Analog Devices offers amplifier for data acquisition and industrial process control

Analog Devices Inc. in Norwood, Mass., is introducing the AD8295 integrated precision instrumentation amplifier front-end for data acquisition, industrial, and instrumentation applications. The device uses 50 percent less board space than competing amplifier solutions, and has an instrumentation amplifier with two uncommitted operational amplifiers and two precision-trimmed matched resistors in one 4-by-4-millimeter chip-scale package. The AD8295 provides an integrated front end for industrial process controls, precision data acquisition systems, medical instrumentation equipment, and Wheatstone bridge measurement applications. The AD8295 operates on single and dual supplies and is suited for applications where ±10-volt input voltages are encountered. The entire chip (in amp and two op amps) uses 2 milliamps of total current, allowing for more channel density and lower-cost designs.
