Product details
Overview
AD829AR-REEL from Analog Devices is a high-speed, low-noise voltage feedback operational amplifier optimized for professional video line driving and high-fidelity signal conditioning. It delivers 230 V/µs slew rate, 750 MHz gain bandwidth (±15 V), 0.02% differential gain error, and 0.04° differential phase error at 4.43 MHz - enabling precision NTSC/PAL/SECAM video transmission over reverse-terminated 75 Ω cables.
For engineers reviewing the AD829AR-REEL datasheet, AD829AR-REEL pinout, AD829AR-REEL application, or AD829AR-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its externally compensated architecture for gain-bandwidth optimization (1–20), ±5 V to ±15 V dual-supply flexibility, 1.7 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and SOIC-8 packaging suitable for space-constrained video interface PCBs.
Technical Context
The AD829AR-REEL employs Analog Devices' complementary bipolar (CB) process with matched NPN/PNP transistors (fT ≈ 600 MHz), enabling both high slew rate and low noise. Its external compensation pin (Pin 5) allows configurable stability across gains 1–20 via shunt or current-feedback topologies - supporting bandwidth >50 MHz with <1 dB peaking.
It operates as a traditional voltage feedback amplifier but achieves transimpedance-like versatility: unity-gain stable with 68 pF compensation, yet supports current-feedback configurations yielding constant bandwidth across inverting gains −1 to −4. Input stage biasing ensures 0.3 µV/°C offset drift and laser-trimmed 1 mV max input offset voltage over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 750 MHz at ±15 V - enables stable closed-loop operation up to 95 MHz in gain-of-2 video line driver configuration. |
| Slew Rate | 230 V/µs into 1 kΩ - supports full-scale 10 V step settling in 90 ns to 0.1%, critical for 10-bit ADC buffering. |
| Differential Gain Error | 0.02% at 4.43 MHz - meets broadcast-grade video fidelity requirements for PAL/SECAM color subcarrier transmission. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 1.7 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves SNR in low-level analog front-ends such as CCD sensor interfaces. |
| Supply Range | ±4.5 V to ±18 V - supports industrial ±5 V and professional video ±12 V/±15 V rails without derating. |
| Open-Loop Gain | ≥30 V/mV into 500 Ω - ensures <0.01% gain error in precision instrumentation amplifier front-ends. |
| CMRR / PSRR | 120 dB - rejects common-mode interference and supply ripple in noisy mixed-signal environments. |
Pinout & Package
AD829AR-REEL is housed in an 8-lead SOIC (R) package (5.3 mm × 6.2 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), rated for −40°C to +125°C operation and compliant with EIA-481A tape-and-reel standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 8 | Offset Null | Laser-trimmable pins for external nulling potentiometer (20 kΩ); essential for dc-coupled video or precision instrumentation. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (−IN) | Differential input node; symmetrical with Pin 3; accepts shunt or current-feedback compensation networks. |
| 3 | Noninverting Input (+IN) | Differential input node; matched impedance and capacitance (5 pF diff, 1.5 pF cm) to Pin 2 for balanced video drive. |
| 4 | Negative Supply (−VS) | Connects to negative rail; internal substrate tied to +VS (Pin 7) - requires clean, low-impedance return path. |
| 5 | Compensation (CCOMP) | External frequency compensation node; 68 pF to ground yields unity-gain stability; 0 pF enables 20× gain with 55 MHz BW. |
| 6 | Output | Capable of ±12.2 V swing into 500 Ω at ±15 V; clamps internally during overload; drives 75 Ω back-terminated cables directly. |
| 7 | Positive Supply (+VS) | Connects to positive rail; substrate connection point - must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic close to Pin 7. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Externally compensatable architecture | Enables bandwidth/slew trade-off tuning across gains 1–20 - e.g., 95 MHz BW at gain 2 with 1 dB peaking, or 55 MHz at gain 20 with no peaking. |
| Low differential phase/gain error | 0.04°/0.02% at 4.43 MHz - eliminates color distortion in PAL/SECAM broadcast systems driving 75 Ω coaxial lines. |
| High output drive capability | ±3.0 V into 150 Ω at ±5 V; ±12.2 V into 500 Ω at ±15 V - eliminates need for external buffer stages in video line drivers. |
