Product details
Overview
AD8668ARZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a quad, rail-to-rail output, precision operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation from 5 V to 16 V. It delivers 4 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 2.5 mV max offset voltage, 1 pA max input bias current, and 8 nV/√Hz voltage noise at 10 kHz - enabling high-fidelity signal conditioning in photodiode amplification and medical physiological measurement circuits.
For engineers reviewing the AD8668ARZ-REEL7 datasheet, AD8668ARZ-REEL7 pinout, AD8668ARZ-REEL7 application, or AD8668ARZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its extended industrial temperature range (−40°C to +125°C), rail-to-rail output swing with <50 mV low-side saturation at 1 mA, and guaranteed unity-gain stability across supply voltages up to 16 V.
Technical Context
The AD8668ARZ-REEL7 implements a CMOS input stage delivering ultra-low input bias current (≤1 pA) and low input voltage noise (8 nV/√Hz @ 10 kHz), paired with a robust output stage capable of sourcing/sinking ±140 mA under 16 V supply. Its 4 MHz GBP and 3.5 V/μs slew rate support stable closed-loop operation in unity-gain and higher-gain configurations without external compensation.
Designed for wide common-mode input range (−0.1 V to +14.0 V at 16 V supply) and high PSRR (98 dB typical), the device maintains precision performance across varying supply conditions and load currents - critical for reference buffers driving high-resolution ADCs and level-shifting circuits interfacing mixed-voltage domains.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2188AIDR | Lower offset (25 μV typ), lower noise (5.6 nV/√Hz), but narrower supply (4.5–36 V dual only; not single-supply optimized) | Better for ultra-low-offset lab equipment; unsuitable for 5 V single-supply sensor nodes | Select OPA2188AIDR only when dual-supply ≥±2.25 V is available and sub-100 μV offset is mandatory |
| ADA4625-1ARZ | Higher bandwidth (80 MHz), lower noise (2.9 nV/√Hz), but higher supply current (3.2 mA vs. 1.55 mA) and no automotive qualification | Preferred for high-speed active filters; less suitable for battery-powered portable medical devices | Choose ADA4625-1ARZ when >10 MHz signal bandwidth is required and power budget allows 2× current draw |
Compared with OPA2188AIDR and ADA4625-1ARZ, AD8668ARZ-REEL7 uniquely balances rail-to-rail operation on 5 V, 1 pA input bias, −40°C to +125°C operation, and SOIC packaging - making it the optimal choice for cost-sensitive, high-impedance, single-supply industrial and automotive signal chains where precision and robustness coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for AD8668ARZ-REEL7?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for AD8668ARZ-REEL7 is 18 V, but the recommended operating range is 5 V to 16 V for both single- and dual-supply configurations. Operation at 16 V enables full rail-to-rail output swing (VOL ≤ 40 mV, VOH ≥ 15.94 V at 1 mA), while maintaining specified offset, noise, and bandwidth performance per the Rev. B datasheet.
Does AD8668ARZ-REEL7 support true rail-to-rail input?
No, AD8668ARZ-REEL7 features rail-to-rail *output* only. Its input common-mode voltage range extends from −0.1 V to V+ − 1.0 V (e.g., −0.1 V to +14.0 V at 16 V supply), meaning it does not accept signals at the positive rail. For true rail-to-rail input capability, consider the AD8605/AD8606/AD8608 family instead.
Is AD8668ARZ-REEL7 pin-compatible with other AD866x variants?
AD8668ARZ-REEL7 (14-lead SOIC_N) is not pin-compatible with AD8665 (5- or 8-lead) or AD8666 (8-lead); each member has distinct pin counts and layouts. However, all AD8668 variants - including AD8668ARZ-REEL7, AD8668ARUZ-REEL, and AD8668WARUZ-R7 - share identical 14-pin TSSOP/SOIC pinouts and electrical specifications, enabling direct substitution within the same package type.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of AD8668ARZ-REEL7?
The AD8668ARZ-REEL7 in 14-lead SOIC_N (R-14) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 120°C/W, as specified in Table 4 of the Rev. B datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2S2P test board conditions; actual PCB layout, copper area, and airflow will affect real-world thermal performance.
Can AD8668ARZ-REEL7 drive capacitive loads without oscillation?
AD8668ARZ-REEL7 is unity-gain stable but exhibits increasing overshoot with capacitive loads: Figure 21 shows ≤10% overshoot at 100 pF and ≤70% at 1000 pF (16 V supply). For loads >100 pF, a small series resistor (10–50 Ω) at the output is recommended to maintain stability, especially in photodiode transimpedance configurations where stray capacitance is unavoidable.
