1. Substitution Conclusion for AD621BRZ-RL
The AD621BRZ-RL cannot serve as a direct replacement for the ISL28177FBZ-T7. The fundamental obstacle is the difference in amplifier type: the ISL28177 is a general-purpose operational amplifier, whereas the AD621 is an instrumentation amplifier. Their internal structures, external circuitry, and application methods are entirely different. Instrumentation amplifiers incorporate precision-matched resistor networks for differential signal amplification, making pin-to-pin replacement impossible.
Although the AD621BRZ offers advantages in certain parameters—such as lower input offset voltage (50µV vs. 150µV), higher slew rate (1.2V/µs vs. 0.2V/µs), and greater bandwidth (800kHz vs. 600kHz)—along with excellent common-mode rejection ratio (typically >100dB), making it superior for amplifying weak differential signals and rejecting common-mode interference, it has limitations. Its lower output current (18mA vs. 30mA) results in weaker drive capability for heavy loads, and its supply voltage range (4.6V to 36V) is slightly narrower than that of the original part (6V to 40V).
Substitution would only be feasible if the entire amplification circuit module were redesigned around an instrumentation amplifier architecture.
2. Substitution Conclusion for AD621ARZ-RL
Similarly, the AD621ARZ-RL cannot be used as a direct replacement for the ISL28177FBZ-T7. The reason is identical to that stated above: the core device types are mismatched (instrumentation amplifier vs. general-purpose op-amp), and their circuit architectures are not interchangeable.
Compared to the "BRZ" version, the "ARZ" version primarily differs in its slightly higher input offset voltage (75µV vs. 50µV). In applications demanding extremely high DC precision, this leads to somewhat greater initial error, though it remains significantly better than the original part's 150µV. Other key performance characteristics—such as high common-mode rejection, high bandwidth and slew rate, limited output current, and the slightly narrower supply range—are consistent with the BRZ version.
Unless the system design permits and requires a switch to an instrumentation amplifier architecture, substitution is not viable.
