This family of amplifiers has ultralow offset, drift, and bias
current. The AD8551, AD8552, and AD8554 are single, dual,
and quad amplifiers featuring rail-to-rail input and output swings.
All are guaranteed to operate from 2.7 V to 5 V with a single supply.

The AD855x family provides the benefits previously found only
in expensive auto-zeroing or chopper-stabilized amplifiers.
Using Analog Devices, Inc. topology, these new zero-drift
amplifiers combine low cost with high accuracy. No external
capacitors are required.

With an offset voltage of only 1 μV and drift of 0.005 μV/°C, the
AD855x are perfectly suited for applications in which error
sources cannot be tolerated. Temperature, position and pressure
sensors, medical equipment, and strain gage amplifiers benefit
greatly from nearly zero drift over their operating temperature
range. The rail-to-rail input and output swings provided by the
AD855x family make both high-side and low-side sensing easy.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The AD855x family of amplifiers are high precision, rail-to-rail
operational amplifiers that can be run from a single-supply
voltage. Their typical offset voltage of less than 1 μV allows
these amplifiers to be easily configured for high gains without
risk of excessive output voltage errors. The extremely small
temperature drift of 5 nV/°C ensures a minimum of offset
voltage error over its entire temperature range of −40°C to
+125°C, making the AD855x amplifiers ideal for a variety of
sensitive measurement applications in harsh operating
environments, such as underhood and braking/suspension
systems in automobiles.
BASIC AUTO-ZERO AMPLIFIER THEORY
Autocorrection amplifiers are not a new technology. Various IC
implementations have been available for more than 15 years with
some improvements made over time. The AD855x design offers
a number of significant performance improvements over previous
versions while attaining a very substantial reduction in device
cost. This section offers a simplified explanation of how the
AD855x is able to offer extremely low offset voltages and high
open-loop gains.
As noted in the Amplifier Architecture section, each AD855x
op amp contains two internal amplifiers. One is used as the
primary amplifier, the other as an autocorrection, or nulling,
amplifier. Each amplifier has an associated input offset voltage
that can be modeled as a dc voltage source in series with the
noninverting input. In Figure 50 and Figure 51 these are labeled
as VOSX, where x denotes the amplifier associated with the offset:
A for the nulling amplifier and B for the primary amplifier. The
open-loop gain for the +IN and −IN inputs of each amplifier is
given as AX. Both amplifiers also have a third voltage input with
an associated open-loop gain of BX.
The AD855x family are CMOS amplifiers and achieve their
high degree of precision through auto-zero stabilization. This
autocorrection topology allows the AD855x to maintain its low
offset voltage over a wide temperature range and over its
operating lifetime.
AMPLIFIER ARCHITECTURE
Each AD855x op amp consists of two amplifiers, a main ampli-
fier and a secondary amplifier, used to correct the offset voltage
of the main amplifier. Both consist of a rail-to-rail input stage,
allowing the input common-mode voltage range to reach both
supply rails. The input stage consists of an NMOS differential
pair operating concurrently with a parallel PMOS differential
pair. The outputs from the differential input stages are combined
in another gain stage whose output is used to drive a rail-to-rail
output stage.
There are two modes of operation determined by the action of
two sets of switches in the amplifier: an auto-zero phase and an
amplification phase.
Auto-Zero Phase
In this phase, all φA switches are closed and all φB switches are
opened. Here, the nulling amplifier is taken out of the gain loop
by shorting its two inputs together. Of course, there is a degree
of offset voltage, shown as VOSA, inherent in the nulling amplifier
which maintains a potential difference between the +IN and
−IN inputs. The nulling amplifier feedback loop is closed through
φB2 and VOSA appears at the output of the nulling amp and on
The wide voltage swing of the amplifier is achieved by using two
output transistors in a common-source configuration. The
output voltage range is limited by the drain-to-source resistance
of these transistors. As the amplifier is required to source or
sink more output current, the rDS of these transistors increases,
raising the voltage drop across these transistors. Simply put, the
output voltage does not swing as close to the rail under heavy
output current conditions as it does with light output current.
This is a characteristic of all rail-to-rail output amplifiers.
Figure 12 and Figure 13 show how close the output voltage can
get to the rails with a given output current. The output of the
AD855x is short-circuit protected to approximately 50 mA of
current.

