The ALD1712 has been developed specifically with the 5V single supply or
±2.5V dual supply user in mind. Several important characteristics of the
device make many applications easy to implement for these supply
voltages. First, the operational amplifier can operate with rail-to-rail input
and output voltages. This feature allows numerous analog serial stages to
be implemented without losing operating voltage margin. Secondly, the
device was designed to accommodate mixed applications where digital
and analog circuits may work off the same 5V power supply. Thirdly, the
output stage can drive up to 400pF capacitive, and 1KΩ resistive loads in
non-invertingunitygainconnection, andupto4000pFatagainof5. These
features, coupled with extremely low input currents, high voltage gain,
useful bandwidth of 1.5MHz, slew rate of 2.1V/µs, low power dissipation,
low offset voltage and temperature drift, make the ALD1712 a truly
versatile, user friendly, operational amplifier.
• Dual power supply ±2.5V to ±6.0V
• Single power supply +5V to +12V
• High voltage gain – typically 85V/mV
@ ±2.5V and 250V/mV @ ±5.0V
• Drive as low as 1KΩ load with 5mA
drive current
• Output short circuit protected
• Unity gain bandwidth of 1.5MHz
• Slew rate of 2.1V/µs
APPLICATIONS
• Voltage amplifier
• Voltage follower/buffer
• Charge integrator

in most applications. The device offers typical offset drift of less than 5µV/
°C which eliminates many trim or temperature compensation circuits. For
precision applications, the 1712 is designed to settle to 0.01% in 8µs. The
unique characteristics at input and output are modeled in an available
macromodel.
