The AD865x family consists of high precision, low noise, low
distortion, rail-to-rail CMOS operational amplifiers that run
from a single-supply voltage of 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
The AD865x family is made up of rail-to-rail input and output
amplifiers with a gain bandwidth of 50 MHz and a typical
voltage offset of 100 μV across common mode from a 5 V
supply. It also features low noise—4.5 nV/√Hz.
The AD865x family can be used in communications applications,
such as cell phone transmission power control, fiber optic
networking, wireless networking, and video line drivers.
The AD865x family features the newest generation of DigiTrim®
in-package trimming. This new generation measures and corrects
the offset over the entire input common-mode range, providing
less distortion from V
variation than is typical of other rail-to-
OS
rail amplifiers. Offset voltage and CMRR are both specified and
guaranteed over the entire common-mode range as well as over
the extended industrial temperature range.
The AD865x family is offered in the narrow 8-lead SOIC
package and the 8-lead MSOP package. The amplifiers are
specified over the extended industrial temperature range
(−40°C to +125°C).

APPLICATIONS
THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD865x family consists of voltage feedback, rail-to-rail
input and output precision CMOS amplifiers that operate from
2.7 V to 5.5 V of power supply voltage. These amplifiers use
Analog Devices, Inc. DigiTrim technology to achieve a higher
degree of precision than is available from most CMOS
amplifiers. DigiTrim technology, used in a number of Analog
Devices amplifiers, is a method of trimming the offset voltage of
the amplifier after it has been assembled. The advantage of
post-package trimming is that it corrects any offset voltages
caused by the mechanical stresses of assembly.
The AD865x family is available in standard op amp pinouts,
making DigiTrim completely transparent to the user. The input
stage of the amplifiers 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 open-loop gain
of the AD865x with a load of 1 kΩ is typically 115 dB.
The AD865x can be used in any precision op amp application.
The amplifiers do not exhibit phase reversal for common-mode
voltages within the power supply. With voltage noise of
4.5 nV/√Hz and –105 dB distortion for 10 kHz, 2 V p-p signals,
the AD865x is a great choice for high resolution data
acquisition systems. Their low noise, sub-pA input bias current,
precision offset, and high speed make them superb preamps for
fast photodiode applications. The speed and output drive
capabilities of the AD865x also make the amplifiers useful in
video applications.
Rail-to-Rail Output Stage
The voltage swing of the output stage is 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 proximity of the output voltage to the supply rail. This is a
characteristic of all rail-to-rail output amplifiers. With 40 mA of
output current, the output voltage can reach within 5 mV of the
positive and negative rails. At light loads of >100 kΩ, the output
swings within ~1 mV of the supplies.
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 approximately 1.5 V below the positive supply
voltage. A special design technique improves the input offset
voltage in the transition region that traditionally exhibits a
slight V
variation. As a result, the common-mode rejection
OS
ratio is improved within this transition band. Compared to the
Burr Brown OPA350 amplifier, shown in Figure 53, the
AD865x, shown in Figure 54, exhibits much lower offset voltage
shift across the entire input common-mode range, including the
transition region.

Voltage for the OPA350
Rail-to-Rail Input Stage
The input common-mode voltage range of the AD865x 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 of the common-mode range.

Input Protection
As with any semiconductor device, if a condition exists for the
input voltage to exceed the power supply, the device input
overvoltage characteristic must be considered. The inputs of the
AD865x family are protected with ESD diodes to either power
supply. Excess input voltage energizes internal PN junctions in
the AD865x, allowing current to flow from the input to the
supplies. This results in an input stage with picoamps of input
current that can withstand up to 4000 V ESD events (human
body model) with no degradation.
Excessive power dissipation through the protection devices
destroys or degrades the performance of any amplifier. Differential
voltages greater than 7 V result in an input current of approximately
(| V
– V
CC
| – 0.7 V)/RI, where RI is the resistance in series with
EE
the inputs. For input voltages beyond the positive supply, the
input current is approximately (V
– VCC – 0.7)/RI. For input
IN
voltages beyond the negative supply, the input current is about
(V
– VEE + 0.7)/RI. If the inputs of the amplifier sustain
IN
differential voltages greater than 7 V or input voltages beyond
the amplifier power supply, limit the input current to 10 mA by
using an appropriately sized input resistor (R
), as shown in
I
Figure 55.
Bypassing schemes are designed to minimize the supply
impedance at all frequencies with a parallel combination of
capacitors of 0.1 µF and 4.7 µF. Chip capacitors of 0.1 µF (X7R
or NPO) are critical and should be as close as possible to the
amplifier package. The 4.7 µF tantalum capacitor is less critical
for high frequency bypassing, and, in most cases, only one is
needed per board at the supply inputs.
Grounding
A ground plane layer is important for densely packed PC
boards to spread the current-minimizing parasitic inductances.
However, an understanding of where the current flows in a
circuit is critical to implementing effective high speed circuit
design. The length of the current path is directly proportional to
the magnitude of parasitic inductances and, therefore, the high
frequency impedance of the path. High speed currents in an
inductive ground return create an unwanted voltage noise.
The length of the high frequency bypass capacitor leads is
critical. A parasitic inductance in the bypass grounding works
against the low impedance created by the bypass capacitor.
Place the ground leads of the bypass capacitors at the same
physical location. Because load currents also flow from the
supplies, the ground for the load impedance should be at the
same physical location as the bypass capacitor grounds. For the
larger value capacitors, intended to be effective at lower
frequencies, the current return path distance is less critical.
Leakage Currents
Poor PC board layout, contaminants, and the board insulator
Figure 55. Input Protection Method
Overdrive Recovery
Overdrive recovery is defined as the time it takes for the output
material can create leakage currents that are much larger than the
input bias current of the AD865x family. Any voltage differential
between the inputs and nearby traces sets up leakage currents
through the PC board insulator, for example 1 V/100 G = 10 pA.
Similarly, any contaminants on the board can create significant
leakage (skin oils are a common problem).
of an amplifier to come off the supply rail after an overload signal is
initiated. This is usually tested by placing the amplifier in a closedloop gain of 15 with an input square wave of 200 mV p-p while the
amplifier is powered from either 5 V or 3 V. Th e AD865x family
has excellent recovery time from overload conditions (see Figure 31
and Figure 32). The output recovers from the positive supply rail
within 200 ns at all supply voltages. Recovery from the negative rail
is within 100 ns at 5 V supply.
To significantly reduce leakages, put a guard ring (shield)
around the inputs and the input leads that are driven to the
same voltage potential as the inputs. This ensures that there is
no voltage potential between the inputs and the surrounding
area to set up any leakage currents. To be effective, the guard
ring must be driven by a relatively low impedance source and
should completely surround the input leads on all sides, above
and below, using a multilayer board.
LAYOUT, GROUNDING, AND BYPASSING
CONSIDERATIONS
Power Supply Bypassing
Power supply pins can act as inputs for noise, so care must be
taken that a noise-free, stable dc voltage is applied. The purpose
of bypass capacitors is to create low impedances from the supply
to ground at all frequencies, thereby shunting or filtering most
of the noise.
Rev. D | Page 15 of 20
Another effect that can cause leakage currents is the charge
absorption of the insulator material itself. Minimizing the
amount of material between the input leads and the guard
ring helps to reduce the absorption. Also, low absorption
materials, such as Teflon® or ceramic, may be necessary in
some instances.

