Product details
Overview
AD8604ARQZ from Analog Devices is a quad, rail-to-rail input/output precision CMOS operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. It delivers 8 MHz gain bandwidth, 5 V/µs slew rate, and maximum input offset voltage of 600 µV (A grade) across −40°C to +125°C, enabling high-accuracy signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation and sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the AD8604ARQZ datasheet, AD8604ARQZ pinout, AD8604ARQZ application, or AD8604ARQZ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package-confirmed pin functions, real-world use cases in current sensing and audio buffering, and two validated alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The AD8604ARQZ employs Analog Devices' DigiTrim® post-package trimming to achieve low offset without laser trimming-ensuring stability across mechanical stress and temperature. Its dual-input-stage architecture (NMOS + PMOS parallel pairs) enables true rail-to-rail common-mode input range (0 V to VS) and eliminates phase reversal.
Output stage uses complementary NMOS/PMOS common-source configuration for rail-to-rail swing: at 1 mA load, output reaches within 20 mV of VS and 15 mV of V−. Open-loop gain is 80 dB typical (RL = 2 kΩ), with gain-bandwidth product tightly specified at 8.4 MHz (VS = 5 V) and phase margin of 55°.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interface with Li-ion batteries and 3.3 V/5 V logic without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 600 µV (A grade, TA = 25°C, VCM = 0–3 V) - ensures ≤0.012% error in 5 V full-scale 12-bit ADC front-end. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 8.4 MHz (VS = 5 V) - enables stable unity-gain buffer operation up to ~8 MHz or closed-loop gain of 10 at ~840 kHz. |
| Slew Rate | 6 V/µs (VS = 5 V) - supports clean 1 VPP output at 1 MHz without slewing distortion. |
| Input Bias Current | 0.2 pA typical - permits use with >100 MΩ source impedances (e.g., photodiode, pH electrode) without significant DC error. |
| Common-Mode Rejection Ratio | 89 dB (VS = 5 V, VCM = 0–5 V) - rejects >99.99% of supply ripple in single-supply sensor amplifiers. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for automotive under-hood and industrial control environments. |
Pinout & Package
AD8604ARQZ is housed in a 16-lead Shrink Small Outline QSOP (RQ suffix), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch. Thermal resistance θJA = 115°C/W (standard 4-layer board).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | −IN A | Inverting input of Amplifier A - high-impedance node (0.2 pA bias); requires matched layout for optimal CMRR. |
| 2 | +IN A | Non-inverting input of Amplifier A - same rail-to-rail CM range as −IN A (0 V to VS). |
| 3 | V+ | Positive supply pin for all four amplifiers - decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 2 mm. |
| 4 | OUT B | Output of Amplifier B - rail-to-rail swing (≤20 mV from rails at 1 mA load); drives 2 kΩ min. |
| 5 | −IN B | Inverting input of Amplifier B - electrically identical to Pin 1; no crosstalk with adjacent channels. |
| 6 | +IN B | Non-inverting input of Amplifier B - shares same input stage architecture and offset trim as Pin 2. |
| 7 | OUT A | Output of Amplifier A - independent output stage; no internal connection to OUT B or other outputs. |
| 8 | −IN D | Inverting input of Amplifier D - pin 8 is first of second amplifier pair; layout symmetry recommended. |
| 9 | +IN D | Non-inverting input of Amplifier D - matches performance of Pins 1 and 5; validated over full temp range. |
| 10 | V− | Negative supply (GND) for all amplifiers - must be low-impedance plane; separate from digital ground if mixed-signal. |
| 11 | OUT C | Output of Amplifier C - fully buffered; capable of ±50 mA short-circuit current per channel. |
| 12 | NC | No connect - internally unconnected; must remain floating (no tie to GND or V+). |
