GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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.
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.
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 14-lead narrow SOIC
and 14-lead TSSOP packages.

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 allow the amplifier to be easily configured for high
gains without risk of excessive output voltage errors, which
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 −40°C to +125°C temperature range.
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 openloop gain of the amplifier, is dependent on the load resistance.
Open-loop gain decreases with smaller load resistances, which
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 VOSA and VOSB, where A denotes the nulling amplifier and B
denotes 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.
B
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 amplifier and
on CM1, an internal capacitor in the AD857x. Mathematically,
this can be expressed in the time domain as
VOA [t ] = AAVOSA [t ] − B AVOA[t ]
(1)
this can also 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.

AMPLIFICATION PHASE
When the φB switches close and the φA switches open for the
amplification phase, the 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 AVNA [t ]

The AD857x architecture is optimized in such a way that
AA = AB, BA = BB, and BA >> 1. In addition, the gain product to
AABB is much greater than AB. Therefore, Equation 10 can be
simplified to
B
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, the amplifier switches
between phases every 0.5 × TS. Therefore, in the amplification

Here, the auto-zeroing becomes apparent. Note that the VOS
term is reduced by a 1 + BA factor, which shows how the nulling
amplifier has greatly reduced its own offset voltage error even
before correcting the primary amplifier. Therefore, the primary
amplifier output voltage is the voltage at the output of the
AD857x amplifier. It is equal to

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

where:

Putting Equation 12 into the form of Equation 11 gives
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 because
changes in offset voltage are a function of temperature

Thus, the offset voltages of both the primary and nulling
amplifiers are reduced by the gain factor BA, which 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.

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 junction temperature. The most common
metallic junctions on a circuit board are solder-to-board trace
and solder-to-component lead. Figure 54 shows a cross-section
view of the thermal voltage error sources. When the
temperature of the PCB 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.
HIGH GAIN, CMRR, AND 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 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, which 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.
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.
MAXIMIZING PERFORMANCE THROUGH PROPER
LAYOUT
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 PCB 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 PCB using Teflon® standoff insulators.

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
broadband noise naturally combines with the amplifier voltage
noise in a root-squared-sum fashion, resulting in an output free
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, which allows the AD857x
to have lower noise near dc than standard low noise amplifiers
that are susceptible to 1/f noise.
VS = 5V
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
en, TOTAL = [en 2 + 4kTrs + (inrs )2 ]1/ 2
(15)
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 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
where:
en is the input voltage noise of the amplifier.
in is the input current noise of the amplifier.
rs is the source resistance connected to the noninverting
terminal.
k is Boltzmann’s constant (1.38 × 10−23 J/K).
T is the 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
the input voltage noise provided that 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 > 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
en = en, TOTAL × BW
(16)
Although the AD857x are rail-to-rail input amplifiers, 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, which could
cause excessive current to flow through the 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
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
times for the AD857x.
Output phase reversal occurs in some amplifiers when the input
common-mode voltage range is exceeded. As common-mode
voltage moves outside 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 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.

AD8571/AD8572/AD8574
CAPACITIVE LOAD DRIVE
The AD857x have 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.

The optimum value for the resistor and capacitor is a function
of the load capacitance and is best determined empirically since
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.
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.
On power-up, the AD857x settle 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. 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.

The high common-mode rejection, high open-loop gain,
and operation down to 3 V of supply voltage make the
AD857x family 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

Therefore, using 1% tolerance resistors results in a worst-case
system CMRR of 0.02, or 34 dB. To achieve high commonmode rejection, either high precision resistors or an additional
trimming resistor, as shown in Figure 65, should be used. 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.

HIGH ACCURACY THERMOCOUPLE AMPLIFIER
Figure 66 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 0°C ice bath, R6 should be adjusted until the
output is at 0 V.
Using the values shown in Figure 66, the output voltage tracks
temperature at 10 mV/°C. For a wider range of temperature
measurement, R9 can be decreased to 62 kΩ. This creates a
5 mV/°C change at the output, allowing measurements of up
to 1000°C.

PRECISION CURRENT METER
Because of its low input bias current and superb offset voltage at
single-supply voltages, the AD857x family 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 lowside 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 67 shows a high-side current monitor configuration.
Here, the input common-mode voltage of the amplifier is at or
near the positive supply voltage. The rail-to-rail input of the
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.
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, which creates a
current through R1 that in turn flows through R2. The monitor
output is given by

PRECISION VOLTAGE COMPARATOR
The AD857x can be operated open-loop and used as a precision
comparator. The AD857x have 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 the 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, see the Input
Overvoltage Protection section.