which can be expressed as

This demonstrates that the offset voltage of the nulling amplifier
times a gain factor appears at the output of the nulling amplifier
and, thus, on the CM1 capacitor.
The AD855x amplifiers have exceptional gain, yielding greater
than 120 dB of open-loop gain with a load of 2 kΩ. Because the
output transistors are configured in a common-source
configuration, the gain of the output stage, and thus the open-
loop gain of the amplifier, is dependent on the load resistance.
Open-loop gain decreases with smaller load resistances. This is
another characteristic of rail-to-rail output amplifiers.

From these equations, the auto-zeroing action becomes evident.
Note the VOS term is reduced by a 1 + BA factor. This shows how
the nulling amplifier has greatly reduced its own offset voltage
error even before correcting the primary amplifier. This results
in the primary amplifier output voltage becoming the voltage at
the output of the AD855x amplifier. It is equal to

When the φB switches close and the φA switches open for the
amplification phase, this offset voltage remains on CM1 and,
essentially, corrects any error from the nulling amplifier. The
voltage across CM1 is designated as VNA. Furthermore, VIN is
designated as the potential difference between the two inputs to
the primary amplifier, or VIN = (VIN+ − VIN−). Thus, the nulling

Because φA is now open and there is no place for CM1 to
discharge, the voltage (VNA), at the present time (t), is equal to
the voltage at the output of the nulling amp (VOA) at the time

For the sake of simplification, assume that the autocorrection
frequency is much faster than any potential change in VOSA or
VOSB. This is a valid assumption because changes in offset
voltage are a function of temperature variation or long-term
wear time, both of which are much slower than the auto-zero
clock frequency of the AD855x. This effectively renders VOS
time invariant; therefore, Equation 5 can be rearranged and
rewritten as
VOS,EFF

The offset voltages of both the primary and nulling amplifiers
are reduced by the Gain Factor BA. This takes a typical input
offset voltage from several millivolts down to an effective input
offset voltage of submicrovolts. This autocorrection scheme is
the outstanding feature of the AD855x series that continues to

earn the reputation of being among the most precise amplifiers
available on the market.
Other potential sources of offset error are thermoelectric
voltages on the circuit board. This voltage, also called Seebeck
voltage, occurs at the junction of two dissimilar metals and is
proportional to the temperature of the junction. The most
common metallic junctions on a circuit board are solder-to-
board trace and solder-to-component lead. Figure 54 shows a
cross-section of the thermal voltage error sources. If the
temperature of the PC board at one end of the component (TA1)
is different from the temperature at the other end (TA2), the
resulting Seebeck voltages are not equal, resulting in a thermal
voltage error.
HIGH GAIN, CMRR, PSRR
Common-mode and power supply rejection are indications
of the amount of offset voltage an amplifier has as a result of a
change in its input common-mode or power supply voltages. As
shown in the previous section, the autocorrection architecture
of the AD855x allows it to quite effectively minimize offset volt-
ages. The technique also corrects for offset errors caused by
common-mode voltage swings and power supply variations.
This results in superb CMRR and PSRR figures in excess of
130 dB. Because the autocorrection occurs continuously, these
figures can be maintained across the entire temperature range
of the device, from −40°C to +125°C.
This thermocouple error can be reduced by using dummy
components to match the thermoelectric error source. Placing
the dummy component as close as possible to its partner ensures
both Seebeck voltages are equal, thus canceling the thermo-
couple error. Maintaining a constant ambient temperature on
the circuit board further reduces this error. The use of a ground
plane helps distribute heat throughout the board and reduces
EMI noise pickup.
MAXIMIZING PERFORMANCE THROUGH
PROPER LAYOUT
To achieve the maximum performance of the extremely high
input impedance and low offset voltage of the AD855x, care is
needed in laying out the circuit board. The PC board surface
must remain clean and free of moisture to avoid leakage cur-
rents 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 cur-
rents. Figure 52 shows proper guard ring configuration, and
Figure 53 shows the top view of a surface-mount layout. 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 noninverting
input, parasitic capacitance is minimized as well. For further
reduction of leakage currents, components can be mounted to
the PC board using Teflon standoff insulators.

