GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8659 is a Quad, micropower, precision, rail-to-rail
input/output amplifier optimized for low power and wide
operating supply voltage range applications.
The AD8659 operates from 2.7 V up to 18 V with a typical
quiescent supply current of 18 μA. It uses Analog Devices, Inc.,
patented DigiTrim® trimming technique, which achieves low
offset voltage. The AD8659 also has high immunity to
electromagnetic interference.
The combination of low supply current, low offset voltage, very
low input bias current, wide supply range, and rail-to-rail input
and output make the AD8659 ideal for current monitoring and
current loops in process and motor control applications. The
combination of precision specifications makes this device ideal
for dc gain and buffering of sensor front ends or high impedance
input sources in wireless or remote sensors or transmitters.
