GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8601, AD8602, and AD8604 are single, dual, and quad
rail-to-rail input and output single-supply amplifiers featuring very
low offset voltage and wide signal bandwidth. These amplifiers
use a new, patented trimming technique that achieves superior
performance without laser trimming. All are fully specified to
operate on a 3 V to 5 V single supply.
The combination of low offsets, very low input bias currents,
and high speed make these amplifiers useful in a wide variety of
applications. Filters, integrators, diode amplifiers, shunt current
sensors, and high impedance sensors all benefit from the combination of performance features. Audio and other ac applications
benefit from the wide bandwidth and low distortion. For the
most cost-sensitive applications, the D grades offer this ac performance with lower dc precision at a lower price point.
Applications for these amplifiers include audio amplification for
portable devices, portable phone headsets, bar code scanners,
portable instruments, cellular PA controls, and multipole filters.
The ability to swing rail-to-rail at both the input and output
enables designers to buffer CMOS ADCs, DACs, ASICs, and
other wide output swing devices in single-supply systems.

CAUTION
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 the
AD8601/AD8602/AD8604 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.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD8601/AD8602/AD8604 family of amplifiers are rail-torail input and output precision CMOS amplifiers that operate
from 2.7 V to 5.0 V of power supply voltage. These amplifiers
®
use Analog Devices’ DigiTrim
technology to achieve a higher
degree of precision than available from most CMOS amplifiers.
DigiTrim technology is a method of trimming the offset voltage of the amplifier after it has already been assembled. The
advantage in post-package trimming lies in the fact that it corrects any offset voltages due to the mechanical stresses of
assembly. This technology is scalable and used with every
package option, including SOT-23-5, providing lower offset
voltages than previously achieved in these small packages.
The DigiTrim process is done at the factory and does not add
additional pins to the amplifier. All AD860x amplifiers are
available in standard op amp pinouts, making DigiTrim completely transparent to the user. The AD860x can be used in any
precision op amp application.
The input stage of the amplifier is a true rail-to-rail architecture,
allowing the input common-mode voltage range of the op amp
to extend to both positive and negative supply rails. The voltage
swing of the output stage is also rail-to-rail and is achieved by
using an NMOS and PMOS transistor pair connected in a common-source configuration. The maximum output voltage swing
is proportional to the output current, and larger currents will
limit how close the output voltage can get to the supply rail.
This is a characteristic of all rail-to-rail output amplifiers. With
1 mA of output current, the output voltage can reach within
20 mV of the positive rail and within 15 mV of the negative rail.
At light loads of >100 kΩ, the output swings within ~1 mV of
the supplies.
The open-loop gain of the AD860x is 80 dB, typical, with a load
of 2 kΩ. Because of the rail-to-rail output configuration, the
gain of the output stage and the open-loop gain of the amplifier
are dependent on the load resistance. Open-loop gain will decrease with smaller load resistances. Again, this is a characteristic
inherent to all rail-to-rail output amplifiers.
REV. D
Rail-to-Rail Input Stage
The input common-mode voltage range of the AD860x extends
to both positive and negative supply voltages. This maximizes the
usable voltage range of the amplifier, an important feature for
single-supply and low voltage applications. This rail-to-rail
input range is achieved by using two input differential pairs, one
NMOS and one PMOS, placed in parallel. The NMOS pair is
active at the upper end of the common-mode voltage range, and
the PMOS pair is active at the lower end.
The NMOS and PMOS input stages are separately trimmed
using DigiTrim to minimize the offset voltage in both differential pairs. Both NMOS and PMOS input differential pairs are
active in a 500 mV transition region, when the input commonmode voltage is between approximately 1.5 V and 1 V below the
positive supply voltage. Input offset voltage will shift slightly in
this transition region, as shown in TPCs 5 and 6. Commonmode rejection ratio will also be slightly lower when the input
common-mode voltage is within this transition band. Compared
to the Burr Brown OPA2340 rail-to-rail input amplifier, shown
in Figure 1, the AD860x, shown in Figure 2, exhibits lower
offset voltage shift across the entire input common-mode range,
including the transition region.

