PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
500mV
The AD823 is a dual precision, 16 MHz, JFET input op amp
that can operate from a single supply of +3.0 V to +36 V, or
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
50 mV of each rail for IOUT ≤ 100 µA providing outstanding output dynamic range.
This combination of ac and dc performance, plus the outstanding load drive capability results in an exceptionally versatile amplifier for applications such as A/D drivers, high-speed active
filters, and other low voltage, high dynamic range systems.

OUTPUT – dB
Offset voltage of 800 µV max, offset voltage drift of 2 µV/°C,
input bias currents below 25 pA and low input voltage noise
provide dc precision with source impedances up to a Gigohm.
16 MHz, –3 dB bandwidth, –108 dB THD @ 20 kHz and
22 V/µs slew rate are provided with a low supply current of
2.6 mA per amplifier. The AD823 drives up to 500 pF of direct
capacitive load as a follower, and provides an output current of
15 mA, 0.5 V from the supply rails. This allows the amplifier to
handle a wide range of load conditions.

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 AD823 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.

THEORY OF OPERATION
This AD823 is fabricated on Analog Devices’ proprietary
complementary bipolar (CB) process that enables the construction of pnp and npn transistors with similar fTs in the 600 MHz
to 800 MHz region. In addition, the process also features
N-channel JFETs, which are used in the input stage of the AD823.
These process features allow the construction of high frequency,
low distortion op amps with picoampere input currents. This
design uses a differential-output input stage to maximize bandwidth and headroom (see Figure 35). The smaller signal swings
required on the S1P, S1N outputs reduce the effect of nonlinear
currents due to junction capacitances and improve the distortion
performance. With this design harmonic distortion of better
than –91 dB @ 20 kHz into 600 Ω with VOUT = 4 V p-p on a
single 5 volt supply is achieved. The complementary commonemitter design of the output stage provides excellent load drive
without the need for emitter followers, thereby improving the
output range of the device considerably with respect to conventional op amps. The AD823 can drive 20 mA with the outputs
within 0.6 V of the supply rails. The AD823 also offers outstanding precision for a high speed op amp. Input offset voltages
A “Nested Integrator” topology is used in the AD823 (see smallsignal schematic shown in Figure 36). The output stage can be
modeled as an ideal op amp with a single-pole response and a
unity-gain frequency set by transconductance gm2 and capacitor
C2. R1 is the output resistance of the input stage; gm is the input transconductance. C1 and C5 provide Miller compensation
for the overall op amp. The unity gain frequency will occur at
gm/C5. Solving the node equations for this circuit yields:

The first pole in the denominator is the dominant pole of the
amplifier, and occurs at about 18 Hz. This equals the input
stage output impedance R1 multiplied by the Miller-multiplied
value of C1. The second pole occurs at the unity-gain bandwidth of the output stage, which is 23 MHz. This type of architecture allows more open loop gain and output drive to be
obtained than a standard two-stage architecture would allow.
APPLICATION NOTES
INPUT CHARACTERISTICS
OUTPUT IMPEDANCE
The AD823 does not exhibit phase reversal for input voltages
up to and including +VS. Figure 37a shows the response of an
AD823 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—no 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 AD823’s plus input will prevent phase
reversal, at the expense of greater input voltage noise. This is illustrated in Figure 37b.
In the AD823, 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 and increased
common-mode voltage error.
The low frequency open loop output impedance of the
common-emitter output stage used in this design is approximately 30 kΩ. While this is significantly higher than a typical
emitter follower output stage, when connected with feedback
the output impedance is reduced by the open loop gain of the
op amp. With 109 dB of open loop gain the output impedance
is reduced to less than 0.2 Ω. At higher frequencies the output
impedance will rise as the open loop gain of the op amp drops;
however, the output also becomes capacitive due to the integrator capacitors C1 and C2. This prevents the output impedance
from ever becoming excessively high (see Figure 17), which can
cause stability problems when driving capacitive loads. In fact,
the AD823 has excellent cap-load drive capability for a high frequency op amp. Figure 33 shows the AD823 connected as a follower while driving 470 pF direct capacitive load. Under these
conditions the phase margin is approximately 20°. If greater
phase margin is desired a small resistor can be used in series
with the output to decouple the effect of the load capacitance
from the op amp (see Figure 25). In addition, running the part
at higher gains will also improve the capacitive load drive capability of the op amp.

