The AD823A is a dual precision, 17 MHz, JFET input op amp
manufactured in the extra fast complementary bipolar (XFCB)
process. The AD823A can operate from a single supply of 3 V
to 36 V or from dual supplies of ±1.5 V to ±18 V. It has true
single-supply capability with an input voltage range extending
below ground in single-supply mode. Output voltage swing extends
to within 20 mV of each rail for IOUT ≤ 100 μA, providing
outstanding output dynamic range. It also has a linear output
current of 40 mA, 0.5 V from the supply rails.
An offset voltage of 700 μV maximum, an offset voltage drift of
1 μV/°C, and typical input bias currents of 0.3 pA provide dc
precision with source impedances up to 1 GΩ. The AD823A
provides 17 MHz, −3 dB bandwidth, and a 30 V/μs slew rate with
a low supply current of only 2.6 mA per amplifier. It also provides
low input voltage noise of 14 nV/√Hz and −108 dB SFDR at
20 kHz. The AD823A has low input capacitances (0.6 pF differential and 1.3 pF common mode) and drives more than 500 pF
of direct capacitive load as a follower. This lets the amplifier
handle a wide range of load conditions.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Figure 3. Output Swing, +VS = +3 V, G = +1
This combination of ac and dc performance, plus the outstanding
load drive capability, results in an exceptionally versatile amplifier for applications such as ADC drivers, high speed active filters,
and other low voltage, high dynamic range systems.
The AD823A is available over the industrial temperature range
of −40°C to +85°C and is offered in an 8-lead SOIC package and
an 8-lead MSOP package.

THEORY OF OPERATION
With 105 dB of open-loop gain, the output impedance is reduced
to <0.01 Ω. At higher frequencies, the output impedance rises as
the open-loop gain of the op amp drops; however, the output also
becomes capacitive due to the integrator capacitor. This
prevents the output impedance from ever becoming excessively
high (see Figure 21), which can cause stability problems when
driving capacitive loads. In fact, the AD823A has excellent
capacitive load drive capability for a high frequency op amp.
The AD823A is a dual voltage feedback amplifier with an
N-channel JFET input stage and a rail-to-rail bipolar output
stage. It is fabricated on the Analog Devices, Inc. XFCB process,
a dielectrically isolated complementary bipolar process featuring
high speed 36 V bipolar devices along with JFETs and thin film
resistors. The N-channel input stage handles signals up to 200 mV
below the negative supply while maintaining picoamp level
input currents. The rail-to-rail output maximizes the amplifier’s
output range and can provide up to 40 mA linear drive current
with output voltages within .5 V of either power rail. Lasertrimmed thin film resistors are used to optimize offset voltage
(3.5 mV max over the entire supply range) and offset voltage
drift (typical 1 uV/°C).
Figure 36 shows the results of the AD823A connected as a
follower while driving a 470 pF direct capacitive load. Under
these conditions, the phase margin is approximately 35°. For a
greater phase margin, use a low value resistor in series with the
output to decouple the effect of the load capacitance from the
op amp (see Figure 28). In addition, running the part at higher
gains also improves the capacitive load drive capability of the
op amp.
Figure 38 shows the architecture of an amplifier. Two stages are
used, with the first stage folded cascode input driving the
differential input of the second stage output. The voltage swing
at nodes S1p and S1n are kept small to minimize the generation
of nonlinear currents due to junction capacitances. This improves
distortion performance. Inputs and outputs of the amplifier are
fully protected with dedicated ESD diodes.
OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
The low frequency open-loop output impedance of the commonemitter output stage used in this design is approximately 50 kΩ.
Although this is significantly higher than a typical emitter follower
output stage, when it is connected with feedback, the open-loop
gain of the op amp reduces the output impedance.

AD823A
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
INPUT CHARACTERISTICS
In the AD823A, N-channel JFETs provide a low offset, low noise,
high impedance input stage. Minimum input common-mode
voltage extends from 0.2 V below −VS to 1.2 V < +VS. Driving
the input voltage closer to the positive rail causes a loss of
amplifier bandwidth and increased common-mode voltage error.
The AD823A does not exhibit phase reversal for input voltages
up to and including +VS. Figure 39 shows the response of an
AD823A voltage follower to a 0 V to 5 V (+VS) square wave
input. The input and output are superimposed. The output
polarity tracks the input polarity up to +VS, with no phase
reversal. The reduced bandwidth above a 4 V input causes the
rounding of the output waveform. For input voltages greater
than +VS, a resistor (RP) in series with the AD823A noninverting
input prevents phase reversal, at the expense of greater input
voltage noise. The value of RP ranges from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ. This
is illustrated in Figure 40.
5.0V
Because the input stage uses N-channel JFETs, input current
during normal operation is negative; the current flows out from the
input terminals. If the input voltage is driven more positive than
+VS − 0.7 V, the input current reverses direction as internal device
junctions become forward biased. This is illustrated in Figure 11.
A current limiting resistor should be used in series with the input
of the AD823A if the input voltage can be driven over 300 mV
more positive than +Vs or 300 mV more negative than –Vs. The
amplifier will be damaged if either condition persists for more than
10 seconds. A 1 kΩ resistor in series with the AD823A input allows
the amplifier to withstand up to 10 V of continuous overvoltage
and increases input voltage noise by a negligible amount.
The AD823A is designed for 14 nV/√Hz wideband input voltage
noise (see Figure 19). This noise performance, along with the
AD823A low input current and current noise, means that the
AD823A contributes negligible noise for applications with high
source resistances. Figure 41 shows that the source resistance
contributes to negligible noise for source impedances lower
than 10 kΩ. The low input capacitance of 0.6 pF also means that
one can use a source impedance up to 13 kΩ without cutting
into the G = +1 small signal bandwidth region.

