Product details
Overview
AD848JNZ from Analog Devices is a high-speed, low-power monolithic operational amplifier optimized for closed-loop gains ≥5, featuring 175 MHz gain bandwidth, 300 V/µs slew rate (±15 V), and 1 mV max input offset voltage at +25°C. It delivers 80 ns settling time to 0.1% for a 10 V step and drives capacitive loads without instability - widely deployed in video line drivers and 8-/10-bit data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the AD848JNZ datasheet, AD848JNZ pinout, AD848JNZ application, or AD848JNZ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world application cards, and two confirmed alternative op amps with documented functional trade-offs for video, instrumentation, and signal conditioning designs.
Technical Context
The AD848JNZ uses Analog Devices' junction-isolated complementary bipolar (CB) process to achieve high-speed AC performance while maintaining low 4.8 mA quiescent current. Its internal compensation ensures stability at closed-loop gains of 5 or greater, distinguishing it from the decompensated AD849 (stable only at gains >24).
It operates across ±5 V and ±15 V supplies, delivering ±3 V output swing into 150 Ω, 92 dB minimum CMRR, and full-power bandwidth >20 MHz (2 Vp-p, ±5 V). Laser wafer trimming guarantees ≤1 mV input offset voltage without external nulling in most applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth | 175 MHz at ±15 V - enables stable amplification of signals up to ~175 MHz at unity gain, but rated for use ≥5× closed-loop gain. |
| Slew Rate | 300 V/µs at ±15 V - supports clean 10 V step response within 100 ns and 24 MHz full-power bandwidth (2 Vp-p). |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1 mV max at +25°C - eliminates need for external nulling in precision DC-coupled video and DAQ front-ends. |
| Supply Current | 4.8 mA typical at ±5 V - achieves high speed with low power, critical for multi-channel instrumentation. |
| Settling Time | 100 ns to 0.1% for 10 V step at ±15 V - meets timing requirements for fast-switching sample-and-hold and pulse amplification. |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.07% / 0.088° at 4.4 MHz - meets broadcast video fidelity standards for composite and component video paths. |
| Capacitive Load Drive | Stable into any capacitive load - allows direct connection to cables, ADC inputs, or long PCB traces without isolation resistors. |
Pinout & Package
AD848JNZ is supplied in an 8-pin plastic DIP (N-8) package with standard dual-in-line footprint and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; leads are tin-lead plated for compatibility with standard wave soldering.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null | Connects to external potentiometer wiper for fine-tuning input offset; optional in most applications due to laser-trimmed 1 mV max spec. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–IN) | High-impedance input node; requires impedance matching (e.g., RB resistor) to minimize bias-current-induced errors. |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input (+IN) | DC-coupled input with ±3.4 V common-mode range at ±5 V supplies; used for unity-gain buffers or non-inverting configurations. |
| 4 | –VS | Negative supply rail; must be bypassed with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed <1 cm from pin to reduce high-frequency noise coupling. |
| 5 | Null | Second offset null terminal; used with Pin 1 to form balanced nulling network per Figure 3 in datasheet. |
| 6 | Output | Capable of ±3 V swing into 150 Ω; drives terminated coaxial cables (e.g., 75 Ω) directly without external buffering. |
| 7 | +VS | Positive supply rail; same bypassing requirement as Pin 4; supports operation from ±4.5 V to ±18 V. |
| 8 | No Connect (NC) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no routing or grounding permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated architecture | Guarantees stability at closed-loop gains ≥5 without external compensation components - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count. |
| Laser-trimmed input offset | ≤1 mV max eliminates need for manual nulling in video line drivers and data acquisition front-ends, improving production yield. |
| Capacitive load immunity | Remains stable driving 100–1000 pF loads (e.g., unterminated cables or ADC input capacitance), avoiding oscillation without series isolation. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from ±4.5 V to ±18 V - supports both low-voltage portable instrumentation and industrial ±15 V systems. |
| Low input voltage noise | 5 nV/√Hz at 10 kHz - preserves SNR in pre-amplifier stages for RF and high-resolution analog signal chains. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM6164IM/NOPB | 100 MHz GBW, 3600 V/µs slew rate, 2.5 mA IQ; not internally compensated - requires external compensation for gains <10. | Lower bandwidth but higher slew rate; better suited for very fast pulse amplification than video fidelity. | Select LM6164IM/NOPB when ultra-fast transient response outweighs video linearity requirements. |
| EL2020CSZ | 200 MHz GBW, 2000 V/µs slew rate, 10 mA IQ; unity-gain stable; differential gain 0.05% at 4.4 MHz. | Higher power consumption but superior video specs; requires ±15 V only - not rated for ±5 V operation. | Choose EL2020CSZ for broadcast-grade video where 0.05% differential gain is mandatory and power budget allows. |
Compared with AD848JNZ, LM6164IM/NOPB offers faster slewing but lower bandwidth and no guaranteed video linearity, while EL2020CSZ delivers tighter video specs at higher power and narrower supply flexibility - making AD848JNZ the optimal balance of speed, fidelity, and efficiency for general-purpose high-speed analog signal paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum stable closed-loop gain for AD848JNZ?
The AD848JNZ is internally compensated and specified as stable for closed-loop gains of 5 or greater. Attempting unity-gain or gain-of-2 configurations may result in peaking or oscillation - for lower gains, consider the AD847 (unity-gain stable) or AD849 (requires gain ≥24). This gain constraint is inherent to the AD848JNZ's compensation architecture and is verified across temperature and supply conditions in the datasheet.
Does AD848JNZ require external offset nulling in typical applications?
No - the AD848JNZ features laser wafer trimming that guarantees ≤1 mV input offset voltage at +25°C, eliminating external nulling in most video, DAQ, and line driver applications. Pins 1 and 5 are provided for optional fine adjustment, but are unused in production designs unless sub-millivolt DC accuracy is required over full temperature range.
Can AD848JNZ operate from a single +5 V supply?
No - the AD848JNZ is a dual-supply operational amplifier specified only for symmetric ±4.5 V to ±18 V operation. It does not support single-supply configurations; its input common-mode range extends to ±3.4 V with ±5 V supplies, and output swing is centered at ground. For single-supply designs, consider the AD8051 or ADA4891 family instead of AD848JNZ.
What is the recommended power supply bypassing for AD848JNZ?
Analog Devices specifies 0.1 µF ceramic disc capacitors placed as close as possible (<1 cm) to both +VS (Pin 7) and –VS (Pin 4), connected directly to a low-inductance ground plane. Additional bulk capacitance (e.g., 10 µF tantalum) may be added at the board edge, but local high-frequency decoupling is mandatory to prevent oscillation and preserve 175 MHz bandwidth - a requirement explicitly called out in the "Grounding and Bypassing" section of the AD848JNZ datasheet.
Is AD848JNZ pin-compatible with other op amps like HA2520 or EL2020?
The AD848JNZ is documented as a functional replacement for HA2520/2/5 and EL2020 in applications where closed-loop gain is ≥5, but it is not pin-compatible - HA2520 uses 8-pin metal-can packaging with different pin assignments, and EL2020 uses 8-pin SOIC with distinct pinout. The AD848JNZ follows standard DIP-8 op amp pinout (Pin 2 = –IN, Pin 3 = +IN, Pin 6 = OUT), enabling drop-in replacement only for legacy DIP-8 op amps with identical pin mapping.
