PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What Is the AD8015AR?

AD8015AR is a wide bandwidth, single supply transimpedance amplifier from Analog Devices optimized for use in fiber optic receiver circuits. It is a complete, single-chip solution for converting photodiode current into a differential voltage output.[reference:0][reference:1]

The AD8015AR features a 240 MHz bandwidth, enabling applications in FDDI receivers and SONET/SDH receivers with data rates up to 155 Mbps. This high bandwidth supports data rates beyond 300 Mbps.[reference:2][reference:3] The differential outputs can drive ECL directly, or drive a comparator/fiber optic post amplifier.[reference:4][reference:5]

In addition to fiber optic applications, this low cost, silicon alternative to GaAs-based transimpedance amplifiers is ideal for systems requiring a wide dynamic range preamplifier or single-ended to differential conversion.[reference:6] The IC can be used with a standard ECL power supply (-5.2 V) or a PECL (+5 V) power supply; the common mode at the output is ECL compatible.[reference:7] The AD8015AR is available in an 8-lead SOIC package and is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C.[reference:8][reference:9]

Wide Bandwidth 240 MHz bandwidth supports data rates up to 155 Mbps (and beyond 300 Mbps) for high-speed fiber optic communication.[reference:10]
Complete Single-Chip Solution Converts photodiode current directly to differential voltage output with integrated transimpedance amplifier.[reference:11]
Low Cost, Low Power Silicon alternative to GaAs-based TIA with 25 mA typical supply current at 5 V.[reference:12]

DEVICE HIGHLIGHTS

Key Features and Benefits of AD8015AR

240 MHz Wide Bandwidth

240 MHz bandwidth enables applications in FDDI receivers and SONET/SDH receivers with data rates up to 155 Mbps, supporting data rates beyond 300 Mbps.[reference:13]

Ultra-Low Noise Performance

Input current noise of 3.0 pA/√Hz at 100 MHz and total input RMS noise of 26.5 nA to 100 MHz ensure high sensitivity for low-level optical signals.[reference:14]

Flexible Power Supply Options

Operates from a single 4.5V to 11V supply or dual ±2.25V to ±5.5V supplies. Can be used with standard ECL (-5.2V) or PECL (+5V) power supplies.[reference:15]

Differential Output with ECL Compatibility

Differential outputs drive ECL directly or drive a comparator/fiber optic post amplifier; output common mode is ECL compatible.[reference:16]

Low Power Consumption

25 mA typical supply current at 5 V and peak input current of ±350 µA, making it suitable for power-sensitive applications.[reference:17][reference:18]

Circuit Considerations for AD8015AR

Configuration & Operation

The AD8015AR is a transimpedance amplifier designed for fiber optic receiver applications:

  • Transimpedance Function: Converts photodiode current into a differential voltage output with 50Ω output impedance[reference:40]
  • Single-Ended Input: Optimized for direct connection to a photodiode with wide dynamic range[reference:41]
  • Differential Outputs: Differential outputs drive ECL directly or can drive a comparator/fiber optic post amplifier[reference:42]
  • Power Supply: Operates from single 4.5V to 11V or dual ±2.25V to ±5.5V supplies; compatible with ECL (-5.2V) or PECL (+5V)[reference:43]
  • Stable Operation: Stable operation with high capacitance photodetectors[reference:44]

PCB and Power-Supply Guidance

Transimpedance amplifier performance depends on layout, bypassing, and component selection:

  • Photodiode Connection: Connect photodiode directly to the input for optimal performance; minimize parasitic capacitance[reference:45]
  • Bypass Capacitors: Place 0.1 µF and 10 µF decoupling capacitors close to the supply pins
  • Layout Considerations: Keep input traces short and away from noise sources for low noise operation
  • Differential Outputs: Route differential outputs as a matched pair to maintain signal integrity
  • Output Load: 50Ω output impedance for driving transmission lines or ECL inputs[reference:46]
  • ESD Precautions: The device is ESD sensitive (up to 4000V can accumulate); proper ESD precautions are recommended[reference:47]
  • Verify the recommended PCB footprint from the official datasheet before production

REPLACEMENT GUIDANCE

Selecting an Alternative for AD8015AR

A replacement for the AD8015AR should not be selected only by product category. The electrical characteristics, package, and pin configuration must be evaluated against the actual circuit requirements.

Bandwidth (240 MHz)[reference:53]
Input current noise (3.0 pA/√Hz @ 100 MHz)[reference:54]
Supply voltage range (4.5V–11V single, ±2.25V–±5.5V dual)[reference:55]
Output type (Differential, 50Ω)[reference:56]
Package (8-lead SOIC)[reference:57]
Temperature range (–40°C to 85°C)[reference:58]
Peak input current (±350 µA)[reference:59]
Optical sensitivity (–36 dBm @ 155.52 Mbps)[reference:60]

Family alternatives: AD8015ARZ (lead-free RoHS-compliant version, active/production status)[reference:61], AD8015AR-REEL7 (tape and reel packaging)[reference:62], AD8015ARZ-REEL7 (lead-free, tape and reel)[reference:63]. The AD8015 is also available in die form (AD8015ACHIPS)[reference:64]. The AD8015AR is obsolete[reference:65]; for new designs, it is strongly recommended to use the lead-free version AD8015ARZ which remains in active production[reference:66]. Select based on RoHS compliance, packaging, and sourcing needs.
