GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD8397 comprises two voltage feedback operational amplifiers

capable of driving heavy loads with excellent linearity. The

common-emitter, rail-to-rail output stage surpasses the output

voltage capability of typical emitter-follower output stages and

can swing to within 0.5 V of either rail while driving a 25 Ω

load. The low distortion, high output current, and wide output

dynamic range make the AD8397 ideal for applications that

require a large signal swing into a heavy load.

Fabricated with Analog Devices, Inc., high speed extra fast

complementary bipolar high voltage (XFCB-HV) process, the

high bandwidth and fast slew rate of the AD8397 keep distortion to

a minimum. The AD8397 is available in a standard 8-lead SOIC_N

package and, for higher power dissipating applications, a thermally

enhanced 8-lead SOIC_N_EP package. Both packages can operate

from −40°C to +85°C.
