Product details
Overview
AD8044ARZ-14 from Analog Devices is a quad, rail-to-rail output, voltage-feedback high-speed operational amplifier optimized for +3 V, +5 V, and ±5 V supplies. It delivers 150 MHz –3 dB bandwidth (G = +1), 170 V/µs slew rate, and output swing within 25 mV of either rail - enabling full dynamic range in video buffering, A/D driver, and active filter applications.
For engineers reviewing the AD8044ARZ-14 datasheet, AD8044ARZ-14 pinout, AD8044ARZ-14 application, or AD8044ARZ-14 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed rail-to-rail output drive into 150 Ω, differential gain error ≤ 0.06%, settling time to 0.1% in 40 ns, and operation across –40°C to +85°C with Pb-free SOIC-14 packaging.
Technical Context
The AD8044ARZ-14 employs Analog Devices' eXtra-Fast Complementary Bipolar (XFCB) process, integrating PNP/NPN transistors with fT up to 4 GHz and dielectric isolation to suppress latch-up. Its differential-input stage minimizes nonlinear junction capacitance effects, achieving –68 dBc THD at 5 MHz and 0.1 dB gain flatness to 12 MHz.
A complementary common-emitter output stage enables 30 mA output current with outputs within 0.5 V of supply rails. Input common-mode range extends 200 mV below V– and within 1 V of V+, with no phase reversal when inputs exceed rails by 1 V - critical for single-supply RGB video and CCD imaging interfaces.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8054ARZ-14 | Higher 220 MHz bandwidth, 270 V/µs slew rate, but 15.5 mA quiescent current per amplifier. | Better suited for >100 MSPS sampling systems; less optimal for battery-powered devices due to +18% power draw. | Select AD8054ARZ-14 only when bandwidth >180 MHz is required; AD8044ARZ-14 remains preferred for cost- and power-sensitive video/CCD designs. |
| LMH6624MA/NOPB | Lower 1.9 nV/√Hz noise, but 200 MHz bandwidth with 1000 V/µs slew rate; not rail-to-rail output (1.2 V min swing). | Superior for low-noise preamp stages; unsuitable for ground-swinging video or single-supply sensor interfaces. | Choose LMH6624MA/NOPB for ultra-low-noise analog front-ends where rail-to-rail output is unnecessary; AD8044ARZ-14 provides broader system compatibility. |
Compared with AD8044ARZ-14, AD8054ARZ-14 trades higher speed for increased power, while LMH6624MA/NOPB sacrifices rail-to-rail output and single-supply input range for lower noise - making AD8044ARZ-14 the balanced choice for multichannel video, imaging, and portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the AD8044ARZ-14 support?
The AD8044ARZ-14 operates from single supplies of +3 V to +12 V, dual supplies of ±3 V to ±6 V, and is fully specified at +3 V, +5 V, and ±5 V. Its input common-mode range extends 200 mV below V– and within 1 V of V+, and its rail-to-rail output delivers full swing across this entire supply range - confirmed in AD8044 Rev. B datasheet Sections "Specifications" and "Product Description".
Is the AD8044ARZ-14 pin-compatible with the AD8041 or AD8042?
No, the AD8044ARZ-14 is not pin-compatible with AD8041 (single) or AD8042 (dual). AD8044ARZ-14 uses a 14-lead SOIC package with dedicated pins for four independent amplifiers (e.g., Pins 1–3 = Amp A, Pins 5–7 = Amp B, etc.), whereas AD8041 uses 8-lead SOIC and AD8042 uses 8-lead SOIC - different pin counts and assignments preclude direct substitution without PCB redesign.
Does the AD8044ARZ-14 support driving 75 Ω video loads directly?
Yes, the AD8044ARZ-14 drives 150 Ω loads with 0.55–4.4 V swing (VS = +5 V), and its 30 mA output current capability allows direct termination into 75 Ω with appropriate gain configuration. Application Figure 36 in the datasheet explicitly demonstrates RGB buffering into dual 75 Ω monitor loads using +3 V or +5 V supplies - confirming suitability for professional video distribution.
What is the maximum capacitive load the AD8044ARZ-14 can drive stably?
The AD8044ARZ-14 is characterized for stable operation with up to 40 pF capacitive load at G = +2, and 35 pF at G = +1 (AD8044A spec tables). Layout guidelines recommend series isolation resistors for loads >40 pF, and Figure 25 in the datasheet quantifies overshoot vs. capacitive load for multiple gain configurations - validating robust high-frequency drive capability.
How does the AD8044ARZ-14 perform in terms of power supply rejection?
The AD8044ARZ-14 delivers 70–80 dB PSRR across DC to 10 MHz (Figure 23), with +PSRR and –PSRR both exceeding 70 dB at 100 kHz. This ensures minimal supply noise coupling into sensitive analog paths - critical in mixed-signal systems where digital switching noise coexists with analog video or sensor signals on shared rails.
