About supply current of AD8003

Category: Hardware
Product Number: AD8003

When using the configuration shown in the figure, with Rf set at 430 ohms and the Vin terminal floating, the current for dual power supply is around 9 mA, and there is no oscillation in Vo. However, when Rg, which is 7.5 ohms, is connected, the dual power supply current rises to 150 mA, and Vo exhibits sinusoidal oscillations. What could be causing this?

  • Hello Shaoy,

    Thanks for reaching out. What is your supply voltage, input voltage and load resistor? An Rf of 430ohms and Rg of 7.5ohms will give a gain of -57 which will amplify your output and increase the current on the load resistor which could possibly cause a high current pulled from the supply.


    Best Regards,
