GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD797 is a very low noise, low distortion operational amplifier
ideal for use as a preamplifier. The low noise of 0.9 nV/√Hz and
low total harmonic distortion of −120 dB in audio bandwidths
give the AD797 the wide dynamic range necessary for preamps
in microphones and mixing consoles.
Furthermore, the AD797 has an excellent slew rate of 20 V/μs
and a 110 MHz gain bandwidth, which makes it highly suitable
for low frequency ultrasound applications.
The AD797 is also useful in infrared (IR) and sonar imaging
applications, where the widest dynamic range is necessary. The
low distortion and 16-bit settling time of the AD797 make it
ideal for buffering the inputs to Σ-Δ ADCs or the outputs of
high resolution DACs, especially when the device is used in
critical applications such as seismic detection or in spectrum
analyzers. Key features such as a 50 mA output current drive
and the specified power supply voltage range of ±5 V to ±15 V
make the AD797 an excellent general-purpose amplifier.
