Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function Description 1 Offset Null Offset voltage adjustment pin (used for trimming the offset voltage of the op-amp) 2 Inverting Input Inverting input of the operational amplifier (negative feedback input) 3 Non-Inverting Input Non-inverting input of the operational amplifier (positive feedback input) 4 V- (Negative Supply) Negative supply voltage pin (typically connected to ground or a negative supply voltage) 5 V+ (Positive Supply) Positive supply voltage pin (typically connected to a positive voltage source) 6 Output Output of the operational amplifier 7 NC (No Connection) No internal connection (this pin is unused) 8 Offset Null Offset voltage adjustment pin (used for trimming the offset voltage of the op-amp) 9 Inverting Input Inverting input of the operational amplifier (negative feedback input) 10 Non-Inverting Input Non-inverting input of the operational amplifier (positive feedback input) 11 V- (Negative Supply) Negative supply voltage pin (typically connected to ground or a negative supply voltage) 12 V+ (Positive Supply) Positive supply voltage pin (typically connected to a positive voltage source) 13 Output Output of the operational amplifier 14 NC (No Connection) No internal connection (this pin is unused) 15 Offset Null Offset voltage adjustment pin (used for trimming the offset voltage of the op-amp) 16 Offset Null Offset voltage adjustment pin (used for trimming the offset voltage of the op-amp)Pin Function and Application Details:
Offset Null (Pins 1, 8, 15, 16): These pins are used to adjust the offset voltage of the op-amp. A potentiometer can be connected between pins 1 and 8 (or 15 and 16), and a connection can be made to V+ or V- for proper offset adjustment. Inverting and Non-Inverting Inputs (Pins 2, 9 and 3, 10): These are the input pins where the external signal is fed into the operational amplifier. The inverting input receives the signal with the opposite phase, while the non-inverting input receives the signal in phase. V- (Pins 4, 11): This pin is the negative supply voltage. It can be connected to the ground or to a negative voltage source depending on the system requirements. V+ (Pins 5, 12): This pin is the positive supply voltage. It typically connects to a positive voltage source to power the operational amplifier. Output (Pins 6, 13): These are the output pins where the amplified signal is obtained.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about AD8656ARZ
