Product details
Overview
AD797ARZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is an ultralow-noise, ultralow-distortion precision operational amplifier designed for high-fidelity signal conditioning in demanding analog front-ends. It delivers 0.9 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, −120 dB THD at 20 kHz, and 800 ns 16-bit settling time, making it ideal for microphone preamplifiers, seismic detector front-ends, and Σ-Δ ADC buffer stages.
For engineers reviewing the AD797ARZ-REEL7 datasheet, AD797ARZ-REEL7 pinout, AD797ARZ-REEL7 application, or AD797ARZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 20 V/μs slew rate, ±5 V to ±15 V dual-supply operation, 50 mA output drive, 110 MHz gain bandwidth (G = 1000), and validated performance in low-frequency ultrasound and IR imaging signal chains.
Technical Context
The AD797ARZ-REEL7 employs a single-stage complementary bipolar architecture with >5 × 10⁶ open-loop gain, eliminating second-stage noise and distortion contributions. Its internal distortion neutralization network-enabled by the CN capacitor between pins 5 and 6-actively cancels output-stage nonlinearities without compromising stability or frequency response.
This architecture enables simultaneous dc precision (80 μV max VOS, 1.0 μV/°C drift) and wideband dynamic performance (280 kHz full-power bandwidth at 20 Vp-p, 12.5–20 V/μs slew rate), distinguishing it from conventional three-stage precision op amps where gain-bandwidth and settling are trade-offs against noise and distortion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Noise | 0.9 nV/√Hz typical at 1 kHz - enables detection of sub-μV signals in low-source-impedance (<1 kΩ) sensor interfaces |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | −120 dB at 20 kHz - preserves spectral purity in professional audio and spectrum analyzer front-ends |
| Settling Time | 800 ns to 0.0015% for 10 V step - supports 16-bit data acquisition at >1 MSPS effective sampling rates |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 110 MHz at G = 1000 - allows stable closed-loop gain ≥100 with >1 MHz signal bandwidth |
| Output Drive Current | 50 mA - drives 600 Ω loads directly, eliminating need for external buffers in DAC output stages |
| Supply Range | ±5 V to ±15 V - compatible with legacy industrial and test equipment rails while supporting low-voltage designs |
| Input Offset Voltage | 80 μV maximum - ensures <1 LSB error in 16-bit systems with ±10 V full-scale ranges |
Pinout & Package
AD797ARZ-REEL7 is housed in an 8-lead SOIC (R-8) package with standard dual-in-line pinout and exposed pad thermal enhancement. The package has θJA = 120°C/W on a 4-layer JEDEC PCB and supports surface-mount reflow per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | Offset Null | Connect external 10 kΩ potentiometer wiper to Pin 1 and ends to Pins 1/8 for VOS trimming; unused pins must be left open |
| 2 | Inverting Input (−IN) | Differential input node; requires 100 Ω series resistor in noninverting config for stability |
| 3 | Noninverting Input (+IN) | Differential input node; matched source impedance critical for noise and CMRR optimization |
| 4 | Negative Supply (−VS) | Return path for negative rail; bypass with 0.1 μF ceramic + 4.7 μF tantalum close to pin |
| 5 | Distortion Neutralization (CN) | Connection point for external capacitor (typically 22 pF) to cancel output-stage distortion |
| 6 | Decompression (DECOMP) | Connection point for same capacitor as Pin 5; forms neutralization network with Pin 5 |
| 7 | Positive Supply (+VS) | Return path for positive rail; identical bypassing required as Pin 4 |
| 6 | Output | Capable of ±13 V swing into 2 kΩ; drives 600 Ω loads with <0.01% THD at 1 kHz |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultralow voltage noise floor | 0.9 nV/√Hz extends flat to >1 MHz, enabling high-fidelity digitization of wideband sensor outputs without aliasing |
| Active distortion neutralization | On-chip CN/DECOMP network reduces harmonic distortion by >20 dB vs. uncompensated operation at audio frequencies |
