GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADA4870 is a unity gain stable, high speed current
feedback amplifier capable of delivering 1 A of output current
and 2500 V/μs slew rate from a 40 V supply. Manufactured
using the Analog Devices, Inc., proprietary high voltage extra
fast complementary bipolar (XFCB) process, the innovative
architecture of the ADA4870 enables high output power, high
speed signal processing solutions in applications that require
driving a low impedance load.

The ADA4870 is available in a power SOIC package (PSOP_3),
featuring an exposed thermal slug that provides high thermal
conductivity, enabling efficient heat transfer for improved perfor-
mance and reliability in demanding applications. The ADA4870
operates over the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
