Typical Applications
AD8620ARZ is suitable for 6 applications: Precision Data Acquisition, Audio Preamplifier, Active Filters, Sensor Signal Conditioning, Medical Instrumentation, Test and Measurement.
Precision Data Acquisition
The AD8620ARZ's low offset voltage (100 µV), low drift, and low noise (6 nV/√Hz) make it ideal for precision data acquisition systems. It can buffer high-impedance sensors and drive high-resolution ADCs without introducing significant errors. The wide bandwidth supports fast sampling rates, while the low bias current (1 pA) minimizes leakage in sample-and-hold circuits. In a typical DAQ front-end, the AD8620ARZ is used as a buffer or gain stage, providing accurate signal conditioning for industrial and laboratory instrumentation.
Recommended
Audio Preamplifier
With low noise and wide bandwidth, the AD8620ARZ is well-suited for high-fidelity audio preamplifiers. Its JFET input provides high input impedance, preserving the signal from high-impedance sources like guitar pickups and condenser microphones. The low distortion and high slew rate (25 V/µs) ensure clean reproduction of transient signals. In a phono preamp, the AD8620ARZ can provide RIAA equalization with minimal added noise, making it a popular choice for audiophile-grade equipment.
Recommended
Active Filters
The AD8620ARZ's 25 MHz gain-bandwidth product allows implementation of high-frequency active filters with accurate cutoff frequencies. Its low offset and drift ensure DC accuracy in integrator and low-pass filter circuits. The high output current (30 mA) enables driving capacitive loads without stability issues. In a 4th-order Butterworth low-pass filter for anti-aliasing, the AD8620ARZ provides the necessary gain and phase response while maintaining low noise, making it suitable for communication and instrumentation systems.
Recommended
Sensor Signal Conditioning
The AD8620ARZ's ultra-low bias current (1 pA) is critical for conditioning high-impedance sensors such as photodiodes, pH probes, and piezoelectric sensors. It minimizes offset errors caused by input bias current flowing through source resistance. The low noise and wide bandwidth allow amplification of small signals with high fidelity. In a photodiode amplifier, the AD8620ARZ can be configured as a transimpedance amplifier with a feedback resistor, providing a voltage output proportional to light intensity with minimal noise.
Recommended
Medical Instrumentation
In medical devices like ECG and EEG monitors, the AD8620ARZ provides the precision and low noise required for biopotential signal acquisition. Its low offset voltage and drift ensure accurate baseline restoration, while the high common-mode rejection ratio rejects interference. The wide bandwidth supports diagnostic frequencies up to 1 kHz. The device's low power consumption (3.5 mA per channel) is suitable for battery-powered portable monitors, and its small SOIC-8 package fits compact PCB designs.
Recommended
Test and Measurement
The AD8620ARZ is used in bench instruments like oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and multimeters for signal conditioning. Its wide bandwidth and fast slew rate preserve waveform integrity, while low offset and drift ensure measurement accuracy. The high input impedance minimizes loading on the device under test. In a digital multimeter's AC/DC converter stage, the AD8620ARZ can provide precision rectification and amplification, enabling accurate readings across a wide frequency range.

Key Differentiators
- Ultra-low input bias current of 1 pA (vs AD8512ARZ)
- Wide bandwidth of 25 MHz (vs ADA4610-2ARZ)
- Lower noise than OPA2134 (vs OPA2134)
Design Notes
The AD8620ARZ operates from ±5V to ±13V supplies. Use 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors close to each supply pin (V+ and V-) to decouple high-frequency noise. For best performance, add 10 µF tantalum capacitors in parallel for bulk decoupling. Ensure the supply voltages are within the absolute maximum ratings to avoid damage.
For optimal 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 resistor and capacitor close to the inverting input to minimize stray capacitance. Avoid routing high-speed digital traces near the input pins.
Do not exceed the input common-mode voltage range, which extends to the negative rail but not beyond. The output can swing close to the rails, but avoid driving loads that require more than 30 mA. Ensure the junction temperature stays below 150°C by providing adequate thermal relief on the PCB. For high-impedance sources, use a guard ring around the input pins to reduce leakage currents.
