FEATURES 
Two AD8222 circuits 
Dual channel  
Differential out  
Easy to connect screw terminals 
Decoupled supply lines 
Pads for RFI filtering 
 
GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
The AD8222-EVALZ has two AD8222 instrumentation 
amplifier circuits: one circuit is configured for dual-channel 
operation, while the other is configured for single-channel, 
differential output operation. Inputs, outputs, references, and 
the supplies are routed to screw terminals for easy connectivity. 
The PCB board has four layers. The top and bottom layers are 
used for routing, and the two internal layers are ground planes. 
The ground plane was removed underneath the R
G
 resistors. 
This is a precaution against any capacitance mismatch at the 
two R
G
 pins, which may affect ac CMRR. 
JUMPER SETTINGS 
Table 1.  
Jumpers Purpose 
Default 
J1A, J1B, J11 
Connect inputs together 
Unconnected 
J2A, J2B, J12, J13 
Connect reference pins to 
ground 
Connected 
In the default factory setting, the reference pins of the AD8222 
are connected to GND through J2A, J2B, J12, and J13. 
Therefore, in the shipping configuration, W2A:REF1, 
W2B:REF2, W13:REF2, and W13:+IN2 are connected to GND. 
To disconnect the terminal from GND, remove the 
corresponding jumper. 
QUICK START 
The quick start feature assumes that the jumpers are in their 
factory default positions. 
To begin: 
•  Connect ground lead to GND.  
•  Connect a 15 V supply to +V
S
.  
•  Connect a −15 V supply to −Vs.  
•  Ground −IN1.  
•  Connect a 1V p-p, 1 kHz source signal to +IN1. A replica of 
the signal should now appear at OUT1.

SETTING THE GAIN 
The gain setting resistors are R1A and R1B for the dual-channel 
part and R11A for the differential output part. The pads are 
sized for 0603-sized resistors, although 0402 and 0805 sizes can 
also be used. 
EMI FILTERING 
The board comes with 0603 component pads for an EMI filter. 
These components are shown in Table 2
Table 2.  
Channel Components 
Dual Channel A 
R3A, R2A, C1A, C2A, C3A 
Dual Channel B 
R3B, R2B, C1B, C2B, C3B 
Differential Output Channel 
R13, R12, C11, C12, C13 
The board, as shipped, does not contain EMI filtering. The 
resistors pads are populated with 0 Ω resistors, and the 
capacitors are not populated. 
See the 
 data sheet for more information on EMI 
filtering.
