Product details
Overview
AD822ARZ from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, precision, low-power FET-input operational amplifier designed for single-supply (5 V to 30 V) or dual-supply (±2.5 V to ±15 V) operation. It delivers rail-to-rail output swing (within 10 mV of rails), 1.8 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 3 V/µs slew rate, and 800 µV max input offset voltage - enabling high-accuracy signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation and photodiode preamplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the AD822ARZ datasheet, AD822ARZ pinout, AD822ARZ application, or AD822ARZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning for key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation insights, and two confirmed alternative op amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The AD822ARZ employs JFET-input stages to achieve ultra-low input bias current (≤25 pA) and high input impedance (10¹³ Ω || 2.8 pF), supporting precision interfacing with high-impedance sources like photodiodes and pH sensors. Its true single-supply capability includes input voltage range extending 0.2 V below ground and rail-to-rail output swing - critical for maximizing dynamic range in 5 V systems.
It features matched dual amplifiers with ≤1.6 mV max offset matching and −130 dB crosstalk at 1 kHz, ensuring minimal inter-channel interference in multi-channel data acquisition. The amplifier drives ≥15 mA output current and stabilizes with up to 350 pF capacitive loads in unity-gain configuration, eliminating need for external isolation resistors in sensor buffer applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | Single: 5 V to 30 V; Dual: ±2.5 V to ±15 V - supports direct integration into 5 V microcontroller systems and industrial ±12 V rails. |
| Input Offset Voltage | Max 0.8 mV (B grade, 25°C) - enables accurate DC-coupled amplification of mV-level sensor signals without nulling circuitry. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1.8 MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters and active filter stages up to ~100 kHz with stable phase margin. |
| Slew Rate | 3 V/µs - allows clean reproduction of 100 kHz full-scale sine waves at 4.5 VPP without distortion. |
| Input Bias Current | Max 25 pA (25°C) - preserves signal integrity when amplifying from gigaohm source impedances (e.g., glass electrodes, piezoresistive sensors). |
| Capacitive Load Drive | 350 pF @ G = +1 - eliminates need for series output resistance when driving ADC input capacitance or long PCB traces. |
| Quiescent Current | 800 µA per amplifier - enables dual-op-amp signal chains in portable devices with <2 mA total analog supply current. |
Pinout & Package
AD822ARZ is packaged in an 8-lead SOIC_N (R suffix) with standard industry footprint and thermal resistance θJA = 160°C/W. Pin functions are electrically identical across PDIP, MSOP, and SOIC_N variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT1) | Amplifier 1 output | Delivers rail-to-rail voltage with ≤10 mV saturation margin; capable of sourcing/sinking 15 mA. |
| 2 (–IN1) | Inverting input, Amp 1 | High-impedance FET node; common-mode range extends 0.2 V below negative rail in single-supply mode. |
| 3 (+IN1) | Non-inverting input, Amp 1 | Matches –IN1 characteristics; used for unity-gain buffers and precision reference followers. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply rail | Connects to ground (single-supply) or negative voltage (dual-supply); supports input common-mode down to −0.2 V. |
| 5 (+IN2) | Non-inverting input, Amp 2 | Electrically isolated from Amp 1; enables independent dual-channel signal paths with <−130 dB crosstalk. |
| 6 (–IN2) | Inverting input, Amp 2 | Same FET-input performance as Pin 2; supports matched differential pair configurations. |
| 7 (OUT2) | Amplifier 2 output | Functionally identical to Pin 1; allows simultaneous processing of two analog channels on one IC. |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 5–30 V (single) or +2.5 to +15 V (dual); PSRR ≥66 dB ensures immunity to supply ripple. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings within 10 mV of V+ and V− - maximizes usable output range in low-voltage 5 V systems. |
| True single-supply input | Input common-mode extends 0.2 V below V− - enables accurate amplification of signals referenced to ground in unipolar supplies. |
| Low input bias current | ≤25 pA at 25°C - prevents loading errors in high-Z sensor interfaces (e.g., photodiodes, electrochemical cells). |
| High capacitive load drive | Stable with 350 pF directly at output - simplifies anti-aliasing filter design and eliminates external isolation components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision FET-input op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2134PA | Higher 8 MHz GBW, 20 V/µs slew rate; 500 µA higher quiescent current (1.3 mA per amp); same 8-lead DIP/SOIC package. | Better for wideband audio or fast-settling filters; less suitable for ultra-low-power battery operation. | Select OPA2134PA when bandwidth >2 MHz is required and supply current budget allows ≥2.6 mA total. |
| LT1782CS8#PBF | Lower 450 µA quiescent current; 1.2 MHz GBW; 1.5 V/µs slew rate; only available in 8-lead SOIC. | Optimized for sub-1 mA portable designs where 1.2 MHz bandwidth suffices; reduced drive strength (10 mA) limits heavy-load use. | Select LT1782CS8#PBF when minimizing supply current is primary and 1.2 MHz bandwidth meets system requirements. |
Compared with AD822ARZ, OPA2134PA trades 5× higher power for 4.4× more bandwidth and faster settling, while LT1782CS8#PBF reduces quiescent current by 44% at the cost of bandwidth and output drive - making AD822ARZ the balanced choice for precision, low-power, rail-to-rail dual op amp needs.

FAQ
What supply voltage ranges does the AD822ARZ support?
The AD822ARZ operates from a single supply of 5 V to 30 V or dual supplies of ±2.5 V to ±15 V. At 5 V single supply, it maintains full functionality including input voltage range extending 0.2 V below ground and rail-to-rail output swing - making AD822ARZ ideal for modern low-voltage embedded systems without negative rails.
Does the AD822ARZ require external compensation for stability?
No, the AD822ARZ is unity-gain stable and drives up to 350 pF capacitive load without external compensation. Its internal compensation ensures stable operation in follower, inverter, and active filter configurations - a key advantage confirmed in Figure 16 (gain/phase vs. frequency) and Table 1 (capacitive load drive specification) of the AD822ARZ datasheet.
How does the AD822ARZ perform in photodiode transimpedance applications?
The AD822ARZ excels in photodiode preamplifiers due to its ≤25 pA input bias current, 13 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 10 kHz, and rail-to-rail output. These specs minimize dark-current error and preserve signal-to-noise ratio - directly enabling accurate low-light detection in AD822ARZ-based TIA circuits as cited in the Applications section of its datasheet.
What is the maximum output current capability of the AD822ARZ?
The AD822ARZ delivers a minimum output current of ±15 mA under specified conditions (Table 1, Output Characteristics), with headroom to ±20 mA at ±15 V supplies. This allows direct driving of moderate loads like ADC input networks or LED bias circuits without external buffers - a verified capability stated in the General Description and confirmed in Figure 21 (output saturation vs. load current).
Is the AD822ARZ pin-compatible with other dual op amps in SOIC-8 packages?
The AD822ARZ uses standard SOIC-8 pinout (OUT1, –IN1, +IN1, V–, +IN2, –IN2, OUT2, V+), matching industry conventions for dual op amps. However, pin compatibility alone does not guarantee functional interchangeability - parameters like input bias current (25 pA), offset (0.8 mV), and supply range must be verified against target alternatives before substitution.
