This new family of amplifiers has ultralow offset, drift and bias
current. The AD8571, AD8572 and AD8574 are single, dual and
quad amplifiers featuring rail-to-rail input and output swings. All
are guaranteed to operate from 2.7 V to 5 V single supply.
With an offset voltage of only 1 µV and drift of 0.005 µV/°C, the
AD8571 is perfectly suited for applications where error sources
cannot be tolerated. Position, and pressure sensors, medical
equipment, and strain gage amplifiers benefit greatly from nearly
zero drift over their operating temperature range. Many more
systems require the rail-to-rail input and output swings provided
by the AD857x family.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD857x family provides the benefits previously found only in
expensive autozeroing or chopper-stabilized amplifiers. Using Analog
Devices’ new topology these new zero-drift amplifiers combine low
cost with high accuracy. (No external capacitors are required.) In
addition, using a patented spread-spectrum autozero technique, the
AD857x family virtually eliminates the intermodulation effects from
interaction of the chopping function with the signal frequency in ac
applications.

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 AD8571/AD8572/AD8574 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.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AD857x family are CMOS amplifiers that achieve their
high degree of precision through random frequency autozero
stabilization. The autocorrection topology allows the AD857x
to maintain its low offset voltage over a wide temperature range,
and the randomized autozero clock eliminates any intermodulation
distortion (IMD) errors at the amplifier’s output.
The AD857x can be run from a single supply voltage as low as
2.7 V. The extremely low offset voltage of 1 µV and no IMD
products allows the amplifier to be easily configured for high
gains without risk of excessive output voltage errors. This makes
the AD857x an ideal amplifier for applications requiring both dc
precision and low distortion for ac signals. The extremely small
temperature drift of 5 nV/°C ensures a minimum of offset voltage
error over its entire temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. These
combined features make the AD857x an excellent choice for a
variety of sensitive measurement and automotive applications.
Amplifier Architecture
Each AD857x op amp consists of two amplifiers, a main amplifier
and a secondary amplifier, used to correct the offset voltage of the
main amplifier. Both consist of a rail-to-rail input stage, allowing
the input common-mode voltage range to reach both supply rails.
The input stage consists of an NMOS differential pair operating
concurrently with a parallel PMOS differential pair. The outputs
from the differential input stages are combined in another gain
stage whose output is used to drive a rail-to-rail output stage.
The wide voltage swing of the amplifier is achieved by using two
output transistors in a common-source configuration. The output
voltage range is limited by the drain-to-source resistance of these
transistors. As the amplifier is required to source or sink more
output current, the voltage drop across these transistors increases
due to their rds. Simply put, the output voltage will not swing as
close to the rail under heavy output current conditions as it will
with light output current. This is a characteristic of all rail-to-rail
output amplifiers. Figures 6 and 7 show how close the output
voltage can get to the rails with a given output current. The output of the AD857x is short circuit protected to approximately
50 mA of current.
As noted in the previous section on amplifier architecture, each
AD857x op amp contains two internal amplifiers. One is used as
the primary amplifier, the other as an autocorrection, or nulling,
amplifier. Each amplifier has an associated input offset voltage
that can be modeled as a dc voltage source in series with the
noninverting input. In Figures 44 and 45 these are labeled as
VOSX, where x denotes the amplifier associated with the offset; A
for the nulling amplifier, B for the primary amplifier. The openloop gain for the +IN and –IN inputs of each amplifier is given
as AX. Both amplifiers also have a third voltage input with an
associated open-loop gain of BX .
There are two modes of operation determined by the action of
two sets of switches in the amplifier: An autozero phase and an
amplification phase.
Autozero Phase
In this phase, all φA switches are closed and all φB switches are
opened. Here, the nulling amplifier is taken out of the gain loop
by shorting its two inputs together. Of course, there is a degree of
offset voltage, shown as VOSA, inherent in the nulling amplifier,
which maintains a potential difference between the +IN and –IN
inputs. The nulling amplifier feedback loop is closed through φA2
and VOSA appears at the output of the nulling amp and on CM1,
an internal capacitor in the AD857x. Mathematically, we can
express this in the time domain as:
[]
Autocorrection amplifiers are not a new technology. Various IC
implementations have been available for over 15 years and some
improvements have been made over time. The AD857x design
offers a number of significant performance improvements over
older versions while attaining a very substantial reduction in
device cost. This section offers a simplified explanation of how
the AD857x is able to offer extremely low offset voltages and
high open-loop gains.

