Analog Devices Presents AD8027 Family of Amplifiers

January 27, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

Analog Devices Inc. (Wilmington, MA) announced the first device in a new family of high-performance amplifiers with rail-to-rail inputs and outputs that work on supply voltages down to 2.7V, the AD8027. The AD8027 amplifier is designed to work in a variety of applications where speed, performance and dynamic range are critical, especially those requiring low supply voltages and low power consumption. Applications include, but are not limited to, filtering, analog-to-digital converter driving, level shifting, buffering and battery-powered instrumentation.

The AD8027 features a high bandwidth of 180MHz, a 100V/µs slew rate, low distortion over the entire input range, a unique "selectable crossover" feature that allows that threshold to be selected, a wide supply voltage range of 2.7V to 12V, a low quiescent current of 6mA maximum, and a power down feature.

The AD8027 amplifier is available now in SOT-23 and SOIC packages and is rated to work over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The AD8027 is priced at $1.19 per unit in 1,000-piece quantities. A dual version, the AD8028, will be available in March 2003.
