GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADA4351-2 is a compact, monolithic, dual-channel, precision,

programmable gain transimpedance amplifier (PGTIA). The

ADA4351-2 is a breakthrough solution for precisely measuring

small currents over a wide dynamic range. The precision of the

ADA4351-2 over a wide temperature range of −40°C to +125°C

enables users to perform one calibration of the end equipment

at room temperature, thereby saving test time and cost. The

ADA4351-2 integrates two low off leakage current switches per

channel, and the gain is programmable using two user-selectable

external resistors to provide a flexible, fully functional compact

PGTIA solution. Separate analog and digital supplies allow the

amplifier of the ADA4351-2 to operate on bipolar supplies, while

the integrated logic level shifting allows the digital interface to

remain ground referenced. Additionally, with its robust output stage

and low noise, the ADA4351-2 can directly drive 16-bit precision

analog-to-digital converters (ADCs, such as AD4696), providing a

complete analog front-end (AFE) to address the most challenging

precision current measurement applications.