1/f NOISE CHARACTERISTICS
AD8552
Another advantage of auto-zero amplifiers is their ability to
cancel flicker noise. Flicker noise, also known as 1/f noise, is
noise inherent in the physics of semiconductor devices, and it
increases 3 dB for every octave decrease in frequency. The 1/f
corner frequency of an amplifier is the frequency at which the
flicker noise is equal to the broadband noise of the amplifier.
At lower frequencies, flicker noise dominates, causing higher
degrees of error for sub-Hertz frequencies or dc precision
applications.

Because the AD855x amplifiers are self-correcting op amps, they
do not have increasing flicker noise at lower frequencies. In
essence, low frequency noise is treated as a slowly varying offset
error and is greatly reduced as a result of autocorrection. The
correction becomes more effective as the noise frequency
approaches dc, offsetting the tendency of the noise to increase
exponentially as frequency decreases. This allows the AD855x
to have lower noise near dc than standard low noise amplifiers
that are susceptible to 1/f noise.

INTERMODULATION DISTORTION
The AD855x can be used as a conventional op amp for gain/
bandwidth combinations up to 1.5 MHz. The auto-zero correction
frequency of the device is fixed at 4 kHz. Although a trace
amount of this frequency feeds through to the output, the
amplifier can be used at much higher frequencies. Figure 56
shows the spectral output of the AD8552 with the amplifier
configured for unity gain and the input grounded.

Figure 57. Spectral Analysis of AD855x Output with +60 dB Gain
When an input signal is applied, the output contains some
degree of intermodulation distortion (IMD). This is another
characteristic feature of all autocorrection amplifiers. IMD
appears as sum and difference frequencies between the input
signal and the 4 kHz clock frequency (and its harmonics) and is
at a level similar to, or less than, the clock feedthrough at the
output. The IMD is also proportional to the closed-loop gain of
the amplifier. Figure 58 shows the spectral output of an AD8552
configured as a high gain stage (+60 dB) with a 1 mV input
signal applied. The relative levels of all IMD products and
harmonic distortion add up to produce an output error of
−60 dB relative to the input signal. At unity gain, these add
up to only −120 dB relative to the input signal.
The 4 kHz auto-zero clock frequency appears at the output with
less than 2 μV of amplitude. Harmonics are also present, but at
reduced levels from the fundamental auto-zero clock frequency.
The amplitude of the clock frequency feedthrough is proportional
to the closed-loop gain of the amplifier. Like other autocorrection
amplifiers, at higher gains there is more clock frequency
feedthrough. Figure 57 shows the spectral output with the
amplifier configured for a gain of 60 dB.

For most low frequency applications, the small amount of auto-
zero clock frequency feedthrough does not affect the precision
of the measurement system. If it is desired, the clock frequency
feedthrough can be reduced through the use of a feedback
capacitor around the amplifier. However, this reduces the
bandwidth of the amplifier. Figure 59 and Figure 60 show a
configuration for reducing the clock feedthrough and the
corresponding spectral analysis at the output. The −3 dB
bandwidth of this configuration is 480 Hz.

