Other members of the AD962X amplifier family are the
AD9621 (G = +1), AD9622 (G = +2), and the AD9624
(G = +6). A separate data sheet is available from Analog
Devices for each model. Each generic device has been designed
for a different minimum stable gain setting, allowing users flex-
ibility in optimizing system performance. Dynamic performance
specifications such as slew rate, settling time, and distortion vary
from model to model. T he table below summarizes key perfor-
mance attributes for the AD962X family and can be used as a
selection guide.
GENERAL D ESCRIP TIO N
T he AD9623 is one of a family of very high speed and wide
bandwidth amplifiers utilizing a voltage feedback architecture.
T hese amplifiers define a new level of performance for voltage
feedback amplifiers, especially in the categories of large signal
bandwidth, slew rate, settling, low distortion, and low noise.
Proprietary design architectures have resulted in an amplifier
family that combines the most attractive attributes of both cur-
rent feedback and voltage feedback amplifiers. T he AD9623
exhibits extraordinarily accurate and fast pulse response charac-
teristics (8 ns settling to 0.1%) as well as extremely wide small
and large signal bandwidth previously found only in current
feedback amplifiers. When combined with balanced high imped-
ance inputs and low input noise current more common to volt-
age feedback architectures, the AD9623 offers performance not
previously available in a monolithic operational amplifier.
T he AD9623 is offered in industrial and military temperature
ranges. Industrial versions are available in plastic DIP, SOIC,
and cerdip; MIL versions are packaged in cerdips.
