Product details
Overview
AD843JN from Analog Devices is a high-speed, CBFET-input operational amplifier designed for precision signal conditioning in demanding analog systems. It delivers 34 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 250 V/µs slew rate, and 135 ns settling time to 0.01% for a 10 V step - enabling accurate buffering of 12-bit DAC/ADC outputs and fast sample-and-hold circuits in test equipment and data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD843JN datasheet, AD843JN pinout, AD843JN application, or AD843JN equivalent, key selection criteria include its FET-input low bias current (0.6 nA typ), stability at unity gain without external compensation, and compatibility with ±15 V supplies and 500 Ω–∞ resistive loads.
Technical Context
The AD843JN uses Analog Devices' junction-isolated complementary bipolar (CB) process, combining FET-input DC precision with wideband AC performance. Its CBFET input stage achieves 0.6 nA typical input bias current while sustaining 34 MHz bandwidth and 250 V/µs slew rate - a combination unattainable in earlier monolithic op amps.
It operates stably at closed-loop gains ≥1 without external compensation across –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade), though AD843JN itself is rated for 0°C to +70°C. The device features offset null pins, laser-trimmed input offset voltage (1 mV max), and full-power bandwidth of 3.9 MHz into 20 VPP loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity Gain Bandwidth | 34 MHz - supports stable unity-gain configurations for high-fidelity buffer applications |
| Settling Time (to 0.01%) | 135 ns for 10 V step - enables accurate sampling in >7 MHz effective Nyquist-rate systems |
| Slew Rate | 250 V/µs - ensures minimal distortion on fast-rising signals up to ~3.9 MHz full-power bandwidth |
| Input Bias Current | 0.6 nA typical - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and integrators |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1 mV maximum (J-grade) - reduces static error in precision gain stages and active filters |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4.5 V to ±18 V - allows operation from standard ±15 V rails with margin for transient tolerance |
| Output Current | 50 mA minimum - drives 500 Ω loads directly without external boost circuitry |
Pinout & Package
AD843JN is supplied in an 8-pin plastic Mini-DIP (N-8) package with 0.300-inch width, through-hole mounting, and industry-standard pin spacing. Pin 1 is identified by a notch or dot; the package is RoHS-compliant and rated for 0°C to +70°C operation.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null | Connects to potentiometer wiper for manual input offset adjustment; optional for most J-grade applications |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–) | Differential input terminal; accepts feedback network for inverting configurations |
| 3 | Noninverting Input (+) | Differential input terminal; used for noninverting gain stages and unity-gain buffers |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail connection; must be bypassed with 0.1 µF ceramic + 2.2 µF tantalum capacitors |
| 5 | Offset Null | Second terminal of offset null potentiometer; completes trimming circuit with Pin 1 |
| 6 | Output | Amplified output node; capable of sourcing/sinking ≥50 mA into 500 Ω loads |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply rail connection; requires same bypassing as Pin 4 for high-frequency stability |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection; left unconnected per datasheet - not used for thermal or shielding purposes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-input architecture with CBFET process | Delivers 0.6 nA input bias current while maintaining 34 MHz bandwidth - critical for high-Z integrators and photodiode amps |
| Unity-gain stable, no external compensation | Eliminates design risk and board space for compensation networks in buffer and gain-of-one applications |
| Laser-trimmed input offset voltage | 1 mV max (J-grade) - reduces calibration burden in multistage signal chains requiring <12-bit linearity |
| High slew rate + fast settling | 250 V/µs slew rate and 135 ns to 0.01% enable accurate reproduction of sub-100 ns transients in pulse processing |
| Full industrial temperature range support (via family variants) | While AD843JN is commercial-grade, pin-compatible AD843AN/BN variants extend operation to –40°C to +85°C |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed FET-input op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD841JN | Lower bandwidth (20 MHz), higher input bias current (2 nA), no offset null pins | Less suitable for 12-bit S/H or precision integrators requiring <135 ns settling | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 34 MHz BW or 0.6 nA bias current |
| OPA600KP | Higher slew rate (400 V/µs), wider bandwidth (80 MHz), but higher quiescent current (18 mA) | Better for >10 MSPS sampling but less optimal for battery-powered or thermally constrained designs | Choose when full-power bandwidth >5 MHz and settling <70 ns are mandatory |
Compared with AD843JN, AD841JN trades bandwidth and input bias performance for lower cost and simpler layout, while OPA600KP offers superior speed at the expense of power efficiency and thermal management complexity - making AD843JN the balanced choice for 12-bit, ±15 V, 0°C–70°C precision analog front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for AD843JN?
The AD843JN is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. This specification is guaranteed per the datasheet's "AD843J/A" column and applies to all electrical parameters under rated supply conditions (±15 V). Operation outside this range may result in degraded offset voltage, increased bias current, or instability - use AD843AN or AD843BN for industrial-range (-40°C to +85°C) applications.
Does AD843JN require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, AD843JN does not require external compensation at closed-loop gains of 1 or greater. Its internal compensation ensures unconditional stability across the full operating temperature range and into capacitive loads up to 20 pF. For heavier capacitive loads (>20 pF), the recommended buffered configuration (Figure 23a in the datasheet) maintains clean transient response without altering compensation.
What is the purpose of Pins 1 and 5 on AD843JN?
Pins 1 and 5 on AD843JN are dedicated offset null terminals. They connect to opposite ends of a 10 kΩ potentiometer (wiper to Pin 1, ends to Pins 1 and 5), allowing manual adjustment of input offset voltage. While laser trimming limits initial offset to 1 mV max, these pins provide fine calibration capability in systems where residual offset must be reduced below 100 µV - especially in multistage precision gain blocks.
Can AD843JN drive a 50 Ω load?
AD843JN is not specified to drive 50 Ω loads continuously. Its output current is guaranteed ≥50 mA into ≥500 Ω loads, but driving 50 Ω would demand >300 mA at ±10 V - exceeding safe operating area limits and risking thermal shutdown or parametric shift. For 50 Ω interfaces, use a current-boosting stage or select a driver-rated op amp like the AD8009 or THS3091.
Is AD843JN compatible with SOIC or LCC packages?
No, AD843JN is exclusively packaged in the 8-pin plastic Mini-DIP (N-8) format. Other variants exist in different packages - e.g., AD843JR–16 (16-pin SOIC), AD843SE/883B (20-pin LCC), and AD843BH (12-pin metal can) - but AD843JN itself has no SOIC or LCC footprint. Board designs must accommodate through-hole DIP mounting with 0.300-inch lead spacing.
