AD8664ARZ-REEL

The AD8664ARZ-REEL is a linear amplifier featured in the instrumentation, operational amplifier (OP amp), and buffer amplifier range of devices. As an integrated circuit (IC), the AD8664ARZ-REEL amplifies electrical signals using linear response over a specific range. Its primary application is amplifying weak analog signals, such as those obtained from photosensitive devices, to drive multiple output devices.

The AD8664ARZ-REEL consists of two amplifiers. These can each be set to single-ended or differential mode for maximum flexibility to suit various applications. It contains a low-power y-type input amplifier, which is ideal for use in a wide range of applications requiring wide dynamic range and low distortion performance. The second amplifier boosts the linearity of the first amplifier, in turn providing superior linearity throughout the entire signal path.

In terms of its performance characteristics, the AD8664ARZ-REEL offers top-notch performance with impressive figures. It has a low input offset voltage of 6 µV, as well as a maximum power supply current of 1.2 mA. It features a high common-mode rejection of 125 dB and provides a gain bandwidth of 8 MHz. Additionally, the Op Amp features rail-to-rail output response and a maximum operating temperature of +125°C.

As for its working principle, the AD8664ARZ-REEL is essentially an amplifier that takes a weak signal and amplifies it to a more usable level. It does this by receiving the signal from an input source, such as a photosensitive device. The signal goes through the y-type input amplifier, which is essentially a transistor that can be set to either single or differential set ups. The signal then passes through the second amplifier, which boosts the linearity of the signal before finally outputting it.

The output of the AD8664ARZ-REEL is capable of driving up to three separate output devices. This makes it particularly useful in applications where multiple output devices need to be driven at the same time, such as in lighting applications or any other application where multiple output devices need to be powered from the same source. This level of flexibility means that the AD8664ARZ-REEL can be used in numerous applications across a variety of fields.

In conclusion, the AD8664ARZ-REEL is a linear amplifier that can be used to amplify weak signals from sensors or other analog sources. It has two amplifiers, one of which boosts the linearity of the other, allowing for superior linearity throughout the entire signal path. It has a wide dynamic range and low distortion performance, as well as a rail-to-rail output response. This makes it suitable for driving multiple output devices, making it great for use in applications that require multiple output devices to be powered simultaneously.
