GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD824 is a quad, FET input, single supply amplifier,
featuring rail-to-rail outputs. The combination of FET inputs
and rail-to-rail outputs makes the AD824 useful in a wide
variety of low voltage applications where low input current is
a primary consideration.
The AD824 is guaranteed to operate from a 3 V single supply
up to ±15 V dual supplies. AD824AR-3V parametric
performance at 3 V is fully guaranteed.
Fabricated on Analog Devices, Inc., complementary bipolar
process, the AD824 has a unique input stage that allows the
input voltage to safely extend beyond the negative supply and
to the positive supply without any phase inversion or latch-up.
The output voltage swings to within 15 mV of the supplies.
Capacitive loads to 350 pF can be handled without oscillation.
The FET input combined with laser trimming provides an input
that has extremely low bias currents with guaranteed offsets
below 1 mV. This enables high accuracy designs even with high
source impedances. Precision is combined with low noise,
making the AD824 ideal for use in battery powered medical
equipment.
Applications for the AD824 include portable medical
equipment, photo diode preamplifiers, and high impedance
transducer amplifiers.
The ability of the output to swing rail-to-rail enables designers
to build multistage filters in single supply systems and maintain
high signal-to-noise ratios.
The AD824 is specified over the extended industrial (−40°C to
+85°C) temperature range and is available in narrow 14-lead
SOIC package.

THEORY OF OPERATION
INPUT CHARACTERISTICS
In the AD824, n-channel JFETs are used to provide a low offset,
low noise, high impedance input stage. Minimum input
common-mode voltage extends from 0.2 V below −VS to 1 V
less than +VS. Driving the input voltage closer to the positive
rail causes a loss of amplifier bandwidth.
The AD824 does not exhibit phase reversal for input voltages up
to and including +VS. Figure 30a shows the response of an
AD824 voltage follower to a 0 V to 5 V (+VS) square wave input.
The input and output are superimposed. The output tracks the
input up to +VS without phase reversal. The reduced bandwidth
above a 4 V input causes the rounding of the output waveform.
For input voltages greater than +VS, a resistor in series with the
noninverting input prevents phase reversal at the expense of
greater input voltage noise. This is illustrated in Figure 30b.

Because the input stage uses n-channel JFETs, input current
during normal operation is positive; the current flows out from
the input terminals. If the input voltage is driven more positive
than +VS − 0.4 V, the input current reverses direction as internal
device junctions become forward biased. This is illustrated in
Figure 10.
Use a current-limiting resistor in series with the input of the
AD824 if there is a possibility of the input voltage exceeding the
positive supply by more than 300 mV or if an input voltage will
be applied to the AD824 when ±VS = 0 V. The amplifier will be
damaged if left in that condition for more than 10 seconds. A
1 kΩ resistor allows the amplifier to withstand up to 10 V of
continuous overvoltage and increases the input voltage noise by
a negligible amount.
Input voltages less than −VS are a completely different story. The
amplifier can safely withstand input voltages 20 V below the
−VS as long as the total voltage from the +VS to the input termi-
nal is less than 36 V. In addition, the input stage typically maintains
picoamp level input currents across that input voltage range.
OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
The unique bipolar rail-to-rail output stage of the AD824
swings within 15 mV of the positive and negative supply
voltages. The approximate output saturation resistance of the
AD824 is 100 Ω for both sourcing and sinking. This can be used
to estimate output saturation voltage when driving heavier
current loads. For instance, the saturation voltage is 0.5 V from
either supply with a 5 mA current load.
For load resistances over 20 kΩ, the input error voltage of the
AD824 is virtually unchanged until the output voltage is driven
to 180 mV of either supply.
If the output of the AD824 is overdriven to saturate either of the
output devices, the amplifier will recover within 2 μs of its input
returning to the amplifier’s linear operating region.
Direct capacitive loads will interact with the amplifier’s effective
output impedance to form an additional pole in the amplifier’s
feedback loop, which can cause excessive peaking on the pulse
response or loss of stability. Worst case is when the amplifier is
used as a unity gain follower. Figure 6 and Figure 8 show the
pulse response of the AD824 as a unity gain follower driving
220 pF. Configurations with less loop gain, and as a result less
loop bandwidth, will be much less sensitive to capacitance load
effects. Noise gain is the inverse of the feedback attenuation
factor provided by the feedback network in use.
Figure 31 shows a method for extending capacitance load drive
capability for a unity gain follower. With these component
values, the circuit drives 5,000 pF with a 10% overshoot.

The circuit shown in Figure 32 uses the AD824 to drive a low
power timer, which produces a stable pulse of width, t1. The
positive going output pulse is integrated by R1 and C1 and used
as one input to the AD824, which is connected as a differential
integrator. The other input (nonloading) is the unknown
voltage, VIN. The AD824 output drives the timer trigger input,
closing the overall feedback loop.

