The uncom- RGAD2102 mitted input amplifier can be used to supply gain or buff- 18 ering of input signals to the AD210. The fullwave 14+V modulator translates the signal to the carrier frequency for ISS+VOSS3 application to transformer T1. The synchronous demodu- 15–VISS–V4 lator in the output port reconstructs the input signal. A OSS3029 20 kHz, three-pole filter is employed to minimize output noise and ripple. Finally, an output buffer provides a low +15V impedance output capable of driving a 2 kΩ load. Figure 3.

Offset adjustments are best done at the input side, as it is better to null the offset ahead of the gain. 171VOUT19VOUT Figure 5 shows the input adjustment circuit for use when the in- VSIG( ± 10V) ± AD210 put amplifier is configured in the noninverting mode.