| Single-stage high-gain architecture | Eliminates second-stage noise folding, preserving 16-bit settling integrity up to 110 MHz GBW |
| High output current capability | 50 mA drive sustains full-swing performance into 600 Ω loads, simplifying Σ-Δ DAC output buffering |
| Wide supply range compatibility | Operates from ±5 V to ±15 V with monotonic PSRR >114 dB, easing integration into mixed-rail systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultralow-noise op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8597ARZ | 1.1 nV/√Hz noise, −115 dB THD at 20 kHz, 10 MHz GBW, lower quiescent current (3.5 mA) | Better suited for battery-powered instrumentation where power efficiency outweighs ultimate noise floor | Select AD8597ARZ when 0.2 nV/√Hz noise penalty is acceptable and supply current must stay below 4 mA |
| ADA4004-1ARZ | 1.8 nV/√Hz noise, −105 dB THD at 20 kHz, 12 MHz GBW, rail-to-rail output | Preferred for single-supply systems requiring output swing to within 50 mV of rails | Choose ADA4004-1ARZ only if rail-to-rail output is mandatory and noise >1.5 nV/√Hz is tolerable |
Compared with AD8597ARZ and ADA4004-1ARZ, AD797ARZ-REEL7 provides the lowest noise and highest linearity but consumes more power (10.5 mA) and requires dual supplies; it remains the benchmark for applications where dynamic range is constrained by noise floor rather than power or supply architecture.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended source resistance for optimal noise performance of the AD797ARZ-REEL7?
The AD797ARZ-REEL7 achieves minimum total input-referred noise when source resistance is kept below 1 kΩ. At RS < 50 Ω, voltage noise dominates; above 2 kΩ, current noise becomes dominant. Figure 34 in the AD797 datasheet shows total noise rises sharply beyond 1 kΩ, confirming that AD797ARZ-REEL7 is optimized for low-Z sensors like piezoelectric transducers and photodiode TIA feedback networks.
Does the AD797ARZ-REEL7 require external compensation capacitors for stability in unity-gain configuration?
Yes, the AD797ARZ-REEL7 requires a 100 Ω series resistor in the inverting input path for stability in unity-gain follower configurations, as specified in Figure 37 of the datasheet. While not strictly a capacitor, this resistor damps reactive interactions; adding a small capacitor (<33 pF) across it further improves flatness. The CN and DECOMP pins (5 and 6) must be connected with a 22 pF capacitor to enable distortion neutralization, but this does not affect stability.
Can the AD797ARZ-REEL7 operate from a single +10 V supply?
No, the AD797ARZ-REEL7 is not specified for single-supply operation. Its input common-mode range is ±11 V at ±15 V supplies and ±2.5 V at ±5 V supplies, and absolute maximum ratings prohibit operation with only one supply rail. Attempting single-supply use violates the ±VS input voltage limit and risks latch-up. For single-supply applications, consider the ADA4004-1ARZ or AD8675 instead of AD797ARZ-REEL7.
What is the purpose of Pins 5 and 6 (CN and DECOMP) on the AD797ARZ-REEL7?
Pins 5 (CN) and 6 (DECOMP) form the distortion neutralization network. Connecting a capacitor (typically 22 pF) between them cancels third-harmonic distortion generated by the output stage, improving THD by >20 dB at 20 kHz. This network operates independently of stability compensation and does not alter gain or bandwidth; its function is verified in Figure 33 and Theory of Operation section of the AD797 datasheet.
Is the AD797ARZ-REEL7 pin-compatible with older AD797 variants like AD797ANZ or AD797BNZ?
Yes, AD797ARZ-REEL7 shares identical pinout and footprint with AD797ANZ (PDIP) and AD797BNZ (SOIC), as confirmed by Figure 2 in the datasheet. All variants use the same 8-pin DIP/SOIC layout with Offset Null (Pins 1/8), −IN (2), +IN (3), −VS (4), CN (5), DECOMP (6), +VS (7), and OUTPUT (6). However, electrical specifications differ: AD797ARZ-REEL7 guarantees 80 μV max VOS and 0.9 nV/√Hz noise, whereas AD797BNZ specifies looser limits.
