AD8036/AD8037 have large-signal bandwidths and ultralow distortion. The AD8036 achieves –66 dBc at 20 MHz, and has small-signal and large-signal bandwidths of 240 MHz and 195 MHz, respectively. The AD8036/AD8037 are ideal for driving and buffering flash and high resolution ADCs. The input clamp architecture supports the clamp levels as additional inputs to the amplifier. Due to these clamp characteristics, the AD8036 and AD8037 can be used in nontraditional applications such as a full-wave rectifier, a pulse generator, or an amplitude modulator.
The AD8036/AD8037 are voltage‑feedback clamp amplifiers offering superb clamping characteristics, ultralow distortion, and high‑speed operation. They feature a 3 mV typical clamp error, 1.5 ns over‑drive recovery, and bandwidths up to 270 MHz, making them suitable for driving high‑resolution ADCs, RF signal processing, and high‑quality imaging.
These devices are offered in industrial‑temperature plastic DIP, SOIC, and MIL‑grade Cerdip packages. The datasheet provides detailed electrical characteristics, absolute maximum ratings, ordering information, and layout guidelines to ensure optimal high‑speed performance.
| Small‑signal bandwidth (AD8036) | 240 MHz |
|---|---|
| Clamp error (typical) | 3 mV |
| Over‑drive recovery time | 1.5 ns |
| Input voltage noise (1 MHz‑200 MHz) | 4.5 nV/√Hz |
The typical clamp error is about 3 mV.
It recovers in approximately 1.5 ns after a 2× clamp over‑drive.
Both devices are offered in industrial‑temperature plastic DIP, SOIC, and MIL‑grade Cerdip packages.
