The AD826 is a high-speed, low-power dual operational amplifier from Analog Devices. It features high output current drive capability and unlimited capacitive load capability, and has low input offset voltage, making it ideal for power-sensitive applications such as video cameras and portable instrumentation. The AD826 can operate from a single +5V supply, while still achieving 25MHz of bandwidth. Furthermore, the AD826 is fully specified from a single +5V to ±15V power supplies. The AD826 excels as an ADC/DAC buffer or active filter in data acquisition systems and achieves a settling time of 70ns to 0.01%, with a low input offset voltage of 2mV. The AD826 is available in small 8-lead plastic mini-DIP and SO packages.
The AD826 dual operational amplifier offers high speed (50 MHz unity‑gain bandwidth, 350 V/µs slew rate) and low power consumption (7.5 mA per amp). It can drive unlimited capacitive loads with a minimum output current of 50 mA per amplifier, making it suitable for video, ADC/DAC buffering, cable drivers, and active filters.
Available in 8‑lead plastic DIP and SOIC packages, the device operates from a single +5 V supply up to +15 V, or from dual supplies (+2.5 V to +18 V). Its specifications include low input offset voltage (2 mV max) and excellent DC performance, providing a versatile solution for high‑speed analog applications.
