is ideal for use in applications which require unity gain stability
and high output drive capability, such as buffering and cable
driving. The 50 MHz bandwidth and 350 V/µs slew rate make
the AD826 useful in many high speed applications including:

AD826
The AD826 features high output current drive capability of
50 mA min per amp, and is able to drive unlimited capacitive
loads. With a low power supply current of 15 mA max for both
amplifiers, the AD826 is a true general purpose operational
amplifier.
The AD826 is ideal for power sensitive applications such as video
cameras and portable instrumentation. The AD826 can operate
from a single +5 V supply, while still achieving 25 MHz of bandwidth. Furthermore the AD826 is fully specified from a single
+5 V to ± 15 V power supplies.
The AD826 excels as an ADC/DAC buffer or active filter in
data acquisition systems and achieves a settling time of 70 ns
to 0.01%, with a low input offset voltage of 2 mV max. The
AD826 is available in small 8-lead plastic mini-DIP and SO
packages.

ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges
as high as 4000 volts, which readily accumulate on the human
body and on test equipment, can discharge without detection.
Although the AD826 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may still occur on these devices
if they are subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges.
Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid
any performance degradation or loss of functionality.
NOTES
1
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only; functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability .

AD826
THEORY OF OPERATION
INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
The AD826 is a low cost, wide band, high performance dual
operational amplifier which can drive heavy capacitive and
resistive loads. It also achieves a constant slew rate, bandwidth
and settling time over its entire specified temperature range.
An input protection resistor (RIN in Figure 25) is required in
circuits where the input to the AD826 will be subjected to
transient or continuous overload voltages exceeding the ± 6 V
maximum differential limit. This resistor provides protection for
the input transistors by limiting their maximum base current.
The AD826 (Figure 35) consists of a degenerated NPN differential pair driving matched PNPs in a folded-cascode gain stage.
The output buffer stage employs emitter followers in a class AB
amplifier which delivers the necessary current to the load while
maintaining low levels of distortion.
+VS
For high performance circuits, it is recommended that a “balancing” resistor be used to reduce the offset errors caused by
bias current flowing through the input and feedback resistors.
The balancing resistor equals the parallel combination of RIN
and RF and thus provides a matched impedance at each input
terminal. The offset voltage error will then be reduced by more
than an order of magnitude.

The AD826 is a breakthrough dual amp that delivers precision
and speed at low cost with low power consumption. The AD826
offers excellent static and dynamic matching characteristics,
combined with the ability to drive heavy resistive and capacitive
loads.
As with all high frequency circuits, care should be taken to maintain overall device performance as well as their matching. The
following items are presented as general design considerations.

Figure 35. Simplified Schematic
The capacitor, CF, in the output stage mitigates the effect of
capacitive loads. With low capacitive loads, the gain from the
compensation node to the output is very close to unity. In this
case, CF is bootstrapped and does not contribute to the overall
compensation capacitance of the device. As the capacitive load
is increased, a pole is formed with the output impedance of the
output stage. This reduces the gain, and therefore, CF is
incompletely bootstrapped. Effectively, some fraction of CF
contributes to the overall compensation capacitance, reducing
the unity gain bandwidth. As the load capacitance is further
increased, the bandwidth continues to fall, maintaining the
stability of the amplifier.
Input and output runs should be laid out so as to physically
isolate them from remaining runs. In addition, the feedback
resistor of each amplifier should be placed away from the
feedback resistor of the other amplifier, since this greatly
reduces inter-amp coupling.
Choosing Feedback and Gain Resistors
In order to prevent the stray capacitance present at each amplifier’s
summing junction from limiting its performance, the feedback
resistors should be ≤ 1 kΩ. Since the summing junction capacitance may cause peaking, a small capacitor (1 pF–5 pF) may
be paralleled with RF to neutralize this effect. Finally, sockets
should be avoided, because of their tendency to increase interlead
capacitance.
Power Supply Bypassing
Proper power supply decoupling is critical to preserve the
integrity of high frequency signals. In carefully laid out designs,
decoupling capacitors should be placed in close proximity to the
supply pins, while their lead lengths should be kept to a minimum. These measures greatly reduce undesired inductive effects
on the amplifier’s response.
Though two 0.1 µF capacitors will typically be effective in
decoupling the supplies, several capacitors of different values
can be paralleled to cover a wider frequency range.

An exciting feature of the AD826 is its ability to perform well in a
single supply configuration (see Figure 37). The AD826 is ideally
suited for applications that require low power dissipation and high
output current and those which need to drive large capacitive
loads, such as high speed buffering and instrumentation.
Referring to Figure 36, careful consideration should be given to
the proper selection of component values. The choices for this
particular circuit are: (R1 + R3)储R2 combine with C1 to form a

The values for RL and CL were chosen to demonstrate the
AD826’s exceptional output drive capability. In this configuration, the output is centered around 2.5 V. In order to eliminate
the static dc current associated with this level, C3 was inserted
in series with RL.

By taking advantage of the superior matching characteristics of
the AD826, enhanced performance can easily be achieved by
employing the circuit in Figure 38. Here, two identical cells are
paralleled to obtain even higher load driving capability than that
of a single amplifier (100 mA min guaranteed). R1 and R2 are
included to limit current flow between amplifier outputs that
would arise in the presence of any residual mismatch.

SINGLE-ENDED TO DIFFERENTIAL LINE DRIVER
Outstanding CMRR (> 80 dB @ 5 MHz), high bandwidth, wide
supply voltage range, and the ability to drive heavy loads, make
the AD826 an ideal choice for many line driving applications.
In this application, the AD830 high speed video difference
amp serves as the differential line receiver on the end of a back
terminated, 50 ft., twisted-pair transmission line (see Figure 40).
The overall system is configured in a gain of +1 and has a –3 dB
bandwidth of 14 MHz. Figure 39 is the pulse response with a
2 V p-p, 1 MHz signal input.

The AD826 can quickly be turned into a powerful, low distortion line driver (see Figure 41). In this arrangement the AD826
can comfortably drive a 75 Ω back-terminated cable, with a
5 MHz, 2 V p-p input; all of this while achieving the harmonic
distortion performance outlined in the following table.

In this application one half of the AD826 operates at a gain of
2.1 and supplies the current to the load, while the other provides the overall system gain of 2. This is important for two
reasons: the first is to keep the bandwidth of both amplifiers the
same, and the second is to preserve the AD826’s ability to operate from low supply voltages. RC varies with the load and must
be chosen to satisfy the following equation:

HIGH PERFORMANCE ADC BUFFER

Figure 42 is a schematic of a 12-bit high speed analog-to-digital
converter. The AD826 dual op amp takes a single ended input
and drives the AD872 A/D converter differentially, thus reducing 2nd harmonic distortion. Figure 43 is a FFT of a 1 MHz
input, sampled at 10 MHz with a THD of –78 dB. The AD826
can be used to amplify low level signals so that the entire range
of the converter is used. The ability of the AD826 to perform on
a ± 5 volt supply or even with a single 5 volts combined with its
rapid settling time and ability to deliver high current to complicated loads make it a very good flash A/D converter buffer as
well as a very useful general purpose building block.
