Product details
Overview
AD8079AR-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a dual, low-power, high-speed current-feedback buffer with factory-set gain of +2.0, ±5 V supply operation, 260 MHz –3 dB bandwidth, 750 V/µs slew rate, and 40 ns settling time to 0.1% - designed for differential video line driving and A-to-D converter buffering in professional cameras and switchers.
For engineers reviewing the AD8079AR-REEL7 datasheet, AD8079AR-REEL7 pinout, AD8079AR-REEL7 application, or AD8079AR-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed gain matching (0.1%), differential gain error (0.01%), crosstalk (–70 dB @ 5 MHz), output drive capability (70 mA), and SOIC-8 packaging for compact PCB layout.
Technical Context
The AD8079AR-REEL7 implements a dual current-feedback amplifier architecture with internal 750 Ω feedback resistors (AD8079A grade), enabling fixed +2.0 gain without external components. Its optimized pinout isolates inputs and outputs using two dedicated ground pins, achieving < –70 dB output-to-output crosstalk at 5 MHz.
It delivers video-grade performance: 0.01% differential gain error and 0.02° differential phase error into 150 Ω loads, with 0.1 dB gain flatness up to 50 MHz. The device operates on ±3 V to ±6 V supplies, draws 5 mA per amplifier (10 mA total), and drives up to four back-terminated 75 Ω loads per side while maintaining specified video fidelity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| –3 dB Bandwidth | 260 MHz - supports high-definition video signals and fast data acquisition sampling clocks. |
| Slew Rate | 750 V/µs (2 V step) - ensures minimal distortion on fast transient video edges and digital waveform edges. |
| Settling Time | 40 ns to 0.1% (2 V step) - enables accurate sampling in dual-channel ADC driver applications. |
| Differential Gain Error | 0.01% (NTSC, RL = 150 Ω) - preserves color fidelity in broadcast and professional video signal chains. |
| Crosstalk | –70 dB @ 5 MHz - prevents interference between dual channels in synchronized video or I/Q signal paths. |
| Supply Current | 10.0–11.5 mA total (±5 V, TMIN–TMAX) - enables low-power portable video equipment design. |
| Output Drive | 70 mA - drives eight 75 Ω back-terminated video loads (four per amplifier) without gain degradation. |
Pinout & Package
AD8079AR-REEL7 is housed in an 8-pin plastic SOIC (SO-8) package, 5.00 mm × 6.20 mm body size, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and 1.27 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+IN1) | Noninverting input, Amplifier 1 | High-impedance (10 MΩ), low-capacitance (1.5 pF) input for single-ended or differential signal routing. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference, Channel 1 isolation | Dedicated ground pin separating inputs - reduces coupling between amplifiers and improves crosstalk. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference, Channel 2 isolation | Dedicated ground pin separating outputs - enhances output channel separation and stability. |
| 4 (+IN2) | Noninverting input, Amplifier 2 | Matched to Pin 1; enables synchronous dual-channel operation with tight gain matching (0.1%). |
| 5 (OUT1) | Output, Amplifier 1 | Capable of ±3.1 V swing into 150 Ω; drives video cables, transformers, or ADC inputs directly. |
| 6 (+VS) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +3 V to +6 V; bypassing with 4.7 µF + 0.1 µF capacitors required for stable high-frequency operation. |
| 7 (–VS) | Negative supply rail | Accepts –3 V to –6 V; independent PSRR (49–69 dB) minimizes supply noise coupling to outputs. |
| 8 (OUT2) | Output, Amplifier 2 | Matched to Pin 5; supports true differential signaling when paired with external passive network (e.g., Figure 27). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-set gain | +2.0 (AD8079A grade) via laser-trimmed internal 750 Ω resistors - eliminates external gain-setting components and layout parasitics. |
| Optimum dual pinout | Two dedicated GND pins physically separate inputs and outputs - achieves –70 dB crosstalk and simplifies routing in dense video PCBs. |
| Video-optimized linearity | 0.01% differential gain / 0.02° differential phase into 150 Ω - meets NTSC/PAL broadcast requirements without post-compensation. |
| Low power per channel | 5 mA/amplifier at ±5 V - enables dual-channel high-speed buffering in battery-powered camcorders and portable test gear. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-speed buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8075ARZ | Single-channel, same +2.0 gain, identical SOIC-8 package, but no dual-channel integration. | Requires two devices for dual-path use - increases board area, power, and layout complexity vs. AD8079AR-REEL7. | Select when only one channel is needed or when channel independence must exceed AD8079's –70 dB crosstalk. |
| THS3202D | Gain = +1 (non-configurable), higher slew rate (3000 V/µs), wider bandwidth (1.8 GHz), but higher quiescent current (24 mA total). | Better for ultra-high-speed pulse applications (>500 MHz), but lacks video-optimized differential gain/phase specs and factory-set gain. | Select when bandwidth >1 GHz is mandatory and video fidelity is secondary to speed. |
Compared with AD8079AR-REEL7, AD8075ARZ offers identical per-channel performance but doubles component count and layout overhead for dual functions, while THS3202D trades video linearity and power efficiency for raw speed - making AD8079AR-REEL7 optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, broadcast-grade dual video buffering.

FAQ
What is the gain configuration of the AD8079AR-REEL7?
The AD8079AR-REEL7 is the AD8079A grade variant with factory-set noninverting gain of +2.0, achieved via laser-trimmed internal 750 Ω feedback resistors. This eliminates external gain-setting components and ensures 0.1% gain matching between channels under all operating conditions.
Does the AD8079AR-REEL7 support single-supply operation?
The AD8079AR-REEL7 is specified for dual ±3 V to ±6 V operation, but it can operate from a single +12 V supply with appropriate level-shifting and biasing. However, full performance - including output swing, distortion, and settling time - is guaranteed only within the ±5 V dual-supply condition stated in the datasheet.
Can the AD8079AR-REEL7 drive 75 Ω back-terminated video loads directly?
Yes - the AD8079AR-REEL7 drives up to four 75 Ω back-terminated loads per amplifier (eight total) while maintaining 0.01% differential gain and 0.07° differential phase error. Each output delivers ≥70 mA, and the SOIC-8 package thermal design supports this load under industrial temperature conditions.
What is the maximum junction temperature and power derating behavior of the AD8079AR-REEL7?
The AD8079AR-REEL7 has a maximum safe junction temperature of +150°C. In its 8-pin SOIC package (θJA = 160°C/W), maximum power dissipation drops linearly from 0.9 W at +25°C ambient to zero at +85°C ambient - per the official derating curve in Figure 2 of the datasheet.
Is the AD8079AR-REEL7 pin-compatible with other members of the AD8079 family?
Yes - all AD8079 variants (AD8079AR, AD8079AR-REEL, AD8079AR-REEL7, AD8079BR, etc.) share identical 8-pin SOIC pinout and electrical interface. Only the factory-set gain differs: AD8079AR-REEL7 is +2.0 (A grade), while BR-grade parts are +2.2. No PCB changes are required when substituting within the same grade.
