link to page 6 AD688THEORY OF OPERATION The AD688 consists of a buried Zener diode reference, Amplifiers A3 and A4 are internally compensated and are used amplifiers and associated thin-film resistors as shown in to buffer the voltages at Pin 6 and Pin 8 as well as to provide a Figure 3. The temperature compensation circuitry provides the full Kelvin output. Thus, the AD688 has a full Kelvin capability device with a temperature coefficient of 1.5 ppm/°C or less. by providing the means to sense a system ground, and forced and sensed outputs referenced to that ground. Amplifier A1 performs several functions. A1 primarily acts to amplify the Zener voltage to the required 20 V. In addition, A1 NOISE+10V OUTREDUCTIONVHIGHA3 INSENSE also provides for external adjustment of the 20 V output 7643 through Pin 5 (GAIN ADJ). Using the bias compensation resistor between the Zener output and the noninverting input to +10V OUTA31FORCE A1, a capacitor can be added at the noise reduction pin (Pin 7) RB to form a low-pass filter and reduce the noise contribution of A1AD688–10V OUT14 the Zener to the circuit. Two matched 12 kΩ nominal thin-film R1R4SENSE resistors (R4 and R5) divide the 20 V output in half. –10V OUTR2A415 FORCER5 Ground sensing for the circuit is provided by amplifier A2. The noninverting input (Pin 9) senses the system ground and forces R62+VSR3 the midpoint of resistors R4 and R5 to be a virtual ground. A2 Pin 12 (BAL ADJ) can be used for fine adjustment of this 16 –VS midpoint transfer. 59108121113GAINGNDNCVLOW BALNCA4 INADJSENSEADJ 003 +INNC = NO CONNECT 00815- Figure 3.
