FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The AD8610/AD8620 are manufactured on the Analog Devices,

Inc., XFCB (eXtra fast complementary bipolar) process. XFCB

is fully dielectrically isolated (DI) and used in conjunction with

N-channel JFET technology and thin film resistors (that can be

trimmed) to create the JFET input amplifier. Dielectrically isolated

NPN and PNP transistors fabricated on XFCB have an fτ > 3 GHz.

Low TC thin film resistors enable very accurate offset voltage and

offset voltage temperature coefficient trimming. These process

breakthroughs allow Analog Devices IC designers to create an

amplifier with faster slew rate and more than 50% higher band-

width at half of the current consumed by its closest competition.

The AD8610/AD8620 are unconditionally stable in all gains,

even with capacitive loads well in excess of 1 nF. The AD8610B

grade achieves less than 100 μV of offset and 1 μV/°C of offset

drift, numbers usually associated with very high precision bipolar

input amplifiers. The AD8610 is offered in the tiny 8-lead MSOP

as well as narrow 8-lead SOIC surface-mount packages and is

fully specified with supply voltages from ±5.0 V to ±13 V. The

very wide specified temperature range, up to 125°C, guarantees

superior operation in systems with little or no active cooling.

The unique input architecture of the AD8610/AD8620 features

extremely low input bias currents and very low input offset voltage.

Low power consumption minimizes the die temperature and

maintains the very low input bias current. Unlike many competi-

tive JFET amplifiers, the AD8610/AD8620 input bias currents are

low even at elevated temperatures. Typical bias currents are less

than 200 pA at 85°C. The gate current of a JFET doubles every

10°C, resulting in a similar increase in input bias current over

temperature. Give special care to the PC board layout to minimize

leakage currents between PCB traces. Improper layout and

board handling generates a leakage current that exceeds the bias

current of the AD8610/AD8620.

Power Consumption

A major advantage of the AD8610/AD8620 in new designs is

the power saving capability. Lower power consumption of the

AD8610/AD8620 makes them much more attractive for portable

instrumentation and for high density systems, simplifying thermal

management, and reducing power-supply performance require-

ments. Compare the power consumption of the AD8610 vs. the

OPA627 in Figure 43.
