For this reason the circuit in Figure 26b should be used if the gains are all greater than 5. For gains less 300nV Hz than 5, either the circuit in Figure 26a or in Figure 26c can be –3 used.

RTO Noise, Offset, Drift and Bandwidth vs. F provides feedback to the input stage and sets the unity gain transconductance. These feedback Feedback Resistance Normalized to 20 kΩ resistors are provided by the user. The AD625 is tested and specified with a value of 20 kΩ for R Table I. Common Gains Nominally Within0.5% Error F. Since the magnitude of RTO errors increases with increasing feedback resistance, values Using Standard 1% Resistors much above 20 kΩ are not recommended (values below 10 kΩ GAINR for R FRG F may lead to instability). Refer to the graph of RTO noise, offset, drift, and bandwidth (Figure 28) when selecting the 1 20 kΩ ∞ feedback resistors.

The sense terminal is the feedback point for the AD625 output For single gain applications, only one offset null adjust is neces- amplifier. Normally it is connected directly to the output. If sary; in these cases the RTI null should be used. heavy load currents are to be drawn through long leads, voltage drops through lead resistance can cause errors. In these in- stances the sense terminal can be wired to the load thus putting REV. D –9–