AD823
Figure 38 shows a schematic of an AD823 being used to drive
both the input and reference input of an AD1672, a 12-bit
3 MSPS single supply A/D converter. One amplifier is configured as a unity gain follower to drive the analog input of the
AD1672 which is configured to accept an input voltage that
ranges from 0 to 2.5 V.
Since 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 – 0.4 V, the input current will reverse direction as internal
device junctions become forward biased. This is illustrated in
Figure 6.
A current limiting resistor should be used in series with the input of the AD823 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 AD823 when ± VS = 0. The amplifier will be damaged if left in that condition for more than 10
seconds. A 1 kΩ resistor allows the amplifier to withstand up to
10 volts of continuous overvoltage, and increases the input voltage noise by a negligible amount.

The AD823 is designed for 16 nV/√Hz wideband input voltage
noise and maintains low noise performance to low frequencies
(refer to Figure 15). This noise performance, along with the
AD823’s low input current and current noise means that the
AD823 contributes negligible noise for applications with source
resistances greater than 10 kΩ and signal bandwidths greater

Input voltages less than –VS are a completely different story.
The amplifier can safely withstand input voltages 20 volts below
the minus supply voltage as long as the total voltage from the
positive supply to the input terminal is less than 36 volts. In
addition, the input stage typically maintains picoamp level input
currents across that input voltage range.

Figure 38. AD823 Driving Input and Reference of the
AD1672, a 12-Bit 3 MSPS A/D Converter
OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
The AD823’s unique bipolar rail-to-rail output stage swings
within 25 mV of the supplies with no external resistive load. The
AD823’s approximate output saturation resistance is 25 Ω
sourcing and sinking. This can be used to estimate output saturation voltage when driving heavier current loads. For instance,
when driving 5 mA, the saturation voltage to the rails will be approximately 125 mV.
If the AD823’s output is driven hard against the output saturation voltage, it will recover within 250 ns of the input returning
to the amplifier’s linear operating region.
A/D Driver
The rail-to-rail output of the AD823 makes it useful as an A/D
driver in a single supply system. Because it is a dual op amp, it
can be used to drive both the analog input of the A/D along with
its reference input. The high impedance FET input of the
AD823 is well suited for minimally loading of high output impedance devices.

The other amplifier is configured as a gain of two to drive the
reference input from a 1.25 V reference. Although the AD1672
has its own internal reference, there are systems that require
greater accuracy than the internal reference provides. On the
other hand, if the AD1672 internal reference is used, the second
AD823 amplifier can be used to buffer the reference voltage for
driving other circuitry while minimally loading the reference
source.
The circuit was tested with a 500 kHz sine wave input that was
heavily low pass filtered (60 dB) to minimize the harmonic content at the input to the AD823. The digital output of the
AD1672 was analyzed by performing an FFT.
During the testing, it was observed that at 500 kHz, the output
of the AD823 cannot go below about 350 mV (operating with
negative supply at ground) without seriously degrading the second harmonic distortion. Another test was performed with a
200 Ω pull-down resistor to ground that allowed the output to
go as low as 200 mV without seriously affecting the second harmonic distortion. There was, however, a slight increase in the
third harmonic term with the resistor added, but it was still less
than the second harmonic.

Figure 39 is an FFT plot of the results of driving the AD1672
with the AD823 with no pull-down resistor. The input amplitude was 2.15 V p-p and the lower voltage excursion was

to spread the location of the harmonics.

The distortion analysis is important for systems requiring good

good time domain performance. The noise and settling time
performance of the AD823 will provide the necessary information for its applicability for these systems.

Second Order Low-Pass Filter

Butterworth low-pass filter. With the values as shown, the corner frequency will be 200 kHz. The equations for component
selection are shown below:
R1 = R2 = user selected (typical values: 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ).

The AD823 exhibits good current drive and THD+N performance, even at 3 V single supplies. At 20 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 which consume more power and cannot run on
3 V power supplies.
In Figure 40, each channel’s input signal is coupled via a 1 µF
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
AD823 can then be used to drive a headphone channel. A 5 Hz
high-pass filter is realized by the 500 µF 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.

Single-Supply Half-Wave and Full-Wave Rectifiers
An AD823 configured as a unity gain follower and operated
with a single supply can be used as a simple half-wave rectifier.
The AD823’s inputs maintain picoamp level input currents even
when driven well below the minus supply. The rectifier puts that
behavior to good use, maintaining an input impedance of over
1011 Ω for input voltages from 1 volt from the positive supply to
20 volts below the negative supply.
The full- and half-wave rectifier shown in Figure 43 operates as
follows: when VIN is above ground, R1 is bootstrapped through
the unity gain follower A1 and the loop of amplifier A2. This
forces the inputs of A2 to be equal, thus no current flows
through R1 or R2, and the circuit output tracks the input. When
VIN is below ground, the output of A1 is forced to ground. The
noninverting input of amplifier A2 sees the ground level output
of A1, therefore, A2 operates as a unity gain inverter. The out-
