GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD823A is a dual precision, 17 MHz, JFET input op amp manufactured in the extra fast complementary bipolar (XFCB) process. The AD823A can operate from a single supply of 3 V to 36 V or from dual supplies of ±1.5 V to ±18 V. It has true single-supply capability with an input voltage range extending below ground in single-supply mode. Output voltage swing extends to within 20 mV of each rail for IOUT ≤ 100 μA, providing outstanding output dynamic range. It also has a linear output current of 40 mA, 0.5 V from the supply rails.
An offset voltage of 700 μV maximum, an offset voltage drift of 1 μV/°C, and typical input bias currents of 0.3 pA provide dc precision with source impedances up to 1 GΩ. The AD823A provides 17 MHz, ?3 dB bandwidth, and a 30 V/μs slew rate with a low supply current of only 2.6 mA per amplifier. It also provides low input voltage noise of 14 nV/√Hz and ?108 dB SFDR at 20 kHz. The AD823A has low input capacitances (0.6 pF differ-ential and 1.3 pF common mode) and drives more than 500 pF of direct capacitive load as a follower. This lets the amplifier handle a wide range of load conditions.

This combination of ac and dc performance, plus the outstanding load drive capability, results in an exceptionally versatile ampli-fier for applications such as ADC drivers, high speed active filters, and other low voltage, high dynamic range systems.
The AD823A is available over the industrial temperature range of ?40°C to +85°C and is offered in an 8-lead SOIC package and an 8-lead MSOP package.

The dominant sources of output noise in the wideband
photodiode preamp design are the input voltage noise of the amplifier, VNOISE and the resistor noise due to RF. The gray curve in Figure 43 shows the noise gain over frequencies for the
photodiode preamp. The noise bandwidth is at the frequency fN, and it can be calculated by

TRANSIMPEDANCE GAIN (dB)Figure 44 shows the AD823A configured as a transimpedance photodiode amplifier. The amplifier is used in conjunction with a photodiode detector with input capacitance of 5 pF. Figure 45 shows the transimpedance response of the AD823A when IPHOTO is 1 μA p-p. The amplifier has a bandwidth of 2.2 MHz when it is maximized for a 45° phase margin with CF = 1.2 pF. Note that with the PCB parasitics added to CF, the peaking is only 0.5 dB and the bandwidth is slightly reduced. Increasing CF to 2.7 pF completely eliminates the peaking. However, it reduces the bandwidth to 1.2 MHz.
Table 8 shows the noise sources and total output noise for the photodiode preamp, where the preamplifier is configured to have a 45° phase margin for maximal bandwidth and fz = fx = fn in this case.

ACTIVE FILTER
The AD823A is an ideal candidate for an active filter because of its low input bias current and its low input capacitance. Low input bias current reduces dc error in the signal path while low input capacitance improves the accuracy of the active filter. As a general rule of thumb, the bandwidth of the amplifier should be at least 10 times bigger than the cutoff frequency of the filter implemented. Therefore, the AD823A is capable of implementing active filters of up to 1.7 MHz.
C1200pF+VSFigure 47 shows the two-pole Butterworth active filter’s response. Note that it has a maximally flat pass band, a ?3 dB bandwidth of 1 MHz, and a 12 dB/octave roll-off in the stop band. The cutoff frequency (fc) and the Q factor of the Butterworth filter can be calculated by:

Therefore, one can easily adjust the cutoff frequency by appropriately factoring the resistor and capacitor values. For example, a 100 kHz filter can be implemented by increasing the values of R1 and R2 by 10 times. Note that the Q factor remains the same in this case.

Figure 46 shows an example of a second-order Butterworth filter, which is implemented by the Sallen-Key topology. This structure can be duplicated to produce higher-order filters.

MAXIMIZING PERFORMANCE THROUGH PROPER LAYOUT
To achieve the maximum performance of the extremely high input impedance and low offset voltage of the AD823A, care should be taken in the circuit board layout. The PCB surface must remain clean and free of moisture to avoid leakage currents between adjacent traces. Surface coating of the circuit board reduces surface moisture and provides a humidity barrier, reducing parasitic resistance on the board. The use of guard rings around the amplifier inputs further reduces leakage currents. Figure 48 shows how the guard rings should be configured, and Figure 49 shows the top view of how a surface-mount layout can be arranged. The guard ring does not need to be a specific width, but it should form a continuous loop around both inputs. By setting the guard ring voltage equal to the voltage at the non-inverting input, parasitic capacitance is minimized as well. For further reduction of leakage currents, components can be mounted to the PCB using Teflon? standoff insulators.