Because the input current noise of the AD855x is very small,
it does not become a dominant term unless RS is greater than

OUTPUT OVERDRIVE RECOVERY
The AD855x amplifiers have an excellent overdrive recovery of
only 200 μs from either supply rail. This characteristic is par-
ticularly difficult for autocorrection amplifiers because the
nulling amplifier requires a nontrivial amount of time to error
correct the main amplifier back to a valid output. Figure 29 and
Figure 30 show the positive and negative overdrive recovery
times for the AD855x.

The output overdrive recovery for an autocorrection amplifier is
defined as the time it takes for the output to correct to its final
voltage from an overload state. It is measured by placing the
amplifier in a high gain configuration with an input signal that
forces the output voltage to the supply rail. The input voltage is
then stepped down to the linear region of the amplifier, usually
to halfway between the supplies. The time from the input signal
stepdown to the output settling to within 100 μV of its final
value is the overdrive recovery time.

BROADBAND AND EXTERNAL RESISTOR NOISE
CONSIDERATIONS
The total broadband noise output from any amplifier is primarily
a function of three types of noise: input voltage noise from the
amplifier, input current noise from the amplifier, and Johnson
noise from the external resistors used around the amplifier.
Input voltage noise, or en, is strictly a function of the amplifier
used. The Johnson noise from a resistor is a function of the re-
sistance and the temperature. Input current noise, or in, creates
an equivalent voltage noise proportional to the resistors used
around the amplifier. These noise sources are not correlated
with each other and their combined noise sums in a root-
squared-sum fashion. The full equation is given as
1
INPUT OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
Although the AD855x is a rail-to-rail input amplifier, exercise
care to ensure that the potential difference between the inputs
does not exceed 5 V. Under normal operating conditions, the
amplifier corrects its output to ensure the two inputs are at the
same voltage. However, if the device is configured as a comparator,
or is under some unusual operating condition, the input voltages
may be forced to different potentials. This can cause excessive
current to flow through internal diodes in the AD855x used to
protect the input stage against overvoltage.

(15)
Where:
If either input exceeds either supply rail by more than 0.3 V,
large amounts of current begin to flow through the ESD pro-
tection diodes in the amplifier. These diodes connect between
the inputs and each supply rail to protect the input transistors
against an electrostatic discharge event and are normally
reverse-biased. However, if the input voltage exceeds the supply
voltage, these ESD diodes become forward-biased. Without
current limiting, excessive amounts of current can flow through
these diodes, causing permanent damage to the device. If inputs
are subjected to overvoltage, appropriate series resistors should
be inserted to limit the diode current to less than 2 mA maximum.
en = the input voltage noise density of the amplifier.
in = the input current noise of the amplifier.
RS = source resistance connected to the noninverting terminal.
k = Boltzmann’s constant (1.38 × 10−23 J/K).
T = ambient temperature in Kelvin (K = 273.15 + °C).
The input voltage noise density (en) of the AD855x is 42 nV/√Hz,
and the input noise, in, is 2 fA/√Hz. The en, TOTAL is dominated by
the input voltage noise, provided the source resistance is less
than 106 kΩ. With source resistance greater than 106 kΩ, the
overall noise of the system is dominated by the Johnson noise of
the resistor itself.

AD8551/AD8552/AD8554
The optimum value for the resistor and capacitor is a function
of the load capacitance and is best determined empirically because
actual CLOAD (CL) includes stray capacitances and may differ
substantially from the nominal capacitive load. Table 5 shows
some snubber network values that can be used as starting points.
OUTPUT PHASE REVERSAL
Output phase reversal occurs in some amplifiers when the input
common-mode voltage range is exceeded. As common-mode
voltage moves outside of the common-mode range, the outputs
of these amplifiers suddenly jump in the opposite direction to
the supply rail. This is the result of the differential input pair
shutting down and causing a radical shifting of internal
voltages, resulting in the erratic output behavior.

