Selection Guide

Choose AD8618ARZ when you need a quad CMOS op amp with high bandwidth (20 MHz) and low noise (8 nV/√Hz) for applications like active filters, ADC drivers, and audio processing. If you can tolerate lower bandwidth and higher noise, AD8608ARZ is a cost-effective drop-in alternative. For dual-channel designs, consider AD8606ARZ. If you require a TSSOP package, AD8618ARUZ offers the same performance. For higher supply voltages (±18V), the OPA4227 from TI is an option, but it is not pin-compatible. Always verify pinout and package compatibility before substitution.

  • Lower noise than AD8608ARZ (vs AD8608ARZ)
  • Lower offset voltage than OPA4227 (vs OPA4227PA)

Design Notes

The AD8618ARZ operates from a single 2.7V to 5V supply. Use a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor close to each supply pin (V+ and V-) to decouple high-frequency noise. For optimal performance, a 10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel is recommended for low-frequency stability. Ensure the supply voltage does not exceed 5V to avoid damage.

For best noise performance, keep the input traces short and shielded from digital signals. Use a ground plane under the op amp to reduce parasitic capacitance and noise pickup. Place the feedback resistors close to the inverting input to minimize stray capacitance, which can cause instability. The 14-SOIC package has a 1.27 mm pitch, allowing standard PCB routing.

The rail-to-rail output stage can drive capacitive loads, but large capacitances ( >100 pF) may cause oscillation. Add a series resistor (e.g., 50Ω) at the output to isolate capacitive loads. Also, avoid exceeding the input common-mode range, even though it extends beyond the rails; doing so may cause phase reversal. Always refer to the datasheet's absolute maximum ratings.