Typical AD824 bias currents of 2 pA allow MΩ range source
impedances with negligible dc errors. Linearity errors of 0.01%
full scale can be achieved with this circuit. This performance is
obtained with a 5 V single supply, which delivers less than 3 mA
to the entire circuit.

The AD824 can be configured as a single supply instrumenta-

currents of 2 pA minimize offset errors caused by high
unbalanced source impedances.
An array of precision thin-film resistors sets the in amp gain to
be either 10 or 100. These resistors are laser-trimmed to ratio
match to 0.01% and have a maximum differential TC of
5 ppm/°C.

3 V, SINGLE SUPPLY STEREO HEADPHONE DRIVER
The AD824 exhibits good current drive and THD + N
performance, even at 3 V single supplies. At 1 kHz, total
harmonic distortion plus noise (THD + N) equals −62 dB
(0.079%) for a 300 mV p-p output signal. This is comparable
to other single supply op amps that consume more power and
cannot run on 3 V power supplies.
In Figure 35, each channel’s input signal is coupled via a 1 µF
Mylar capacitor. Resistor dividers set the dc voltage at the
noninverting inputs so that the output voltage is midway
between the power supplies (1.5 V). The gain is 1.5. Each half of
the AD824 can then be used to drive a headphone channel. A
5 Hz high-pass filter is realized by the 500 µF capacitors and the
headphones, which can be modeled as 32 Ω load resistors to
ground. This ensures that all signals in the audio frequency
range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) are delivered to the headphones.

A 3.3 V/5 V PRECISION SAMPLE-AND-HOLD
AMPLIFIER
In battery-powered applications, low supply voltage operational
amplifiers are required for low power consumption. Also, low
supply voltage applications limit the signal range in precision
analog circuitry. Circuits like the sample-and-hold circuit
shown in Figure 37 illustrate techniques for designing precision
analog circuitry in low supply voltage applications. To maintain
high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) in a low supply voltage
application requires the use of rail-to-rail, input/output
operational amplifiers. This design highlights the ability of the
AD824 to operate rail-to-rail from a single 3 V/5 V supply, with
the advantages of high input impedance. The AD824, a quad
JFET-input op amp, is well suited to sample-and-hold circuits
due to its low input bias currents (3 pA, typical) and high input
impedances (3 × 1013 Ω, typical). The AD824 also exhibits very
low supply currents so the total supply current in this circuit is
less than 2.5 mA.

Figure 37. 3.3 V/5.5 V Precision Sample-and-Hold Circuit
In many single supply applications, the use of a false ground
generator is required. In this circuit, R1 and R2 divide the
supply voltage symmetrically, creating the false ground voltage
at one-half the supply. Amplifier A1 then buffers this voltage
creating a low impedance output drive. The sample-and-hold
circuit is configured in an inverting topology centered around
this false ground level.
A design consideration in sample-and-hold circuits is voltage
droop at the output caused by op amp bias and switch leakage
currents. By choosing an JFET op amp and a low leakage CMOS
switch, this design minimizes droop rate error to better than
0.1 µV/µs in this circuit. Higher values of CH will yield a lower
droop rate. For best performance, CH and C2 should be
polystyrene, polypropylene or Teflon capacitors.
These types of capacitors exhibit low leakage and low dielectric
absorption. Additionally, 1% metal film resistors were used
throughout the design.
In the sample mode, SW1 and SW4 are closed, and the output is
VOUT = −VIN. The purpose of SW4, which operates in parallel
with SW1, is to reduce the pedestal, or hold step, error by
injecting the same amount of charge into the noninverting
input of A3 that SW1 injects into the inverting input of A3. This
creates a common-mode voltage across the inputs of A3 and is
then rejected by the CMR of A3; otherwise, the charge injection
from SW1 creates a differential voltage step error that appears at
VOUT. The pedestal error for this circuit is less than 2 mV over
the entire 0 V to 3.3 V/5 V signal range. Another method of
reducing pedestal error is to reduce the pulse amplitude applied
to the control pins. To control the ADG513, only 2.4 V are
required for the on state and 0.8 V for the off state. If possible,
use an input control signal whose amplitude ranges from 0.8 V
to 2.4 V instead of a full range 0 V to 3.3 V/5 V for minimum
pedestal error.
Other circuit features include an acquisition time of less than
3 µs to 1%; reducing CH and C2 will speed up the acquisition
time further, but an increased pedestal error will result. Settling
time is less than 300 ns to 1%, and the sample-mode signal BW
is 80 kHz.
The ADG513 was chosen for its ability to work with 3 V/5 V
supplies and for having normally open and normally closed
precision CMOS switches on a dielectrically isolated process.
SW2 is not required in this circuit; however, it was used in
parallel with SW3 to provide a lower RON analog switch.