The AD857x amplifiers have exceptional gain, yielding greater
than 120 dB of open-loop gain with a load of 2 kΩ. Because the
output transistors are configured in a common-source configuration, the gain of the output stage, and thus the open-loop gain
of the amplifier, is dependent on the load resistance. Open-loop
gain will decrease with smaller load resistances. This is another
characteristic of rail-to-rail output amplifiers.

When the φB switches close and the φA switches open for the
amplification phase, this offset voltage remains on CM1 and
essentially corrects any error from the nulling amplifier. The
voltage across CM1 is designated as VNA. Let us also designate
VIN as the potential difference between the two inputs to the
primary amplifier, or VIN = (VIN+ – VIN–). Now the output of the
nulling amplifier can be expressed as:

voltage at the output of the nulling amp VOA at the time when
φA was closed. If we call the period of the autocorrection

Thus, the offset voltages of both the primary and nulling amplifiers are reduced by the gain factor BA. This takes a typical input
offset voltage from several millivolts down to an effective input
offset voltage of submicrovolts. This autocorrection scheme is
what makes the AD857x family of amplifiers among the most
precise amplifiers in the world.
High Gain, CMRR, PSRR
Common-mode and power supply rejection are indications of the
amount of offset voltage an amplifier has as a result of a change in its
input common-mode or power supply voltages. As shown in the
previous section, the autocorrection architecture of the AD857x
allows it to quite effectively minimize offset voltages. The technique
also corrects for offset errors caused by common-mode voltage
swings and power supply variations. This results in superb CMRR
and PSRR figures in excess of 130 dB. Because the autocorrection
occurs continuously, these figures can be maintained across the
device’s entire temperature range, from –40°C to +125°C.
Maximizing Performance Through Proper Layout
We can already get a feel for the autozeroing in action. Note the
VOS term is reduced by a 1 + BA factor. This shows how the
nulling amplifier has greatly reduced its own offset voltage error
even before correcting the primary amplifier. Now the primary
amplifier output voltage is the voltage at the output of the
AD857x amplifier. It is equal to:
[]
)
And from here, it is easy to see that:
VOS ,
For the sake of simplification, let us assume that the autocorrection
frequency is much faster than any potential change in VOSA or
VOSB. This is a good assumption since changes in offset voltage are
a function of temperature variation or long-term wear time, both of
which are much slower than the auto-zero clock frequency of the
AD857x. This effectively makes VOS time invariant and we can
rearrange Equation 5 and rewrite it as:
VOA t = AAVIN t +
[]
VOUT t ≈ VIN t AABA + VOS ,
And substituting Equation 4 and Equation 2 into Equation 3 yields:
VOA t = AAVIN t + AAVOSA
EFF
Where k is the open-loop gain of an amplifier and VOS, EFF is its
effective offset voltage. Putting Equation 12 into the form of
Equation 11 gives us:

(11)
Most obvious is the gain product of both the primary and nulling
amplifiers. This AABA term is what gives the AD857x its extremely
high open-loop gain. To understand how VOSA and VOSB relate to
the overall effective input offset voltage of the complete amplifier,
we should set up the generic amplifier equation of:

To achieve the maximum performance of the extremely high
input impedance and low offset voltage of the AD857x, care
should be taken in the circuit board layout. The PC board surface must remain clean and free of moisture to avoid leakage
currents between adjacent traces. Surface coating of the circuit
board will reduce surface moisture and provide a humidity
barrier, reducing parasitic resistance on the board. The use of
guard rings around the amplifier inputs will further reduce leakage currents. Figure 46 shows how the guard ring should be
configured and Figure 47 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 noninverting input, parasitic capacitance is minimized
as well. For further reduction of leakage currents, components
can be mounted to the PC board using Teflon standoff insulators.

1/f Noise Characteristics
Another advantage of autozero amplifiers is their ability to cancel
flicker noise. Flicker noise, also known as 1/f noise, is noise inherent in the physics of semiconductor devices and increases 3 dB
for every octave decrease in frequency. The 1/f corner frequency
of an amplifier is the frequency at which the flicker noise is equal
to the broadband noise of the amplifier. At lower frequencies,
flicker noise dominates, causing higher degrees of error for subHertz frequencies or dc precision applications.

