Product details
Overview
AD824ARZ-14-REEL from Analog Devices is a quad, FET-input, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation from 3 V to 30 V. It delivers 2 MHz gain bandwidth, 2 V/µs slew rate, and ultra-low 2 pA input bias current-enabling high-accuracy signal conditioning in battery-powered medical instrumentation and photo diode preamplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the AD824ARZ-14-REEL datasheet, AD824ARZ-14-REEL pinout, AD824ARZ-14-REEL application, or AD824ARZ-14-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed rail-to-rail output swing (within 15 mV of rails), low 500 µA per-amplifier supply current, and extended industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) in a narrow 14-lead SOIC package.
Technical Context
The AD824ARZ-14-REEL integrates four independent JFET-input amplifiers on a complementary bipolar process, enabling input common-mode voltage extension to within 0.2 V of the negative rail and up to 1 V below the positive rail without phase reversal. Its unique input stage maintains picoamp-level bias current across this full range.
The rail-to-rail output stage achieves <15 mV saturation voltage at ±2.5 mA load and supports stable operation with capacitive loads up to 350 pF. Channel separation exceeds −123 dB at 1 kHz, ensuring minimal crosstalk in multistage filter or instrumentation amplifier configurations.

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal | Input voltage may exceed +VS by up to 200 mV without output polarity inversion-critical for sensor overvoltage tolerance. |
| FET input stage | 10¹³ Ω || 3.3 pF input impedance enables direct interfacing with high-Z sources like photodiodes and strain gauges. |

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 (125 µA/amplifier) but only 890 kHz GBW and no rail-to-rail output (1.5 V headroom). | Preferred for ultra-low-power sensor nodes where bandwidth <1 MHz suffices and rail-to-rail swing is not required. | Select when total quiescent current must be <500 µA for all four channels and output swing to within 1.5 V of rails is acceptable. |
| OPA4342UA | Higher slew rate (10 V/µs) and lower noise (11 nV/√Hz), but 1.2 mA/amplifier supply current and narrower common-mode range. | Better suited for audio line drivers or higher-speed data acquisition where noise and speed outweigh power constraints. | Choose when system requires <1 µs settling time and THD+N <0.001%, and 4.8 mA total supply current is permissible. |
Compared with TLC27L4CDR and OPA4342UA, the AD824ARZ-14-REEL uniquely balances rail-to-rail output, 2 pA input bias, and 500 µA/channel supply current-making it the only option among the three qualified for precision, low-power, single-supply medical transducer interfaces across the full −40°C to +85°C range.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the AD824ARZ-14-REEL can drive without oscillation?
The AD824ARZ-14-REEL is specified to remain stable with capacitive loads up to 350 pF when configured as a unity-gain follower. This value is confirmed in the datasheet's "Output Characteristics" section and validated across temperature and supply voltage ranges. For loads exceeding 350 pF, external compensation (e.g., series output resistor + small capacitor) is required. The AD824ARZ-14-REEL's ability to drive such loads directly simplifies ADC driver and filter designs without added components.
Does the AD824ARZ-14-REEL support true rail-to-rail input operation?
No-the AD824ARZ-14-REEL features rail-to-rail *output* swing but not rail-to-rail *input*. Its input common-mode range extends to within 0.2 V of V– and up to 1 V below V+ at 3 V supply (0 V to 2 V). At ±15 V supply, input range is −15 V to +13 V. This limitation is due to its JFET input stage architecture, which avoids phase reversal but does not achieve full rail-to-rail input voltage coverage. The AD824ARZ-14-REEL remains compatible with most single-supply sensor interfaces where the signal stays within this validated range.
Can the AD824ARZ-14-REEL operate from a 3 V supply while maintaining full specifications?
Yes-the AD824ARZ-14-REEL is fully specified and guaranteed at 3 V single supply, including offset voltage (≤1.5 mV), supply current (500–600 µA per amplifier), and rail-to-rail output swing (within 15 mV of rails at 2.5 mA). Table 3 in the datasheet explicitly documents all electrical characteristics at VS = 3.0 V, confirming its suitability for coin-cell and Li-ion battery-powered systems where low-voltage operation is mandatory. The AD824ARZ-14-REEL delivers identical performance at 3 V as at higher supplies for key parameters like bandwidth and slew rate.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the AD824ARZ-14-REEL package?
The AD824ARZ-14-REEL uses a narrow 14-lead SOIC (R suffix) package with a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 120°C/W, as documented in Table 5 of the datasheet. This value assumes worst-case PCB mounting conditions (minimal copper pour). With proper thermal design-including 1-in² 2-oz copper pad connected to V– and V+ pins-the effective θJA can be reduced by ~30%. The AD824ARZ-14-REEL's low 2.1 mA total quiescent current minimizes self-heating, keeping junction temperature rise under 2.5°C at ambient 85°C.
Is the AD824ARZ-14-REEL pin-compatible with other quad op amps in SOIC-14 packages?
No-the AD824ARZ-14-REEL has a proprietary pinout optimized for low crosstalk and layout symmetry, differing from industry-standard quad op amp arrangements (e.g., LM324, TL084). Pin 1 is OUT A-not +IN A-and V– is on pin 11, not pin 4. This configuration isolates power pins from sensitive inputs and separates outputs to minimize inter-channel coupling. Substituting the AD824ARZ-14-REEL into an existing LM324-based layout would require PCB revision. Always verify pin mapping using Figure 1 in the AD824 datasheet before board design.
