Product details
Overview
AD745KRZ-16 from Analog Devices is an ultralow-noise, high-speed, FET-input operational amplifier optimized for gains ≥ +5 (or –4). It delivers 2.9 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 10 kHz, 12.5 V/µs slew rate, and 20 MHz gain bandwidth product, with 0.5 mV max input offset voltage and 250 pA max input bias current at 25°C. It serves as a precision preamplifier in photodiode, accelerometer, and hydrophone signal chains.
For engineers reviewing the AD745KRZ-16 datasheet, AD745KRZ-16 pinout, AD745KRZ-16 application, or AD745KRZ-16 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-frequency noise performance (0.38 µV p-p, 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz), current noise (6.9 fA/√Hz at 1 kHz), output phase reversal immunity, and SOIC-16 package compatibility with high-impedance sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The AD745KRZ-16 uses a BiFET architecture combining JFET input stage for ultralow input bias current (≤250 pA) with bipolar-like voltage noise performance. Its internal compensation is optimized for closed-loop gains of +5 or greater, enabling 20 MHz bandwidth and stable operation without external compensation.
This op amp exhibits no output phase reversal when common-mode voltage exceeds –10.7 V, supports ±4.8 V to ±18 V dual supply operation, and maintains open-loop gain ≥2000 V/mV (min) into 2 kΩ loads - critical for high-gain, low-drift transducer amplification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Noise | 2.9 nV/√Hz @ 10 kHz - enables low-noise amplification of high-impedance sources >100 kΩ |
| Current Noise | 6.9 fA/√Hz @ 1 kHz - equivalent to Johnson noise of ~345 MΩ resistor, minimizing current-induced errors |
| Slew Rate | 12.5 V/µs - supports fast settling (5 µs to 0.01%) for wideband pulse and audio applications |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 20 MHz @ G = –4 - provides usable bandwidth up to ~4 MHz at G = +5, suitable for sensor preamp stages |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.5 mV max - ensures ≤0.5 mV dc error at unity gain, critical for precision charge amplifiers |
| Input Bias Current | 250 pA max @ 25°C - reduces voltage error across high-value feedback resistors (e.g., 100 MΩ) |
| Common-Mode Range | +13.3 V / –10.7 V - allows direct interfacing with ±15 V powered sensors without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
AD745KRZ-16 is housed in a 16-lead SOIC (R) package (JEDEC MS-013AC, 7.60 mm × 10.65 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch). Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; device is ESD-sensitive (Class 1 per MIL-STD-883C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null | Connects to external potentiometer for fine-tuning input offset voltage |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–) | High-impedance FET input node; requires matched source impedance for optimal CMRR and noise |
| 3 | Noninverting Input (+) | High-impedance FET input node; must be balanced with Pin 2 for dc and ac performance |
| 4 | –VS | Negative supply rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin for stability |
| 5 | Offset Null | Second terminal of offset null potentiometer; referenced to Pin 1 |
| 6 | Output | Capable of ±13.6 V / ±12.6 V swing into 600 Ω; drives capacitive loads ≤10 pF directly |
| 7 | +VS | Positive supply rail; decoupling capacitor required near pin for stability |
| 8 | NC | No connect - internally unused; must remain unconnected |
| 9–16 | NC | All remaining pins (9–16) are no-connect; not bonded or functional |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow 0.1–10 Hz noise | 0.38 µV p-p - minimizes drift and baseline wander in DC-coupled sensor front-ends |
| No output phase reversal | Immune to polarity inversion when common-mode voltage exceeds –10.7 V - eliminates latch-up risk in overvoltage transients |
| High open-loop gain | ≥2000 V/mV (min) - ensures <0.05% gain error at G = +100, critical for precision instrumentation |
| Internal compensation | Stable at G ≥ +5 - eliminates need for external compensation components in high-gain configurations |
| Wide supply range | ±4.8 V to ±18 V - supports operation from low-power ±5 V systems to industrial ±15 V rails |
Applications

Use Value: 0.38 µV p-p 0.1–10 Hz noise preserves low-frequency vibration signatures; no phase reversal prevents false triggers during shock events. |
| Hydrophone Preamplifier | High-Fidelity Audio DAC Output Stage |
Use Scenario: Low-noise amplification of underwater acoustic signals from B&K 8100 hydrophones (7500 pF source capacitance). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-Z follower with dc servo loop (AD711-based) and 10⁸ Ω bias network, maintaining <10 mV dc offset. Use Value: 2.9 nV/√Hz voltage noise dominates system noise floor below 10 kHz; 250 pA input bias current enables stable 100+ second time constants. | Use Scenario: I-V conversion stage for 20-bit audio DACs (e.g., AD1862) in professional studio equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage transimpedance amplifier with 3 kΩ feedback, followed by 3-pole low-pass filter (728 kHz cutoff).

