Product details
Overview
AD811AR-16-REEL from Analog Devices is a high-speed current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for broadcast-quality video systems. It delivers 120 MHz −3 dB bandwidth at G = +2, 0.01% differential gain / 0.01° differential phase (RL = 150 Ω), and 2500 V/µs slew rate, enabling precise analog video signal conditioning in HDTV line drivers and ADC/DAC buffers.
For engineers reviewing the AD811AR-16-REEL datasheet, AD811AR-16-REEL pinout, AD811AR-16-REEL application, or AD811AR-16-REEL equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world video system use cases, and two validated alternative op amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The AD811AR-16-REEL implements a current-feedback architecture where closed-loop bandwidth is set by feedback resistor value (e.g., 649 Ω for 120 MHz at G = +2) rather than gain-bandwidth product. Its transresistance input stage enables stable wideband operation across ±4.5 V to ±18 V supplies while maintaining <25 ns settling to 0.1% on a 2 V step.
Designed specifically for 75 Ω video distribution, it achieves 0.1 dB gain flatness to 35 MHz (G = +2) and drives one or two back-terminated coaxial cables without degradation. Differential gain/phase performance is specified at 3.58 MHz with 100 IRE modulated ramp input under ±15 V operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| −3 dB Bandwidth | 120 MHz at G = +2 (RFB = 649 Ω, VS = ±15 V); enables full HD baseband video amplification without roll-off |
| Slew Rate | 2500 V/µs (VOUT = 20 V p-p); supports fast transient fidelity in pulse-driven video switching |
| Differential Gain / Phase | 0.01% / 0.01° (f = 3.58 MHz, RL = 150 Ω); meets broadcast-grade NTSC/PAL color accuracy requirements |
| Input Voltage Noise | 1.9 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz; preserves SNR in low-level video signal chains prior to ADC sampling |
| Quiescent Current | 16.5 mA (VS = ±15 V); balances high-speed performance with thermal manageability in SOIC_W-16 package |
| Output Swing | ±12 V into high-Z load (VS = ±15 V); delivers full-scale analog video levels with headroom for sync pulses |
| THD | −74 dB at 10 MHz (VOUT = 2 V p-p, G = +2); ensures minimal harmonic distortion in composite video paths |
Pinout & Package
AD811AR-16-REEL is housed in a 16-lead SOIC_W (RW-16) package with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is marked via notch or dot; pins 1–8 occupy one side, 9–16 the opposite. All NC pins must remain unconnected per datasheet Note 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 16 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must be left floating-no routing or grounding permitted |
| 3 | Inverting Input (−IN) | Current-summing node of CFA architecture; sets closed-loop gain with RG resistor |
| 5 | Noninverting Input (+IN) | High-impedance voltage-sensing node (1.5 MΩ); used for unity-gain buffer configurations |
| 6 | Output (OUTPUT) | Low-impedance current-source output capable of ±100 mA; drives 75 Ω loads directly |
| 12 | Positive Supply (+VS) | Accepts +4.5 V to +18 V; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to ground |
| 14 | Negative Supply (−VS) | Accepts −4.5 V to −18 V; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor to ground |
| 15 | Positive Supply (+VS) | Second +VS connection for improved power rail decoupling in high-frequency layouts |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-feedback architecture | Maintains >100 MHz bandwidth across gains +1 to +10 via RFB tuning-unlike voltage-feedback op amps |
| Broadcast-grade video linearity | 0.01% differential gain error ensures accurate color saturation reproduction in NTSC/PAL systems |
| High slew rate with low distortion | 2500 V/µs slew + −74 dBc THD at 10 MHz enables clean 1080p/60 video signal buffering |
| Wide supply range support | Operates from ±4.5 V to ±18 V, allowing design reuse across ±5 V embedded systems and ±15 V test equipment |
| Robust capacitive load drive | Stable with ≥100 pF loads using optional series output resistor (e.g., 15 Ω for 500 pF) |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed video amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3201DR | Higher 1.8 GHz GBW but voltage-feedback architecture; 1000 V/µs slew rate; higher 3.5 nV/√Hz noise | Better suited for RF IF amplification than composite video; less optimal for differential gain-critical NTSC | Select when ultra-wideband small-signal gain is prioritized over broadcast video linearity specs |
| LMH6702MA | 1.7 GHz GBW, 3100 V/µs slew, but 3.3 nV/√Hz noise and no guaranteed differential phase spec | Used in test equipment front-ends; lacks published 0.01° differential phase validation at 3.58 MHz | Prefer for high-speed data acquisition where absolute color fidelity is not required |
Compared with AD811AR-16-REEL, THS3201DR offers greater raw bandwidth but sacrifices broadcast-grade differential phase accuracy, while LMH6702MA delivers superior slew rate yet omits verified NTSC compliance metrics-making AD811AR-16-REEL the only choice when both speed and color fidelity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for AD811AR-16-REEL?
The AD811AR-16-REEL supports operating supply voltages from ±4.5 V to ±18 V. Absolute maximum ratings specify ±18 V for standard grades; exceeding this risks permanent damage. For optimal video performance with thermal margin, ±12 V or ±15 V is recommended-verified in the datasheet's differential gain/phase plots and Figure 44–45.
Does AD811AR-16-REEL support single-supply operation?
No, AD811AR-16-REEL is designed exclusively for dual-supply operation (±VS). Its input common-mode range extends to ±VS, and output swing is symmetrical about ground. Single-supply use would violate input/output voltage limits and degrade performance-no characterization data exists for 0 V to +VCC configurations.
How does the AD811AR-16-REEL differ from the AD811JR variant?
The AD811AR-16-REEL is rated for −40°C to +85°C (A grade) in 16-lead SOIC_W packaging, while AD811JR is J-grade (0°C to +70°C) in 8-lead SOIC_N. Electrical specs are identical, but AD811AR-16-REEL supports wider temperature operation and higher power dissipation (θJA = 85°C/W vs. 155°C/W), making it suitable for industrial video equipment.
Can AD811AR-16-REEL drive 50 Ω transmission lines?
Yes-though optimized for 75 Ω video loads, AD811AR-16-REEL delivers ±100 mA output current and can drive 50 Ω loads with appropriate gain-setting resistors. Datasheet Figure 8 shows output swing vs. resistive load down to 10 Ω; for 50 Ω, expect ~±10 V swing at ±15 V supplies with minor bandwidth reduction versus 75 Ω.
What layout practices prevent instability in AD811AR-16-REEL circuits?
To ensure stability, minimize parasitic capacitance at the inverting input and output nodes: use short traces (<1/4") for RFB/RG, isolate signal paths from ground planes with 3/16" clearance, and place 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitors within 2 mm of each supply pin. The datasheet explicitly warns that longer feedback traces induce peaking (Figure 18).
