Analog Devices Inc. AD8063AR-REEL

Overview

AD8063AR-REEL from Analog Devices is a single-channel, rail-to-rail output voltage feedback operational amplifier with 300 MHz −3 dB bandwidth (G = 1, VS = 3 V), 650 V/µs slew rate, 6.8 mA quiescent current, and integrated power-down disable pin enabling 400 µA shutdown mode - designed for high-speed signal conditioning in portable video, ADC driver, and clock buffer applications.

For engineers reviewing the AD8063AR-REEL datasheet, AD8063AR-REEL pinout, AD8063AR-REEL application, or AD8063AR-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 300 MHz small-signal bandwidth at 3 V supply, rail-to-rail output swing (0.1 V to 4.86 V on 5 V), 35 ns settling time to 0.1%, differential gain error of 0.01% (NTSC, RL = 150 Ω), and disable functionality with 300 ns turn-off time.

Technical Context

The AD8063AR-REEL employs a voltage feedback architecture with a high-slew-rate input stage optimized for single-supply operation down to 2.7 V, supporting input common-mode range from −0.2 V to +3.2 V (VS = 5 V) and rail-to-rail output swing limited by load-dependent saturation voltage (e.g., 0.1 V low / 4.86 V high into 2 kΩ).

Its disable function operates with TTL-compatible logic thresholds (V_{DISABLE_ON} = 3.2 V, V_{DISABLE_OFF} = 2.8 V at VS = 5 V), delivering 400 µA quiescent current in shutdown while maintaining fast 40 ns turn-on and 300 ns turn-off timing - critical for burst-mode signal paths in battery-powered imaging and communications systems.

FAQ

What is the maximum supply voltage for AD8063AR-REEL?

The AD8063AR-REEL supports an absolute maximum supply voltage of 8 V across +VS and −VS pins. Operation above this rating risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, Analog Devices specifies 2.7 V to 8 V operating range, with tested performance at 3 V, 5 V, and ±2.5 V supplies. The AD8063AR-REEL maintains 300 MHz bandwidth and 650 V/µs slew rate at 3 V, confirming robust low-voltage operation.

Does AD8063AR-REEL support true rail-to-rail input?

No, the AD8063AR-REEL features rail-to-rail *output* swing but not rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode voltage range is −0.2 V to +3.2 V with VS = 5 V, meaning it accepts signals 200 mV below ground but only up to 1.8 V below +VS. This design enables single-supply operation while preserving DC accuracy and bandwidth - confirmed in Figure 45 and Table 1 of the AD8063AR-REEL datasheet Rev. J.

How does the DISABLE pin function on AD8063AR-REEL?

The DISABLE pin (Pin 5) is an active-high TTL/CMOS-compatible control that places the AD8063AR-REEL output in high-impedance state and reduces supply current to 400 µA. Logic thresholds are V_{DISABLE_ON} = 3.2 V min and V_{DISABLE_OFF} = 2.8 V max at VS = 5 V. Turn-off time is 300 ns; turn-on time is 40 ns - verified in Table 1 and Figure 35 of the AD8063AR-REEL datasheet.

Can AD8063AR-REEL drive a 150 Ω video load?

Yes, the AD8063AR-REEL is explicitly characterized for 150 Ω video loads: output swing is 0.3 V to 4.75 V (min), differential gain error is 0.01%, and differential phase error is 0.04° at G = 2 - all measured per NTSC standard in Table 1 and Figure 23. It meets professional video specifications without external gain-setting resistors or output transformers.

What is the thermal resistance (θ_JA) of AD8063AR-REEL in SOIC-8 package?

The AD8063AR-REEL in 8-lead SOIC_N package has θ_JA = 160°C/W and θ_JC = 56°C/W, as specified in Table 4 of the datasheet Rev. J. These values assume standard JEDEC 2S2P test board conditions. For thermal design, maximum power dissipation is derated above 25°C ambient - e.g., 0.8 W at 25°C drops to ~0.5 W at 70°C (Figure 6).
