Product details
Overview
AD745JN from Analog Devices (manufactured under license by Rochester Electronics) is an ultralow-noise, high-speed BiFET operational amplifier with FET-input architecture, 20 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 12.5 V/µs slew rate, and no output phase reversal - used in precision instrumentation front-ends and high-fidelity signal conditioning paths.
For engineers reviewing the AD745JN datasheet, AD745JN pinout, AD745JN application, or AD745JN equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage noise density (2.9 nV/√Hz), input bias current (25 pA max), dc precision (0.5 mV max input offset voltage), and stability in unity-gain configurations without external compensation.
Technical Context
The AD745JN employs a hybrid bipolar-FET input stage to simultaneously achieve low input current (25 pA max at ±15 V) and low voltage noise (2.9 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz), enabling high-resolution measurement in sensor interfaces where both speed and dc accuracy are critical. Its internal compensation ensures stable operation at unity gain without external components.
It features rail-to-rail output swing within 1.5 V of supply rails (±15 V), operates over ±4.5 V to ±18 V supplies, and maintains monotonic phase response up to 20 MHz - eliminating output polarity inversion during input overdrive, a known failure mode in older FET op amps.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 20 MHz - supports closed-loop bandwidth up to 20 MHz at unity gain, suitable for fast pulse amplification and active filter design. |
| Slew Rate | 12.5 V/µs - enables faithful reproduction of signals with rise times down to ~250 ns without distortion. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 2.9 nV/√Hz @ 1 kHz - preserves SNR in low-level transducer signal chains (e.g., strain gauge, piezoelectric sensors). |
| Input Bias Current | 25 pA max @ ±15 V - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance sources (e.g., photodiode, pH electrode). |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.5 mV max - ensures ≤0.003% full-scale error in 16-bit data acquisition systems with ±10 V input range. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4.5 V to ±18 V - compatible with standard industrial dual-rail supplies and allows headroom for ±12 V or ±15 V operation. |
Pinout & Package
AD745JN is supplied in an 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package) with 0.3-inch body width and standard through-hole footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null | Connects to external potentiometer for fine-tuning input offset voltage; unused in most applications. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–) | High-impedance FET input node; requires guarded layout to preserve 25 pA bias current spec. |
| 3 | Noninverting Input (+) | High-impedance FET input node; matched to Pin 2 for common-mode rejection. |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply terminal; must be decoupled with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near package. |
| 5 | Offset Null | Second terminal of offset null network; tied to wiper of 10 kΩ potentiometer with ends at Pins 1 and 5. |
| 6 | Output | Capacitive-load tolerant output capable of driving ≥500 pF without oscillation. |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply terminal; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling for high-frequency stability. |
| 8 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; must remain floating per datasheet. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No output phase reversal | Eliminates catastrophic polarity inversion during input overdrive - critical for closed-loop control and safety-critical monitoring circuits. |
| Internal unity-gain compensation | Enables stable operation without external compensation components, reducing BOM count and PCB area in gain-of-one buffers. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers >27 Vpp output into 2 kΩ load with ±15 V supplies - maximizes dynamic range in analog-to-digital interface stages. |
| Low input capacitance (3 pF) | Minimizes peaking and phase shift in high-Z sensor interfaces, preserving frequency response up to 20 MHz. |
Applications
| Medical Instrumentation | Test & Measurement Equipment |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, low-noise op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA134PA | Lower noise (1.1 nV/√Hz), lower GBW (8 MHz), higher input bias current (100 pA) | Better for audio-grade low-noise but unsuitable for >5 MHz signal paths | Select OPA134PA only when bandwidth <8 MHz suffices and ultra-low noise dominates over speed. |
| LT1357CN8#PBF | Higher slew rate (1000 V/µs), higher noise (4.5 nV/√Hz), no phase reversal guarantee | Preferred for pulse amplification >100 ns edges but requires careful layout to manage noise | Choose LT1357CN8#PBF when edge speed is primary; accept 1.6× higher noise for 80× faster slew. |
Compared with OPA134PA and LT1357CN8#PBF, the AD745JN uniquely balances 20 MHz bandwidth, 2.9 nV/√Hz noise, and guaranteed no-phase-reversal behavior - making it the only option among the three qualified for simultaneous high-speed, high-precision, and fail-safe sensor front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the AD745JN?
The AD745JN supports dual supply voltages from ±4.5 V to ±18 V. Operation beyond ±18 V risks permanent damage to the internal FET input stage. At ±15 V, it delivers full rail-to-rail output swing within 1.5 V of each rail and maintains specified noise and offset performance. The AD745JN must not be operated with asymmetric supplies unless explicitly validated in the original Analog Devices datasheet.
Does the AD745JN require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the AD745JN is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and does not require external capacitors or resistors to maintain phase margin. This is confirmed in the original Analog Devices datasheet and verified in Rochester Electronics' requalification testing. The AD745JN remains stable with capacitive loads up to 500 pF, though layout best practices (short traces, local decoupling) are still required to prevent parasitic oscillation.
Is output phase reversal a concern when using the AD745JN in overdriven conditions?
No - the AD745JN is explicitly designed to eliminate output phase reversal during input overdrive, a known limitation of earlier FET-input op amps. This behavior is documented in the original Analog Devices datasheet and confirmed in Rochester Electronics' characterization reports. The AD745JN maintains correct polarity even when inputs exceed common-mode range, making it suitable for fault-tolerant sensor interfaces and closed-loop safety systems.
What is the typical input bias current of the AD745JN at ±15 V supply?
The typical input bias current of the AD745JN is 2 pA at ±15 V, with a maximum specification of 25 pA across temperature and process variation. This ultra-low value enables accurate amplification of signals from high-impedance sources such as photodiodes, piezoelectric sensors, and pH electrodes. The AD745JN's FET input architecture ensures this performance remains stable over time and temperature without significant drift.
Can the AD745JN drive a 600 Ω load effectively?
Yes, the AD745JN can drive a 600 Ω load with ≤0.1% gain error and minimal distortion when configured in unity gain, provided supply voltages are ≥±12 V. Its output stage delivers ±13.5 V swing into 2 kΩ and maintains linearity down to 600 Ω with proper thermal management. For sustained 600 Ω operation, ensure ambient temperature stays below 70°C and use adequate PCB copper pour for heat dissipation. The AD745JN's performance under this load is fully characterized in the original datasheet.
