The AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 are single-, dual-, and quadprecision JFET amplifiers that feature low offset voltage, input
bias current, input voltage noise, and input current noise.
The combination of low offsets, low noise, and very low input
bias currents makes these amplifiers especially suitable for high
impedance sensor amplification and precise current measurements
using shunts. The combination of dc precision, low noise, and
fast settling time results in superior accuracy in medical
instruments, electronic measurement, and automated test
equipment. Unlike many competitive amplifiers, the AD8510/
AD8512/AD8513 maintain their fast settling performance even
with substantial capacitive loads. Unlike many older JFET
amplifiers, the AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 do not suffer from
output phase reversal when input voltages exceed the maximum
common-mode voltage range.
Fast slew rate and great stability with capacitive loads make the
AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 a perfect fit for high performance
filters. Low input bias currents, low offset, and low noise result
in a wide dynamic range of photodiode amplifier circuits. Low
noise and distortion, high output current, and excellent speed
make the AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 great choices for audio
applications.
The AD8510/AD8512 are both available in 8-lead narrow SOIC_N
and 8-lead MSOP packages. MSOP-packaged parts are only
available in tape and reel. The AD8513 is available in 14-lead
SOIC_N and TSSOP packages.
The AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 are specified over the −40°C to
+125°C extended industrial temperature range.

The AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 have internal protective
circuitry that allows voltages as high as 0.7 V beyond the
supplies to be applied at the input of either terminal without
causing damage. For higher input voltages, a series resistor is
necessary to limit the input current. The resistor value can be
determined from the formula
VV
−
IN
S
R
S
With a very low offset current of <0.5 nA up to 125°C, higher
resistor values can be used in series with the inputs. A 5 kΩ
resistor protects the inputs from voltages as high as 25 V
beyond the supplies and adds less than 10 µV to the offset.
OUTPUT PHASE REVERSAL
Phase reversal is a change of polarity in the transfer function of
the amplifier. This can occur when the voltage applied at the
input of an amplifier exceeds the maximum common-mode
voltage.
Phase reversal can cause permanent damage to the device and
can result in system lockups. The AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 do
not exhibit phase reversal when input voltages are beyond the
supplies.

TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION (THD) + NOISE
The AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 have low THD and excellent gain
linearity, making these amplifiers great choices for precision
circuits with high closed-loop gain and for audio application
circuits. Figure 42 shows that the AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 have
approximately 0.0005% of total distortion when configured in
positive unity gain (the worst case) and driving a 100 kΩ load.

The low input current noise and input bias current of the
AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 make them the ideal amplifiers for
circuits with substantial input source resistance. Input offset

SETTLING TIME
Settling time is the time it takes the output of the amplifier to
reach and remain within a percentage of its final value after a
pulse is applied at the input. The AD8510/AD8512/AD8513
settle to within 0.01% in less than 900 ns with a step of 0 V to
10 V in unity gain. This makes each of these parts an excellent
choice as a buffer at the output of DACs whose settling time is
typically less than 1 µs.
In addition to the fast settling time and fast slew rate, low offset
voltage drift and input offset current maintain the full accuracy
of 12-bit converters over the entire operating temperature range.
OVERLOAD RECOVERY TIME
Overload recovery, also known as overdrive recovery, is the
time it takes the output of an amplifier to recover to its linear
region from a saturated condition. This recovery time is particularly important in applications where the amplifier must
amplify small signals in the presence of large transient voltages.
Figure 43 shows the positive overload recovery of the AD8510/
AD8512/AD8513. The output recovers in approximately 200 ns
from a saturated condition.

CAPACITIVE LOAD DRIVE
The AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 are unconditionally stable at all
gains in inverting and noninverting configurations. Each device
is capable of driving a capacitive load of up to 1000 pF without
oscillation in unity gain using the worst-case configuration.
However, as with most amplifiers, driving larger capacitive
loads in a unity gain configuration may cause excessive
overshoot and ringing, or even oscillation. A simple snubber
network significantly reduces the amount of overshoot and
ringing. The advantage of this configuration is that the output
swing of the amplifier is not reduced, because R

In addition to the fast recovery time, the AD8510/AD8512/

recovery times. This is an important feature for transient signal
rectification because the output signal is kept equally undistorted
throughout any given period.

OPEN-LOOP GAIN AND PHASE RESPONSE
In addition to their impressive low noise, low offset voltage, and
offset current, the AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 have excellent
loop gain and phase response even when driving large resistive
and capacitive loads.
Compared with Competitor A (see Figure 49) under the same
conditions, with a 2.5 kΩ load at the output, the AD8510/AD8512/
AD8513 have more than 8 MHz of bandwidth and a phase margin
of more than 52°.
Competitor A, on the other hand, has only 4.5 MHz of bandwidth and 28° of phase margin under the same test conditions.
Even with a 1 nF capacitive load in parallel with the 2 kΩ load
at the output, the AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 show much better
response than Competitor A, whose phase margin is degraded
to less than 0, indicating oscillation.