| Low input current noise | 1.5 pA/√Hz - <10% of typical transimpedance amplifiers, making it superior for high-Z sensor interfaces where current noise dominates. |
| Flexible supply operation | Fully specified from ±5 V to ±15 V - supports legacy ±12 V video gear and modern low-voltage embedded systems without performance loss. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| THS3201DR | Higher slew rate (4700 V/µs) but 4.5 nV/√Hz noise; fixed internal compensation; no offset null pins. | Better for pulse amplification; unsuitable for precision video due to higher differential gain error (>0.1%). | Select THS3201DR only when ultrafast transient response outweighs video fidelity and dc precision needs. |
| LMH6629MA/NOPB | Lower noise (0.94 nV/√Hz), similar 230 V/µs slew, but no external compensation pin; limited to gains ≥5 for stability. | Superior for low-noise preamp stages; cannot replicate AD829AR-REEL's gain-flexible video line driving capability. | Choose LMH6629MA/NOPB for sensor front-ends where noise dominates, not for configurable video gain blocks. |
Compared with THS3201DR and LMH6629MA/NOPB, the AD829AR-REEL uniquely balances ultra-low video distortion, externally adjustable bandwidth, and precision dc performance - making it irreplaceable in broadcast-grade line drivers and gain-flexible instrumentation front-ends.

FAQ
What is the recommended external compensation capacitor value for AD829AR-REEL in a gain-of-2 video line driver?
For a gain-of-2 inverting or noninverting video line driver, the AD829AR-REEL datasheet specifies CCOMP = 25 pF (shunt compensation) to achieve 71 MHz small-signal bandwidth with <1 dB peaking and optimal differential phase/gain performance. This value is validated for ±15 V supplies driving 75 Ω loads and appears in Table 4 of Rev. I datasheet. Using 25 pF ensures stability while preserving the 0.02%/0.04° video fidelity that defines the AD829AR-REEL's role in broadcast systems.
Can AD829AR-REEL operate from a single +10 V supply?
No - the AD829AR-REEL is specified exclusively for dual-supply operation from ±4.5 V to ±18 V. Its input common-mode range extends to within 0.7 V of each rail (e.g., −13.8 V to +14.3 V at ±15 V), but it lacks rail-to-rail input or output capability and has no internal charge pump or level-shifting circuitry for single-supply use. Attempting single-supply operation violates Absolute Maximum Ratings and will result in undefined behavior or damage. For single-ended systems, consider the AD8001 or ADA4891 family instead.
Does AD829AR-REEL support current-feedback configuration, and what are the key component values?
Yes - the AD829AR-REEL supports current-feedback compensation using its CCOMP pin. In inverting configuration, use RF = 1 kΩ and CCOMP = 15 pF to achieve ~10 MHz constant bandwidth across gains −1 to −4, with slew rate >60 V/µs (Figure 41). The configuration requires R1 = RF and C1 = CCOMP (15 pF), with IN4148 diode clamping recommended for large-signal integrity. This topology decouples bandwidth from closed-loop gain - a key differentiator from standard voltage-feedback op amps.
What is the maximum capacitive load AD829AR-REEL can drive without instability?
The AD829AR-REEL maintains stability into ≥100 pF capacitive loads when configured with appropriate external compensation. Its output stage includes an RC network that bootstraps the compensation node, allowing stable operation into heavy capacitive loads (e.g., long PCB traces or coaxial cables) at gains ≥10. At lower gains (e.g., unity), stability requires CCOMP ≥68 pF and careful layout - datasheet Figure 38 confirms stable operation with 100 pF load at gain 20. For >200 pF, current-feedback configuration is recommended.
How does the offset null functionality work on AD829AR-REEL, and is it required for video applications?
The AD829AR-REEL provides dedicated Offset Null pins (1 and 8) for connecting a 20 kΩ potentiometer wiper to VOS adjust. While ac-coupled video systems may omit nulling, dc-coupled applications - such as medical imaging front-ends or precision instrumentation - require it to eliminate <1 mV input offset. The nulling circuit directly trims the input differential pair bias, reducing system-level drift and enabling true dc accuracy. For broadcast video with sync-tip clamping, nulling is optional but improves black-level stability over temperature.
