COMP
The AD8021 allows the user to choose the gain bandwidth
product that best suits the application. With a single capacitor,
the user can compensate the AD8021 for the desired gain with
little trade-off in bandwidth. The AD8021 is a very well behaved
amplifier that settles to 0.01% in 23 ns for a 1 V step. It has a fast
overload recovery of 50 ns.
The AD8021 is stable over temperature with low input offset
voltage drift and input bias current drift, 0.5
µV/°C
and 10 nA/°C,
respectively. The AD8021 is also capable of driving a 75
Ω
line
with
±
3 V video signals.
The AD8021 is not only technically superior, but also priced
considerably less than comparable amps drawing much higher
quiescent current. The AD8021 is a high speed, general-purpose
amplifier, ideal for a wide variety of gain configurations, and can
be used throughout a signal processing chain and in control loops.
The AD8021 is available in both standard 8-lead SOIC and MSOP
packages in the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

The AD8021 is a very high performance, high speed voltage
feedback amplifier that can be used in 16-bit resolution systems.
It is designed to have low voltage and current noise (2.1 nV/√Hz
typ and 2.1 pA/√Hz typ) while operating at the lowest quiescent
supply current (7 mA @
±
5 V) among today’s high speed, low
noise op amps. The AD8021 operates over a wide range of
supply voltages from
±
2.5 V to
±
12 V, as well as from single
5 V supplies, making it ideal for high speed, low power instru-
ments. An output disable pin allows further reduction of the
quiescent supply current to 1.3 mA.

NOTES
1
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-
nent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and 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.

The AD8021 inputs are protected by diodes. Current-limiting resistors are not
used in order to preserve the low noise. If a differential input exceeds
±
0.8 V, the
input current should be limited to
±
10 mA.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION
The maximum power that can be safely dissipated by the AD8021
is limited by the associated rise in junction temperature. The maxi-
mum safe junction temperature for plastic encapsulated devices
is determined by the glass transition temperature of the plastic,
approximately 150∞C. Temporarily exceeding this limit may cause
a shift in parametric performance due to a change in the stresses
exerted on the die by the package. Exceeding a junction tempera-
ture of 175∞C for an extended period can result in device failure.
While the AD8021 is internally short-circuit protected, this may
not be sufficient to guarantee that the maximum junction tem-
perature (150∞C) is not exceeded under all conditions. To ensure
proper operation, it is necessary to observe the maximum power
derating curves.

Pin 8 (DISABLE) is about 2 V or more higher than Pin 1 (LOGIC

1.5 V of Pin 1, the part is disabled. (See the Specification tables for exact disable and
enable voltage levels.) If the disable feature is not going to be used, Pin 8 can be tied

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
AD8021 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
