Pressure measurement Medical instrumentation Portable data acquisition Multichannel systems GENERAL DESCRIPTION Single-supply operation, micropower current consumption, and The AD8420 is a low cost, micropower, wide supply range, rail-to-rail output swing make the AD8420 ideal for battery- instrumentation amplifier with a rail-to-rail output and a novel powered applications. Its rail-to-rail output stage maximizes architecture that allows for extremely flexible design. It is optimized dynamic range when operating from low supply voltages. Dual- to amplify small differential voltages in the presence of large supply operation (±15 V) and low power consumption make common-mode signals. the AD8420 ideal for a wide variety of applications in medical The AD8420 is based on an indirect current feedback architecture or industrial instrumentation. that gives it an excellent input common-mode range. Unlike The AD8420 is available in an 8-lead MSOP package. Performance conventional instrumentation amplifiers, the AD8420 can easily is specified over the full temperature range of −40°C to +85°C, amplify signals at or even slightly below ground without requiring and the part is operational from −40°C to +125°C. dual supplies. The AD8420 has rail-to-rail output, and the output voltage swing is completely independent of the input common- mode voltage.

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER
Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.
Applied Materials
CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS
Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

GO TO SOURCE
When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
