GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8538 is a very high precision amplifier featuring
extremely low offset voltage, low input bias current, and low
power consumption. The supply current is less than 180 μA at
5.0 V. Operation is fully specified from 2.7 V to 5.0 V single
supply (±1.35 V to ±2.5 V dual supply).
The AD8538 operates using very low power making this
amplifier ideal for battery-powered devices and portable
equipment.
The AD8538 is specified over the extended industrial temperature
range (−40°C to +125°C). The AD8538 amplifier is available in
5-lead TSOT-23, and 8-lead, narrow body SOIC packages.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
Absolute maximum ratings apply at 25°C, unless otherwise
noted.
THERMAL RESISTANCE

soldered in a circuit board for surface-mount packages.
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on
the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features
proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy
electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance
degradation or loss of functionality.
