GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8506 is a dual micropower amplifier featuring rail-torail input and output swings while operating from a 1.8 V to 5.5 V
single power supply.
Using a novel circuit technology, these low cost amplifiers offer
ero crossover distortion (excellent PSRR and CMRR perform-
z
ance) and very low bias current, while operating with a supply
current of less than 20 μA per amplifier. This amplifier offers
the lowest noise in its power class.
This combination of features makes the AD8506 amplifier an
deal choice for battery-powered applications because it mini-
i
mizes errors due to power supply voltage variations over the
AD8506

Remote battery-powered sensors, handheld instrumentation
a
nd consumer equipment, hazard detection (for example, smoke,
fire, and gas), and patient monitors can benefit from the features
of the AD8506 amplifier.
The AD8506 is specified for both the industrial temperature
r
ange of −40°C to +85°C and the extended industrial temperature
range of −40°C to +125°C. AD8506 dual amplifiers are available
in 8-lead MSOP packages.
