## Overview of AD8063ARTZ-R2 The **AD8063ARTZ-R2** is a high-performance, rail-to-rail output voltage feedback amplifier developed by Analog Devices. It belongs to the FastFET™ family, which utilizes a proprietary XFCB (Extra Fast Complementary Bipolar) process to achieve high speed and low noise using a FET input stage. --- ### Technical Specifications The following table summarizes the key electrical characteristics of the AD8063ARTZ-R2: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Bandwidth (-3 dB)** | 300 MHz | | **Slew Rate** | 650 V/µs | | **Input Bias Current** | 1.0 pA (Typical) | | **Supply Voltage Range** | 2.7 V to 8.0 V | | **Output Stage** | Rail-to-Rail | | **Quiescent Current** | 6.8 mA per amplifier | | **Package Type** | SOT-23-6 | | **Voltage Noise** | 7 nV/√Hz | --- ### Key Features and Benefits 1. **High Input Impedance:** Because it uses a FET (Field-Effect Transistor) input, the device has extremely low input bias current (pA range). This makes it ideal for applications involving high-impedance sensors or photodiodes. 2. **High Speed:** With a 300 MHz bandwidth and a very high slew rate (650 V/µs), it can handle fast-changing signals without significant distortion. 3. **Rail-to-Rail Output:** The output can swing very close to the supply rails, maximizing dynamic range, especially in low-voltage (3V or 5V) systems. 4. **Low Noise and Distortion:** It provides clean signal amplification, essential for high-precision ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) driving. 5. **Disable Function:** The "ARTZ" variant in the SOT-23-6 package includes a power-down/disable pin to reduce power consumption when the amplifier is not in use. --- ### Common Applications The AD8063 is versatile and commonly found in: * **Photodiode Pre-amps:** Converting light-induced current into voltage. * **ADC Drivers:** Buffering signals before they enter high-speed converters. * **Active Filters:** Designing high-frequency filters with minimal signal loss. * **Video Electronics:** High-speed buffering for video signals. * **Professional Cameras:** Image sensor processing chains. --- ### Package and Part Number Breakdown * **AD8063**: The base model number. * **ARTZ**: Indicates the SOT-23-6 package type and Lead-Free (RoHS) status. * **R2**: Refers to the "Reel" size; R2 typically denotes a small 7-inch reel containing 250 units (used for prototyping or small production runs). ---
