The AD824 is a quad, FET input, single supply amplifier, featuring 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 FET input combined with laser trimming provides an input
that has extremely low bias currents with guaranteed offsets
below 1 mV. 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.
The AD824 is guaranteed to operate from a 3 V single supply
up to ± 15 V dual supplies. AD824AR-3V Parametric Performance at 3 V is fully guaranteed.
Applications for the AD824 include portable medical equipment,
photo diode preamplifiers and high impedance transducer
amplifiers.
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 mV of the supplies. Capacitive loads to
350 pF can be handled without oscillation.
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.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD824 is specified over the extended industrial (–40∞C to
+85∞C) temperature range and is available in narrow 14-lead
and 16-lead SOIC packages.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although
the AD824 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are
recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

APPLICATION NOTES
INPUT CHARACTERISTICS
In the AD824, n-channel JFETs are used to provide a low
offset, low noise, high impedance input stage. Minimum input
common-mode voltage extends from 0.2 V below –VS to 1 V less
than +VS. Driving the input voltage closer to the positive rail will
cause a loss of amplifier bandwidth.
The AD824 does not exhibit phase reversal for input voltages
up to and including +VS. Figure 2a shows the response of an
AD824 voltage follower to a 0 V to 5 V (+VS) square wave input.
The input and output are superimposed. The output tracks the
input up to +VS without phase reversal. The reduced bandwidth
above a 4 V input causes the rounding of the output wave form.
For input voltages greater than +VS, a resistor in series with
the AD824’s noninverting input will prevent phase reversal at
the expense of greater input voltage noise. This is illustrated in
Figure 2b.

The AD824’s unique bipolar rail-to-rail output stage swings
within 15 mV of the positive and negative supply voltages. The
AD824’s approximate output saturation resistance is 100 W for
both sourcing and sinking. This can be used to estimate output
saturation voltage when driving heavier current loads. For
instance, the saturation voltage will be 0.5 V from either supply
with a 5 mA current load.
Direct capacitive loads will interact with the amplifier’s effective
output impedance to form an additional pole in the amplifier’s
feedback loop, which can cause excessive peaking on the pulse
response or loss of stability. Worst case is when the amplifier is
used as a unity gain follower. TPC 4 and 6 show the AD824’s
pulse response as a unity gain follower driving 220 pF. Configurations with less loop gain, and as a result less loop bandwidth,
will be much less sensitive to capacitance load effects. Noise
gain is the inverse of the feedback attenuation factor provided
by the feedback network in use.

OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
If the AD824’s output is overdriven so as to saturate either of
the output devices, the amplifier will recover within 2 ms of its
input returning to the amplifier’s linear operating region.
1V
+VS
Input voltages less than –VS are a completely different story.
The amplifier can safely withstand input voltages 20 V below
the minus supply voltage as long as the total voltage from the
positive supply to the input terminal is less than 36 V. In addition,
the input stage typically maintains picoamp level input currents
across that input voltage range.
For load resistances over 20 kW, the AD824’s input error
voltage is virtually unchanged until the output voltage is driven
to 180 mV of either supply.
10
GND
A current-limiting resistor should be used in series with the
input of the AD824 if there is a possibility of the input voltage
exceeding the positive supply by more than 300 mV or if an
input voltage will be applied to the AD824 when ± VS = 0. The
amplifier will be damaged if left in that condition for more than
10 seconds. A 1 kW resistor allows the amplifier to withstand up
to 10 V of continuous overvoltage and increases the input voltage noise by a negligible amount.

Since the input stage uses n-channel JFETs, input current
during normal operation is positive; the current flows out from
the input terminals. If the input voltage is driven more positive
than +VS – 0.4 V, the input current will reverse direction as
internal device junctions become forward biased. This is
illustrated in TPC 8.

The circuit shown in Figure 4 uses the AD824 to drive a low
power timer, which produces a stable pulse of width t1. The
positive going output pulse is integrated by R1-C1 and used as
one input to the AD824, which is connected as a differential
integrator. The other input (nonloading) is the unknown voltage,
VIN. The AD824 output drives the timer trigger input, closing
the overall feedback loop.

