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 does 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 a great choice 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.

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

mA5≤
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 to 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.

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 their fast settling time and fast slew rate, their low
offset voltage drift and input offset current maintain 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 from a
saturated condition to its linear region. 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. They are
capable of driving up to 1000 pF of capacitive loads without
oscillation in unity gain, the worst-case configuration.
However, as with most amplifiers, driving larger capacitive
loads in a unity gain configuration can cause excessive
overshoot and ringing or even oscillation. A simple snubber
network reduces the amount of overshoot and ringing
significantly. The advantage of this configuration is that the
output swing of the amplifier is not reduced, because R

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. They were compared to the OPA2132
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°.
The OPA2132, 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 the OPA2132, 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. There are some potential
problems with amplifiers used in this manner.
When the input voltage (V
magnitude of V
is doubled at the inputs of the op amp. This
IN
voltage can exceed the power supply voltage, which would damage
some amplifiers permanently. The op amp must come out of
saturation when V
is negative. This delays the output signal
IN
because the amplifier requires time to enter its linear region.
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 in keeping 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
D
where:
V is the desired output voltage of the op amp.
I
is the diode current.
D
For example, if ID is 100 μA and a 10 V output voltage is desired,
R2 should be 100 kΩ. Rd is a junction resistance that drops
typically by a factor of 2 for every 10°C increase in temperature.
A typical value for Rd is 1000 MΩ. Since Rd >> R2, the circuit
behavior is not impacted by the effect of the junction resistance.
The maximum signal bandwidth is

Signal Transmission Applications
One popular signal transmission method uses pulse-width
modulation. High data rates can require a fast comparator
rather than an op amp. However, the need for sharp and
undistorted signals can 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.

frequencies, namely a 100 Hz sine wave and a 1 kHz triangular

A pull-up resistor (typically 5 kΩ) can be connected from the

Crosstalk, also known as channel separation, is a measure of
signal feedthrough from one channel to the other on the same
IC. The AD8512/AD8513 have a channel separation better than
−90 dB for frequencies up to 10 kHz and better than −50 dB for
frequencies up to 10 MHz.
