Product details
Overview
AD820BRZ from Analog Devices is a precision, low-power, FET-input operational amplifier with true single-supply operation (5 V to 30 V), rail-to-rail output swing (within 10 mV of rails), and input voltage range extending 0.2 V below negative rail. It delivers 1.8 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 3 V/μs slew rate, and 800 μA max quiescent current - enabling high-accuracy signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation and photodiode preamplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the AD820BRZ datasheet, AD820BRZ pinout, AD820BRZ application, or AD820BRZ equivalent, key selection considerations include its 25 pA max input bias current, 800 μV max input offset voltage, capacitive load drive up to 350 pF, and compatibility with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) in SOIC_N packaging.
Technical Context
The AD820BRZ employs an N-channel JFET input stage for ultra-low input bias current and high input impedance (10¹³ Ω || 2.8 pF common-mode), supporting precision DC coupling with source impedances up to 1 GΩ. Its bipolar rail-to-rail output stage achieves 5 mV VOL–VEE and 10 mV VCC–VOH at light loads, with output saturation resistance ~40 Ω (source) and ~20 Ω (sink).
It operates across dual supplies (±2.5 V to ±15 V) or single supply (5 V to 30 V), with CMRR ≥66 dB over temperature and PSRR ≥70 dB. Input common-mode range extends to −0.2 V below −VS and up to (V+) −1 V, avoiding phase reversal up to +VS - critical for single-supply sensor interfaces and active filters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | Single: 5 V to 30 V; Dual: ±2.5 V to ±15 V - supports wide input power flexibility without external level-shifting. |
| Input Bias Current | Max 25 pA at 25°C - enables high-impedance sensor interfacing (e.g., photodiodes, pH electrodes) with minimal DC error. |
| Input Offset Voltage | Max 0.8 mV (AD820B grade) - ensures ≤0.02% gain error in 12-bit to 14-bit data acquisition systems. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1.8 MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters, medical front-ends, and low-frequency active filter designs. |
| Slew Rate | 3 V/μs - supports clean 10 kHz sine wave amplification with <−93 dB THD into 10 kΩ load. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Up to 350 pF - allows direct connection to ADC input capacitors or long PCB traces without instability. |
| Quiescent Current | Max 800 μA - enables multi-channel, battery-operated instrumentation with >1-year runtime on coin cells. |
Pinout & Package
AD820BRZ is supplied in an 8-lead SOIC_N (Small Outline Integrated Circuit, narrow body) package, measuring 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm × 1.75 mm, with standard 1.27 mm pitch and RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–IN) | Differential input node; high-impedance JFET gate - sensitive to leakage paths and EMI pickup. |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input (+IN) | Differential input node; identical impedance and noise performance as –IN; requires matched trace routing. |
| 4 | Negative Supply (–VS) | Ground reference for single-supply operation or negative rail for dual-supply; decoupling capacitor required. |
| 5 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; no electrical function - avoid routing signals or vias beneath this pad. |
| 6 | Output (VOUT) | Rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing/sinking 15 mA; drives capacitive loads up to 350 pF directly. |
| 7 | Positive Supply (+VS) | Main power input; accepts 5–30 V single or ±2.5–±15 V dual; requires local 0.1 μF ceramic decoupling. |
| 8 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; electrically isolated - may be used as thermal pad anchor if grounded externally. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True single-supply operation | Operates from 5 V to 30 V with input range extending 0.2 V below ground - eliminates need for split supplies in portable systems. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Swings within 10 mV of both supply rails at light loads - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller-based systems. |
| FET input stage | 25 pA max input bias current and 13 nV/√Hz input voltage noise - preserves signal integrity in high-Z sensor front-ends. |
| Capacitive load tolerance | Stable with up to 350 pF direct capacitive load - removes need for isolation resistors when driving SAR ADC inputs. |
| Industrial temperature range | Specified from −40°C to +85°C - suitable for medical devices, industrial sensors, and outdoor instrumentation without derating. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC2272CDR | Higher quiescent current (1.1 mA), lower GBW (2.2 MHz), but rail-to-rail input/output and lower cost. | Less suitable for ultra-low-power battery systems; better for higher-speed, cost-sensitive industrial controls. | Select TLC2272CDR when supply current budget allows >1 mA and input rail-to-rail capability is required. |
| OPA344UA | Lower input bias current (0.2 pA), but narrower supply range (2.7–5.5 V), lower output drive (8 mA), and no −40°C rating. | Optimized for 3.3 V portable electronics only; not rated for extended industrial temperature operation. | Choose OPA344UA only for 3.3 V, room-temperature consumer applications where femtoamp bias is critical. |
Compared with TLC2272CDR and OPA344UA, AD820BRZ uniquely balances ultra-low input bias (25 pA), wide supply range (5–30 V), industrial temperature rating, and 350 pF capacitive load drive - making it the only option among the three qualified for battery-powered medical and industrial instrumentation across full temperature range.

FAQ
What supply voltage range does the AD820BRZ support?
The AD820BRZ supports single-supply operation from 5 V to 30 V and dual-supply operation from ±2.5 V to ±15 V. This wide range allows direct integration into legacy 24 V industrial systems, modern 5 V/3.3 V embedded platforms, and battery-powered devices using two to four alkaline cells - all without external level-shifting circuitry. The AD820BRZ maintains full specification compliance across this entire range.
Does the AD820BRZ have rail-to-rail input capability?
No, the AD820BRZ does not feature rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode voltage range extends from 0.2 V below the negative supply rail to 1 V below the positive supply rail. While it accepts inputs below ground in single-supply mode - a key advantage for sensor interfacing - it cannot handle voltages near the positive rail without bandwidth reduction or increased common-mode error, as documented in Figure 20 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum capacitive load the AD820BRZ can drive stably?
The AD820BRZ is characterized to drive up to 350 pF of capacitive load directly without requiring external isolation resistors. This capability is verified across temperature and supply conditions, enabling direct connection to sampling capacitors in SAR ADCs, LCD bias networks, or long PCB traces - eliminating phase margin degradation and oscillation risk seen in many general-purpose op amps.
How does the AD820BRZ perform in terms of input offset voltage and drift?
The AD820BRZ (B-grade) specifies a maximum input offset voltage of 0.8 mV at 25°C and 0.9 mV over the full −40°C to +85°C range. Its typical offset voltage drift is 2 μV/°C, ensuring predictable, low-drift behavior in precision DC-coupled applications such as strain gauge amplifiers or reference buffers - critical for maintaining accuracy without periodic recalibration.
Is the AD820BRZ pin-compatible with other op amps in the same package?
The AD820BRZ uses the industry-standard 8-lead SOIC_N footprint (1.27 mm pitch), but it is not pin-compatible with generic SOIC op amps due to its NC pins (1, 5, 8) and specific internal topology. Substitution requires verification of pin function mapping, especially the absence of shutdown, compensation, or reference pins found in alternatives - always consult the AD820BRZ pinout diagram before board-level replacement.
