The amplifiers used to provide pin programmable output ranges, noninverting input (Pin 9) senses the system ground, which is and associated thin-film resistors, as shown in Figure 3. The transferred to the point on the circuit where the inverting input temperature compensation circuitry provides the device with a (Pin 10) is connected. This can be Pin 6, Pin 8, or Pin 11. The temperature coefficient of 1.5 ppm/°C or less. output of A2 drives Pin 8 to the appropriate voltage. Thus, if Pin 10 is connected to Pin 8, the VLOW pin is the same voltage as Amplifier A1 performs several functions. A1 primarily acts to the system ground. Alternatively, if Pin 10 is connected to the amplify the Zener voltage from 6.5 V to the required 10 V output. VCT pin, it is a ground; and Pin 6 and Pin 8 are +5 V and −5 V, In addition, A1 provides for external adjustment of the 10 V output respectively. through Pin 5, GAIN ADJ. Using the bias compensation resistor between the Zener output and the noninverting input to A1, a Amplifier A3 and Amplifier A4 are internally compensated and capacitor can be added at the NOISE REDUCTION pin (Pin 7) are used to buffer the voltages at Pin 6, Pin 8, and Pin 11, as well to form a low-pass filter and reduce the noise contribution of the as to provide a full Kelvin output. Thus, the AD588 has a full Zener to the circuit. Two matched 10 kΩ nominal thin-film Kelvin capability by providing the means to sense a system resistors (R4 and R5) divide the 10 V output in half. Pin VCT ground and provide forced and sensed outputs referenced to (Pin 11) provides access to the center of the voltage span and that ground. BAL ADJ (Pin 12) can be used for fine adjustment of this division. Note that both positive and negative supplies are required for operation of the AD588.
