GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8591, AD8592, and AD8594 are single, dual, and quad
rail-to-rail, input and output single-supply amplifiers featuring
250 mA output drive current and a power saving shutdown mode.
The AD8592 includes an independent shutdown function for
each amplifier. When both amplifiers are in shutdown mode,
the total supply current is reduced to less than 1 μA. The AD8591
and AD8594 include a single master shutdown function that
reduces the total supply current to less than 1 μA. All amplifier
outputs are in a high impedance state when in shutdown mode.
These amplifiers have very low input bias currents, making them
suitable for integrators and diode amplification. Outputs are stable
with virtually any capacitive load. Supply current is less than
750 μA per amplifier in active mode.
Applications for these amplifiers include audio amplification for
portable computers, portable phone headsets, sound ports, sound
cards, and set-top boxes. The AD859x family is capable of driving
heavy capacitive loads, such as LCD panel reference levels.
The ability to swing rail to rail at both the input and output enables
designers to buffer CMOS DACs, ASICs, and other wide output
swing devices in single-supply systems.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The AD859x amplifiers are CMOS, high output drive, rail-to-
rail input and output single-supply amplifiers designed for low
cost and high output current drive. The parts include a power
saving shutdown function that makes the AD8591/AD8592/
AD8594 op amps ideal for portable multimedia and
telecommunications applications.
Figure 33 shows the simplified schematic for the AD8591/AD8592/
AD8594 amplifiers. Two input differential pairs, consisting of
an n-channel pair (M1, M2) and a p-channel pair (M3, M4),
provide a rail-to-rail input common-mode range. The outputs of
the input differential pairs are combined in a compound folded-
cascode stage that drives the input to a second differential pair
gain stage. The outputs of the second gain stage provide the gate
voltage drive to the rail-to-rail output stage.
The rail-to-rail output stage consists of M15 and M16, which
are configured in a complementary common source configuration.
As with any rail-to-rail output amplifier, the gain of the output
stage, and thus the open-loop gain of the amplifier, is dependent
on the load resistance. In addition, the maximum output voltage
swing is directly proportional to the load current. The difference
between the maximum output voltage to the supply rails, known as
the dropout voltage, is determined by the on-channel resistance
of the AD8591/AD8592/AD8594 output transistors. The output
dropout voltage is given in Figure 5 and Figure 6.

INPUT VOLTAGE PROTECTION
Although not shown in the simplified schematic, ESD protection
diodes are connected from each input to each power supply rail.
These diodes are normally reverse-biased, but turn on if either
input voltage exceeds either supply rail by more than 0.6 V. If this
condition occurs, limit the input current to less than ±5 mA.
This is done by placing a resistor in series with the input(s).
The minimum resistor value should be

OUTPUT PHASE REVERSAL
The AD8591/AD8592/AD8594 are immune to output voltage
phase reversal with an input voltage within the supply voltages
of the device. However, if either of the inputs of the device exceeds
0.6 V outside of the supply rails, the output could exhibit phase
reversal. This is due to the ESD protection diodes becoming
forward-biased, thus causing the polarity of the input terminals
of the device to switch.
The technique recommended in the Input Voltage Protection
section should be applied in applications where the possibility
of input voltages exceeding the supply voltages exists.
OUTPUT SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION
To achieve high output current drive and rail-to-rail performance,
the outputs of the AD859x family do not have internal short-
circuit protection circuitry. Although these amplifiers are
designed to sink or source as much as 250 mA of output current,
shorting the output directly to the positive supply could damage or
destroy the device. To protect the output stage, limit the maximum
output current to ±250 mA.
By placing a resistor in series with the output of the amplifier,
as shown in Figure 34, the output current can be limited. The
minimum value for RX is
mA250
SY
X
V
R (2)
For a 5 V single-supply application, RX should be at least 20 Ω.
Because RX is inside the feedback loop, VOUT is not affected. The
trade-off in using RX is a slight reduction in output voltage
swing under heavy output current loads. RX also increases the
effective output impedance of the amplifier to RO + RX, where RO
is the output impedance of the device.

POWER DISSIPATION
Although the AD859x amplifiers are able to provide load
currents of up to 250 mA, proper attention should be given to
not exceeding the maximum junction temperature for the device.
The junction temperature equation is
TJ = PDISS × θJA + TA (3)
where:
TJ is the AD859x junction temperature.
PDISS is the AD859x power dissipation.
θJA is the AD859x junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the
package.
TA is the ambient temperature of the circuit.
AD8591/AD8592/AD8594
Rev. B | Page 12 of 16
In any application, the absolute maximum junction temperature
must be limited to 150°C. If the junction temperature is exceeded,
the device could suffer premature failure. If the output voltage
and output current are in phase, for example, with a purely resistive
load, the power dissipated by the AD859x can be found as
PDISS = ILOAD × (VSYVOUT) (4)
where:
ILOAD is the AD859x output load current.
VSY is the AD859x supply voltage.
VOUT is the output voltage.
By calculating the power dissipation of the device and using the
thermal resistance value for a given package type, the maximum
allowable ambient temperature for an application can be found
using Equation 3.
CAPACITIVE LOADING
The AD859x exhibits excellent capacitive load driving capabilities
and can drive to 10 nF directly. Although the device is stable
with large capacitive loads, there is a decrease in amplifier
bandwidth as the capacitive load increases. Figure 35 shows
a graph of the AD8592 unity-gain bandwidth under various
capacitive loads.

