Pinout Function for the AD8676ARZ-REEL7 (8-Pin SOIC Package)
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function 1 Offset Null This pin is used to nullify the offset voltage of the op-amp by connecting an external potentiometer. 2 Inverting Input (−) The inverting input for the operational amplifier. The voltage at this pin is inverted relative to the non-inverting input. 3 Non-Inverting Input (+) The non-inverting input for the operational amplifier. The voltage at this pin is not inverted. 4 V− (Negative Supply) The negative power supply for the op-amp. Typically grounded or connected to a negative voltage. 5 Output The output of the operational amplifier. The voltage here is a result of the difference between the non-inverting and inverting inputs, amplified by the op-amp’s gain. 6 NC (No Connect) This pin is not internally connected and is typically left unconnected in most applications. 7 V+ (Positive Supply) The positive power supply for the op-amp. This is usually connected to a positive voltage source. 8 Offset Null This pin is used similarly to Pin 1, allowing for adjustment of the offset voltage of the op-amp.Package Information
The AD8676ARZ-REEL7 is housed in an 8-lead SOIC package, which means the component has 8 pins arranged in a narrow 5.3mm wide body. The ARZ suffix indicates that this is the "Reel" version of the 8-lead SOIC package, typically used for automated PCB assembly.
Function of Pins (Detailed Description)
Pin 1 and Pin 8: Offset Null Pins The offset null pins allow for the manual nulling of the input offset voltage of the operational amplifier. A potentiometer connected between pins 1 and 8 with its wiper to the ground will allow adjustment to minimize the output offset.
Pin 2: Inverting Input (−) The inverting input is where the input signal is applied in a typical inverting amplifier configuration. The voltage at this pin will be inverted relative to the voltage applied to the non-inverting input.
Pin 3: Non-Inverting Input (+) This is the positive input of the operational amplifier. The voltage applied here will not be inverted, and the output will increase or decrease in proportion to the difference between the inverting and non-inverting inputs.
Pin 4: Negative Supply (V−) This pin is connected to the negative power supply, often grounded in single-supply configurations or connected to a negative supply voltage in dual-supply setups.
Pin 5: Output The output pin provides the amplified signal. The voltage at this pin is determined by the differential voltage between the non-inverting and inverting inputs and the closed-loop gain of the amplifier.
Pin 6: NC (No Connect) This pin is not connected to the internal circuitry of the op-amp and is typically left unconnected in most applications.
Pin 7: Positive Supply (V+) This is the positive power supply pin for the op-amp. It is typically connected to a positive voltage source in dual-supply configurations.
Pin 8: Offset Null (Duplicate) Pin 8 functions the same as Pin 1, offering an alternative location to connect an offset-adjustment potentiometer.
