Product details
Overview
AD843KNZ 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.
For engineers reviewing the AD843KNZ datasheet, AD843KNZ pinout, AD843KNZ application, or AD843KNZ 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 in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AD843KNZ 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 monolithic integration previously unattainable.
It operates stably at closed-loop gains ≥1 without external compensation across –40°C to +85°C, supports ±15 V supply (±4.5 V to ±18 V operating range), and features offset null pins for precision trimming - critical for high-speed integrators and active filters requiring minimal drift and overshoot.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity Gain Bandwidth | 34 MHz - enables stable amplification up to 34 MHz at gain = 1, suitable for video and RF signal paths. |
| Settling Time (0.01%) | 135 ns for 10 V step - ensures accurate capture in 12-bit data acquisition systems with ≤1 µs cycle times. |
| Slew Rate | 250 V/µs - prevents distortion on fast-rising signals such as pulse trains and digital-to-analog transitions. |
| Input Bias Current | 0.6 nA typical - minimizes voltage error in high-impedance sensor interfaces and integrator feedback networks. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1 mV max (K-grade) - reduces static error in precision gain stages and active filter DC response. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4.5 V to ±18 V - supports operation from dual ±5 V logic-compatible rails up to ±15 V industrial standards. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor control and test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
The AD843KNZ is supplied in an 8-pin plastic Mini-DIP (N-8) package with standard dual-in-line pin spacing and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is identified by a notch or dot; the package is RoHS-compliant and rated for 1.50 W internal power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null | Connects to potentiometer wiper for manual input offset adjustment; required only in ultra-precision applications. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–) | Differential input node; accepts feedback network for inverting configurations and active filter topologies. |
| 3 | Noninverting Input (+) | Differential input node; used in noninverting buffers, instrumentation front-ends, and S/H hold amplifiers. |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail connection; must be bypassed with 0.1 µF ceramic + 2.2 µF tantalum near pin. |
| 5 | Offset Null | Second terminal of offset trim network; completes 3-terminal nulling circuit with Pin 1 and ground. |
| 6 | Output | Capable of sourcing/sinking ≥50 mA into 500 Ω loads; drives capacitive loads up to 20 pF directly. |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply rail connection; requires same bypassing as Pin 4 to maintain high-frequency PSRR. |
| 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 - eliminates trade-off between speed and input impedance. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA600ID | Higher 400 V/µs slew rate but lower 20 MHz bandwidth; 1.5 nA input bias current; no offset null pins. | Better for pulse amplification where speed dominates accuracy; less suitable for precision integrators or low-drift S/H hold stages. | Select OPA600ID when >200 V/µs is mandatory and 0.6 nA bias current is not required. |
| AD847ARZ | Lower 50 MHz bandwidth but 10× faster 50 ns settling (to 0.1%); 20 nA input bias; single-supply capable (±4.5 V to ±18 V). | Preferred for general-purpose high-speed buffering where unity-gain stability and ultra-low bias are secondary to raw speed. | Choose AD847ARZ for cost-sensitive designs needing faster settling than AD843KNZ but tolerating higher input current. |
Compared with OPA600ID and AD847ARZ, the AD843KNZ uniquely balances 34 MHz bandwidth, 0.6 nA input bias, and guaranteed 135 ns settling in an industrial-grade DIP package - making it optimal for precision high-speed analog signal chains where both speed and DC accuracy are simultaneously critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the AD843KNZ can drive without compensation?
The AD843KNZ can drive up to 20 pF directly without external compensation while maintaining specified settling and overshoot performance. For loads exceeding 20 pF - such as PCB traces or ADC input capacitance - a 5 pF feedback capacitor is recommended in unity-gain inverter configurations, and a series 10 Ω resistor with 15–47 pF feedback capacitor is advised for loads >100 pF. These configurations preserve stability and reduce ringing, as verified in AD843KNZ application circuits Figures 20–23.
Does the AD843KNZ require external compensation for unity-gain operation?
No, the AD843KNZ is unity-gain stable and does not require external compensation across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This is confirmed in the product highlights and specifications table, which explicitly states "Stable at Gains of 1 or Greater" and "does not require external compensation at closed loop gains of 1 or greater." The internal compensation ensures robust performance in buffer and gain-of-one configurations without added components.
What is the input offset voltage specification for the AD843KNZ?
The AD843KNZ has a maximum input offset voltage of 1 mV at +25°C, with a typical value of 0.5 mV. Over the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), the max offset is 2.0 mV. This specification is laser wafer-trimmed and guaranteed for the K-grade device, enabling direct use in 12-bit data acquisition systems without post-calibration in most cases.
Can the AD843KNZ operate from ±5 V supplies?
Yes, the AD843KNZ supports supply voltages from ±4.5 V to ±18 V, making ±5 V operation fully valid. At ±5 V, quiescent current remains within 12–13 mA, output swing is reduced to approximately ±3.5 V (typical), and full-power bandwidth decreases proportionally - but unity-gain stability, slew rate, and settling time remain functional. Designers should verify output headroom and noise performance for their specific ±5 V application.
Is the AD843KNZ pin-compatible with other AD843 variants like AD843JN or AD843BQ?
No, the AD843KNZ (8-pin plastic DIP, N-8 package) is not pin-compatible with AD843BQ (8-pin Cerdip, Q-8) or AD843JN (same N-8 package but different temp grade). While all share identical pin functions and numbering, the AD843KNZ and AD843JN are mechanically identical and pin-compatible; AD843BQ shares pinout but differs in thermal resistance, hermetic sealing, and lead finish - requiring layout verification for thermal and reliability compliance. Always consult mechanical drawings before substitution.
