GENERAL DESCRIPTION
+IN A 3
12 +IN D
This family of amplifiers has ultralow offset, drift, and bias
current. The AD8571, AD8572, and AD8574 are single, dual,
and quad amplifiers, respectively, featuring rail-to-rail input
and output swings. All are guaranteed to operate from 2.7 V to
5 V single supply.

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

FEATURES
Figure 6. 14-Lead SOIC
(R Suffix)
The AD857x family is specified for the extended industrial/
automotive (−40°C to +125°C) temperature range. The AD8571
single amplifier is available in 8-lead MSOP and narrow 8-lead
SOIC packages. The AD8572 dual amplifier is available in
8-lead narrow SOIC and 8-lead TSSOP surface mount packages.
The AD8574 quad amplifier is available in narrow 14-lead SOIC
and 14-lead TSSOP packages.
With an offset voltage of only 1 μV and drift of 0.005 μV/°C, the
AD857x family 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.

AD8571/AD8572/AD8574
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8571/AD8572/AD8574 are CMOS amplifiers that
achieve their high degree of precision through random
frequency auto-zero stabilization. The autocorrection topology
allows the AD857x to maintain its low offset voltage over a wide
temperature range, and the randomized auto-zero clock
eliminates any intermodulation distortion (IMD) errors at the
amplifier 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 that is 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 on resistance (rds). Simply put, the output
voltage does not swing as close to the rail under heavy output
current conditions as it does with light output current. This is a
characteristic of all rail-to-rail output amplifiers. Figure 12 and
Figure 13 show how close the output voltage can get to the rails
with a given output current. The output of the AD857x is shortcircuit protected to approximately 50 mA of current.
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 decreases with smaller load resistances. This is another
characteristic of rail-to-rail output amplifiers.
BASIC AUTO-ZERO AMPLIFIER THEORY
Autocorrection amplifiers are not a new technology. Various IC
implementations have been available for more than 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.
As noted in the Amplifier Architecture section, 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 Figure 50 and Figure 51, 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 open-loop 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 auto-zero phase and an
amplification phase.
AUTO-ZERO 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
that 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
VOA [t ] = A A VOSA [t ] − B A VOA [t ]
(1)
this also can be expressed as
VOA [t ] =
A AVOSA [t ]
1 + BA
(2)
This shows that the offset voltage of the nulling amplifier times
a gain factor appears at the output of the nulling amplifier and
thus on the CM1 capacitor.

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. The potential difference
between the two inputs to the primary amplifier is designated as
VIN, or VIN = (VIN+ − VIN–). The output of the nulling amplifier
can then be expressed as
VOA [t ] = A A (V IN [t ] − VOSA [t ] − B A V NA [t ]

Here, the auto-zeroing becomes apparent. Note that 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. Thus, the primary
amplifier output voltage is the voltage at the output of the
AD857x amplifier. It is equal to

Because φA is now open and there is no place for CM1 to
discharge, the voltage (VNA) at the present time (t) is equal to
the voltage at the output of the nulling amp (VOA) at the time
when φA was closed. If the period of the autocorrection
switching frequency is designated as TS, then the amplifier
switches between phases every 0.5 × TS. Therefore, in the

The AD857x architecture is optimized in such a way that
AA = AB and BA = BB and BA >> 1. In addition, the gain product
to AABB is much greater than AB. Thus, Equation 10 can be
simplified to
VOUT [t ] = V IN [t ]A A B A + A A (VOSA + VOSB )

(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, set up the generic amplifier equation of
VOUT = k × (VIN + VOS , EFF )
and substituting Equation 4 and Equation 2 into Equation 3
yields
+ A BVOSB
(12)
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
VOUT [t ] = V IN [t ]A A B A + VOS, EFF A A B A
(13)
Therefore
For the sake of simplification, it can be assumed 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

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 makes the AD857x family of amplifiers extremely
precise.

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 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 52 shows how the guard ring should be configured and
Figure 53 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.

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-toboard trace and solder-to-component lead. Figure 54 shows a
cross-section view of the thermal voltage error sources. When
the temperature of the PC board at one end of the component
(TA1) differs from the temperature at the other end (TA2), the
Seebeck voltages are not 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 ensures
both Seebeck voltages are equal, thus canceling the thermocouple
error. Maintaining a constant ambient temperature on the
circuit board further reduces this error. The use of a ground
plane helps distribute heat throughout the board and also
reduces EMI noise pickup.

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 Amplification Phase section, the autocorrection
architecture of the AD857x allows it to 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 entire
temperature range of the device, from −40°C to +125°C.

RANDOM AUTO-ZERO CORRECTION ELIMINATES
INTERMODULATION DISTORTION
The AD857x can be used as a conventional op amp for gains up
to 1 MHz. The auto-zero correction frequency of the device
continuously varies, based on a pseudorandom 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 that show up as
simple broadband noise at the output of the amplifier. This
noise naturally combines with the amplifier voltage noise in a
root-squared-sum fashion, resulting in an output free of IMD.
Figure 56 shows the spectral output of an AD8572 with the
amplifier configured for unity gain and the input grounded.
Figure 57 shows the spectral output with the amplifier
configured for a gain of 60 dB.

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.

AV = 60dB

OUTPUT SIGNAL
Another advantage of auto-zero 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 sub-Hertz frequencies or dc precision
applications.