Input Overvoltage Protection
As with any semiconductor device, if a condition could exist
that would cause the input voltage to exceed the power supply,
the device’s input overvoltage characteristic must be considered.
Excess input voltage will energize internal PN junctions in the
AD860x, allowing current to flow from the input to the supplies.
This input current will not damage the amplifier, provided it is
limited to 5 mA or less. This can be ensured by placing a resistor in series with the input. For example, if the input voltage
could exceed the supply by 5 V, the series resistor should be at
least (5 V/5 mA) = 1 kΩ. With the input voltage within the
supply rails, a minimal amount of current is drawn into the
inputs, which, in turn, causes a negligible voltage drop across
the series resistor. Therefore, adding the series resistor will
not adversely affect circuit performance.
Overdrive Recovery
Overdrive recovery is defined as the time it takes the output of
an amplifier to come off the supply rail when recovering from
an overload signal. This is tested by placing the amplifier in a
closed-loop gain of 10 with an input square wave of 2 V p-p while
the amplifier is powered from either 5 V or 3 V.
The AD860x has excellent recovery time from overload conditions. The output recovers from the positive supply rail within
200 ns at all supply voltages. Recovery from the negative rail is
within 500 ns at 5 V supply, decreasing to within 350 ns when
the device is powered from 2.7 V.
Power-On Time
Power-on time is important in portable applications, where the
supply voltage to the amplifier may be toggled to shut down the
device to improve battery life. Fast power-up behavior ensures
that the output of the amplifier will quickly settle to its final
voltage, improving the power-up speed of the entire system.
Once the supply voltage reaches a minimum of 2.5 V, the AD860x
will settle to a valid output within 1 µs. This turn-on response
time is faster than many other precision amplifiers, which can
take tens or hundreds of microseconds for their outputs to settle.
Using the AD8602 in High Source Impedance Applications
The CMOS rail-to-rail input structure of the AD860x allows
these amplifiers to have very low input bias currents, typically
0.2 pA. This allows the AD860x to be used in any application
that has a high source impedance or must use large value resistances around the amplifier. For example, the photodiode
amplifier circuit shown in Figure 3 requires a low input bias
current op amp to reduce output voltage error. The AD8601
minimizes offset errors due to its low input bias current and low
offset voltage.
The current through the photodiode is proportional to the incident light power on its surface. The 4.7 MΩ resistor converts
this current into a voltage, with the output of the AD8601
increasing at 4.7 V/µA. The feedback capacitor reduces excess
noise at higher frequencies by limiting the bandwidth of the
circuit to

High- and Low-Side Precision Current Monitoring
Because of its low input bias current and low offset voltage, the
AD860x can be used for precision current monitoring. The true
rail-to-rail input feature of the AD860x allows the amplifier to
monitor current on either high-side or low-side. Using both
amplifiers in an AD8602 provides a simple method for monitoring
both current supply and return paths for load or fault detection. Figures 4 and 5 demonstrate both circuits.

Voltage drop is created across the 0.1 Ω resistor that is proportional to the load current. This voltage appears at the inverting

op amp. This creates a current through R1 which, in turn, pulls
current through R2. For the low-side monitor, the monitor

Using the AD8601 in Single-Supply Mixed-Signal Applications
Single-supply mixed-signal applications requiring 10 or more
bits of resolution demand both a minimum of distortion and a
maximum range of voltage swing to optimize performance. To
ensure that the A/D or D/A converters achieve their best performance, an amplifier often must be used for buffering or signal
conditioning. The 750 µV maximum offset voltage of the
AD8601 allows the amplifier to be used in 12-bit applications
powered from a 3 V single supply, and its rail-to-rail input
and output ensure no signal clipping.
Figure 6 shows the AD8601 used as an input buffer amplifier to
the AD7476, a 12-bit 1 MHz A/D converter. As with most A/D
converters, total harmonic distortion (THD) increases with
higher source impedances. By using the AD8601 in a buffer
configuration, the low output impedance of the amplifier minimizes THD while the high input impedance and low bias current
of the op amp minimizes errors due to source impedance. The
8 MHz gain-bandwidth product of the AD8601 ensures no
signal attenuation up to 500 kHz, which is the maximum Nyquist
frequency for the AD7476.
The AD8601, AD7476, and AD5320 are all available in spacesaving SOT-23 packages.
PC100 Compliance for Computer Audio Applications
Because of its low distortion and rail-to-rail input and output,
the AD860x is an excellent choice for low-cost, single-supply
audio applications, ranging from microphone amplification to
line output buffering. TPC 34 shows the total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD + N) figures for the AD860x. In unity
gain, the amplifier has a typical THD + N of 0.004%, or –86 dB,
even with a load resistance of 600 Ω. This is compliant with the
PC100 specification requirements for audio in both portable
and desktop computers.
Figure 8 shows how an AD8602 can be interfaced with an AC’97
codec to drive the line output. Here, the AD8602 is used as a
unity-gain buffer from the left and right outputs of the AC’97
codec. The 100 µF output coupling capacitors block dc current and the 20 Ω series resistors protect the amplifier from
short circuits at the jack.

Figure 7 demonstrates how the AD8601 can be used as an output
buffer for the DAC for driving heavy resistive loads. The AD5320
is a 12-bit D/A converter that can be used with clock frequencies up to 30 MHz and signal frequencies up to 930 kHz. The
rail-to-rail output of the AD8601 allows it to swing within 100 mV
of the positive supply rail while sourcing 1 mA of current. The
total current drawn from the circuit is less than 1 mA, or 3 mW
from a 3 V single supply.

SPICE Model
The SPICE macro-model for the AD860x amplifier is available
and can be downloaded from the Analog Devices website at
www.analog.com. The model will accurately simulate a number
of both dc and ac parameters, including open-loop gain,
bandwidth, phase margin, input voltage range, output voltage
swing versus output current, slew rate, input voltage noise,
CMRR, PSRR, and supply current versus supply voltage. The
model is optimized for performance at 27°C. Although it will
function at different temperatures, it may lose accuracy with
respect to the actual behavior of the AD860x.
