GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD824 is a quad, FET input, single supply amplifier, fea-

turing rail-to-rail outputs. The combination of FET inputs and

rail-to-rail outputs makes the AD824 useful in a wide variety of

low voltage applications where low input current is a primary

consideration.

The AD824 is guaranteed to operate from a 3 V single supply

up to

±15 volt dual supplies.

Fabricated on ADI’s complementary bipolar process, the AD824

has a unique input stage that allows the input voltage to safely

extend beyond the negative supply and to the positive supply

without any phase inversion or latchup. The output voltage

swings to within 15 millivolts of the supplies. Capacitive loads

to 350 pF can be handled without oscillation.

The FET input combined with laser trimming provides an input

that has extremely low bias currents with guaranteed offsets be-

low 300

µV. This enables high accuracy designs even with high

source impedances. Precision is combined with low noise,

making the AD824 ideal for use in battery powered medical

equipment.

AD824

Applications for the AD824 include portable medical equipment,

photo diode preamplifiers and high impedance transducer

amplifiers.

The ability of the output to swing rail-to-rail enables designers

to build multistage filters in single supply systems and maintain

high signal-to-noise ratios.

The AD824 is specified over the extended industrial (–40

°C to

+85

°C) temperature range and is available in 14-pin DIP and

narrow 14-pin and 16-pin SO packages.
