AD202/AD204 Using Isolated Power.
Both the AD202 and the AD204 provide
Operation at Reduced Signal Swing.
Although the nominal ±7.5 V power outputs referenced to input common. These may be output signal swing for the AD202 and AD204 is ± 5 V, there used to power various accessory circuits that must operate at may be cases where a smaller signal range is desirable. When the input common-mode level; the input zero adjustment pots that is done, the fixed errors (principally offset terms and output described above are an example, and several other possible uses noise) become a larger fraction of the signal, but nonlinearity is are shown in the section titled Application Examples. reduced. This is shown in Figure 15. The isolated power output of the AD202 (400 mA total from

either or both outputs) is much more limited in current capacity than that of the AD204, but it is sufficient for operating micro- power op amps, low power references (such as the AD589),

can handle loads on its isolated supply outputs of 2 mA for each supply terminal (+7.5 V and –7.5 V) or 3 mA for a single loaded output. Whenever the external load on either supply is more

than about 200 mA, a 1 mF tantalum capacitor should be used to bypass each loaded supply pin to input common.

Up to 32 AD204s can be driven from a single AD246 (or equi- valent) clock driver when the isolated power outputs of the AD204s are loaded with less than 200 mA each, at a worst-case
