Product details
Overview
ADA4861-3YRZ from Analog Devices is a high-speed, low-cost, current-feedback triple operational amplifier in a 14-lead SOIC_N package, delivering 730 MHz −3 dB bandwidth (±5 V), 625–910 V/μs slew rate, and 12 ns settling time to 0.5%. It features independent power-down pins per amplifier, 0.01% differential gain, and 0.02° differential phase-optimized for RGB video driver, ADC buffer, and active filter applications.
For engineers reviewing the ADA4861-3YRZ datasheet, ADA4861-3YRZ pinout, ADA4861-3YRZ application, or ADA4861-3YRZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its current-feedback architecture, 14-pin SOIC_N footprint with three dedicated POWER-DOWN terminals, supply range (5 V single-ended or ±5 V dual), and verified 100 MHz 0.1 dB flatness under ±5 V operation.
Technical Context
The ADA4861-3YRZ employs a current-feedback topology with transimpedance gain stage, enabling wide bandwidth independent of closed-loop gain-unlike voltage-feedback op amps. Its −IN input presents low impedance (~90 Ω), while +IN offers high impedance (15 MΩ), requiring matched feedback resistors (e.g., RF = RG = 301 Ω for G = +2) to maintain stability and bandwidth.
Each of the three amplifiers integrates an independent POWER-DOWN pin referenced to −VS, allowing selective shutdown with <0.5 mA/quiescent amplifier current. The device operates across −40°C to +105°C and supports both single-supply (5 V) and dual-supply (±5 V) configurations with rail-to-rail output swing into 150 Ω loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| −3 dB Bandwidth | 730 MHz at G = +1, ±5 V - enables baseband video and high-frequency signal conditioning without gain-dependent bandwidth loss. |
| Slew Rate | 910 V/μs (rising, ±5 V) - supports fast transient response for 2 V p-p signals with minimal distortion in video reconstruction. |
| Settling Time | 12 ns to 0.5% - ensures accurate pixel-level settling in high-resolution video DAC buffering and sampling systems. |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.01% / 0.02° - meets broadcast-grade video fidelity requirements for RGB and composite video signal paths. |
| Power-Down Current | 0.3 mA/amplifier - reduces total quiescent current from 18 mA to <1 mA when two amplifiers are disabled. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | −3.7 V to +3.7 V (±5 V) - allows dc-coupled inputs in dual-supply video and instrumentation front-ends. |
| Output Drive | ±3.65 V into 150 Ω - delivers full-swing video levels compliant with 75 Ω cable termination standards. |
Pinout & Package
The ADA4861-3YRZ is housed in a 14-lead SOIC_N (Small Outline Integrated Circuit, Narrow) package, 8.75 mm × 4.00 mm, with 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012-AB compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | POWER DOWN 1/2/3 | Independent TTL-compatible enable/disable control per amplifier; tied to −VS to disable, left open or <−4 V to enable (±5 V). |
| 4 | +VS | Positive supply pin; accepts 5 V to 12 V (single) or +5 V (dual); requires 0.1 µF + 2.2–47 µF bypassing. |
| 5, 10 | +IN 1, +IN 3 | Noninverting inputs; high-impedance (15 MΩ), low capacitance (1.5 pF) - suitable for high-Z sensor or DAC outputs. |
| 6, 9 | −IN 1, −IN 3 | Inverting inputs; low-impedance (~90 Ω) - mandates precise RF/RG matching to avoid peaking or instability. |
| 7, 8, 14 | OUT 1, OUT 3, OUT 2 | Amplifier outputs; capable of ±3.65 V swing into 150 Ω and sourcing/sinking 100 mA short-circuit current. |
| 11 | −VS | Negative supply pin; required for dual-supply operation (e.g., −5 V); defines power-down threshold reference. |
| 12, 13 | +IN 2, −IN 2 | Noninverting/inverting inputs for Amplifier 2; identical electrical characteristics to Amplifier 1 and 3. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-feedback architecture | Enables stable high bandwidth across gains (e.g., 730 MHz at G = +1, 370 MHz at G = +2) without compensation trade-offs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed triple op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADA4862-3YRZ | Integrated 301 Ω RF/RG resistors per channel; eliminates external gain-setting components and reduces board area by ~30%. | Better suited for fixed-G = +2 video drivers where layout simplicity and repeatability outweigh design flexibility. | Select ADA4862-3YRZ when minimizing BOM count and PCB real estate is prioritized over variable gain configuration. |
| THS3203DR | Higher slew rate (1600 V/μs) but no power-down pins; wider supply range (±15 V); higher quiescent current (12 mA/amplifier). | Preferred for high-voltage, high-fidelity test equipment where dynamic range exceeds video requirements. | Choose THS3203DR only if >±10 V output swing or >1 GHz small-signal bandwidth is required-otherwise ADA4861-3YRZ offers superior cost/power/video performance balance. |
Compared with ADA4862-3YRZ and THS3203DR, the ADA4861-3YRZ uniquely balances low cost, per-channel power-down control, and broadcast-grade video linearity in a standard SOIC_N package-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained, and multi-channel video systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended feedback resistor value for stable operation of the ADA4861-3YRZ?
The ADA4861-3YRZ datasheet specifies 301 Ω as the recommended feedback resistor for G = +2 operation. Increasing RF beyond this value reduces closed-loop bandwidth and may degrade phase margin; values above 604 Ω are not characterized for stability. For G = +1, RF = 499 Ω is validated. Exceeding these values risks peaking or oscillation, especially with capacitive loads.
Can the ADA4861-3YRZ operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No-the ADA4861-3YRZ has a minimum operating supply voltage of 5 V (single-ended) or ±5 V (dual). Operation below 5 V is outside specification and not guaranteed; output swing, bandwidth, and slew rate degrade significantly below rated supply. For 3.3 V systems, consider the ADA4851-3 or ADA4891-3 families instead.
How should unused POWER-DOWN pins be terminated on the ADA4861-3YRZ?
Unused POWER-DOWN pins on the ADA4861-3YRZ must be tied to −VS (not left floating) to ensure reliable amplifier enablement. In single-supply operation (+5 V, −VS = 0 V), connect PDx to ground. In dual-supply (±5 V), connect PDx to −5 V. Floating pins risk erratic enable/disable behavior due to noise coupling.
Does the ADA4861-3YRZ support dc-coupled inputs in single-supply mode?
Yes-the ADA4861-3YRZ supports dc-coupled inputs in single-supply mode when the input common-mode voltage remains within 1.2 V to 3.8 V (at +5 V supply). External biasing (e.g., resistor dividers or reference ICs) is required to establish valid input offset, as shown in Figure 53 of the datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the ADA4861-3YRZ in its SOIC_N package?
The ADA4861-3YRZ in the 14-lead SOIC_N package has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 90°C/W on a JEDEC-standard 4-layer board. This value assumes proper PCB copper pour, ground plane coverage, and decoupling-actual θJA improves with added copper area and airflow.