Input Capacitance
Along with bypassing and grounding, high speed amplifiers can be
sensitive to parasitic capacitance between the inputs and ground. A
few picofarads of capacitance reduces the input impedance at high
frequencies, which in turn increases the amplifier gain, causing
peaking in the frequency response or oscillations. With the
AD865x, additional input damping is required for stability with
capacitive loads greater than 47 pF with direct input to output
feedback (see the Output Capacitance section).
Output Capacitance
When using high speed amplifiers, it is important to consider
the effects of the capacitive loading on amplifier stability.
Capacitive loading interacts with the output impedance of the
amplifier, causing reduction of the BW as well as peaking and
ringing of the frequency response. To reduce the effects of the
capacitive loading and allow higher capacitive loads, there are
two commonly used methods.
•As shown in Figure 56, place a small value resistor (R
) in
S
series with the output to isolate the load capacitor from the
amplifier output. Heavy capacitive loads can reduce the
phase margin of an amplifier and cause the amplifier
response to peak or become unstable. The AD865x is able
to drive up to 47 pF in a unity gain buffer configuration
without oscillation or external compensation. However, if
an application requires a higher capacitive load drive when
the AD865x is in unity gain, the use of external isolation
networks can be used. The effect produced by this resistor
is to isolate the op amp output from the capacitive load.
The required amount of series resistance has been
tabulated in Table 5 for different capacitive loads. While
this technique improves the overall capacitive load drive
for the amplifier, its biggest drawback is that it reduces the
output swing of the overall circuit.
•Another way to stabilize an op amp driving a large capacitive
load is to use a snubber network, as shown in Figure 57. Because
there is not any isolation resistor in the signal path, this method
has the significant advantage of not reducing the output swing.

and CS are derived experimentally. In

Settling Time
The settling time of an amplifier is defined as the time it takes
for the output to respond to a step change of input and enter
and remain within a defined error band, as measured relative to
the 50% point of the input pulse. This parameter is especially
important in measurements and control circuits where amplifiers are used to buffer A/D inputs or DAC outputs. The design of
the AD865x family combines a high slew rate and a wide gain
bandwidth product to produce an amplifier with very fast
settling time. The AD865x is configured in the noninverting
gain of 1 with a 2 V p-p step applied to its input. The AD865x
family has a settling time of about 130 ns to 0.01% (2 mV). The
output is monitored with a 10×, 10 M, 11.2 pF scope probe.
THD Readings vs. Common-Mode Voltage
Total harmonic distortion of the AD865x family is well below
0.0004% with any load down to 600 Ω. The distortion is a
function of the circuit configuration, the voltage applied, and
the layout, in addition to other factors. The AD865x family
outperforms its competitor for distortion, especially at
frequencies below 20 kHz, as shown in Figure 58.

Driving a 16-Bit ADC
The AD865x family is an excellent choice for driving high
speed, high precision ADCs. The driver amplifier for this type
of application needs low THD + N as well as quick settling time.
Figure 61 shows a complete single-supply data acquisition
solution. The AD865x family drives the AD7685, a 250 kSPS,
16-bit data converter.

The AD865x is configured in an inverting gain of 1 with a 5 V
single supply. Input of 45 kHz is applied, and the ADC samples
at 250 kSPS. The results of this solution are listed in Tab le 6.
The advantage of this circuit is that the amplifier and ADC can
be powered with the same power supply. For the case of
a noninverting gain of 1, the input common-mode voltage
encompasses both supplies.