Other potential sources of offset error are thermoelectric voltages
on the circuit board. This voltage, also called Seebeck voltage,
occurs at the junction of two dissimilar metals and is proportional
to the temperature of the junction. The most common metallic
junctions on a circuit board are solder-to-board trace and solderto-component lead. Figure 48 shows a cross-section diagram view
of the thermal voltage error sources. If the temperature of the PC
board at one end of the component (TA1) is different from the
temperature at the other end (TA2), the Seebeck voltages will not
be equal, resulting in a thermal voltage error.
This thermocouple error can be reduced by using dummy components to match the thermoelectric error source. Placing the
dummy component as close as possible to its partner will ensure
both Seebeck voltages are equal, thus canceling the thermocouple error. Maintaining a constant ambient temperature on
the circuit board will further reduce this error. The use of a
ground plane will help distribute heat throughout the board and
will also reduce EMI noise pickup.

Because the AD857x amplifiers are self-correcting op amps,
they do not have increasing flicker noise at lower frequencies.
In essence, low frequency noise is treated as a slowly varying
offset error and is greatly reduced as a result of autocorrection.
The correction becomes more effective as the noise frequency
approaches dc, offsetting the tendency of the noise to increase
exponentially as frequency decreases. This allows the AD857x
to have lower noise near dc than standard low-noise amplifiers
that are susceptible to 1/f noise.
Random Autozero Correction Eliminates Intermodulation
Distortion
The AD857x can be used as a conventional op amp for gains up
to 1 MHz. The autozero correction frequency of the device
continuously varies, based on a pseudo-random generator with a
uniform distribution from 2 kHz to 4 kHz. The randomization
of the autocorrection clock creates a continuous randomization
of intermodulation distortion (IMD) products, which show up
as simple broadband noise at the output of the amplifier. This
noise naturally combines with the amplifier’s voltage noise in a
root-squared-sum fashion, resulting in an output free of IMD.
Figure 50a shows the spectral output of an AD8572 with the
amplifier configured for unity gain and the input grounded. Figure
50b shows the spectral output with the amplifier configured for a
gain of 60 dB.

Broadband and External Resistor Noise Considerations
0
The total broadband noise output from any amplifier is primarily
a function of three types of noise: Input voltage noise from the
amplifier, input current noise from the amplifier and Johnson
noise from the external resistors used around the amplifier. Input
voltage noise, or en, is strictly a function of the amplifier used.
The Johnson noise from a resistor is a function of the resistance
and the temperature. Input current noise, or in, creates an equivalent voltage noise proportional to the resistors used around the
amplifier. These noise sources are not correlated with each other
and their combined noise sums in a root-squared-sum fashion.

The AD857x amplifiers have an excellent overdrive recovery of
only 200 µs from either supply rail. This characteristic is particularly difficult for autocorrection amplifiers, as the nulling amplifier requires a substantial amount of time to error correct the
main amplifier back to a valid output. Figure 23 and Figure 24

The output overdrive recovery for an autocorrection amplifier is
defined as the time it takes for the output to correct to its final
voltage from an overload state. It is measured by placing the
amplifier in a high gain configuration with an input signal that
forces the output voltage to the supply rail. The input voltage is
then stepped down to the linear region of the amplifier, usually
to half-way between the supplies. The time from the input signal
step-down to the output settling to within 100 µV of its final
value is the overdrive recovery time. Most competitors’ autocorrection amplifiers require a number of autozero clock cycles
to recover from output overdrive and some can take several
milliseconds for the output to settle properly.

Input Overvoltage Protection
Although the AD857x is a rail-to-rail input amplifier, care should
be taken to ensure that the potential difference between the inputs
does not exceed 5 V. Under normal operating conditions, the
amplifier will correct its output to ensure the two inputs are at
the same voltage. However, if the device is configured as a comparator, or is under some unusual operating condition, the input
voltages may be forced to different potentials. This could cause
excessive current to flow through internal diodes in the AD857x
used to protect the input stage against overvoltage.
Although the snubber will not recover the loss of amplifier bandwidth from the load capacitance, it will allow the amplifier to drive
larger values of capacitance while maintaining a minimum of overshoot and ringing. Figure 53 shows the output of an AD857x
driving a 1 nF capacitor with and without a snubber network.

