High-Speed, Low-Power
Dual Operational Amplifier
The AD826 features high output current drive capability of
50 mA min per amp, and is able to drive unlimited capacitive
loads. With a low power supply current of 15 mA max for both
Amplifiers, the AD826 is a true general purpose operational
amplifier.
The AD826 is ideal for power sensitive applications such as video
cameras and portable instrumentation. The AD826 can operate
from a single +5 V supply, while still achieving 25 MHz of band
width. Furthermore the AD826 is fully specified from a single
+5 V to ±15 V power supplies.
The AD826 excels as an ADC/DAC buffer or active filter in
data acquisition systems and achieves a settling time of 70 ns
to 0.01%, with a low input offset voltage of 2 mV max. The
AD826 is available in small 8-lead plastic mini-DIP and SO
packages.
Radio frequency (RF) power Amplifiers are used in everyday life for many applica-
tions including cellular phones, magnetic resonance imaging, semiconductor wafer
processing for chip manufacturing, etc. Therefore, the design and performance of
RF Amplifiers carry great importance for the proper functionality of these devices.
Furthermore, several industrial and military applications require low-profile yet
high-powered and efficient power Amplifiers.

There have been many advances in communication circuits since the publication of the first edition of this book.Yet most of communication circuit fundamentals remain intact.Amplifier,oscillator , tuned circuits,transformers,mixers and power Amplifiers still among fundamental building blocks of communication circuits.
Since the advent of optical communications, a great technological effort has
been devoted to the exploitation of the huge bandwidth of optical fibers. Start-
ing from a few Mb/s single channel systems, a fast and constant technological
development has led to the actual 10 Gb/s per channel dense wavelength di-
vision multiplexing (DWDM) systems, with dozens of channels on a single
fiber. Transmitters and receivers are now ready for 40 Gb/s, whereas hundreds
of channels can be simultaneously amplified by optical Amplifiers.

Data Sheet AD8605/AD8606/AD8608The AD8605, AD8606, and AD86081 are single, dual, and quad rail-to-rail input and output, single-supply Amplifiers. They feature very low offset voltage, low input voltage and current noise, and wide signal bandwidth. They use the Analog Devices, Inc. patented DigiTrim? trimming technique, which achieves
