GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8506/AD8508 are dual and quad micropower amplifiers
featuring rail-to-rail input and output swings while operating from
a 1.8 V to 5 V single or from ±0.9 V to ±±.5 V dual power supply.
Remote battery-powered sensors, handheld instrumentation
and consumer equipment, hazard detection (for example, smoke,
fire, and gas), and patient monitors can benefit from the features
of the AD8506/AD8508 amplifiers.
Using a novel circuit technology, these low cost amplifiers offer
zero crossover distortion (excellent PSRR and CMRR perform-
ance) and very low bias current, while operating with a supply
current of less than ±0 μA per amplifier. This amplifier family
offers the lowest noise in its power class.
The AD8506/AD8508 are specified for both the industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +85°C and the extended industrial
temperature range of −40°C to +1±5°C. The AD8506 dual amplifi-
ers are available in an 8-lead MSOP package. The AD8508 quad
amplifiers are available in the 14-lead TSSOP package.
This combination of features makes the AD8506/AD8508
amplifiers ideal choices for battery-powered applications
because they minimize errors due to power supply voltage
variations over the lifetime of the battery and maintain high
CMRR even for a rail-to-rail input op amp.
