Product details
Overview
ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL from Analog Devices is a quad rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for low-power, low-noise sensor and portable audio signal conditioning. It delivers 3.6 MHz gain bandwidth, 16 nV/√Hz voltage noise density at 1 kHz, 180 µA per amplifier supply current, 0.5 pA typical input bias current, and operates from 2.7 V to 5 V single supply. It is used in photodiode amplifiers and low-side current sense circuits requiring high impedance, precision, and battery efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL datasheet, ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL pinout, ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL application, or ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual shutdown control architecture (SD A/B and SD C/D), 16-lead 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP package, −40°C to +125°C extended industrial temperature rating, and verified rail-to-rail output swing with <40 mV VOL (2 kΩ load) at 2.7 V.
Technical Context
The ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL implements a CMOS input stage with ultra-low input bias current and a fully differential output stage enabling true rail-to-rail operation. Its internal shutdown logic uses CMOS inverters per pair of amplifiers, with VIH = 1.6 V (2.7 V supply) and VIL = 0.5 V, allowing direct interface to 1.8 V logic without level shifting.
It features a stable unity-gain compensated design (ΦM = 49° at AV = +1, CL = 35 pF), supports capacitive loads up to 200 pF with controlled overshoot, and maintains 63 dB large-signal voltage gain across −40°C to +125°C at 2 kΩ load - critical for precision instrumentation front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 3.6 MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to ~300 kHz at AV = 12, suitable for anti-aliasing filters and ADC drivers. |
| Supply Current per Amplifier | 180 µA typical at 2.7 V - allows four-channel operation under 1 mA total, ideal for battery-powered medical sensors. |
| Input Bias Current | 0.5 pA typical - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance photodiode and pyroelectric sensor interfaces. |
| Voltage Noise Density | 16 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - ensures <0.003% THD+N in audio-band applications like smartphone line drivers. |
| Offset Voltage Drift | 4 µV/°C max - limits drift-induced error to <0.4 mV over 100°C range, critical for uncalibrated industrial transducers. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | VOL = 33 mV, VOH = 2.67 V (2.7 V supply, 2 kΩ load) - delivers >98% of full-scale dynamic range for 12-bit+ data acquisition. |
| Shutdown Current | 10 nA per shutdown state - reduces quiescent power by >99.99% when amplifiers are inactive, extending standby time. |
Pinout & Package
The ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL is housed in a 16-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP (CP-16-22) with exposed thermal pad connected to V–. Pin 1 is marked by ball A1 identifier; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance and EMI immunity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (–IN A) | Inverting input of Amplifier A | High-impedance node; accepts signals down to V– – 0.3 V; clamped to rails via internal diodes. |
| 2 (+IN A) | Non-inverting input of Amplifier A | Differential pair input; matched to Pin 1 for common-mode rejection >70 dB. |
| 3 (V+) | Positive supply rail | Accepts 2.7 V to 5 V single supply or +2.5 V in split-supply mode; decoupling required within 2 mm. |
| 4 (OUT B) | Output of Amplifier B | Rail-to-rail capable; drives 2 kΩ load to within 33 mV of V– and 33 mV of V+ at 2.7 V. |
| 5 (SD A/B) | Shutdown control for Amps A & B | CMOS-compatible input; <0.5 V disables both amps, >1.6 V enables; draws <1 µA leakage. |
| 6 (–IN B) | Inverting input of Amplifier B | Electrically isolated from other inputs; shares same IB and VOS distribution as Pin 1. |
| 7 (+IN B) | Non-inverting input of Amplifier B | Matched to Pin 6; supports differential input configurations with common-mode range to V+ – 0.3 V. |
| 8 (V–) | Negative supply rail / Ground reference | Return path for all supplies and shutdown logic; exposed pad must connect here for thermal compliance. |
