200 µA max per channel: enables multi-channel sensing in energy-constrained portable or remote IoT nodes. |
| Input Range | −2(VS + 0.1) V to +2(VS − 1.5) V: allows direct measurement of high-side shunt voltages without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Gain Drift | 1 ppm/°C max (B grade): guarantees stable gain calibration over −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. |
| System Offset Drift | ±2 µV/°C max (B grade): minimizes thermal-induced error in precision dc-coupled measurement chains. |
| Slew Rate | 1.1 V/µs: supports clean amplification of fast step inputs (e.g., fault detection pulses) without distortion. |
Pinout & Package
The AD8276ARZ is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package (R-8) with standard JEDEC footprint and RoHS-compliant lead finish. Thermal resistance θJA = 121°C/W (4-layer board, no airflow).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 REF | Reference Voltage Input | Sets output common-mode level; accepts dc bias or midsupply reference for single-supply operation. |
| 2 −IN | Inverting Input | One leg of differential input pair; connected internally to precision 40 kΩ resistor network. |

| 7 +VS | Positive Supply | Main power rail; accepts 2.0 V to 36 V single or ±2 V to ±18 V dual supply operation. |
| 8 NC | No Connect | Unbonded pad; must remain floating - no external connection required or recommended. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Extends beyond supplies (e.g., ±30 V on ±10 V rails), enabling direct high-side current sensing without external level shifters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar difference amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8271ARMZ | Higher bandwidth (1.5 MHz), higher supply current (450 µA), same SOIC-8 package and pinout. | Better suited for higher-speed applications like motor control loop feedback; less optimal for ultra-low-power designs. | Select AD8271ARMZ when bandwidth >1 MHz is required and power budget allows >2× quiescent current. |
| INA199A1DCKR | Fixed gain (50 V/V), lower CMRR (70 dB), smaller SC70-6 package, 120 µA supply current. | Optimized for unidirectional current sensing only; lacks flexible reference input and rail-to-rail input range. | Choose INA199A1DCKR for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, single-gain current-sense applications where CMRR >80 dB is not mandatory. |
Compared with AD8276ARZ, AD8271ARMZ trades power efficiency for speed, while INA199A1DCKR sacrifices configurability and CMRR for size and cost - making AD8276ARZ the balanced choice for general-purpose, low-power, high-accuracy differential measurement.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage range supported by the AD8276ARZ?
The AD8276ARZ supports an input common-mode voltage range from −2(VS + 0.1) V to +2(VS − 1.5) V. For example, with ±15 V supplies, inputs can safely reach ±27 V. Absolute maximum ratings allow −VS + 40 V to +VS − 40 V at any input pin - meaning ±30 V is permissible on ±10 V rails. This rail-to-rail input capability is intrinsic to the AD8276ARZ architecture and requires no external components.
Does the AD8276ARZ require external resistors for unity-gain operation?
No, the AD8276ARZ does not require external resistors for unity-gain operation. It integrates four precisely matched 40 kΩ laser-trimmed resistors internally, forming a complete difference amplifier with G = 1. The AD8276ARZ is configured out-of-the-box for differential input to single-ended output with no external gain-setting components needed - simplifying layout and improving long-term stability.
What is the typical CMRR performance of the AD8276ARZ over frequency?
The AD8276ARZ maintains ≥86 dB CMRR from dc to 10 kHz, and ≥80 dB up to 100 kHz as shown in Figure 14 of the datasheet. This high-frequency CMRR is enabled by internal resistor matching and absence of exposed op-amp inputs - unlike discrete solutions where PCB parasitics degrade performance. At 1 MHz, CMRR remains >60 dB, making the AD8276ARZ suitable for switching power supply monitoring where high-frequency noise rejection is essential.
Can the AD8276ARZ be used with a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the AD8276ARZ operates from single supplies as low as 2.0 V up to 36 V. With a 3.3 V supply, it delivers 450 kHz bandwidth, 1.0 V/µs slew rate, and maintains 86 dB CMRR at VCM = 0 V to 2.4 V. Output swing reaches −VS + 0.1 V to +VS − 0.15 V (i.e., 0.1 V to 3.15 V), and supply current remains ≤200 µA - confirming full functionality and specified performance in low-voltage embedded systems using the AD8276ARZ.
How does the SENSE pin function in the AD8276ARZ?
The SENSE pin (Pin 5) in the AD8276ARZ provides Kelvin connection to the output stage, allowing separation of load current return path from output voltage sensing. When used with a 4-wire PCB layout, the SENSE pin routes feedback directly to the amplifier's internal output node - rejecting voltage drop across PCB traces or bond wires. This ensures accurate gain and linearity in high-current or high-precision applications, and is a key differentiator of the AD8276ARZ versus basic op-amp-based difference circuits.
