GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8506/AD8508 are dual and quad micropower amplifiers
featuring rail-to-rail input and output swings while operating from
a 1.8 V to 5 V single or from ±0.9 V to ±2.5 V dual power supply.
Using a novel circuit technology, these low cost amplifiers offer
zero crossover distortion (excellent PSRR and CMRR performance) and very low bias current, while operating with a supply
current of less than 20 μA per amplifier. This amplifier family
offers the lowest noise in its power class.
This combination of features makes the AD8506/AD8508
amplifiers ideal choices for battery-powered applications
because they minimize errors due to power supply voltage
variations over the lifetime of the battery and maintain high
CMRR even for a rail-to-rail input op amp.
Remote battery-powered sensors, handheld instrumentation
and consumer equipment, hazard detection (for example, smoke,
fire, and gas), and patient monitors can benefit from the features
of the AD8506/AD8508 amplifiers.
The AD8506/AD8508 are specified for both the industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C and the extended industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. The AD8506 dual amplifiers are available in an 8-lead MSOP package. The AD8508 quad
amplifiers are available in the 14-lead TSSOP package.

AD8506/AD8508
THEORY OF OPERATION
VDD
The AD8506/AD8508 are unity-gain stable CMOS rail-to-rail
input/output operational amplifiers designed to optimize
performance in current consumption, PSRR, CMRR, and zero
crossover distortion, all embedded in a small package. The
typical offset voltage is 500 μV, with a low peak-to-peak voltage
noise of 2.8 μV p-p from 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz and a voltage noise
density of 45 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz.
VBIAS
VIN+
The AD8506/AD8508 are designed to solve two key problems
in low voltage battery-powered applications: battery voltage
decrease over time and rail-to-rail input stage distortion.
One differential pair amplifies the input signal when the commonmode voltage is on the high end, whereas the other pair amplifies
the input signal when the common-mode voltage is on the low
end. This method also requires a control circuitry to operate the
two differential pairs appropriately. Unfortunately, this topology
leads to a very noticeable and undesirable problem: if the signal
level moves through the range where one input stage turns off
and the other one turns on, noticeable distortion occurs (see
Figure 42).

The second problem with battery-powered applications is the
distortion caused by the standard rail-to-rail input stage. Using
a CMOS non-rail-to-rail input stage (that is, a single differential
pair) limits the input voltage to approximately one VGS (gatesource voltage) away from one of the supply lines. Because VGS
for normal operation is commonly over 1 V, a single differential
pair input stage op amp greatly restricts the allowable input
voltage range when using a low supply voltage. This limitation
restricts the number of applications where the non-rail-to-rail
input op amp was originally intended to be used. To solve this
problem, a dual differential pair input stage is usually implemented
(see Figure 41); however, this technique has its own drawbacks.
Q1
IB
VOS (µV)
In battery-powered applications, the supply voltage available to
the IC is the voltage of the battery. Unfortunately, the voltage of
a battery decreases as it discharges itself through the load. This
voltage drop over the lifetime of the battery causes an error in
the output of the op amps. Some applications requiring precision
measurements during the entire lifetime of the battery use voltage
regulators to power up the op amps as a solution. If a design
uses standard battery cells, the op amps experience a supply
voltage change from roughly 3.2 V to 1.8 V during the lifetime
of the battery. This means that for a PSRR of 70 dB minimum in
a typical op amp, the input-referred offset error is approximately
440 μV. If the same application uses the AD8506/AD8508 with
a 100 dB minimum PSRR, the error is only 14 μV. It is possible
to calibrate out this error or to use an external voltage regulator
to power the op amp, but these solutions can increase system
cost and complexity. The AD8506/AD8508 solve the impasse
with no additional cost or error-nullifying circuitry.
Q3
Figure 42. Typical Input Offset Voltage vs. Common-Mode Voltage
Response in a Dual Differential Pair Input Stage Op Amp (Powered by 5 V
Supply; Results of Approximately 100 Units per Graph Are Displayed)
This distortion forces the designer to come up with impractical
ways to avoid the crossover distortion areas, therefore narrowing
the common-mode dynamic range of the operational amplifier.
The AD8506/AD8508 solve this crossover distortion problem
by using an on-chip charge pump to power the input differential
pair. The charge pump creates a supply voltage higher than the
voltage of the battery, allowing the input stage to handle a wide
range of input signal voltages without using a second differential
pair. With this solution, the input voltage can vary from one
supply extreme to the other with no distortion, thereby restoring
the op amp full common-mode dynamic range.
Rev. A | Page 13 of 20
AD8506/AD8508
The charge pump has been carefully designed so that switching
noise components at any frequency, both within and beyond the
amplifier bandwidth, are much lower than the thermal noise floor.
Therefore, the spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is limited
only by the input signal and the thermal or flicker noise. There
is no intermodulation between input signal and switching noise.
Figure 44, input offset voltage vs. input common-mode voltage
response, shows the typical response of 12 devices from Figure 8.
Figure 44 has been expanded so that it is easier to compare with
Figure 42, typical input offset voltage vs. common-mode voltage
response in a dual differential pair input stage op amp.

