GENERAL DESCRIPTION The SGM620 is a high accuracy instrumentation amplifier that requires only one external resistor to set gains of 1 to 10000. Furthermore, the SGM620 features SOIC-8 package that is smaller than discrete designs and offers lower power (only 1mA (TYP) supply current), making it a good fit for battery-powered, portable (or remote) applications.
The SGM620, with its high accuracy of 10ppm (TYP) non-linearity and low offset voltage of 80μV (TYP) is ideal for use in precision data acquisition systems, such as weigh scales and transducer interfaces. Furthermore, the low noise, low input bias current and low power of the SGM620 make it well suited for medical applications, such as ECG and non-invasive blood pressure monitors.
The SGM620 works well as a pre-amplifier due to its low input voltage noise of 13nV/ zH at 1kHz, 0.22μVP-P in the 0.1Hz to 10Hz band and 60fA/ zH input current noise. Also, the SGM620 is well suited for multiplexed applications with its settling time of 19μs to 0.01%.
The SGM620 is available in Green SOIC-8 package. It is specified over the extended -40 ℃ to +125 ℃ temperature range.

Figure 1. Simplified Schematic of SGM620 The input transistors Q1 and Q2 provide a single differential pair input for high precision (Figure 1), yet offer 10 × lower input bias current. Feedback through the Q1-A1-R1 loop and the Q2-A2-R2 loop maintains constant collector current of the input devices Q1 and Q2, thereby impressing the input voltage across the external gain setting resistor RG. This creates a differential gain from the inputs to the A1/A2 outputs given by G = (R1 + R2)/RG + 1. The unity-gain subtractor, A3, removes any common mode signal, yielding a single-ended output referred to the REF pin potential.
The value of RG also determines the transconductance of the pre-amp stage. As RG is reduced for larger gains, the transconductance increases asymptotically to that of the input transistors. This has three important advantages:
(a) Open-loop gain is boosted for increasing programmed gain, thus reducing gain related errors.
(b) The gain-bandwidth product (determined by C1 and C2 and the pre-amp transconductance) increases with programmed gain, thus optimizing frequency response. (c) The input voltage noise is reduced to a value of 13nV/ zH , determined mainly by the collector current and base resistance of the input devices.
The internal gain resistors, R1 and R2, are trimmed to an absolute value of 24.7kΩ, allowing the gain to be programmed accurately with a single external resistor.
The gain equation is then

Figure 2. A Pressure Monitor Circuit that Operates on a 5V Single Supply
Pressure Measurement Although useful in many bridge applications, such as weigh scales, the SGM620 is especially suitable for higher resistance pressure sensors powered at lower voltages where small size and low power become more significant.
Figure 2 shows a 3kΩ pressure transducer bridge powered from 5V. In such a circuit, the bridge consumes only 1.7mA. Adding the SGM620 and a buffered voltage divider allows the signal to be conditioned for 3.3mA (TYP) of total supply current.
Small size makes the SGM620 especially attractive for voltage output pressure transducers. Since it delivers low noise and drift, it will also serve applications such as diagnostic non-invasive blood pressure measurement.
Medical ECG Amplifier The low current noise of the SGM620 allows its use in ECG monitors (Figure 3) where high source resistances of 1MΩ or higher are not uncommon. The SGM620’s low power, low supply voltage requirements, and space-saving SOIC-8 package offering make it an excellent choice for battery powered data recorders.
Furthermore, the low bias currents and low current noise, coupled with the low voltage noise of the SGM620, improve the dynamic range for better performance.
The value of capacitor C1 is chosen to maintain stability of the right leg drive loop. Proper safeguards, such as isolation, must be added to this circuit to protect the patient from possible harm.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) Precision V-I Converter The SGM620, along with another operational amplifier and two resistors, makes a precision current source (Figure 4). The operational amplifier buffers the reference terminal to maintain good CMR. The output voltage, VX, of the SGM620 appears across R1, which converts it to a current. This current, less only the input bias current of the operational amplifier, then flows out to the load.

Figure 4. Precision Voltage-to-Current Converter
(Operates on 1.8mA, ±3V) Input and Output Offset Voltage The low errors of the SGM620 are attributed to two sources, input and output errors. The output error is divided by G when referred to the input. In practice, the input errors dominate at high gains, and the output errors dominate at low gains. The total VOS for a given gain is calculated as
Total Error RTI = Input Error + (Output Error/G) Total Error RTO = (Input Error × G) + Output Error Reference Terminal The reference terminal potential defines the zero output voltage and is especially useful when the load does not share a precise ground with the rest of the system. It provides a direct means of injecting a precise offset to the output, with an allowable range of 2V within the supply voltages. Parasitic resistance should be kept to a minimum for optimum CMR.
Gain Selection The SGM620’s gain is resistor-programmed by RG, or more precisely, by whatever impedance appears between Pins 1 and 8. The SGM620 is designed to offer accurate gains using 0.1% to 1% resistors. Table 1 shows required values of RG for various gains. Note that for G = 1, the RG pins are unconnected (RG = ∞). For any arbitrary gain, RG can be calculated by using the formula:
G49.4kΩR = G - 1
To minimize gain error, avoid high parasitic resistance in series with RG; to minimize gain drift, RG should have a low TC — less than 10ppm/℃ — for the best performance. Table 1. Required Values of Gain Resistors

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) RF Interference All instrumentation amplifiers rectify small out of band signals. The disturbance may appear as a small DC voltage offset. High frequency signals can be filtered with a low pass R-C network placed at the input of the instrumentation amplifier. Figure 6 demonstrates such a configuration. The filter limits the input signal according to the following relationship:
( )DIFFD C
1FilterFreq = 2πR 2C + C
CMC
1FilterFreq = 2πRC
where CD ≥ 10CC.
CD affects the difference signal. CC affects the common mode signal. Any mismatch in R × CC will degrade the SGM620’s CMRR. To avoid inadvertently reducing CMRR-bandwidth performance, make sure that CC is at least one magnitude smaller than CD. The effect of mismatched CCs is reduced with a larger CD:CC ratio.

Figure 6. Circuit to Attenuate RF Interference
Common Mode Rejection Instrumentation amplifiers, such as the SGM620, offer high CMR, which is a measure of the change in output voltage when both inputs are changed by equal amounts. These specifications are usually given for a full-range input voltage change and a specified source imbalance.
For optimal CMR, the reference terminal should be tied to a low impedance point, and differences in capacitance and resistance should be kept to a minimum between the two inputs. In many applications, shielded cables are used to minimize noise; for best CMR over frequency, the shield should be properly driven. Figure 7 and Figure 8 show active data guards that are configured to improve AC common mode rejections by “bootstrapping” the capacitances of input cable shields, thus minimizing the capacitance mismatch between the inputs.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) Grounding Since the SGM620 output voltage is developed with respect to the potential on the reference terminal, it can solve many grounding problems by simply tying the REF pin to the appropriate “local ground”.
To isolate low level analog signals from a noisy digital environment, many data-acquisition components have separate analog and digital ground pins (Figure 9). It would be convenient to use a single ground line; however, current through ground wires and PC runs of the circuit card can cause hundreds of millivolts of error. Therefore, separate ground returns should be provided to minimize the current flow from the sensitive points to
the system ground. These ground returns must be tied together at some point, usually best at the ADC package shown in Figure 9. Ground Returns for Input Bias Currents Input bias currents are those currents necessary to bias the input transistors of an amplifier. There must be a direct return path for these currents. Therefore, when amplifying “floating” input sources, such as transformers or ac-coupled sources, there must be a DC path from each input to ground, as shown in Figure 10, Figure 11 and Figure 12.
