Its very low offset voltage and offset voltage drift are the results of advanced laser wafer trimming technology. These performance benefits allow the user to easily upgrade existing designs that use older precision BiFETs and, in many cases, bipolar op amps. The superior ac and dc performance of this op amp makes it suitable for active filter applications. With a slew rate of 16 V/µs and a settling time of 1 µs to ± 0.01%, the AD712 is ideal as a buffer for 12-bit D/A and A/D Converters and as a high-speed integrator. The settling time is unmatched by any similar IC amplifier. The combination of excellent noise performance and low input current also make the AD712 useful for photo diode preamps. Common-mode rejection of 88 dB and open loop gain of 400 V/mV ensure 12-bit performance even in high-speed unity gain buffer circuits. The AD712 is pinned out in a standard op amp configuration and is available in seven performance grades. The AD712J and AD712K are rated over the commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. The AD712A, AD712B and AD712C are rated over the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. The AD712S and AD712T are rated over the military temperature range of –55°C to +125°C and are available processed to MILSTD-883-B, Rev. C. Extended reliability PLUS screening is available, specified over the commercial and industrial temperature ranges. PLUS screening includes 168-hour burn-in, as well as other environmental and physical tests. The AD712 is available in an 8-lead plastic mini-DIP, SOIC, cerdip, TO-99 metal can, or in chip form. PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS 1. The AD712 offers excellent overall performance at very competitive prices. 2. Analog Devices’ advanced processing technology and with 100% testing guarantees a low input offset voltage (0.3 mV max, C grade, 3 mV max, J grade). Input offset voltage is specified in the warmed-up condition. Analog Devices’ laser wafer drift trimming process reduces input offset voltage drifts to 5 µV/°C max on the AD712C. 3. Along with precision dc performance, the AD712 offers excellent dynamic response. It settles to ± 0.01% in 1 µs and has a minimum slew rate of 16 V/µs. Thus this device is ideal for applications such as DAC and ADC buffers which require a combination of superior ac and dc performance. 4. The AD712 has a guaranteed and tested maximum voltage noise of 4 µV p-p, 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz (AD712C). 5. Analog Devices’ well-matched, ion-implanted JFETs ensure a guaranteed input bias current (at either input) of 50 pA max (AD712C) and an input offset current of 10 pA max (AD712C). Both input bias current and input offset current are guaranteed in the warmed-up condition. REV. B Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.

B AD712 In addition to a significant improvement in settling time, the low offset voltage, low offset voltage drift, and high open-loop gain of the AD711/AD712 family assures 12-bit accuracy over the full operating temperature range. OPTIMIZING SETTLING TIME Most bipolar high-speed D/A converters have current outputs; therefore, for most applications, an external op amp is required for current-to-voltage conversion. The settling time of the converter/op amp combination depends on the settling time of the DAC and output amplifier. A good approximation is: The excellent high-speed performance of the AD712 is shown in the oscilloscope photos of Figure 25. Measurements were taken using a low input capacitance amplifier connected directly to the summing junction of the AD712 – both photos show the worst case situation: a full-scale input transition. The DAC’s 4 kΩ [10 kΩ||8 kΩ = 4.4 kΩ] output impedance together with a 10 kΩ feedback resistor produce an op amp noise gain of 3.25. The current output from the DAC produces a 10 V step at the op amp output (0 to –10 V Figure 25a, –10 V to 0 V Figure 25b.) t S Total = (t S DAC )2 + (t S AMP )2 The settling time of an op amp DAC buffer will vary with the noise gain of the circuit, the DAC output capacitance, and with the amount of external compensation capacitance across the DAC output scaling resistor. Settling time for a bipolar DAC is typically 100 ns to 500 ns. Previously, conventional op amps have required much longer settling times than have typical state-of-the-art DACs; therefore, the amplifier settling time has been the major limitation to a high-speed voltage-output D-to-A function. The introduction of the AD711/AD712 family of op amps with their 1 µs (to ± 0.01% of final value) settling time now permits the full high-speed capabilities of most modern DACs to be realized. Therefore, with an ideal op amp, settling to ± 1/2 LSB (± 0.01%) requires that 375 µV or less appears at the summing junction. This means that the error between the input and output (that voltage which appears at the AD712 summing junction) must be less than 375 µV. As shown in Figure 25, the total settling time for the AD712/AD565 combination is 1.2 microseconds. 0.1mF BIPOLAR OFFSET ADJUST R2 GAIN 100V ADJUST REF OUT R1 100V VCC BIPOLAR OFF 20V SPAN + 10V AD565A – REF IN 19.95kV 5kV 9.95kV 10V SPAN 0.5mA 5kV IREF DAC REF GND IOUT = 4 3 IREF 3 CODE 20kV IO 10pF +15V 0.1mF DAC OUT 1/2 AD712 8kV OUTPUT –10V TO +10V 0.1mF –VEE 0.1mF POWER GND MSB LSB –15V Figure 24. ± 10 V Voltage Output Bipolar DAC 1mV 5V 1mV 100 100 90 90 SUMMING JUNCTION SUMMING JUNCTION 0V 0V 10 OUTPUT 10 0% OUTPUT 0% –10V –10V 500ns 500ns b.