PRECISION RECTIFIERS
Rectifying circuits are used in a multitude of applications. One
of the most popular uses is in the design of regulated power
supplies, where a rectifier circuit is used to convert an input
sinusoid to a unipolar output voltage.
However, there are some potential problems with amplifiers
used in this manner. When the input voltage (V
the output is zero, and the magnitude of V
inputs of the op amp. If this voltage exceeds the power supply
voltage, it may permanently damage some amplifiers. In addition,
the op amp must come out of saturation when V
This delays the output signal because the amplifier requires
time to enter its linear region.
Although the AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 have a very fast
overdrive recovery time, which makes them great choices for the
rectification of transient signals, the symmetry of the positive
and negative recovery times is also important to keep the output
signal undistorted.
Figure 50 shows the test circuit of the rectifier. The first stage of
the circuit is a half-wave rectifier. When the sine wave applied at
the input is positive, the output follows the input response.
During the negative cycle of the input, the output tries to swing
negative to follow the input, but the power supply restrains it to
zero. In a similar fashion, the second stage is a follower during
the positive cycle of the sine wave and an inverter during the
negative cycle.

I-V CONVERSION APPLICATIONS
Photodiode Circuits
Common applications for I-V conversion include photodiode
circuits where the amplifier is used to convert a current emitted
by a diode placed at the positive input terminal into an output
voltage.
The AD8510/AD8512/AD8513’s low input bias current, wide
bandwidth, and low noise make them each an excellent choice
for various photodiode applications, including fax machines,
fiber optic controls, motion sensors, and bar code readers.
The circuit shown in Figure 53 uses a silicon diode with zero
bias voltage. This is known as a photovoltaic mode; this
configuration limits the overall noise and is suitable for
instrumentation applications.
A larger signal bandwidth can be attained at the expense of
additional output noise. The total input capacitance (Ct)
consists of the sum of the diode capacitance (typically 3 pF to
4 pF) and the amplifier’s input capacitance (12 pF), which
includes external parasitic capacitance. Ct creates a pole in the
frequency response that can lead to an unstable system. To
ensure stability and optimize the bandwidth of the signal, a
capacitor is placed in the feedback loop of the circuit shown in
Figure 53. It creates a zero and yields a bandwidth whose corner
frequency is 1/(2π(R2Cf)).
The value of R2 can be determined by the ratio
V/I

V is the desired output voltage of the op amp.

A typical value for Rd is 1000 MΩ. Because Rd >> R2, the

Using the previous parameters with a Cf ≈ 1 pF, the signal
bandwidth is approximately 2.6 MHz.
Signal Transmission Applications
One popular signal transmission method uses pulse-width
modulation. High data rates may require a fast comparator
rather than an op amp. However, the need for sharp, undistorted
signals may favor using a linear amplifier.
The AD8510/AD8512/AD8513 make excellent voltage
comparators. In addition to a high slew rate, the AD8510/
AD8512/AD8513 have a very fast saturation recovery time. In
the absence of feedback, the amplifiers are in open-loop mode
(very high gain). In this mode of operation, they spend much of
their time in saturation.
The circuit shown in Figure 54 was used to compare two signals
of different frequencies, namely a 100 Hz sine wave and a 1 kHz
triangular wave. Figure 55 shows a scope plot of the resulting
output waveforms. A pull-up resistor (typically 5 kΩ) can be
connected from the output to V
if the output voltage needs to

reach the positive rail. The trade-off is that power consumption
is higher.

The AD8510 single has two additional active terminals that are
not present on the AD8512 dual or AD8513 quad parts. These
pins are labeled “null” and are used for fine adjustment of the
input offset voltage. Although the guaranteed maximum offset
voltage at room temperature is 400 µV and over the −40°C to
+125°C range is 800 mV maximum, this offset voltage can be
reduced by adding a potentiometer to the null pins as shown in

Crosstalk
Crosstalk, also known as channel separation, is a measure of
signal feedthrough from one channel to another on the same
IC. The AD8512/AD8513 have a channel separation of better
than −90 dB for frequencies up to 10 kHz and of better than
−50 dB for frequencies up to 10 MHz. Figure 57 shows the
typical channel separation behavior between Amplifier A

Figure 58. With the 20 k potentiometer shown, the adjustment
range is approximately ±3.5 mV. The potentiometer parallels
low value resistors in the drain circuit of the JFET differential
input pair and allows unbalancing of the drain currents to
change the offset voltage. If offset adjustment is not required,
these pins should be left unconnected.
Caution should be used when adding adjusting potentiometers to
any op amp with this capability for several reasons. First, there is
gain from these nodes to the output; therefore, capacitive coupling
from noisy traces to these nodes will inject noise into the signal
path. Second, the temperature coefficient of the potentiometer
will not match the temperature coefficient of the internal resistors,
so the offset voltage drift with temperature will be slightly affected.
Third, this provision is for adjusting the offset voltage of the
op amp, not for adjusting the offset of the overall system. Although
it is tempting to decrease the value of the potentiometer to attain
more range, this will adversely affect the dc and ac parameters.
Instead, increase the potentiometer to 50 kΩ to decrease the
range if needed.