The AD855x amplifiers have been carefully designed to prevent
any output phase reversal, provided both inputs are maintained
within the supply voltages. If there is the potential of one or
both inputs exceeding either supply voltage, place a resistor in
series with the input to limit the current to less than 2 mA to
ensure the output does not reverse its phase.
POWER-UP BEHAVIOR
At power-up, the AD855x settles to a valid output within 5 μs.
Figure 63 shows an oscilloscope photo of the output of the
amplifier with the power supply voltage, and Figure 64 shows
the test circuit. With the amplifier configured for unity gain, the
device takes approximately 5 μs to settle to its final output
voltage. This turn-on response time is much faster than most
other autocorrection amplifiers, which can take hundreds of
microseconds or longer for their output to settle.
CAPACITIVE LOAD DRIVE
The AD855x family has excellent capacitive load driving
capabilities and can safely drive up to 10 nF from a single 5 V
supply. Although the device is stable, capacitive loading limits
the bandwidth of the amplifier. Capacitive loads also increase
the amount of overshoot and ringing at the output. An R-C
snubber network, shown in Figure 61, can be used to
compensate the amplifier against capacitive load ringing and
overshoot.

Although the snubber does not recover the loss of amplifier

a minimum of overshoot and ringing. Figure 62 shows the

excellent choice of op amp for discrete single-supply instrumen-
tation amplifiers. The common-mode rejection ratio of the

also a function of the external resistor tolerances. The gain of

Consequently, using 1% tolerance resistors results in a worst-
case system CMRR of 0.02, or 34 dB. Therefore, either high
precision resistors or an additional trimming resistor, as shown
in Figure 67, should be used to achieve high common-mode
rejection. The value of this trimming resistor should be equal
to the value of R multiplied by its tolerance. For example, using
10 kΩ resistors with 1% tolerance requires a series trimming
resistor equal to 100 Ω.

Figure 68 shows a K-type thermocouple amplifier configuration
with cold junction compensation. Even from a 5 V supply, the
AD8551 can provide enough accuracy to achieve a resolution of
better than 0.02°C from 0°C to 500°C. D1 is used as a tempera-
ture measuring device to correct the cold junction error from
the thermocouple and should be placed as close as possible to
the two terminating junctions. With the thermocouple measuring
tip immersed in a 0°C ice bath, R6 should be adjusted until the
output is at 0 V.
Using the components shown in Figure 69, the monitor output
transfer function is 2.5 V/A.
Figure 70 shows the low-side monitor equivalent. In this circuit,
the input common-mode voltage to the AD8552 is at or near
ground. Again, a 0.1 Ω resistor provides a voltage drop propor-

to 1000°C.

Because of its low input bias current and superb offset voltage at
single supply voltages, the AD855x is an excellent amplifier for
precision current monitoring. Its rail-to-rail input allows the
amplifier to be used as either a high-side or low-side current
monitor. Using both amplifiers in the AD8552 provides a simple
method to monitor both current supply and return paths for

Figure 69 shows a high-side current monitor configuration. In
this configuration, the input common-mode voltage of the
amplifier is at or near the positive supply voltage. The rail-to-
rail input of the amplifier provides a precise measurement even
with the input common-mode voltage at the supply voltage. The
CMOS input structure does not draw any input bias current,
ensuring a minimum of measurement error.

PRECISION VOLTAGE COMPARATOR
The AD855x can be operated open-loop and used as a precision
comparator. The AD855x has less than 50 μV of offset voltage
when run in this configuration. The slight increase of offset
voltage stems from the fact that the autocorrection architecture
operates with lowest offset in a closed-loop configuration, that
is, one with negative feedback. With 50 mV of overdrive, the
device has a propagation delay of 15 μs on the rising edge and
8 μs on the falling edge. Ensure the maximum differential
voltage of the device is not exceeded. For more information,
refer to the Input Overvoltage Protection section.
The 0.1 Ω resistor creates a voltage drop to the noninverting
input of the AD855x. The output of the amplifier is corrected
until this voltage appears at the inverting input. This creates a
current through R1, which in turn flows through R2. The
monitor output is given by