B 5V –7– AD712 OP AMP SETTLING TIME A MATHEMATICAL MODEL The design of the AD712 gives careful attention to optimizing individual circuit components; in addition, a careful trade-off was made: the gain bandwidth product (4 MHz) and slew rate (20 V/µs) were chosen to be high enough to provide very fast settling time but not too high to cause a significant reduction in phase margin (and therefore stability). Thus designed, the AD712 settles to ± 0.01%, with a 10 V output step, in under 1 µs, while retaining the ability to drive a 250 pF load capacitance when operating as a unity gain follower. When RO and IO are replaced with their Thevenin VIN and RIN equivalents, the general purpose inverting amplifier of Figure 26b is created. Note that when using this general model, capacitance CX is EITHER the input capacitance of the op amp if a simple inverting op amp is being simulated OR it is the combined capacitance of the DAC output and the op amp input if the DAC buffer is being modeled. 1/2 AD712 If an op amp is modeled as an ideal integrator with a unity gain crossover frequency of ωο/2π, Equation 1 will accurately describe the small signal behavior of the circuit of Figure 26a, consisting of an op amp connected as an I-to-V converter at the output of a bipolar or CMOS DAC. This equation would completely describe the output of the system if not for the op amp’s finite slew rate and other nonlinear effects. VOUT RL CL CF RIN R VIN CX Figure 26b. Simplified Model of the AD712 Used as an Inverter Equation 1. VO –R = I IN R(C f = CX ) 2 GN s + + RC f s + 1 ωο ωο In either case, the capacitance CX causes the system to go from a one-pole to a two-pole response; this additional pole increases settling time by introducing peaking or ringing in the op amp output. Since the value of CX can be estimated with reasonable accuracy, Equation 2 can be used to choose a small capacitor, CF, to cancel the input pole and optimize amplifier response. Figure 27 is a graphical solution of Equation 2 for the AD712 with R = 4 kΩ. ωο where 2 =op amp’s unity gain frequency π R GN = “noise” gain of circuit 1 + R O This equation may then be solved for Cf: 60 Equation 2. Cf = 2 − GN 2 RC X ω ο + (1 − GN ) + Rω ο Rω ο 50 GN = 4.0 40 CX In these equations, capacitor CX is the total capacitor appearing the inverting terminal of the op amp. When modeling a DAC buffer application, the Norton equivalent circuit of Figure 26a can be used directly; capacitance CX is the total capacitance of the output of the DAC plus the input capacitance of the op amp (since the two are in parallel). 30 GN = 3.0 GN = 2.0 20 GN = 1.5 GN = 1.0 10 0 0 1/2 AD712 VOUT RL CL 10 20 30 CF 40 50 60 Figure 27.

B AD712 The photos of Figures 28a and 28b show the dynamic response of the AD712 in the settling test circuit of Figure 29. 5V 100 90 The input of the settling time fixture is driven by a flat-top pulse generator. The error signal output from the false summing node of A1 is clamped, amplified by A2 and then clamped again. The error signal is thus clamped twice: once to prevent overloading amplifier A2 and then a second time to avoid overloading the oscilloscope preamp. The Tektronix oscilloscope preamp type 7A26 was carefully chosen because it does not overload with these input levels. Amplifier A2 needs to be a very high speed FET-input op amp; it provides a gain of 10, amplifying the error signal output of A1. 10 GUARDING 0% 5mV 500ns Figure 28a.

The use of a guarding technique such as that shown in Figure 30, in printed circuit board layout and construction is critical to minimize leakage currents. The guard ring is connected to a low impedance potential at the same level as the inputs. High impedance signal lines should not be extended for any unnecessary length on the printed circuit board.

Settling Time Test Circuit REV. B –9– 20pF AD712 D/A CONVERTER APPLICATIONS VDD The AD712 is an excellent output amplifier for CMOS DACs. It can be used to perform both 2 quadrant and 4 quadrant operation. The output impedance of a DAC using an inverted R-2R ladder approaches R for codes containing many 1s, 3R for codes containing a single 1, and for codes containing all zero, the output impedance is infinite.

Therefore, with the DAC’s internal feedback resistance of 11 kΩ, the noise gain will vary from 2 to 4/3. This changing noise gain modulates the effect of the input offset voltage of the amplifier, resulting in nonlinear DAC amplifier performance. *REFER TO TABLE I The AD712K with guaranteed 700 µV offset voltage minimizes this effect to achieve 12-bit performance.

