Product details
Overview
AD841JNZ from Analog Devices is a unity-gain stable, wideband operational amplifier optimized for high-speed signal conditioning and precision data acquisition. It delivers 40 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 300 V/µs slew rate, 110 ns settling time to 0.01%, ±10 V output swing into 500 Ω, and 1 mV max input offset voltage - enabling 12-bit accuracy in fast DAC/ADC buffer applications.
For engineers reviewing the AD841JNZ datasheet, AD841JNZ pinout, AD841JNZ application, or AD841JNZ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 0.01% settling performance at 110 ns, laser-trimmed offset stability, no external compensation requirement, and compatibility with ±5 V to ±18 V dual supplies across 0°C to +70°C industrial operation.
Technical Context
The AD841JNZ employs Analog Devices' junction-isolated complementary bipolar (CB) process, enabling simultaneous dc precision and wideband ac performance unattainable in earlier monolithic op amps. Its thermally balanced layout eliminates long settling tails, ensuring clean 0.01% recovery without post-slew artifacts.
It operates as a fully compensated, unity-gain stable voltage-feedback amplifier with internal offset null pins (Pins 3 & 12), no need for external frequency compensation, and robust overdrive recovery (200 ns negative / 700 ns positive). The device maintains stability across its full temperature range and supports terminated line driving up to 4.7 MHz full-power bandwidth.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 40 MHz - enables stable closed-loop gain of 1 with flat frequency response up to video and pulse frequencies. |
| Settling Time (0.01%) | 110 ns for 10 V step - ensures 12-bit accuracy in high-speed data acquisition sampling windows. |
| Slew Rate | 300 V/µs - supports ±10 V output swings at 4.7 MHz full-power bandwidth into 500 Ω. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1 mV maximum - laser wafer trimmed; eliminates need for external nulling in most precision buffer designs. |
| Supply Range | ±5 V to ±18 V - provides design flexibility for industrial signal chains operating from standard dual rails. |
| Output Current | 50 mA minimum - drives low-impedance loads including 50 Ω/75 Ω cables and active filter networks. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 15 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves SNR in wideband amplification stages preceding ADCs. |
Pinout & Package
AD841JNZ is packaged in a 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP, N-14), compliant with JEDEC MS-001. The package features through-hole mounting, 0.300-inch body width, and 0.100-inch lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 13, 14 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or grounding required. |
| 3, 12 | Balance / Offset Null | Connect external 10 kΩ potentiometer wiper to Pin 3 and ends to Pins 12 & 11 (+VS) to trim input offset voltage. |
| 4 | Inverting Input (–IN) | Differential input node for inverting configurations; requires impedance matching (e.g., RB resistor) to minimize bias current error. |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input (+IN) | Differential input node for non-inverting configurations; protected by internal ±6 V differential limit. |
| 6 | –VS | Negative supply rail connection; bypass with 2.2 µF + 0.1 µF capacitors placed near pin for high-frequency stability. |
| 10 | +VS | Positive supply rail connection; same bypassing requirement as –VS for low-noise, high-speed operation. |
| 11 | Output | Class-AB output stage capable of ±10 V swing into 500 Ω and 50 mA continuous drive; supports capacitive loads ≤20 pF directly. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain stability without external compensation | Eliminates design risk and board space for compensation networks - simplifies layout for video, pulse, and buffer circuits. |
| Laser-trimmed input offset voltage (≤1 mV) | Reduces system calibration overhead and enables direct use in 12-bit DAQ front-ends without nulling circuitry. |
| No settling tails after 110 ns (0.01%) | Ensures monotonic convergence in sampled systems - critical for accurate waveform reconstruction and timing-critical triggers. |
| 40 MHz gain-bandwidth product with 300 V/µs slew rate | Supports high-fidelity amplification of fast transients (e.g., video sync pulses, LIDAR returns) without slew-induced distortion. |
| Offset null pins (Pins 3 & 12) + internal balance nodes | Enables fine-tuning in production or field calibration while retaining full 40 MHz bandwidth - unlike external trim solutions. |
Applications
| Video Signal Amplification | Data Acquisition Front-End |
|---|---|
|

| Active Filter Stage | Terminated Line Driver |
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Gain stage in multiple-feedback (MFB) or state-variable topologies with >40 dB stopband rejection. Use Value: Maintains filter Q-factor and center frequency accuracy due to high open-loop gain (45 V/mV) and low noise. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed, unity-gain stable op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA637BP | Higher 80 MHz GBW but requires gain ≥5 for stability; 120 V/µs slew rate; 2.5 mV max offset. | Not unity-gain stable - unsuitable for buffer or gain-of-1 video line drivers without redesign. | Select only when closed-loop gain ≥5 is acceptable and higher bandwidth justifies reduced dc precision. |
| LM6171IM | Unity-gain stable; 100 MHz GBW; 3600 V/µs slew; 4 mV max offset; no offset null pins. | Higher speed but greater input offset and no trimming capability - limits 12-bit DC accuracy in DAQ buffers. | Prefer for >10 MHz small-signal applications where offset drift tolerance exceeds 2 mV; avoid where laser-trimmed nulling is required. |
Compared with OPA637BP and LM6171IM, AD841JNZ uniquely combines guaranteed unity-gain stability, 110 ns 0.01% settling, laser-trimmed 1 mV offset, and dedicated null pins - making it the only choice for precision, uncompensated, gain-of-1 signal paths demanding both speed and dc accuracy.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for AD841JNZ?
The AD841JNZ is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, as specified in the Ordering Guide and Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This J-grade variant is intended for commercial and industrial environments where extended temperature coverage is not required - unlike the S-grade (−55°C to +125°C) versions offered in CERDIP or LCC packages. All electrical specifications in the datasheet's Table 1 are guaranteed within this range.
Does AD841JNZ require external compensation components?
No, AD841JNZ is internally compensated and unity-gain stable - no external capacitors or resistors are needed for stability. Its junction-isolated complementary bipolar process and thermally balanced layout ensure unconditional stability across all gains ≥1, supply voltages (±5 V to ±18 V), and temperatures (0°C to +70°C). This eliminates tuning effort and layout sensitivity common in faster, decompensated op amps.
Can AD841JNZ drive a 50 Ω load directly?
Yes, AD841JNZ can drive a 50 Ω load directly in short-duration or pulsed applications, but sustained ±10 V output into 50 Ω exceeds its 50 mA minimum output current rating (per Table 1). For continuous operation, use a series resistor (e.g., 49.9 Ω) to isolate the cable while maintaining termination - as shown in Figure 33. This preserves signal integrity and avoids thermal overload.
What is the purpose of Pins 3 and 12 on AD841JNZ?
Pins 3 and 12 are offset null terminals that connect to internal balance nodes of the input stage. A 10 kΩ potentiometer wired with its ends to Pin 12 (+VS) and Pin 11 (+VS), and its wiper to Pin 3, allows precise adjustment of input offset voltage down to <0.1 mV. This feature enables final calibration in production or field deployment without modifying the core amplifier circuit.
How does AD841JNZ achieve 110 ns settling to 0.01% without settling tails?
AD841JNZ achieves clean 0.01% settling via its junction-isolated complementary bipolar (CB) process and thermally balanced layout, which minimize transistor isolation capacitance discharge and thermally induced operating point shifts. Unlike many fast op amps, it avoids long exponential recovery tails - verified in Figure 31 - making it reliable for repetitive high-speed sampling where tail-induced errors accumulate.
