Here is a detailed explanation of the pin functions for the AD8656ARZ:
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function Description 1 Offset Null This pin is used for offset voltage adjustment. You can connect a potentiometer between this pin and pin 5 to fine-tune the op-amp's offset voltage. 2 Inverting Input (−) This is the inverting input terminal for the operational amplifier. It receives the signal that will be inverted. 3 Non-Inverting Input (+) This is the non-inverting input terminal for the operational amplifier. The signal applied here will remain in phase with the output. 4 V− (Negative Supply) This is the negative power supply pin, typically connected to ground (GND) in single-supply applications or to a negative voltage in dual-supply applications. 5 Offset Null As described in Pin 1, this pin is also used for offset voltage adjustment. A potentiometer between Pin 1 and Pin 5 allows for adjustment of the output offset. 6 Output This is the output pin where the amplified signal is provided to the next stage of the circuit. 7 V+ (Positive Supply) This is the positive power supply pin, typically connected to a positive voltage source in the circuit. 8 NC (No Connection) This pin has no internal connection and is typically not used in the circuit design.Circuit Principle Instructions:
