Product details
Overview
AD8273ARZ from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, high-precision difference amplifier with integrated laser-trimmed resistors, configured for gains of ½ or 2 (−6 dB or +6 dB), delivering 0.00025% THD+N at 20 kHz and driving 600 Ω loads - used in high-fidelity ADC driver and instrumentation amplifier applications.
For engineers reviewing the AD8273ARZ datasheet, AD8273ARZ pinout, AD8273ARZ application, or AD8273ARZ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 77 dB CMRR, ±4000 V HBM ESD rating, 20 V/μs slew rate, and operation across ±2.5 V to ±18 V supplies with industrial −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
Technical Context
The AD8273ARZ implements two independent, matched-resistor-based amplifier channels using internal 12 kΩ and 6 kΩ laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve 0.05% max gain error and 10 ppm/°C max gain drift. Its architecture supports difference, inverting, and noninverting configurations without external components.
Each channel features rail-to-rail output swing limited by ±VS ±1.5 V, 800 ns to 0.01% settling time, and 20 MHz bandwidth at G = ½. Input common-mode range extends to ±3VS − 4.5 V, enabling wide dynamic signal capture in unbalanced supply setups up to 36 V total supply differential.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar difference amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8274ARZ | Single-channel version; identical gain options, THD+N, and resistor matching specs but half the channel count and supply current | Suitable for space-constrained or single-signal-path designs where dual-channel capability is unnecessary | Select AD8274ARZ when only one high-precision difference amplifier is needed and board area or power budget is constrained |
| INA149IDR | Higher CMRR (100 dB min), wider input common-mode range (±270 V), but higher THD+N (0.002% at 1 kHz) and no G = ½ option | Better suited for high-voltage isolation amplifier front-ends and industrial motor control current sensing | Choose INA149IDR when extreme common-mode rejection or high-voltage tolerance (>±40 V) is required over ultra-low distortion |
Compared with AD8273ARZ, AD8274ARZ reduces channel count and power use while preserving precision, whereas INA149IDR trades distortion performance for vastly superior CMRR and input voltage range - making each optimal for distinct signal conditioning priorities.

FAQ
What gain configurations does the AD8273ARZ support without external components?
The AD8273ARZ supports four standard configurations without external components: difference amplifier (G = ½ or 2), inverting amplifier (G = ½ or 2), and noninverting amplifier (G = 1.5 or 3). These rely on its internal laser-trimmed 12 kΩ and 6 kΩ resistor networks. All configurations maintain 0.05% max gain error and 10 ppm/°C max gain drift. The AD8273ARZ datasheet Figure 39–46 details wiring for each mode using only the specified pin connections.
Can the AD8273ARZ operate on single-supply rails, and what are the limitations?
Yes, the AD8273ARZ operates on single-supply rails such as 0 V and +20 V, provided the total supply differential remains ≤36 V. Input common-mode range extends to −3VS + 4.5 V and +3VS − 4.5 V, so with +20 V/0 V supplies, usable input range is approximately −1.5 V to +15.5 V. Output swing is limited to −VS + 1.5 V to +VS − 1.5 V, meaning 1.5 V to 18.5 V in this case. The AD8273ARZ requires proper reference biasing at REFA/REFB pins for single-supply operation.
What is the maximum capacitive load the AD8273ARZ can drive at G = 2?
The AD8273ARZ can drive up to 1200 pF capacitive load at G = 2 while maintaining stability, as confirmed in the datasheet's "Capacitive Load Drive" specification table. This exceeds typical op amp limits and enables direct connection to ADC input capacitors or long PCB traces without external isolation resistors. At G = ½, the limit is 200 pF. Performance degrades beyond these values, showing increased overshoot and settling time - see Figures 24–27 in the AD8273ARZ datasheet for detailed overshoot vs. capacitance curves.
How does the AD8273ARZ achieve its 0.00025% THD+N specification?
The AD8273ARZ achieves 0.00025% THD+N at 20 kHz through a combination of low-noise, high-slew-rate op amp cores (20 V/μs), tightly matched internal thin-film resistors (laser-trimmed to ratio match), and optimized layout minimizing parasitic capacitance at high-impedance nodes. Its internal architecture avoids external resistor mismatches that dominate distortion in discrete implementations. This specification is measured at 10 Vp-p into 600 Ω with ±15 V supplies - the AD8273ARZ maintains sub-0.0015% THD+N even at 100 kHz under same conditions.
Is the AD8273ARZ pin-compatible with other devices in the AD827x family?
No, the AD8273ARZ is not pin-compatible with other AD827x family members. While AD8274ARZ shares identical pinout and package (14-lead SOIC_N), AD8270 and AD8271 use different packages (8-lead SOIC and MSOP) and distinct pin functions. The AD8273ARZ pin configuration - including dedicated SENSEA/SENSEB, REFA/REFB, and dual-channel input/output assignments - is unique to its dual-channel, dual-gain architecture. Always verify pin mapping against the specific device's datasheet before substitution.
