GENERAL DESCRIPTION The AD8397 comprises two voltage feedback operational amplifiers capable of driving heavy loads with excellent linearity. The common-emitter, rail-to-rail output stage surpasses the output voltage capability of typical emitter-follower output stages and can swing to within 0.5 V of either rail while driving a 25 Ω load. The low distortion, high output current, and wide output dynamic range make the AD8397 ideal for applications that
require a large signal swing into a heavy load. –3
Fabricated with Analog Devices, Inc., high speed extra fast –6 complementary bipolar high voltage (XFCB-HV) process, the
high bandwidth and fast slew rate of the AD8397 keep distortion to
a minimum. The AD8397 is available in a standard 8-lead SOIC_N –12 package and, for higher power dissipating applications, a thermally
