GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD8000 is an ultrahigh speed, high performance, current feedback amplifier. Using ADI’s proprietary eXtra Fast Complementary Bipolar (XFCB) process, the amplifier can achieve a small signal bandwidth of 1.5 GHz and a slew rate of 4100 V/µs.

The AD8000 has low spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 75 dBc @ 20 MHz and input voltage noise of 1.6 nV/√Hz. The AD8000 can drive over 100 mA of load current with minimal distortion. The amplifier can operate on +5 V to ±6 V. These specifications make the AD8000 ideal for a variety of applications, including high speed instrumentation.
