GENERAL DESCRIPTION
T
he AD8475 is a fully differential, attenuating amplifier with
integrated precision gain resistors. It provides precision attenuation
(by 0.4 or 0.8), common-mode level shifting, and single-ended-to-
differential conversion along with input overvoltage protection.
Power dissipation on a single 5 V supply is only 16 mW.
T
he AD8475 is a simple to use, fully integrated precision gain
block, designed to process signal levels of up to ±10 V on a single
supply. It provides a complete interface to make industrial level
signals directly compatible with the differential input ranges of low
voltage high performance 16-bit or 18-bit single-supply successive
approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).
options: 0.4 and 0.8. The gain of the part is set by driving the
input pin corresponding to the appropriate gain.
T
he AD8475 also provides overvoltage protection from large
industrial input voltages up to ±15 V while operating on a single
5 V supply. The VOCM pin adjusts the output voltage common
mode for precision level shifting, to match the ADC’s input range
and maximize dynamic range.

T
he AD8475 works extremely well with SAR, Σ-Δ, and pipeline
converters. The high current output stage of the part allows it to
drive the switched capacitor front-end circuits of many ADCs with
minimal error.
Unlike many differential drivers in the market, the
AD8475 is a
high precision amplifier. With 500 V maximum output offset,
10 nV/√Hz output noise, and 112 dB THD + N, t
he AD8475pairs well with high accuracy converters. Considering its low power
consumption and high precision, the slew-enhance
d AD8475 has
excellent speed, settling to 18-bit precision for 4 MSPS acquisition.
T
he AD8475 is available in a space-saving 16-lead 3 mm × 3 mm
LFCSP package and a 10-lead MSOP package. It is fully specified
over the 40°C to +85°C temperature range.
