Product Details
The AD8515 is a rail-to-rail amplifier that can operate from a single-supply voltage as low as 1.8 V.
The AD8515 single amplifier, available in 5-lead SOT-23 and 5-lead SC70 packages, is small enough to be placed next to sensors, reducing external noise pickup.
The AD8515 is a rail-to-rail input and output amplifier with a gain bandwidth of 5 MHz and typical offset voltage of 1 mV from a 1.8 V supply. The low supply current makes these parts ideal for battery-powered applications. The 2.7 V/μs slew rate makes the AD8515 a good match for driving ASIC inputs such as voice codecs.
The AD8515 is specified over the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.

Design Tools
Use the Analog Filter Wizard to design low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass filters with actual op amps in minutes. As you progress through the design process, you can observe the characteristics of your filter design from ideal specifications to real world circuit behavior. Quickly evaluate the tradeoffs in op amp specifications - including gain-bandwidth, noise, and supply current – to determine the best filter design for your requirements.
Use Photodiode Wizard to design a transimpedance amplifier circuit to interface with a photodiode. Select a photodiode from the library included in the tool, or enter custom photodiode specifications. Quickly observe tradeoffs between Bandwidth, Peaking (Q), and ENOB/SNR. Modify circuit parameters, and immediately see results in plots for pulse response, frequency response, and noise gain.
