Product Details
The AD8641/AD8642/AD8643 are low power, precision JFET input amplifiers featuring extremely low input bias current and rail-to-rail output. The ability to swing nearly rail-to-rail at the input and rail-to-rail at the output enables designers to buffer CMOS DACs, ASICs, and other wide output swing devices in single-supply systems. The outputs remain stable with capacitive loads of more than 500 pF.
The AD8641/AD8642/AD8643 are suitable for applications utilizing multichannel boards that require low power to manage heat. Other applications include photodiodes, ATE reference level drivers, battery management, and industrial controls.
The AD8641/AD8642/AD8643 are fully specified over the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. The AD8641 is available in 5-lead SC70 and 8-lead SOIC lead-free packages. The AD8642 is available in 8-lead MSOP and 8-lead SOIC lead-free packages. The AD8643 is available in 14-lead SOIC and 16-lead, 3 mm × 3 mm, LFCSP lead-free packages.

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.
