Product details
Overview
AD824ARZ-14-3V from Analog Devices is a quad, FET-input, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for 3 V single-supply operation. It delivers 2 MHz gain bandwidth, 2 V/µs slew rate, and 500 µA per amplifier supply current, with input bias current as low as 2 pA and rail-to-rail output swing within 15 mV of both rails. It is used in battery-powered medical instrumentation, photo diode preamplifiers, and low-voltage strain gage amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the AD824ARZ-14-3V datasheet, AD824ARZ-14-3V pinout, AD824ARZ-14-3V application, or AD824ARZ-14-3V equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 3 V parametric performance, FET-input high-impedance interface capability, rail-to-rail output compliance under light-to-moderate loads, and extended industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) in SOIC-14 package.
Technical Context
The AD824ARZ-14-3V employs a complementary bipolar process with n-channel JFET input stage, enabling input voltage operation from −0.2 V to +1.0 V at 3 V supply and eliminating phase reversal up to the positive rail. Its unique input architecture supports safe common-mode extension beyond the negative supply while maintaining picoamp-level bias current across the full operating range.
The rail-to-rail output stage uses bipolar transistors to achieve 15 mV saturation voltage at ±20 µA load, with open-loop output impedance of 100 Ω and stable operation into capacitive loads up to 350 pF. Channel separation exceeds −123 dB at 1 kHz, supporting multistage filtering in single-supply systems without crosstalk-induced signal degradation.
Key Specifications

| 2 | –IN A | Inverting input of Amp A - high-impedance (10¹³ Ω), low-bias-current node for precision feedback configuration. |
| 3 | +IN A | Non-inverting input of Amp A - same FET-input characteristics as Pin 2; accepts common-mode voltages from −0.2 V to +1.0 V at 3 V supply. |
| 4 | V+ | Positive supply pin - connects to 3 V rail; all four amplifiers share this supply node. |
| 5 | +IN B | Non-inverting input of Amp B - electrically isolated from other inputs; supports independent differential sensing channels. |
| 6 | –IN B | Inverting input of Amp B - matched offset and bias current to Pin 5; enables dual-channel instrumentation amplifier topologies. |
| 7 | OUT B | Amplifier B output - identical electrical specs to Pin 1; usable for second-stage gain, filtering, or reference buffering. |
| 8 | OUT D | Amplifier D output - fully independent channel; supports multi-function analog subsystems (e.g., sensor excitation + signal conditioning + reference generation). |
| 9 | –IN D | Inverting input of Amp D - low-noise, low-drift node; suitable for precision DAC output buffering where source impedance exceeds 100 kΩ. |
| 10 | +IN D | Non-inverting input of Amp D - supports true differential input configurations when paired with Pin 9 and external resistors. |
| 11 | V– | Negative supply pin - tied to ground in 3 V single-supply operation; provides return path for all four amplifiers' quiescent current. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad FET-input op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC27L4CDR | Lower supply current (190 µA/ch), but only 1.7 MHz GBW, no guaranteed 3 V specs, and higher VOS (10 mV max). | Acceptable for low-speed, ultra-low-power sensor interfaces where bandwidth <100 kHz suffices and calibration compensates offset. | Choose TLC27L4CDR only if total system current budget is <1 mA and bandwidth requirements are ≤50 kHz. |
| OPA4342UA | Higher slew rate (2.5 V/µs), lower noise (11 nV/√Hz), but 1.2 mA/ch supply current and no 3 V guaranteed performance. | Suitable for higher-fidelity audio or faster data acquisition where 3 V operation is not mandatory and thermal dissipation permits higher IQ. | Prefer OPA4342UA when operating at ≥5 V and signal integrity demands <12 nV/√Hz noise and sub-1 µs settling. |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum supply voltage for AD824ARZ-14-3V operation?
The AD824ARZ-14-3V is fully specified and guaranteed for operation at 3 V single supply. Electrical parameters including input offset voltage, supply current, and output swing are validated at VS = 3.0 V per Table 3 of the official Analog Devices datasheet Rev. E. Operation below 3 V is not characterized or recommended.
Does AD824ARZ-14-3V support rail-to-rail input common-mode range?
No - AD824ARZ-14-3V features rail-to-rail *output*, but its input common-mode range at 3 V supply is limited to 0 V to +1.0 V (i.e., −0.2 V to +VS − 2 V). The input stage does not operate down to the negative rail; however, it safely accepts inputs up to the positive rail without phase reversal.
Can AD824ARZ-14-3V drive capacitive loads without external compensation?
Yes - AD824ARZ-14-3V is stable driving capacitive loads up to 350 pF directly on the output, as confirmed in the "Theory of Operation" section and Figure 6/Figure 8 of the datasheet. For loads exceeding 350 pF, external compensation (e.g., series resistor + feedback capacitor) is required to maintain phase margin >50°.
Is AD824ARZ-14-3V pin-compatible with other AD824 variants like AD824ARZ?
Yes - AD824ARZ-14-3V shares identical 14-lead SOIC (R) package, pinout, and footprint with AD824ARZ and AD824AR. The "-3V" suffix denotes guaranteed 3 V parametric performance; all variants use the same physical layout and electrical connections.
What is the maximum capacitive load AD824ARZ-14-3V can drive while maintaining 0.01% settling accuracy?
At 3 V supply, AD824ARZ-14-3V achieves 2 µs settling to 0.01% for a 2.3 V step into purely resistive loads. With 100 pF capacitive load (typical PCB trace + input capacitance), settling remains ≤2.5 µs. For >350 pF, settling degrades significantly due to added pole; stability must be verified per application conditions.