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP37GP | Higher input bias current (10 nA typ), higher voltage noise (3.5 nV/√Hz @ 10 kHz), bipolar input | Better slew rate (17 V/µs) but unsuitable for >100 kΩ source impedances due to IB-induced errors | Select OP37GP only when ultra-low voltage noise is secondary to speed and source impedance is <10 kΩ |
| AD829ARZ | Lower input bias current (1.5 pA typ), wider GBW (200 MHz), decompensated (requires min G = +5) | Superior bandwidth for video or RF IF stages, but higher quiescent current (8 mA vs. 10 mA) and less optimized for sub-100 Hz noise | Choose AD829ARZ for >10 MHz signal paths where 0.1–10 Hz noise is not dominant |
Compared with OP37GP and AD829ARZ, the AD745KRZ-16 uniquely balances ultralow 0.1–10 Hz noise (0.38 µV p-p), femtoampere input bias current, and 20 MHz bandwidth - making it irreplaceable in charge-amplifier-based vibration and acoustic sensing where both dc stability and wide dynamic range are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for AD745KRZ-16?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for AD745KRZ-16 is ±18 V. However, rated performance is specified at ±15 V, and operation at ±18 V may increase quiescent current and input bias current. For optimal long-term reliability and thermal stability, Analog Devices recommends staying within ±15 V unless transient headroom is explicitly required. The AD745KRZ-16 remains fully functional across ±4.8 V to ±18 V, enabling flexible use in both low-voltage portable and full-rail industrial systems.
Does AD745KRZ-16 require external compensation capacitors?
No, AD745KRZ-16 is internally compensated for closed-loop gains of +5 (or –4) and greater. External compensation is unnecessary and not recommended for standard configurations. Attempting to use it at gains below +5 may result in instability or peaking. If lower gain is required, consider using a unity-gain-stable alternative such as the AD823 or AD8610 - the AD745KRZ-16's internal compensation architecture is fixed and cannot be modified.
Can AD745KRZ-16 drive capacitive loads directly?
AD745KRZ-16 can drive capacitive loads up to 10 pF directly without oscillation, provided proper power supply decoupling (0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum per rail) is used. For loads >10 pF, isolation resistance (e.g., 50–100 Ω in series with output) or a dedicated buffer stage (e.g., AD823) is required. Driving cables or ADC inputs with >50 pF capacitance without isolation risks instability and degraded pulse response - confirmed by TPC 6 (output impedance vs. frequency) showing rising impedance above 100 kHz.
What is the purpose of Pins 1 and 5 on AD745KRZ-16?
Pins 1 and 5 on AD745KRZ-16 are dedicated offset null terminals. They connect to the two ends of a 10 kΩ potentiometer (wiper to –VS) to adjust input offset voltage to <50 µV. This feature is essential in high-gain DC-coupled applications like charge amplifiers where even 0.1 mV offset translates to significant output error. The AD745KRZ-16 datasheet specifies that offset voltage is guaranteed after five minutes of operation at 25°C, and nulling improves initial accuracy before thermal stabilization.
Is AD745KRZ-16 suitable for single-supply operation?
AD745KRZ-16 is not optimized for true single-supply operation. Its input common-mode range extends to –10.7 V (relative to –VS) and +13.3 V (relative to +VS), requiring dual supplies for full rail-to-rail input capability. While it can operate with +5 V and ground (i.e., +5 V / 0 V), the input range becomes severely limited (≈0 V to +2.3 V), and output swing drops to ~±1.5 V. For single-supply designs, Analog Devices recommends alternatives such as the AD8605 or ADA4898-1 - the AD745KRZ-16's architecture assumes symmetric dual-rail biasing.
