AD823ARZ Pinout & Function
The AD823ARZ comes in an 8-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package. It has the following pinout configuration:
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function 1 V– Negative power supply input (typically connected to ground) 2 IN– Negative input terminal for the differential signal 3 IN+ Positive input terminal for the differential signal 4 REF Reference input (sets output voltage reference) 5 OUT Output signal (amplified version of the differential input) 6 V+ Positive power supply input (typically connected to +5V or +3.3V) 7 NC No connection (reserved or unused pin) 8 NC No connection (reserved or unused pin)Pin Function Details
V– (Pin 1): This is the negative power supply pin. Typically, it is connected to ground (0V) in most applications. IN– (Pin 2): This is the negative input pin for the differential signal. It receives the lower voltage of the two signals being compared. IN+ (Pin 3): This is the positive input pin for the differential signal. It receives the higher voltage of the two signals being compared. REF (Pin 4): This reference pin determines the output reference voltage. It is often connected to a mid-supply voltage (e.g., 2.5V in a single-supply configuration) to center the output within the supply range. OUT (Pin 5): The output pin provides the amplified version of the differential input signal. The output will vary depending on the difference between IN+ and IN– and the reference voltage. V+ (Pin 6): This is the positive power supply pin. It typically connects to a supply voltage (e.g., +3.3V, +5V, etc.), depending on the operating conditions of the device. NC (Pin 7): This pin is not connected to any internal circuitry and is left unused in most applications. NC (Pin 8): Similar to Pin 7, this pin is reserved for internal use or for mechanical reasons. It has no electrical connection.Common Application Circuits