3 Volt, Single Supply Stereo Headphone Driver
The AD824 exhibits good current drive and THD+N performance, even at 3 V single supplies. At 1 kHz, total harmonic
distortion plus noise (THD+N) equals –62 dB (0.079%) for a
300 mV p-p output signal. This is comparable to other single
supply op amps that consume more power and cannot run on 3 V
power supplies.
In Figure 6, each channel’s input signal is coupled via a 1 mF
Mylar capacitor. Resistor dividers set the dc voltage at the
noninverting inputs so that the output voltage is midway between
the power supplies (1.5 V). The gain is 1.5. Each half of the
AD824 can then be used to drive a headphone channel. A 5 Hz
high-pass filter is realized by the 500 mF capacitors and the
headphones, which can be modeled as 32 ohm load resistors to
ground. This ensures that all signals in the audio frequency
range (20 Hz–20 kHz) are delivered to the headphones.

A 3.3 V/5 V Precision Sample-and-Hold Amplifier
In battery-powered applications, low supply voltage operational
amplifiers are required for low power consumption. Also, low
supply voltage applications limit the signal range in precision
analog circuitry. Circuits like the sample-and-hold circuit shown
in Figure 8, illustrate techniques for designing precision analog
circuitry in low supply voltage applications. To maintain high
signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) in a low supply voltage application
requires the use of rail-to-rail, input/output operational amplifiers. This design highlights the ability of the AD824 to operate
rail-to-rail from a single 3 V/5 V supply, with the advantages of
high input impedance. The AD824, a quad JFET-input op amp,
is well suited to S/H circuits due to its low input bias currents
(3 pA, typical) and high input impedances (3 ¥ 1013 W, typical).
The AD824 also exhibits very low supply currents so the total
supply current in this circuit is less than 2.5 mA.

In many single supply applications, the use of a false ground
generator is required. In this circuit, R1 and R2 divide the
supply voltage symmetrically, creating the false ground voltage
at one-half the supply. Amplifier A1 then buffers this voltage
creating a low impedance output drive. The S/H circuit is configured in an inverting topology centered around this false
ground level.

A design consideration in sample-and-hold circuits is voltage
droop at the output caused by op amp bias and switch leakage
currents. By choosing a JFET op amp and a low leakage CMOS
switch, this design minimizes droop rate error to better than
0.1 mV/ms in this circuit. Higher values of CH will yield a lower
droop rate. For best performance, CH and C2 should be polystyrene, polypropylene or Teflon capacitors. These types of
capacitors exhibit low leakage and low dielectric absorption. Additionally, 1% metal film resistors were used throughout the design.
In the sample mode, SW1 and SW4 are closed, and the output
is VOUT = –VIN. The purpose of SW4, which operates in parallel
with SW1, is to reduce the pedestal, or hold step, error by
injecting the same amount of charge into the noninverting input
of A3 that SW1 injects into the inverting input of A3. This
creates a common-mode voltage across the inputs of A3 and is
then rejected by the CMR of A3; otherwise, the charge injection
from SW1 would create a differential voltage step error that
would appear at VOUT. The pedestal error for this circuit is
less than 2 mV over the entire 0 V to 3.3 V/5 V signal range.
Another method of reducing pedestal error is to reduce the pulse
amplitude applied to the control pins. In order to control the
ADG513, only 2.4 V are required for the “ON” state and
0.8 V for the “OFF” state. If possible, use an input control
signal whose amplitude ranges from 0.8 V to 2.4 V instead of a
full range 0 V to 3.3 V/5 V for minimum pedestal error.
Other circuit features include an acquisition time of less than
3 ms to 1%; reducing CH and C2 will speed up the acquisition
time further, but an increased pedestal error will result. Settling
time is less than 300 ns to 1%, and the sample-mode signal BW
is 80 kHz.
The ADG513 was chosen for its ability to work with 3 V/5 V
supplies and for having normallyopen and normallyclosed precision CMOS switches on a dielectrically isolated process. SW2 is
not required in this circuit; however, it was used in parallel with
SW3 to provide a lower RON analog switch.
