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.

Pulse Response, VS = ± 15 V, G = +1 of 1 mV max and offset drift of 2 µV/°C are achieved through the use of Analog Devices’ advanced thin-film trimming techniques. 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: V OUT = Vi A0 g ( sR1[C1( A2 + 1)] + 1) × s m2 + 1 C2 where: A0 = gmgm2R2R1 (Open Loop Gain of Op Amp) A2 = gm2R2 (Open Loop Gain of Output Stage) VCC R42 R37 VBE + 0.3V V1 Q43 I5 Q55 Q44 A=1 I6 Q57 A=19 Q61 Q72 J1 Q58 Q49 Q18 Q46 J6 VINP R44 S1N S1P VOUT Q54 Q21 VINN C2 R28 Q62 Q60 VCC C1 VB Q48 Q53 I1 C6 R33 Q35 I2 Q17 A=19 R43 I3 Q56 Q52 VEE Figure 35. Simplified Schematic REV. 0 –11– I4 Q59 A=1 AD823 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. 1V 2µs 100 90 10 GND 0% 1V a.

AD823 Input Response –12– REV. 0 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. +5VA +5VA 2 8 3 VIN 49.9Ω 0.1 µF 28 19 +VCC +VDD 20 REFOUT 21 AIN1 22 AIN2 AD823 AD1672 5 VREF (1.25V) 7 23 REFIN 24 IN COM 25 NCOMP2 26 NCOMP1 6 4 1k 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 than 1 kHz. 1k 27 CLOCK +5VD 0.1 µF 10µF 1 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.

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. REV. 0 10µF 0.1µF +5VD 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. –13– AD823 +3V 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 350 mV. The input frequency was 490 kHz, which was chosen to spread the location of the harmonics. 95.3kΩ CHANNEL 1 1µF MYLAR The distortion analysis is important for systems requiring good frequency domain performance. Other systems may require good time domain performance. The noise and settling time performance of the AD823 will provide the necessary information for its applicability for these systems. 0.1µF 95.3k 8 3 1/2 47.5k AD823 2 95.3k 1 0.1µF + 500µF L 4.99k 10k HEADPHONES 32Ω IMPEDANCE 10k R 4.99k 1 6 VIN = 2.15Vp-p G = +1 FI = 490kHz 1µF 1/2 AD823 5 4 47.5k CHANNEL 2 500µF 7 + 15dB/DIV MYLAR 2 Figure 40. 3 Volt Single Supply Stereo Headphone Driver 4 5 6 9 7 3 8 Second Order Low-Pass Filter Figure 41 depicts the AD823 configured as a second order Butterworth low-pass filter.

FFT of AD1672 Output Driven by AD823 C1( farads ) = 3 Volt, Single Supply Stereo Headphone Driver 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. 1.414 0.707 ; C2 = 2 πfcutoff R1 2 πfcutoff R1 C2 56pF R1 20k +5V C3 0.1µF R2 20k VIN C1 28pF 1/2 AD823 VOUT 50pF C4 0.1µF –5V Figure 41.

Frequency Response of Filter 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- REV. 0 –15– 2V 2V 200µs 100 A 90 B 10 C 0% 2V Figure 43.
