Typical Applications
AD820ARZ is suitable for 6 applications: Battery-Powered Instrumentation, Portable Medical Devices, Sensor Signal Conditioning, Active Filters, Audio Signal Processing, Industrial Control Systems.
Battery-Powered Instrumentation
The AD820ARZ's low supply current of 700 µA and wide supply range (5 V to 36 V) make it ideal for battery-powered instruments. Its rail-to-rail output maximizes dynamic range, while the FET input ensures minimal loading on high-impedance sensors. In portable multimeters or data loggers, the AD820ARZ can buffer sensor signals with negligible power drain, extending battery life. The low input bias current of 2 pA preserves signal integrity from high-source-impedance transducers, such as pH probes or thermocouples, without additional buffering stages.

Portable Medical Devices
In portable medical devices like glucose monitors or pulse oximeters, the AD820ARZ provides precise signal conditioning with minimal power consumption. Its low offset voltage (100 µV) ensures accurate measurement of small biosignals, and the rail-to-rail output allows full use of the ADC input range. The wide supply range accommodates battery voltage variations, while the FET input prevents loading of high-impedance electrodes. The AD820ARZ's small 8-SOIC package is suitable for compact, wearable designs, and its industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) ensures reliability in clinical environments.
Recommended
Sensor Signal Conditioning
The AD820ARZ excels in sensor signal conditioning due to its ultra-low input bias current (2 pA) and high input impedance, making it ideal for interfacing with high-impedance sensors like photodiodes, piezoelectric sensors, and pH electrodes. Its rail-to-rail output allows direct connection to ADCs without additional level shifting. The 1.9 MHz bandwidth supports moderate-speed sensor signals, while the low offset voltage (100 µV) ensures accurate DC measurements. In industrial applications, the wide supply range (up to 36 V) allows operation from 24 V industrial buses, and the FET input minimizes errors from source resistance.
Recommended
Active Filters
The AD820ARZ is well-suited for active filter designs, such as low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters, due to its 1.9 MHz gain bandwidth and 3 V/µs slew rate. These specifications allow implementation of filters with cutoff frequencies up to several hundred kilohertz. The rail-to-rail output enables maximum signal swing, and the low input bias current minimizes DC errors in high-impedance filter networks. In audio applications, the low distortion and low noise of the AD820ARZ preserve signal fidelity. Its single-supply operation simplifies filter design in battery-powered equipment, and the wide supply range supports both 5 V and 12 V systems.

Audio Signal Processing
In audio applications, the AD820ARZ provides clean signal amplification with low distortion and noise. Its 1.9 MHz bandwidth is sufficient for audio frequencies, and the rail-to-rail output allows maximum headroom in single-supply designs. The FET input ensures high input impedance, making it suitable for direct connection to high-impedance sources like electric guitar pickups or condenser microphones. The low supply current (700 µA) is beneficial for portable audio devices, and the wide supply range allows operation from various battery configurations. The AD820ARZ can be used in headphone amplifiers, preamplifiers, and active crossover networks.
Recommended
Industrial Control Systems
The AD820ARZ is suitable for industrial control systems, such as process controllers and motor drives, due to its wide supply range (up to 36 V) and robust operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). It can interface with sensors and transducers in harsh environments, providing accurate signal conditioning. The rail-to-rail output allows direct connection to ADCs or comparators, and the low input bias current minimizes errors from long sensor leads. In 24 V industrial systems, the AD820ARZ can operate directly from the supply rail without additional regulation. Its low power consumption is advantageous in distributed control nodes.

Design Notes
For optimal performance, decouple the supply pins with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors placed as close to the V+ and V- pins as possible. Additionally, a 10 µF tantalum capacitor on the supply line can help filter low-frequency noise. In single-supply operation, ensure the input common-mode range is not exceeded; the AD820ARZ allows inputs down to the negative rail, but not above V+ - 1.5 V.
To minimize noise pickup, use a ground plane and keep high-impedance input traces short and shielded. Avoid routing input traces near digital or switching signals. For best performance, place the AD820ARZ away from heat sources and ensure adequate copper area for heat dissipation, especially in high-temperature environments.
Do not exceed the absolute maximum supply voltage of 36 V. Also, avoid driving capacitive loads greater than 100 pF without a series resistor, as this may cause instability. The offset null pins (1 and 5) can be used to trim offset voltage, but if not used, leave them unconnected. Ensure the input voltage does not exceed the supply rails to prevent latch-up.