BROADBAND AND EXTERNAL RESISTOR NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
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 rootsquared-sum fashion. The full equation is given as
e n,TOTAL = [e n 2 + 4kTrs + (i n rs ) 2 ]1 / 2
(15)
where:
en = input voltage noise of the amplifier.
in = input current noise of the amplifier.
rs = source resistance connected to the noninverting terminal.
k = Boltzmann’s constant (1.38 × 10−23 J/K).
T = ambient temperature in Kelvin (K = 273.15 + °C).
The input voltage noise density, en, of the AD857x is
51 nV/√Hz, and the input noise, in, is 2 fA/√Hz. The en, TOTAL is
dominated by input voltage noise provided the source resistance
is less than 172 kΩ. With source resistance greater than 172 kΩ,
the overall noise of the system is dominated by the Johnson
noise of the resistor itself.
Because the input current noise of the AD857x is very small, in
does not become a dominant term unless rS is greater than
4 GΩ, which is an impractical value of source resistance.
The total noise, en, TOTAL, is expressed in volts-per-square-root
Hertz, and the equivalent rms noise over a certain bandwidth
can be found as
e n = e n,TOTAL × BW
(16)
where BW is the bandwidth of interest in Hertz.
OUTPUT OVERDRIVE RECOVERY
The AD857x amplifiers have an excellent overdrive recovery of
only 200 μs from either supply rail. This characteristic is particularly difficult for autocorrection amplifiers, because the
nulling amplifier requires a substantial amount of time to error
correct the main amplifier back to a valid output. Figure 29 and
Figure 30 show the positive and negative overdrive recovery
time for the AD857x.
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 halfway 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. Many competitors’ autocorrection amplifiers require a number of auto-zero 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 corrects 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.
If either input exceeds either supply rail by more than 0.3 V,
large amounts of current 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 become forward-biased.
Without current-limiting, excessive amounts of current can
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.
OUTPUT PHASE REVERSAL
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 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 that results in the erratic output behavior.
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 to ensure the
output does not reverse its phase.

CAPACITIVE LOAD DRIVE
Table 5. Snubber Network Values for Driving Capacitive Loads
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 limits the
bandwidth of the amplifier. Capacitive loads also increase the
amount of overshoot and ringing at the output. An RC snubber
network, shown in Figure 59, can be used to compensate the
amplifier against capacitive load ringing and overshoot.

POWER-UP BEHAVIOR
On power-up, the AD857x settles to a valid output within
5 μs. Figure 61 shows an oscilloscope photo of the output of the
amplifier along with the power supply voltage, and Figure 62
shows the test circuit. With the amplifier configured for unity
gain, the device takes approximately 5 μs to settle to its final
output voltage, hundreds of microseconds faster than many
other autocorrection amplifiers.
Figure 59. Snubber Network Configuration for Driving Capacitive Loads
Although the snubber does not recover the loss of amplifier
bandwidth from the load capacitance, it does allow the amplifier
to drive larger values of capacitance while maintaining a
minimum of overshoot and ringing. Figure 60 shows the output
of an AD857x driving a 1 nF capacitor with and without a
snubber network.

The optimum value for the resistor and capacitor is a function

actual CLOAD includes stray capacitances and can differ substantially from the nominal capacitive load. Table 5 shows some
snubber network values that can be used as starting points.

APPLICATIONS
5 V PRECISION STRAIN GAGE CIRCUIT
The extremely low offset voltage of the AD8572 makes it an ideal
amplifier for any application requiring accuracy with high gains,
such as a weigh scale or strain gage. Figure 63 shows a configuration for a single supply, precision strain gage measurement system.
In an ideal difference amplifier, the ratio of the resistors is set
exactly equal to

where RB is the resistance of the load cell. Using the values given
in Figure 63, the output voltage linearly varies from 0 V with no
strain to 4 V under full strain.

Due to finite component tolerance, the ratio between the four
resistors is not exactly equal, and any mismatch results in a
reduction of common-mode rejection from the system. Referring
to Figure 64, the exact common-mode rejection ratio can be
expressed as
CMRR =
R1R4 + 2R2R4 + R2R3
In the three-op amp instrumentation amplifier configuration
shown in Figure 65, the output difference amplifier is set to

The high common-mode rejection, high open-loop gain, and
operation down to 3 V of supply voltage make 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

A REF192 provides a 2.5 V precision reference voltage for A2.
The A2 amplifier boosts this voltage to provide a 4.0 V reference
for the top of the strain gage resistor bridge. Q1 provides the
current drive for the 350 Ω bridge network. A1 is used to amplify
the output of the bridge with the full-scale output voltage equal to
Figure 65. Discrete Instrumentation Amplifier Configuration
Thus, using 1% tolerance resistors results 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 65,
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.

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 a 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.
The 0.1 Ω resistor creates a voltage drop to the noninverting
input of the AD857x. The output of the amplifier is corrected
until this voltage appears at the inverting input. This creates a
current through R1 that in turn flows through R2. The monitor

Here, the input common-mode voltage of the amplifier is at or

amplifier 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.

PRECISION VOLTAGE COMPARATOR
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,
refer to the Input Overvoltage Protection section.
Using the components shown in Figure 67, the monitor output
transfer function is 2.5 V/A.
