Product details
Overview
AD818ARZ-REEL from Analog Devices is a low-cost, low-power voltage-feedback video operational amplifier optimized for gain ≥ +2 or ≤ –1 applications. It delivers 55 MHz 0.1 dB bandwidth (G = +2), 0.01% differential gain error, 0.05° differential phase error, and 50 mA output drive-enabling high-fidelity back-terminated 75 Ω video line driving in professional cameras and broadcast equipment.
For engineers reviewing the AD818ARZ-REEL datasheet, AD818ARZ-REEL pinout, AD818ARZ-REEL application, or AD818ARZ-REEL equivalent, key selection considerations include single-supply (+5 V) operation, 80 ns settling to 0.01%, 500 V/μs slew rate, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with video signal conditioning, cable drivers, and CCD imaging front-ends.
Technical Context
The AD818ARZ-REEL employs a degenerated NPN differential pair feeding a folded-cascode gain stage and class-AB emitter-follower output buffer-enabling high current delivery while maintaining low distortion. Its architecture supports stable operation with capacitive loads ≤10 pF and closed-loop gains ≥+2 without compensation.
It is fully specified across ±5 V to ±15 V dual supplies and 0 V/+5 V single supply, with quiescent current capped at 7.5 mA. Input common-mode range extends to ±13.4 V (±15 V supplies) and +4.3 V/–0.9 V (0 V/+5 V), supporting DC-coupled video signal paths and level-shifting interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0.1 dB Bandwidth | 55 MHz at G = +2 (±15 V); ensures flat video response through NTSC/PAL subcarriers and HD baseband signals |
| Slew Rate | 500 V/μs (±15 V); enables faithful reproduction of fast video transients without slewing-induced distortion |
| Settling Time | 80 ns to 0.01% (10 V step); critical for precision video sampling, digitization, and multi-tap timing systems |
| Differential Gain Error | 0.01% (NTSC, ±5 V, RL = 150 Ω); preserves color fidelity in composite video transmission |
| Output Current | 50 mA min (±5 V/±15 V); drives 75 Ω back-terminated coaxial cables directly without external buffers |
| Supply Current | 7.5 mA max (±5 V); enables power-sensitive portable video gear and multi-channel camera modules |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2 mV max (±5 V to ±15 V); minimizes DC shift in cascaded video gain stages requiring tight baseline control |
Pinout & Package
AD818ARZ-REEL is housed in an 8-lead SOIC_N (R-8) package per JEDEC MS-012-AA, with 1.27 mm lead pitch, 5.00 mm × 4.00 mm body, and gull-wing leads. The package supports automated pick-and-place and reflow soldering for high-volume video module assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null (–) | Connects to potentiometer wiper for input offset trimming; required only when <2 mV residual offset is critical |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–IN) | High-impedance summing node for inverting configurations; requires balancing resistor for bias current cancellation |
| 3 | Noninverting Input (+IN) | High-impedance reference node; used in noninverting gain ≥+2 setups with minimal input current error |
| 4 | –VS | Negative supply rail; must be bypassed with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor placed ≤5 mm from pin |
| 5 | Output | Class-AB emitter-follower output capable of sourcing/sinking 50 mA into 150 Ω loads |
| 6 | +VS | Positive supply rail; accepts +5 V (single) or ±5 V to ±15 V (dual); bypassing essential for PSRR >80 dB |
| 7 | Offset Null (+) | Connects to potentiometer end for symmetrical null adjustment; unused pins must remain open |
| 8 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must be left floating-no routing or grounding permitted |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-supply operation | Functional at 0 V/+5 V with input common-mode down to +0.9 V and output swing to 1.5 V/3.5 V-enables direct interface with 3.3 V logic and ADCs |
| Video-optimized AC performance | 0.01% DG / 0.05° DP at 3.58 MHz NTSC subcarrier ensures broadcast-grade color accuracy without post-processing |
| Capacitive load drive | Stable with ≤10 pF load capacitance; eliminates need for isolation resistors in PCB traces or connector stubs |
| Low distortion at high frequency | –63 dB THD at 1 MHz (±15 V); maintains signal integrity in wideband analog video digitizers and test instrumentation |
| Thermal robustness | Specified over –40°C to +85°C with 155°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance-suitable for enclosed camera housings |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar video op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LMH6702MA/NOPB | Higher 1.7 GHz GBW, 1000 V/μs slew rate, but 15 mA IQ and no single-supply optimization | Better for RF/IF amplification; less suitable for low-power +5 V video line driving | Select LMH6702MA/NOPB only when >100 MHz bandwidth and ultra-low distortion (<–70 dBc) are mandatory |
| THS3201DGN | 1.8 GHz GBW, 4700 V/μs slew rate, but 20 mA IQ and limited differential gain spec (0.05% typical) | Targeted at high-speed test equipment; lacks NTSC/PAL-validated video specs | Choose THS3201DGN for pulse amplification or wideband active filtering-not for broadcast video fidelity |
Compared with LMH6702MA/NOPB and THS3201DGN, AD818ARZ-REEL uniquely balances video-specific AC performance (0.01% DG), low power (7.5 mA), and single-supply readiness-making it the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained, and standards-compliant video signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the AD818ARZ-REEL can drive stably?
The AD818ARZ-REEL is characterized for stable operation with capacitive loads up to 10 pF without external compensation. This includes PCB trace capacitance, connector stubs, and scope probe loading. Driving heavier loads (e.g., >15 pF) risks peaking or oscillation unless a small feedback capacitor (1–5 pF) is added in parallel with the feedback resistor to neutralize parasitic poles.
Can the AD818ARZ-REEL operate from a single +3.3 V supply?
No-the AD818ARZ-REEL is not specified for +3.3 V operation. Its absolute minimum single-supply voltage is +5 V, and its input common-mode range at +5 V is +0.9 V to +4.3 V. Attempting +3.3 V operation results in severely degraded output swing, increased distortion, and potential failure to meet video specifications such as differential gain error.
Is the AD818ARZ-REEL pin-compatible with the AD818AR-REEL?
Yes-AD818ARZ-REEL and AD818AR-REEL share identical SOIC-8 (R-8) pinout, electrical specifications, and thermal characteristics. The "Z" suffix denotes RoHS compliance (lead-free terminations), while both are supplied on 13″ tape-and-reel. No PCB layout changes are required when substituting AD818ARZ-REEL for AD818AR-REEL.
Does the AD818ARZ-REEL require external offset nulling in typical video applications?
No-offset nulling is optional. The AD818ARZ-REEL has a maximum input offset voltage of 2 mV, which introduces negligible DC error in AC-coupled video paths. Nulling (via pins 1 and 7) is only necessary in DC-coupled applications demanding <0.5 mV residual offset, such as precision video DAC output buffers or calibration subsystems.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the AD818ARZ-REEL package?
The AD818ARZ-REEL in SOIC-8 (R-8) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 155°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions (1s2p board). With proper PCB copper pour (≥1 in² 2-oz copper connected to exposed pad equivalents), effective θJA can be reduced to ~65°C/W-supporting continuous 7.5 mA operation at +85°C ambient.