The unique bipolar rail-to-rail output stage of the amplifier swings

The approximate output saturation resistance of the AD823A
is 33 Ω sourcing and sinking. This can be used to estimate the
output saturation voltage when driving heavier current loads.
For instance, when driving 5 mA, the saturation voltage to the
rails is approximately 165 mV.

Figure 42. Wideband Photodiode Preamp
The AD823A is an excellent choice for photodiode preamp
application. Its low input bias current minimizes the DC error
at the preamp output. In addition, its high gain bandwidth
product and low input capacitance maximizes the signal
bandwidth of the photodiode preamp. Figure 42 shows the
AD823A as a current-to-voltage (I/V) converter with an
electrical model of a photodiode.
The transimpedance gain of the photodiode preamp can be
described by the basic transfer function:
VOUT =
I PHOTO × R F
1 + sC F R F
(1)
where IPHOTO is the output current of the photodiode, and the
parallel combination of RF and CF sets the signal bandwidth (see
the I to V gain curve in Figure 43). Note that one should set RF
such that the maximum attainable output voltage corresponds
to the maximum diode current IPHOTO. This allows one to utilize
the full output swing.
The signal bandwidth that is attainable with this preamp is a
function of RF, the gain bandwidth product (fu) of the amplifier,
and the total capacitance at the amplifier summing junction,
1
2πR F C S
(2)
With the additional pole from the amplifier’s open loop
response, the two-pole system results in peaking and instability
due to an insufficient phase margin (Figure 43(A), Without
Compensation).
Adding CF creates a zero in the loop transmission that compensates
for the effect of the input pole. This stabilizes the photodiode
preamp design because of the increased phase margin. It also sets
the signal bandwidth (Figure 43(B), With Compensation). The
signal bandwidth and the zero frequency are determined by
fz =
1
2 π RF C F
(3)
Setting the zero at the frequency fx maximizes the signal
bandwidth with a 45° phase margin. Since fx is the geometric
mean of fp and fu, it can be calculated by
fx =
f p × fu
(4)
Combining Equation 2, Equation 3 and Equation 4, the value of
CF that produces fx is defined by
CF =
CS
2π × RF × f u
The frequency response in this case shows about 2 dB of
peaking and 15% overshoot. Doubling CF and cutting the
bandwidth in half results in a flat frequency response with
about 5% transient overshoot.

The dominant sources of output noise in the wideband
photodiode preamp design are the input voltage noise of the

photodiode preamp. The noise bandwidth is at the frequency fN,
and it can be calculated by

Figure 44 shows the AD823A configured as a transimpedance
photodiode amplifier. The amplifier is used in conjunction with
a photodiode detector with input capacitance of 5 pF. Figure 45
shows the transimpedance response of the AD823A when IPHOTO
is 1 µA p-p. The amplifier has a bandwidth of 2.2 MHz when it
is maximized for a 45° phase margin with CF = 1.2 pF. Note that
with the PCB parasitics added to CF, the peaking is only 0.5 dB
and the bandwidth is slightly reduced. Increasing CF to 2.7 pF
completely eliminates the peaking. However, it reduces the
bandwidth to 1.2 MHz.
Table 8 shows the noise sources and total output noise for the
photodiode preamp, where the preamplifier is configured to
have a 45° phase margin for maximal bandwidth and fz = fx = fn
in this case.

ACTIVE FILTER
The AD823A is an ideal candidate for an active filter because of
its low input bias current and its low input capacitance. Low
input bias current reduces dc error in the signal path while low
input capacitance improves the accuracy of the active filter.
Figure 47 shows the two-pole Butterworth active filter’s response.
Note that it has a maximally flat pass band, a −3 dB bandwidth
of 1 MHz, and a 12 dB/octave roll-off in the stop band.
The cutoff frequency (fc) and the Q factor of the Butterworth
filter can be calculated by:
As a general rule of thumb, the bandwidth of the amplifier should
be at least 10 times bigger than the cutoff frequency of the filter
implemented. Therefore, the AD823A is capable of implementing
active filters of up to 1.7 MHz.

Therefore, one can easily adjust the cutoff frequency by
appropriately factoring the resistor and capacitor values. For
example, a 100 kHz filter can be implemented by increasing the
values of R1 and R2 by 10 times. Note that the Q factor remains
the same in this case.

To achieve the maximum performance of the extremely high
input impedance and low offset voltage of the AD823A, care
should be taken in the circuit board layout. The PCB surface
must remain clean and free of moisture to avoid leakage currents
between adjacent traces. Surface coating of the circuit board
reduces surface moisture and provides a humidity barrier, reducing
parasitic resistance on the board. The use of guard rings around the
amplifier inputs further reduces leakage currents. Figure 48 shows
how the guard rings should be configured, and Figure 49 shows
the top view of how a surface-mount layout can be arranged. The
guard ring does not need to be a specific width, but it should form
a continuous loop around both inputs. By setting the guard ring
voltage equal to the voltage at the non-inverting input, parasitic
capacitance is minimized as well. For further reduction of leakage
currents, components can be mounted to the PCB using Teflon®
standoff insulators.