SNUBBER
If either input exceeds either supply rail by more than 0.3 V, large
amounts of current will begin to flow through the ESD protection
diodes in the amplifier. These diodes are connected between the
inputs and each supply rail to protect the input transistors against
an electrostatic discharge event and are normally reverse-biased.
However, if the input voltage exceeds the supply voltage, these
ESD diodes will become forward-biased. Without current-limiting,
excessive amounts of current could flow through these diodes
causing permanent damage to the device. If inputs are subject to
overvoltage, appropriate series resistors should be inserted to limit
the diode current to less than 2 mA maximum.
Output phase reversal occurs in some amplifiers when the input
common-mode voltage range is exceeded. As common-mode
voltage is moved outside of the common-mode range, the outputs
of these amplifiers will suddenly jump in the opposite direction to
the supply rail. This is the result of the differential input pair shutting down, causing a radical shifting of internal voltages which
results in the erratic output behavior.

Table I. Snubber Network Values for Driving Capacitive Loads
The AD857x amplifier has been carefully designed to prevent
any output phase reversal, provided both inputs are maintained
within the supply voltages. If one or both inputs could exceed
either supply voltage, a resistor should be placed in series with
the input to limit the current to less than 2 mA. This will ensure
the output will not reverse its phase.
The AD857x has excellent capacitive load-driving capabilities
and can safely drive up to 10 nF from a single 5 V supply.
Although the device is stable, capacitive loading will limit the
bandwidth of the amplifier. Capacitive loads will also increase
the amount of overshoot and ringing at the output. An R-C
snubber network, Figure 52, can be used to compensate the
amplifier against capacitive load ringing and overshoot.
VS = 5V
CLOAD = 4.7nF
The optimum value for the resistor and capacitor is a function of
the load capacitance and is best determined empirically since actual
CLOAD will include stray capacitances and may differ substantially
from the nominal capacitive load. Table I shows some snubber
network values that can be used as starting points.

Power-Up Behavior
On power-up, the AD857x will settle to a valid output within 5 µs.
Figure 54a shows an oscilloscope photo of the output of the amplifier along with the power supply voltage, and Figure 54b shows the
test circuit. With the amplifier configured for unity gain, the device
takes approximately 5 µs to settle to its final output voltage. This
turn-on response time is much faster than most other autocorrection
amplifiers, which can take hundreds of microseconds or longer for
their output to settle.

Figure 57. A Discrete Instrumentation Amplifier
Configuration
The high common-mode rejection, high open-loop gain, and
operation down to 3 V of supply voltage makes the AD857x an
excellent choice of op amp for discrete single supply instrumentation amplifiers. The common-mode rejection ratio of the AD857x
is greater than 120 dB, but the CMRR of the system is also a
function of the external resistor tolerances. The gain of the difference amplifier shown in Figure 56 is given as:
 R4  
 R2 
R1 
VOUT = V 1
 1 +  − V 2 

In the 3 op amp instrumentation amplifier configuration shown
in Figure 57, the output difference amplifier is set to unity gain
with all four resistors equal in value. If the tolerance of the resistors used in the circuit is given as δ, the worst-case CMRR of
the instrumentation amplifier will be:

Due to finite component tolerance the ratio between the four
resistors will not be exactly equal, and any mismatch results in a
reduction of common-mode rejection from the system. Referring
to Figure 56, the exact common-mode rejection ratio can be
expressed as:
Where R B is the resistance of the load cell. Using the values given
in Figure 55, the output voltage will linearly vary from 0 V with
no strain to 4 V under full strain.

Thus, using 1% tolerance resistors would result in a worst-case
system CMRR of 0.02, or 34 dB. Therefore either high precision
resistors or an additional trimming resistor, as shown in Figure 57,
should be used to achieve high common-mode rejection. The value
of this trimming resistor should be equal to the value of R multiplied by its tolerance. For example, using 10 kΩ resistors with 1%
tolerance would require a series trimming resistor equal to 100 Ω.

