Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AD623AR and AD623AR-REEL?
The AD623AR and AD623AR-REEL are the same AD623 instrumentation amplifier die in the same 8-lead SOIC (R-8) package. The only difference is packaging format: AD623AR is supplied in tube/tray quantities, while AD623AR-REEL is supplied on tape-and-reel for automated assembly. Electrical and functional specifications are identical.
Are AD623AR and AD623AR-REEL electrically and functionally interchangeable?
Yes. Both parts share the same datasheet specifications for the AD623: single-supply or dual-supply operation, rail-to-rail output, gain set by a single external resistor, and the same 8-lead SOIC pinout. They differ only in shipping packaging, so they are interchangeable in a validated design.
What package do AD623AR and AD623AR-REEL use?
Both are offered in the 8-lead SOIC package (R-8 suffix). The AD623AR and AD623AR-REEL therefore share the same package outline, pin configuration, and PCB land pattern.
What is the supply voltage range of the AD623?
The AD623 operates from a single supply of 3 V to 12 V, or from dual supplies of ±2.5 V to ±6 V. This applies equally to the AD623AR and AD623AR-REEL, since they are the same device.
How is gain set on the AD623AR and AD623AR-REEL?
Gain is programmed with a single external resistor connected between the RG pins (pins 1 and 8). The gain equation is G = 1 + (100 kΩ / RG). This applies to both the AD623AR and AD623AR-REEL.
Why would a designer choose AD623AR-REEL over AD623AR?
AD623AR-REEL is supplied on tape-and-reel, which is compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly lines and high-volume production. AD623AR in tubes is typically used for prototyping, low-volume runs, or manual assembly. The choice is purely a manufacturing/packaging decision.
Do AD623AR and AD623AR-REEL have the same operating temperature range?
Yes. Both are specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C, consistent with the AD623 datasheet for the R-8 package grade.