| 9 (+IN C) | Non-inverting input of Amplifier C | Independent channel; identical AC/DC specs to Pins 2 and 7; no crosstalk coupling above –130 dB @ 10 kHz. |
| 10 (–IN C) | Inverting input of Amplifier C | Same input capacitance (2.5 pF diff, 7 pF common-mode) as all channels; supports charge amplifier topologies. |
| 11 (V+) | Positive supply rail (redundant) | Second V+ connection for improved PSRR; must be tied to same net as Pin 3 with low-inductance trace. |
| 12 (OUT D) | Output of Amplifier D | Full rail-to-rail swing; specified short-circuit current ±15 mA; safe for 600 Ω headphone loads. |
| 13 (–IN D) | Inverting input of Amplifier D | Valid for input voltages from V– – 0.3 V to V+ – 0.3 V; supports single-supply transimpedance designs. |
| 14 (+IN D) | Non-inverting input of Amplifier D | Matches Pin 9; enables 4-channel synchronous sampling in multi-sensor systems. |
| 15 (OUT A) | Output of Amplifier A | First output; tested for settling time ≤1 µs to 0.1% with 0.5 V step into 2 kΩ. |
| 16 (OUT C) | Output of Amplifier C | Identical drive strength to Pin 15; channel separation >−130 dB at 100 kHz ensures minimal inter-channel interference. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADA4692-4ARUZ | No shutdown pins; 14-lead TSSOP package; higher ISY (225 µA typ at 5 V); same GBW, noise, and VOS specs. | Lacks power-gating capability; unsuitable for duty-cycled sensor nodes but preferred for space-constrained PCBs with no need for shutdown. | Select ADA4692-4ARUZ only if shutdown functionality is unnecessary and TSSOP footprint is acceptable. |
| AD8694ARUZ | Higher supply current (525 µA/ch); no shutdown; 10 MHz GBW; 12 nV/√Hz noise; 8-lead SOIC or 14-lead TSSOP. | Better bandwidth and lower noise, but consumes >2× power; not rated for >105°C; lacks rail-to-rail output swing margin at low supply. | Choose AD8694ARUZ only when >3.6 MHz bandwidth is mandatory and thermal/power constraints allow. |
Compared with ADA4692-4ARUZ and AD8694ARUZ, the ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL uniquely combines quad-channel operation, dual-pair shutdown, 3.6 MHz bandwidth, and 0.5 pA input bias in a thermally efficient 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP - making it the sole option for compact, battery-operated, multi-sensor systems requiring active power management.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL?
The ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 6 V, but its recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 5 V single supply (or ±1.35 V to ±2.5 V dual supply). Operation beyond 5 V risks exceeding internal junction temperature limits and invalidates parametric guarantees per the datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL support true rail-to-rail input common-mode range?
No, the ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL supports rail-to-rail *output* swing but not rail-to-rail *input*. Its input common-mode voltage range is specified as V– – 0.3 V to V+ – 0.3 V (e.g., −0.3 V to +2.4 V at 2.7 V supply), meaning it cannot accept signals at the negative rail without external level-shifting circuitry.
How does the dual shutdown architecture of ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL work?
The ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL has two independent shutdown pins: SD A/B controls amplifiers A and B, while SD C/D controls amplifiers C and D. Each pin accepts CMOS logic levels (VIH ≥ 1.6 V, VIL ≤ 0.5 V at 2.7 V supply) and reduces supply current per pair to 10 nA when asserted - enabling selective channel power-down without affecting other amplifier sections.
Can ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL drive a 600 Ω load effectively?
Yes, the ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL is characterized driving 600 Ω loads: at 2.7 V supply, VOH = 2.55 V and VOL = 78 mV (typ), delivering >90% of full-scale swing. Its ±15 mA short-circuit current and 372 Ω closed-loop output impedance at 1 MHz ensure stability and fidelity in headphone and line-driver applications.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL package?
The ADA4691-4ACPZ-RL in its 16-lead LFCSP (CP-16-22) package has a thermal resistance θJA of 75°C/W when mounted on a standard 4-layer JEDEC board. This value assumes proper soldering of the exposed thermal pad to a solid copper plane - failure to do so increases junction temperature by >25°C under full 4-channel load.
