About this manual

The AD8556 is a zero‑drift sensor signal amplifier that offers digitally programmable gain (70‑1280) and output offset. It includes internal EMI filters on the VNEG, VPOS, FILT and VCLAMP pins, and provides open‑wire and shorted‑wire fault detection via pull‑up and pull‑down current sources. The device is designed for automotive, pressure, position, current‑sensing and strain‑gage applications.

The part operates from a single 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply, is specified from –40 °C to +140 °C, and is available in 8‑lead SOIC_N and 16‑lead LFCSP_VQ packages. Detailed electrical specifications, dynamic performance data, absolute maximum ratings and pin‑function descriptions are provided in the document.
