Analog Devices Intros AD8099 Op Amp

September 28, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI, Wilmington, MA) introduced its new IC that minimizes two fundamental error sources in amplifier design: voltage noise and harmonic distortion. The AD8099 features a patent-pending, advanced circuit architecture that addresses fundamental performance trade-offs inherent in traditional differential input stages. The AD8099 delivers both low-voltage noise (0.95nV/rt Hz) and low distortion (-90dB at 10MHz). In addition, the new device provides a 1,600V/µs slew rate and a 5GHz gain bandwidth product at gain of 10. The AD8099 can slew at rates of 600V/µs, down to a gain of 2.

The AD8099 is suitable for use in applications that require a high degree of accuracy, such as radar collision avoidance systems, medical ultrasound signal processing, and precision instrumentation. The AD8099 performs well with Analog Devices' high-performance, precision analog-to-digital converters, including the PulSAR® family of successive-approximation data converters.

The AD8099 is sampling now and will be in full production in November 2003. The part is rated to work over an extended industrial temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It is available in two packaging options: a tiny 3mm x 3mm LFCSP, which reduces board space requirements and improves thermal characteristics, and the traditional low profile, eight-lead, SOIC. The parts are priced at $1.98 per unit in 1,000-piece quantities.