This solution improves the CMRR performance tremendously.
For instance, if the input varies from rail-to-rail on a 2.5 V
supply rail, using a part with a CMRR of 70 dB minimum, an
input-referred error of 790 μV is introduced. Another part with
a CMRR of 52 dB minimum generates a 6.3 mV error. The
AD8506/AD8508 CMRR of 90 dB minimum causes only a 79 μV
error. As with the PSRR error, there are complex ways to minimize
this error, but the AD8506/AD8508 solve this problem without
incurring unnecessary circuitry complexity or increased cost.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
A pulse oximeter is a noninvasive medical device used for measuring continuously the percentage of hemoglobin (Hb) saturated
with oxygen and the pulse rate of a patient. Hemoglobin that is
carrying oxygen (oxyhemoglobin) absorbs light in the infrared
(IR) region of the spectrum; hemoglobin that is not carrying
oxygen (deoxyhemoglobin) absorbs visible red (R) light. In pulse
oximetry, a clip containing two LEDs (sometimes more, depending
on the complexity of the measurement algorithm) and the light
sensor (photodiode) is placed on the finger or earlobe of the
patient. One LED emits red light (600 nm to 700 nm) and the
other emits light in the near IR (800 nm to 900 nm) region. The
clip is connected by a cable to a processor unit. The LEDs are
rapidly and sequentially excited by two current sources (one for
each LED), whose dc levels depend on the LED being driven,
based on manufacturer requirements, and the detector is synchronized to capture the light from each LED as it is transmitted
through the tissue.
design need to be improved, then a more accurate and low
temperature coefficient drift voltage reference and current
source resistor should be utilized. C3 and C4 are used to
improve stabilization of U1; R3 and R7 are used to provide
some current limit into the U1 inverting pin; and R2 and R6 are
used to slow down the rise time of the N-MOSFET when it
turns on. These elements may not be needed, or some bench
adjustments may be required.

62.5mA
An example design of a dc current source driving the red and
infrared LEDs is shown in Figure 45. These dc current sources
allow 62.5 mA and 101 mA to flow through the red and infrared
LEDs, respectively. First, to prolong battery life, the LEDs are
driven only when needed. One-third of the ADG733 SPDT
analog switch is used to disconnect/connect the 1.25 V voltage
reference from/to each current circuit. When driving the LEDs,
the ADR1581 1.25 V voltage reference is buffered by ½ of the
AD8506; the presence of this voltage on the noninverting input
forces the output of the op amp (due to the negative feedback)
to maintain a level that makes its inverting input-to-track the
noninverting pin. Therefore, the 1.25 V appears in parallel with
the 20 Ω R1 or 12.4 Ω R5 current source resistor, creating the
flow of the 62.5 mA or 101 mA current through the red or
infrared LED as the output of the op amp turns on the Q1 or Q2
N-MOSFET IRLMS2002.
The maximum total quiescent currents for the ½ AD8506,
ADR1581, and ADG733 are 25 μA, 70 μA, and 1 μA, respectively,
making a total of 96 μA current consumption (480 μW power
consumption) per circuit, which is good for a system powered
by a battery. If the accuracy and temperature drift of the total

excellent choice because it provides 1 pA typical and 10 pA
maximum of input bias current at ambient temperature.
FOUR-POLE LOW-PASS BUTTERWORTH FILTER
FOR GLUCOSE MONITOR
There are several methods of glucose monitoring: spectroscopic
absorption of infrared light in the 2 μm to 2.5 μm range, reflectance spectrophotometry, and the amperometric type using
electrochemical strips with glucose oxidase enzymes. The
amperometric type generally uses three electrodes: a reference
electrode, a control electrode, and a working electrode. Although
this is a very old technique and widely used, signal-to-noise
ratio and repeatability can be improved using the AD8506 with
its low peak-to-peak voltage noise of 2.8 μV p-p from 0.1 Hz to
10 Hz and voltage noise density of 45 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz.
A low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 80 Hz to 100 Hz is
desirable in a glucose meter device to remove extraneous noise;
this can be a simple two- or four-pole Butterworth. Low power
op amps with bandwidths of 50 kHz to 500 kHz should be
adequate. The AD8506 with its 95 kHz GBP and 15 μA typical
of current consumption meets these requirements. A circuit
design of a four-pole Butterworth filter (preceded by a one-pole
low-pass filter) is shown in Figure 46. With a 3.3 V battery, the
total power consumption of this design is 297 μW typical at
ambient temperature.
Another consideration is operation from a 3.3 V battery. Glucose
signal currents are usually less than 3 μA full scale, so the I-to-V