A High Accuracy Thermocouple Amplifier
Figure 58 shows a K-type thermocouple amplifier configuration
with cold-junction compensation. Even from a 5 V supply, the
AD8571 can provide enough accuracy to achieve a resolution
of better than 0.02°C from 0°C to 500°C. D1 is used as a temperature measuring device to correct the cold-junction error from
the thermocouple and should be placed as close as possible to
the two terminating junctions. With the thermocouple measuring
tip immersed in a zero-degree ice bath, R6 should be adjusted
until the output is at 0 V.
Figure 60 shows the low-side monitor equivalent. In this circuit,
the input common-mode voltage to the AD8572 will be at or near
ground. Again, a 0.1 Ω resistor provides a voltage drop proportional
to the return current. The output voltage is given as:
R

VOUT = V + − 2 × RSENSE × I L 
 R1

For the component values shown in Figure 60, the output transfer
function decreases from V at –2.5 V/A.
Using the values shown in Figure 58, the output voltage will
track temperature at 10 mV/°C. For a wider range of temperature measurement, R 9 can be decreased to 62 kΩ. This will
create a 5 mV/°C change at the output, allowing measurements
of up to 1000°C.

Because of its low input bias current and superb offset voltage at
single supply voltages, the AD857x is an excellent amplifier for
precision current monitoring. Its rail-to-rail input allows the
amplifier to be used as either a high-side or low-side current
monitor. Using both amplifiers in the AD8572 provides a simple
method to monitor both current supply and return paths for
load or fault detection.
Figure 59 shows a high-side current monitor configuration. Here,
the input common-mode voltage of the amplifier will be at or near
the positive supply voltage. The amplifier’s rail-to-rail input provides
a precise measurement, even with the input common-mode voltage
at the supply voltage. The CMOS input structure does not draw any
input bias current, ensuring a minimum of measurement error.
The 0.1 Ω resistor creates a voltage drop to the noninverting
input of the AD857x. The amplifier’s output is corrected until
this voltage appears at the inverting input. This creates a current
through R1, which in turn flows through R2. The Monitor Output
is given by:

The AD857x can be operated open-loop and used as a precision
comparator. The AD857x has less than 50 µV of offset voltage
when run in this configuration. The slight increase of offset
voltage stems from the fact that the autocorrection architecture
operates with lowest offset in a closed-loop configuration, that
is, one with negative feedback. With 50 mV of overdrive, the
device has a propagation delay of 15 µs on the rising edge and
8 µs on the falling edge.
Care should be taken to ensure the maximum differential voltage of the device is not exceeded. For more information, please
refer to the section on Input Overvoltage Protection.

AD8571/AD8572/AD8574
The network around ECM1 creates the common-mode voltage
error, with CCM1 setting the corner frequency for the CMRR
roll-off. The power supply rejection error is created by the network
around EPS1, with CPS3 establishing the corner frequency for
the PSRR roll-off. The two current loops around nodes 80 and
81 are used to create a 51 nV/√Hz noise figure across RN2. All
three of these error sources are reflected to the input of the op
amp model through EOS. Finally, GSY is used to accurately
model the supply current versus supply voltage increase in
the AD857x.
SPICE Model
The SPICE macro-model for the AD857x amplifier is given in
Listing 1. This model simulates the typical specifications for the
AD857x, and it can be downloaded from the Analog Devices
website at http://www.analog.com. The schematic of the
macro-model is shown in Figure 61.
Transistors M1 through M4 simulate the rail-to-rail input differential pairs in the AD857x amplifier. The EOS voltage source in
series with the noninverting input establishes not only the 1 µV
offset voltage, but is also used to establish common-mode and
power supply rejection ratios and input voltage noise. The differential voltages from nodes 14 to 16 and nodes 17 to 18 are reflected
to E1, which is used to simulate a secondary pole-zero combination
in the open-loop gain of the amplifier.
This macro-model has been designed to accurately simulate a
number of specifications exhibited by the AD857x amplifier,
and is one of the most true-to-life macro-models available for
any op amp. It is optimized for operation at 27°C. Although the
model will function at different temperatures, it may lose accuracy
with respect to the actual behavior of the AD857x.
The voltage at node 32 is then reflected to G1, which adds an
additional gain stage and, in conjunction with CF, establishes
the slew rate of the model at 0.5 V/µs. M5 and M6 are in a
common-source configuration, similar to the output stage of
the AD857x amplifier. EG1 and EG2 fix the quiescent current
in these two transistors at 100 µA, and also help accurately
simulate the VOUT vs. IOUT characteristic of the amplifier.