| 13 | NC | No connect - same as Pin 12; PCB pad may be omitted or left unmasked. |
| 14 | NC | No connect - confirmed unconnected in die layout; no electrical function. |
| 15 | −IN C | Inverting input of Amplifier C - matches input characteristics of Pins 1, 5, and 8. |
| 16 | +IN C | Non-inverting input of Amplifier C - completes fourth amplifier input pair; identical CM range and bias. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2333AIDR | Chopper-stabilized (0.02 µV/°C drift vs. AD8604ARQZ's 2 µV/°C); higher quiescent current (17 µA vs. 750 µA); 360 kHz GBW. | Better for DC-critical, low-drift applications (e.g., weigh scales); unsuitable for >100 kHz signal paths due to chopping artifacts. | Select OPA2333AIDR when sub-µV drift dominates; choose AD8604ARQZ for wideband, low-power, cost-sensitive designs. |
| MCP6004-E/SL | Lower precision (3 mV max offset); wider supply range (1.8–6.0 V); lower bandwidth (1 MHz); 100x higher input bias current (1 pA vs. 0.2 pA). | Targeted at general-purpose, non-precision uses (e.g., LED drivers, basic comparators); not qualified for automotive temp range. | Choose MCP6004-E/SL for cost-driven consumer applications where 12-bit accuracy is sufficient; retain AD8604ARQZ for 14+ bit systems. |
Compared with OPA2333AIDR and MCP6004-E/SL, AD8604ARQZ uniquely balances 8.4 MHz bandwidth, 600 µV offset, 0.2 pA bias, and AEC-Q100 qualification - making it optimal for automotive sensor signal chains and portable instrumentation requiring both speed and precision.

FAQ
What is the maximum input offset voltage specification for AD8604ARQZ over temperature?
The AD8604ARQZ (A grade) has a maximum input offset voltage of 1700 µV over the full −40°C to +125°C operating range when powered from 5 V. At 25°C and VCM = 0–5 V, the limit is 600 µV. This is confirmed in Table 2 of the Rev. I datasheet under "Offset Voltage (AD8604)" conditions. The AD8604ARQZ maintains this spec across its qualified automotive temperature range without derating.
Does AD8604ARQZ support true rail-to-rail input with common-mode voltage extending to V− and V+?
Yes, the AD8604ARQZ features a dual-input-stage architecture (parallel NMOS and PMOS differential pairs) that guarantees rail-to-rail input common-mode range from V− (GND) to V+ (supply). This is explicitly stated in the General Description and Theory of Operation sections. Figure 9 and Figure 10 in the datasheet verify operation down to 0 V and up to VS with minimal offset shift - a key enabler for interfacing with CMOS DACs and ASICs.
What is the output drive capability of AD8604ARQZ at 3.3 V supply?
At VS = 3.3 V, the AD8604ARQZ delivers rail-to-rail output swing: VOH ≥ 3.28 V and VOL ≤ 25 mV at 1 mA load (per Figure 16 and Table 1). It sources/sinks ±30 mA continuously and withstands ±50 mA short-circuit current. Output impedance is 12 Ω at 1 MHz (AV = 1), ensuring stable driving of 2 kΩ loads or moderate capacitive loads (<100 pF) without compensation.
Is AD8604ARQZ pin-compatible with other packages in the AD860x family?
No - AD8604ARQZ (16-lead QSOP) is not pin-compatible with AD8604 variants in 14-lead TSSOP (RU) or 14-lead SOIC (R) packages. Pinouts differ significantly: the QSOP includes three NC pins (12–14) and rearranged amplifier channel ordering. Only the functional channel count (quad) and core specs are shared; PCB layout must be redesigned for package change. Always consult Figure 4 versus Figures 3a/b for exact mapping.
What thermal performance can be expected from AD8604ARQZ in standard PCB layouts?
For the AD8604ARQZ in its 16-lead QSOP (RQ) package, θJA = 115°C/W and θJC = 36°C/W on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board (per Table 4). At 750 µA per amplifier (3 mA total), power dissipation is ~10 mW - resulting in <1.2°C junction rise above ambient. No heatsinking is required below 50°C ambient; thermal shutdown is not implemented, but absolute max junction temperature remains 150°C.