When driving heavy capacitive loads directly from the AD859x
output, a snubber network can be used to improve the transient
response. This network consists of a series RC connected from
the output of the amplifier to ground, placing it in parallel with
the capacitive load. The configuration is shown in Figure 36.
Although this network does not increase the bandwidth of the
amplifier, it significantly reduces the amount of overshoot, as
shown in Figure 37.

When headphones are plugged into the jack, the normalizing
contacts disconnect from the audio contacts. This allows the
voltage to the AD8592 shutdown pins to be pulled to 5 V,
activating the amplifiers. With no plug in the output jack, the
shutdown voltage is pulled to 100 mV through the R1 and R3 + R5
voltage divider. This powers the AD8592 down when it is not
needed, saving current from the power supply or battery.
If gain is required from the output amplifier, add four additional
resistors, as shown in Figure 39. The gain of the AD8592 can

Figure 40. Speaker/Microphone Headset Amplifier Circuit
U1-A is used as a microphone preamplifier, where the gain of
the preamplifier is set as R3/R2. R1 is used to bias an electret
microphone, and C1 blocks any dc voltages from the amplifier.
U1-B is the speaker amplifier, and its gain is set at R5/R4. To
sum a stereo output, add R6, equal in value to R4.
Using the same principle described in the PC98-Compliant
Headphone/Speaker Amplifier section, the normalizing contact
on the microphone/speaker jack can be used to put the AD8592
into shutdown when the headset is not plugged in. The AD8592
shutdown inputs can also be controlled with TTL- or CMOS-
compatible logic, allowing microphone or speaker muting, if
desired.
AN INEXPENSIVE SAMPLE-AND-HOLD CIRCUIT
The independent shutdown control of each amplifier in the
AD8592 allows a degree of flexibility in circuit design. One
particular application for which this feature is useful is in
designing a sample-and-hold circuit for data acquisition. Figure 41
shows a schematic of a simple, yet extremely effective, sample-
and-hold circuit using a single AD8592 and one capacitor.

The U1-A amplifier is configured as a unity-gain buffer driving
a 1 nF capacitor. The input signal is connected to the noninverting
input, and the sample clock controls the shutdown for that
amplifier. When the sample clock is high, the U1-A amplifier is
active and the output follows VIN. When the sample clock goes
low, U1-A shuts down with the output of the amplifier going to
a high impedance state, holding the voltage on the C1 capacitor.
SINGLE-SUPPLY DIFFERENTIAL LINE DRIVER
Figure 43 shows a single-supply differential line driver circuit
that can drive a 600 Ω load with less than 0.7% distortion from
20 Hz to 15 kHz with an input signal of 4 V p-p and a single 5 V
supply. The design uses an AD8594 to mimic the performance
of a fully balanced transformer-based solution. However, this
design occupies much less board space, while maintaining low
distortion, and can operate down to dc. Like the transformer-based
design, either output can be shorted to ground for unbalanced
line driver applications without changing the circuit gain of 1.
The U1-B amplifier is used as a unity-gain buffer to prevent
loading on C1. Because of the low input bias current of the U1-B
CMOS input stage and the high impedance state of the U1-A
output in shutdown, there is little voltage droop from C1 during
the hold period. This circuit can be used with sample frequencies as
high as 500 kHz and as low as 1 Hz. By increasing the C1 value,
lower voltage droop is achieved for very low sample rates.

DIRECT ACCESS ARRANGEMENT FOR PCMCIA
MODEMS (TELEPHONE LINE INTERFACE)
Figure 42 illustrates a 5 V transmit/receive telephone line
interface for 600 Ω systems. It allows full duplex transmission
of signals on a transformer-coupled 600 Ω line in a differential
manner. Amplifier A1 provides gain that can be adjusted to
meet the modem output drive requirements. Both A1 and A2
are configured to apply the largest possible signal on a single
supply to the transformer. Because of the high output current
drive and low dropout voltages of the AD8594, the largest signal
available on a single 5 V supply is approximately 4.5 V p-p into
a 600 Ω transmission system. Amplifier A3 is configured as a
difference amplifier for two reasons. It prevents the transmit
signal from interfering with the receive signal, and it extracts
the receive signal from the transmission line for amplification
by A4. The gain of A4 can be adjusted in the same manner as
the gain of A1 to meet the input signal requirements of the
modem. Standard resistor values permit the use of single
inline package (SIP) format resistor arrays. Couple this with
the 16-lead TSSOP or SOIC footprint of the AD8594, and this
circuit offers a compact, cost-effective solution.

R8 and R9 set up the common-mode output voltage equal to
half of the supply voltage. C1 is used to couple the input signal
and can be omitted if the dc voltage of the input is equal to half
of the supply voltage.

desired. The gain of the circuit is
