JFET Input Instrumentation Amplifier with Rail-to-Rail Output in MSOP Package

Analog Devices 

ELECTROCARDIOGRAM SIGNAL CONDITIONING

The AD8220 makes an excellent input amplifier for next

generation ECGs. Its small size, high CMRR over frequency,

rail-to-rail output, and JFET inputs are well suited for this

application. Potentials measured on the skin range from 0.2 mV

to 2 mV. The AD8220 solves many of the typical challenges of

measuring these body surface potentials. The AD8220’s high

CMRR helps reject common-mode signals that come in the

form of line noise or high frequency EMI from equipment in

the operating room. Its rail-to-rail output offers wide dynamic

range allowing for higher gains than would be possible using

other instrumentation amplifiers. JFET inputs offer a large

input capacitance of 5 pF. A natural RC filter is formed reducing

high frequency noise when series input resistors are used in

front of the AD8220 (see the RF Interference section).

AD8220

In addition, the AD8220 JFET inputs have ultralow input bias

current and no current noise, making it useful for ECG

applications where there are often large impedances. The MSOP

package and the AD8220’s optimal pinout allow smaller

footprints and more efficient layout, paving the way for next

generation portable ECGs.

Figure 67 shows an example ECG schematic. Following the

AD8220 is a 0.03 Hz high-pass filter, formed by the 4.7 μF

capacitor and the 1 MΩ resistor, which removes the dc offset

that develops between the electrodes. An additional gain of 50,

provided by the AD8618, makes use of the 0 V to 5 V input

range of the ADC. An active, fifth order, low-pass Bessel filter

removes signals greater than approximately 160 Hz. An OP2177

buffers, inverts, and gains the common-mode voltage taken at

the mid-point of the AD8220 gain setting resistors. This right

leg drive circuit helps cancel common-mode signals by

inverting the common-mode signal and driving it back into the

body. A 499 kΩ series resistor at the output of the OP2177

limits the current driven into the body.