In successive-approximation converters, the input current is compared to a series of switched trial currents. The comparison point is diode clamped but may deviate several hundred millivolts resulting in high frequency modulation of A/D input current. The output impedance of a feedback amplifier is made artificially low by the loop gain. At high frequencies, where the loop gain is low, the amplifier output impedance can approach its open loop value. Most IC amplifiers exhibit a minimum open loop output impedance of 25 Ω due to current limiting resistors. a.

Each AD712C receives a 100% noise test for two 10-second intervals; devices with any excursion in excess of 4.0 µV are rejected. The screened lot is then submitted to Quality Control for verification on an AQL basis. 10VIN +15V 20VIN –15V ANA COM DIG COM ANALOG COM Figure 34. AD712 as ADC Unity Gain Buffer A few hundred microamps reflected from the change in converter loading can introduce errors in instantaneous input voltage. If the A/D conversion speed is not excessive and the bandwidth of the amplifier is sufficient, the amplifier’s output will return to the nominal value before the converter makes its comparison. However, many amplifiers have relatively narrow bandwidth yielding slow recovery from output transients. The AD712 is ideally suited to drive high speed A/D converters since it offers both wide bandwidth and high open-loop gain. All other grades of the AD712 are sample-tested on an AQL basis to a limit of 6 µV p-p, 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz. REV. B 0.1mF –15V NOISE CHARACTERISTICS The random nature of noise, particularly in the 1/f region, makes it difficult to specify in practical terms. At the same time, designers of precision instrumentation require certain guaranteed maximum noise levels to realize the full accuracy of their equipment. 1/2 AD712 OFFSET ADJUST –11– AD712 PD711 BUFF 5V 100 1ms 100 90 90 10 10 0% 0% 500mV –10V ADC IN 200ns Figure 37. Transient Response RL = 2 kΩ, CL = 500 pF a. Source Current = 2 mA ACTIVE FILTER APPLICATIONS PD711 BUFF In active filter applications using op amps, the dc accuracy of the amplifier is critical to optimal filter performance. The amplifier’s offset voltage and bias current contribute to output error. Offset voltage will be passed by the filter and may be amplified to produce excessive output offset. For low frequency applications requiring large value input resistors, bias currents flowing through these resistors will also generate an offset voltage. 100 90 10 0% 500mV 200ns –5V ADC IN b. Sink Current = 1 mA Figure 35. ADC Input Unity Gain Buffer Recovery Times DRIVING A LARGE CAPACITIVE LOAD The circuit in Figure 36 employs a 100 Ω isolation resistor which enables the amplifier to drive capacitive loads exceeding 1500 pF; the resistor effectively isolates the high frequency feedback from the load and stabilizes the circuit. Low frequency feedback is returned to the amplifier summing junction via the low pass filter formed by the 100 Ω series resistor and the load capacitance, CL. Figure 37 shows a typical transient response for this connection. In addition, at higher frequencies, an op amp’s dynamics must be carefully considered. Here, slew rate, bandwidth, and open-loop gain play a major role in op amp selection. The slew rate must be fast as well as symmetrical to minimize distortion. The amplifier’s bandwidth in conjunction with the filter’s gain will dictate the frequency response of the filter. The use of a high performance amplifier such as the AD712 will minimize both dc and ac errors in all active filter applications. 4.99kV 30pF +VIN 0.1mF + – 4.99kV INPUT TYPICAL CAPACITANCE LIMIT FOR VARIOUS LOAD RESISTORS R1 C1 UP TO 2kV 10kV 20V 1500pF 1500pF 1000pF 1/2 AD712 100V C1 OUTPUT R1 0.1mF – + –VIN Figure 36.

Second Order Low Pass Filter An important property of filters is their out-of-band rejection. The simple 20 kHz low pass filter shown in Figure 38, might be used to condition a signal contaminated with clock pulses or sampling glitches which have considerable energy content at high frequencies. The low output impedance and high bandwidth of the AD712 minimize high frequency feedthrough as shown in Figure 39.

With a cutoff frequency of 50 kHz and better than 90 dB rejection, it may be used as an antialiasing filter for a 12-bit Data Acquisition System with 100 kHz throughput. As shown in Figure 40, the filter is comprised of four FDNRs (A, B, C, D) having values of 4.9395 3 10–15 and 5.9276 3 10–15 farad-seconds. Each FDNR active network provides a two-pole response; for a total of 8 poles. The 9th pole consists of a 0.001 µF capacitor and a 124 kΩ resistor at Pin 3 of amplifier A2. Figure 41 depicts the circuits for each FDNR with the proper selection of R. To achieve optimal performance, the 0.001 µF capacitors must be selected for 1% or better matching and all resistors should have 1% or better tolerance.
