Product details
Overview
AD8276BRZ from Analog Devices is a precision unity-gain difference amplifier optimized for low-power, wide-supply-range signal conditioning in current/voltage monitoring and battery-powered instrumentation. 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 2.0 V to 36 V single supply or ±2 V to ±18 V dual supply.
For engineers reviewing the AD8276BRZ datasheet, AD8276BRZ pinout, AD8276BRZ application, or AD8276BRZ equivalent, this device serves as a compact, laser-trimmed alternative to discrete resistor-based difference amplifiers-offering superior CMRR stability, rail-to-rail input voltage range beyond supplies, and rugged input overvoltage protection up to ±40 V relative to rails.
Technical Context
The AD8276BRZ integrates a low-power op amp with four laser-trimmed on-chip 40 kΩ resistors, enabling precise G = 1 difference amplification without external components. Its internal resistor ratio matching ensures high CMRR and minimal gain drift across temperature.
Input common-mode voltage extends to −2(VS + 0.1) V to +2(VS − 1.5) V, allowing measurement of signals beyond supply rails. Input ESD protection and internal clamping enable operation with input voltages ranging from −VS + 40 V to +VS − 40 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar difference amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| INA199A1DRVT | Fixed gain (50 V/V), lower bandwidth (100 kHz), no SENSE pin, higher supply current (135 μA) | Optimized for unidirectional current sensing only; lacks flexible REF and SENSE for precision voltage monitoring | Select when fixed high gain and minimal external components outweigh need for adjustable common-mode rejection and rail-to-rail input range. |
| AD8476ARMZ | Differential output (not single-ended), 5 MHz bandwidth, 1.2 mA supply current, requires dual supply for full performance | Targets high-speed data acquisition and ADC driver applications-not suited for low-power, single-supply monitoring | Select when driving fully differential ADC inputs with high SNR and wide bandwidth is required, and power budget permits 6× higher current draw. |
Compared with INA199A1DRVT and AD8476ARMZ, the AD8276BRZ uniquely balances ultra-low power (200 μA), rail-to-rail input beyond supplies, and flexible single-ended output via REF/SENSE-making it optimal for portable, multi-function instrumentation where supply headroom and measurement versatility are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage range supported by the AD8276BRZ?
The AD8276BRZ supports an input voltage range from −2(VS + 0.1) V to +2(VS − 1.5) V, enabling measurement beyond supply rails-for example, ±30 V on ±10 V supplies. Absolute maximum ratings allow −VS + 40 V to +VS − 40 V at any input pin. This capability is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Input Voltage Range sections of the AD8276BRZ datasheet Rev. D.
Does the AD8276BRZ require external resistors for unity-gain difference amplification?
No, the AD8276BRZ does not require external resistors for G = 1 operation. It integrates four laser-trimmed 40 kΩ resistors internally, forming a complete difference amplifier with guaranteed 86 dB CMRR and 1 ppm/°C gain drift. External resistors are unnecessary unless configuring nonstandard gains or custom topologies, as detailed in the Functional Block Diagram and Theory of Operation sections of the AD8276BRZ datasheet.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the AD8276BRZ?
Pin 5 (SENSE) on the AD8276BRZ provides a Kelvin connection point to the load side of the sense resistor, isolating trace resistance from the feedback path. This eliminates voltage drop errors caused by PCB trace impedance-critical for sub-milliohm shunt accuracy. The SENSE pin connects directly to the internal resistor network's feedback node, as shown in Figure 1 and described in the Pin Function Descriptions table of the AD8276BRZ datasheet.
Can the AD8276BRZ operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the AD8276BRZ operates from a single 3.3 V supply, well within its 2.0 V to 36 V specification. At 3.3 V, typical bandwidth is 450 kHz, supply current remains ≤200 μA, and output swing is −3.2 V to +3.15 V (referred to supply rails) with 10 kΩ load. These values are verified in Table 3 (Single-Supply Conditions) and Figure 17 of the AD8276BRZ datasheet Rev. D.
How does the REF pin affect the output common-mode voltage of the AD8276BRZ?
The REF pin sets the output common-mode voltage of the AD8276BRZ. When REF is tied to ground, the output centers at 0 V; when tied to midsupply (e.g., 1.65 V on 3.3 V), the output swings symmetrically around that level. This flexibility enables seamless interfacing with single-ended ADCs or differential receivers. The relationship is explicitly defined in the General Description and Applications Information sections of the AD8276BRZ datasheet.
