Product details
Overview
ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 from Analog Devices is a single-channel, high-voltage zero-drift operational amplifier with rail-to-rail output, 4.5 μV max offset voltage, 0.05 μV/°C max drift (LFCSP), and 130 dB min CMRR. It operates from 4.5 V to 30 V single supply or ±2.25 V to ±15 V dual supply, consuming ≤0.95 mA, and targets precision DC-coupled sensor signal conditioning in harsh industrial environments.
For engineers reviewing the ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 datasheet, ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 pinout, ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 application, or ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (8-lead LFCSP), validated rail-to-rail output swing under load, confirmed zero-drift architecture with auto-zero + chopping, and real-world design meaning for thermocouple, strain gage, and medical instrumentation use cases.
Technical Context
The ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 implements a patented ping-pong auto-zeroing and chopping architecture with 8 kHz auto-zero and 16 kHz chopping frequencies, eliminating 1/f noise and enabling ultralow drift over −40°C to +125°C. Its input stage uses transconductance amplifiers A1/A2 with nulling amplifiers A3/A4 and storage capacitors C1–C4 to dynamically correct offset in alternating phases.
It features input common-mode range extending to the negative rail, no output phase reversal, and ESD protection diodes on both inputs referenced to supply rails. The exposed thermal pad must be connected to V− per datasheet Note 2, and the four NC pins are electrically isolated with no internal connection.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD8628ARZ | Lower supply voltage (5 V max), 5 μV offset, 0.02 μV/°C drift, SOIC-8 only | Optimized for battery-powered portable instruments; not rated for 30 V operation | Select AD8628ARZ when supply is ≤5 V and ultra-low drift dominates over voltage range |
| ADA4528-1ARMZ | 2.5 μV offset, 0.015 μV/°C drift, 16 V max supply, MSOP-8 package | Better drift spec but limited to 16 V; lacks 30 V capability for industrial 24 V systems | Choose ADA4528-1ARMZ for highest DC accuracy in ≤16 V medical or test equipment |
Compared with AD8628ARZ and ADA4528-1ARMZ, the ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 uniquely combines 30 V operation, 0.05 μV/°C drift, and rail-to-rail output-making it the only option for high-voltage, high-accuracy sensor conditioning where supply headroom and thermal stability are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7?
The ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 33 V, with guaranteed operation from 4.5 V to 30 V single supply or ±2.25 V to ±15 V dual supplies. Exceeding 33 V risks permanent damage per datasheet Table 5 Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 is internally compensated and stable at unity gain (AV = +1). Datasheet Figure 23 and Figure 26 confirm ≥64° phase margin across operating conditions, and no external compensation components are needed for standard configurations.
How does the exposed thermal pad on the ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 package function?
The exposed pad on the ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 LFCSP package must be soldered to the V− net per datasheet Note 2. This connection provides critical thermal dissipation (θJC = 12°C/W) and reduces junction temperature rise by up to 40°C versus floating-pad layouts, ensuring reliability at full 30 V supply.
Can the ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 drive capacitive loads directly?
The ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 can drive up to 100 pF capacitive loads while maintaining stability, as shown in Figures 39 and 42 (overshoot <10%). For larger loads, an isolation resistor (e.g., 10–100 Ω) between OUT and the capacitor is recommended to prevent peaking or oscillation.
What is the input voltage range specification for the ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 at 30 V supply?
At VS = 30 V, the ADA4638-1ACPZ-R7 input common-mode voltage range extends from 0 V to 27 V (VSY/2 = 15 V nominal, but full range is rail-to-rail minus 3 V headroom). This allows direct interfacing with sensors referenced to ground or mid-supply without level-shifting circuitry.
