Product details
Overview
AD8626ARM-R2 from Analog Devices is a dual-channel, precision JFET-input operational amplifier in an 8-lead MSOP package. It delivers rail-to-rail output swing, 5 MHz gain bandwidth, ≤500 µV max offset voltage, and 1 pA max input bias current at 25°C - enabling high-accuracy signal conditioning in single-supply (5 V to 26 V) or dual-supply (±2.5 V to ±13 V) systems for photodiode preamplifiers and DAC output buffers.
For engineers reviewing the AD8626ARM-R2 datasheet, AD8626ARM-R2 pinout, AD8626ARM-R2 application, or AD8626ARM-R2 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation insights, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application-level differences.
Technical Context
The AD8626ARM-R2 uses n-channel JFET input transistors to achieve picoampere-level input bias current and low voltage noise (17.5 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz). Its bipolar rail-to-rail output stage delivers <5 mV dropout at ±2 mA load, supporting full dynamic range in single-supply instrumentation.
It features unity-gain stability, no phase reversal under rail-stressing inputs, and maintains CMRR >87 dB (typ) over 0–2.5 V common-mode range. The device is fully specified across −40°C to +85°C and supports capacitive loads up to 500 pF without oscillation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 5 MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to 100 kHz full-power bandwidth with 20 VPP signals. |
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA max at 25°C - minimizes DC error in high-impedance photodiode or precision filter feedback networks. |
| Offset Voltage | 500 µV max - ensures ≤0.01% gain error in 14-bit DAC buffer applications with 5 V reference. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swings within 5 mV of rails at ±2 mA - preserves >99.8% of supply voltage range for maximum ADC input utilization. |
| Supply Current per Amp | 630 µA typ - allows dual-channel operation at <1.3 mA total, critical for battery-powered line-powered instrumentation. |
| Input Voltage Range | 0 V to 3 V on 5 V supply - extends 0.2 V below negative rail, enabling true ground-sensing in single-supply sensor interfaces. |
| CMRR | 87 dB typ - rejects common-mode noise from shared power rails in multi-channel industrial control modules. |
Pinout & Package
AD8626ARM-R2 is housed in an 8-lead MSOP (RM suffix) package with 0.65 mm pitch, 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm footprint, and exposed pad for thermal enhancement (θJA = 210°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - V+ | Positive Supply Rail | Accepts 5 V to 26 V single supply or +2.5 V to +13 V dual supply; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm. |
| 2 - –IN A | Inverting Input (Channel A) | High-impedance JFET node; guard ring routing recommended to maintain pA-level leakage performance. |
| 3 - +IN A | Noninverting Input (Channel A) | Common-mode range extends 0.2 V below V–; avoid driving >2 V below V+ to prevent bandwidth loss. |
| 4 - V– | Negative Supply Rail | Connect to ground (single-supply) or −2.5 V to −13 V (dual-supply); low-impedance return path essential. |
| 5 - OUT A | Output (Channel A) | Rail-to-rail capable; drives ≥10 kΩ loads directly; add series resistor if driving >500 pF capacitance. |
| 6 - OUT B | Output (Channel B) | Independent output; shares same supply pins; channel separation >104 dB at 1 kHz prevents crosstalk in dual-sensor systems. |
| 7 - +IN B | Noninverting Input (Channel B) | Electrically identical to Pin 3; supports independent dual-channel configuration without inter-channel coupling. |
| 8 - –IN B | Inverting Input (Channel B) | Matches Pin 2 performance; enables simultaneous differential sensing or dual-path filtering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal | Eliminates catastrophic output inversion when inputs exceed V+ - critical for automotive sensor front-ends with transient overvoltage. |
| 5 MHz bandwidth + 5 V/µs slew rate | Supports 50 kHz full-swing signals (20 VPP) with <0.1% settling error - suitable for fast DAC output buffering. |
| 1 pA input bias current | Reduces dark-current-induced error in photodiode preamps using >1 MΩ feedback resistors by >100× vs. bipolar op amps. |
| Rail-to-rail input & output | Enables direct interfacing with CMOS DACs and ASICs operating at 0–5 V logic levels without level-shifting circuitry. |
| −40°C to +85°C operation | Validated performance across industrial temperature range - no derating required for embedded control or remote sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel JFET-input op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2140IDGKR | Lower input bias current (0.2 pA), higher GBP (11 MHz), but higher quiescent current (1.5 mA/amp). | Better for ultra-high-Z pH sensors; less suitable for battery-powered devices due to 2.3× higher supply current. | Select when sub-0.5 pA bias is mandatory and power budget allows >2× increase in IQ. |
| ADA4625-2ARMZ | Higher slew rate (35 V/µs), wider GBP (18 MHz), but larger offset (600 µV max) and no MSOP-8 option (only SOIC-8). | Preferred for fast-settling DAC buffers requiring <100 ns settling; not drop-in for space-constrained MSOP layouts. | Select when speed dominates accuracy, and PCB layout permits SOIC-8 footprint. |
Compared with OPA2140IDGKR and ADA4625-2ARMZ, AD8626ARM-R2 offers optimal balance of ultra-low input current, rail-to-rail output, compact MSOP-8 packaging, and sub-1.3 mA total supply current - making it the preferred choice for size- and power-sensitive dual-channel precision analog signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the AD8626ARM-R2 can drive without instability?
