The AD8597/AD8599 are very low noise, low distortion opera-tional amplifiers ideal for use as preamplifiers. The low noise of 1.1 nV/√Hz and low harmonic distortion of −120 dB (or better) at audio bandwidths give the AD8597/AD8599 the wide dynamic range necessary for preamplifiers in audio, medical, and instru-mentation applications. The excellent slew rate of 14 V/μs and 10 MHz gain bandwidth make them highly suitable for medical applications. The low distortion and fast settling time make them ideal for buffering of high resolution data converters.
