Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | AD8620BRZ | AD8620BR-REEL | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amplifier Type | JFET Input, Precision, Low Noise | JFET Input, Precision, Low Noise | Identical amplifier topology ensures the same signal-conditioning behavior and functional substitutability. |
| Number of Channels | 2 (Dual) | 2 (Dual) | Channel count must match for pin-compatible drop-in replacement in dual-op-amp circuits. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5 V to ±13 V | ±5 V to ±13 V | Matching supply range guarantees the part operates correctly in the target system's power rails. |
| Input Offset Voltage (Max) | 250 µV | 250 µV | Offset voltage directly affects DC accuracy; identical limits preserve precision performance. |
| Input Voltage Noise Density | 6 nV/√Hz (typ, 1 kHz) | 6 nV/√Hz (typ, 1 kHz) | Low noise is a key selection criterion; identical noise ensures equivalent SNR in sensitive applications. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 25 MHz | 25 MHz | GBW determines achievable closed-loop bandwidth; matching values preserve dynamic response. |
| Slew Rate | 60 V/µs | 60 V/µs | Slew rate limits large-signal response; identical values ensure the same transient behavior. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40 °C to +125 °C | -40 °C to +125 °C | Matching temperature ratings confirm suitability for the same environmental conditions. |
| Package / Packaging | 8-Lead SOIC (tube) | 8-Lead SOIC (tape and reel) | Same die and package; only the shipping format differs, which affects assembly line handling but not electrical function. |

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AD8620BRZ and AD8620BR-REEL?
Both parts are the same AD8620 dual precision JFET-input operational amplifier in the SOIC-8 (R-8) package with the B grade. The difference is packaging format: AD8620BRZ is supplied in tube/tray format, while AD8620BR-REEL is supplied on tape and reel for automated assembly. The "Z" suffix indicates RoHS-compliant lead-free construction per Analog Devices' part numbering convention.
Are AD8620BRZ and AD8620BR-REEL electrically identical?
Yes. Both are the AD8620 B-grade die in the same 8-lead SOIC package, so the electrical specifications are the same: low input bias current (typically 10 pA at 25°C), low offset voltage (B grade, 250 µV max), 25 MHz gain bandwidth, and 50 V/µs slew rate, operating from ±5 V to ±13 V supplies. The only documented difference is the shipping/packaging format.
Can AD8620BR-REEL be used as a drop-in replacement for AD8620BRZ?
Yes, from an electrical and footprint standpoint they are interchangeable because both use the identical SOIC-8 (R-8) package and the same B-grade silicon. The choice between them is driven by assembly method: tape and reel (AD8620BR-REEL) for automated pick-and-place lines, and tubes (AD8620BRZ) for manual or low-volume assembly.
What does the "Z" suffix mean on AD8620BRZ?
Per Analog Devices' part numbering convention, the "Z" suffix denotes a RoHS-compliant, lead-free package. AD8620BR-REEL is the reeled variant of the same B-grade device; designers should confirm the RoHS status of the specific reeled order code against the current Analog Devices datasheet and product page before finalizing a bill of materials.
What are the key specifications of the AD8620 B grade?
The AD8620 is a dual, low-noise, precision JFET-input op amp. Verified B-grade specifications include 250 µV maximum input offset voltage, 10 pA typical input bias current at 25°C, 25 MHz gain bandwidth product, 50 V/µs slew rate, and operation from ±5 V to ±13 V dual supplies. It is specified for the −40°C to +125°C temperature range.
Why would a design choose the reeled AD8620BR-REEL over the tubed AD8620BRZ?
Tape-and-reel packaging is required for high-volume automated surface-mount assembly, where pick-and-place equipment feeds directly from reels. Tubes (AD8620BRZ) are typically used for prototyping, low-volume runs, or manual placement. Since the silicon and package are identical, the decision is purely a manufacturing/logistics one.
Are AD8620BRZ and AD8620BR-REEL suitable for audio and precision instrumentation applications?
Yes. The AD8620 is designed for high-performance audio and precision signal conditioning, offering low noise, low input bias current, and wide bandwidth. Both order codes share these characteristics because they are the same B-grade device; selection between them depends only on the required packaging format for the assembly process.
