Charles Kitchin and Lew Counts, Analog Devices, Inc.In summary, the conversation discusses the use of the AD524 amplifier to amplify a DC signal. The input- pin is connected to the ground, input+ pin to 0.5V, and RG2 pin to G=10. The reference pin is connected to ground and VS+ and VS- pins are connected to 9V and -9V, respectively. The output is consistently -4.5V, even when changing the gain setting and input voltage. The user is unsure of the cause and asks for assistance.

Hi all;

I am trying to amplify a dc signal using the AD524 amplifier .
I connected the input- pin (pin 1) to the ground. pin 2(input+) to 0.5V (The 0.5 came from a varibale resistor).
pin 3 (RG2) was connected to G=10 (pin 13). Ref.(pin 6) was connected to ground. Pin 7 (VS+) 9V.
pin 8 (VS-) to -9V.Pin 10 (sense) was connected to pin 9 (o/p).
Pins 4,5,11,12,14,15,16 were not connected. The output is always -4.5V.
I disconnected the RG2 from the G=10 and connected it to G=100 the o/p remained -4.95V.
I disconnected RG2 but the o/p is still -4.95V. I varied the input Voltage the o/p still th same.

I don't know were is the problem. Is it correct to keep pins 4,5,14,15,16 unconnected?
IS it correct to connect the ref pin to the ground? What do you think is the problem?

I would be very grateful if anyone can help me with it.

Regards Mostafa

Related to Amplifying dc signal using AD524

1. How does the AD524 amplify a DC signal?

The AD524 is a precision, low noise, rail-to-rail output instrumentation amplifier that uses a combination of resistors and operational amplifiers to amplify a DC signal. It has a high open-loop gain and can provide a wide range of gain values, making it suitable for amplifying small DC signals.

2. What is the input range for the AD524?

The input range for the AD524 is typically from -Vs + 0.5V to +Vs - 0.5V, where Vs is the supply voltage. However, the input range can be extended using external resistors.

3. How do I set the gain on the AD524?

The gain of the AD524 is set using two external resistors, R1 and R2, according to the formula Gain = 1 + (R2/R1). The gain can be adjusted from 1 to 1000 by selecting appropriate resistor values.

4. Can the AD524 be used for AC signals?

The AD524 is primarily designed for amplifying DC signals. However, it can be used for AC signals as well, as long as the AC signal is biased to a DC voltage within the input range of the AD524.

5. What is the power supply requirement for the AD524?

The AD524 requires a single-ended or split supply voltage of +2.2V to +36V. It also has a low quiescent current of 750µA, making it suitable for low power applications.