The AD8626ARM-R2 remains stable with capacitive loads up to 500 pF when configured as a unity-gain buffer, as verified in Figure 31 and Figure 32 of the Rev. F datasheet. For loads exceeding 500 pF, a series resistor (≥10 Ω) between the output and capacitor restores phase margin. This capability eliminates the need for external isolation networks in photodiode transimpedance or DAC output stages where stray capacitance is unavoidable. AD8626ARM-R2's internal compensation ensures robustness without external components in most standard PCB layouts.
Does the AD8626ARM-R2 support true rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes - the AD8626ARM-R2's input common-mode voltage range extends from 0.2 V below V– to 2 V below V+, enabling true rail-to-rail input on the negative side and near-rail operation on the positive side. On a 5 V supply, this means inputs can go from −0.2 V to +3.0 V. Driving the input above +3.0 V increases common-mode error and reduces bandwidth, as shown in Figure 15. AD8626ARM-R2 does not exhibit phase reversal even when inputs exceed V+, unlike many legacy JFET op amps.
How does the AD8626ARM-R2 perform in photodiode preamplifier circuits compared to bipolar-input op amps?
AD8626ARM-R2 reduces photodiode preamp output error by >100× versus typical bipolar op amps due to its 1 pA max input bias current - translating to <0.75 µV error with a 1.5 MΩ feedback resistor. Its 17.5 nV/√Hz voltage noise and 0.4 fA/√Hz current noise also minimize total integrated noise in high-source-impedance configurations. AD8626ARM-R2's low offset (500 µV max) and drift (2.5 µV/°C) further ensure stable DC accuracy across temperature, making it superior for low-light, high-gain photodiode applications where bipolar alternatives introduce significant dark-current error.
Can the AD8626ARM-R2 be used in dual-supply configurations with ±2.5 V?
Yes - the AD8626ARM-R2 is fully specified for dual-supply operation from ±2.5 V to ±13 V. At ±2.5 V, it delivers rail-to-rail output swing (±2.42 V at ±2 mA), 630 µA typical supply current per amplifier, and maintains 5 MHz gain bandwidth. Input common-mode range spans −2.7 V to +0.5 V, allowing ground-referenced signal acquisition. Table 2 in the Rev. F datasheet confirms all key parameters (offset, CMRR, PSRR, noise) remain valid at ±2.5 V, making AD8626ARM-R2 suitable for low-voltage portable medical sensors and handheld test gear.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the AD8626ARM-R2 in its MSOP-8 package?
The AD8626ARM-R2 in the 8-lead MSOP (RM) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 210°C/W, as specified in Table 4 of the Rev. F datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. With its 630 µA typical supply current per amplifier, total power dissipation is ~3.2 mW at 5 V - resulting in <0.7°C junction-to-ambient rise under still-air conditions. The exposed pad variant (RM-8) further improves thermal performance, supporting reliable operation in sealed enclosures or high-density industrial PCBs where airflow is limited. AD8626ARM-R2's low power and favorable θJA eliminate need for heatsinking in most applications.
