Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The AD620BR and AD620BR-REEL7 are the same precision instrumentation amplifier die in the same 8-lead SOIC package, differing only in packaging format (tube vs. tape-and-reel). Electrical specifications, pinout, and footprint are identical, so the two part numbers are functionally interchangeable; selection should be driven solely by assembly and handling requirements.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | AD620BR | AD620BR-REEL7 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Amplifier Type | Instrumentation Amplifier | Instrumentation Amplifier | Confirms both parts are the same functional amplifier type, ensuring direct substitutability in the circuit. |
| Number of Channels | 1 | 1 | Channel count must match for the replacement to serve the same signal path. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1 MHz | 1 MHz | Determines the frequency range over which the amplifier provides usable gain; matching values preserve AC performance. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 50 µV | 50 µV | Low offset is critical for precision measurement; identical values ensure the same DC accuracy. |
| Input Bias Current (max) | 1 nA | 1 nA | Bias current affects error in high-impedance sensor interfaces; matching values preserve accuracy. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±2.3 V to ±18 V | ±2.3 V to ±18 V | The operating supply window must match to ensure compatibility with the existing power rail design. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40 °C to +85 °C | -40 °C to +85 °C | Temperature range must cover the application environment for reliable operation. |
| Package / Case | 8-SOIC | 8-SOIC | Footprint and package must match for physical board compatibility. |
| Packaging | Tube | Tape & Reel (7-inch reel) | Packaging differs for automated assembly versus manual handling; the electrical part is identical, but reel packaging suits high-volume pick-and-place production. |

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AD620BR and AD620BR-REEL7?
Both parts are the same AD620 instrumentation amplifier in the B grade (SOIC-8 package). The difference is packaging format: AD620BR is supplied in tube/tray quantities, while AD620BR-REEL7 is supplied on a 7-inch tape-and-reel for automated assembly. Electrical specifications are identical.
Are AD620BR and AD620BR-REEL7 electrically and functionally interchangeable?
Yes. Both are the same B-grade AD620 die in the same SOIC-8 package, so gain range (1 to 10,000), gain equation (G = 49.4 kΩ/RG + 1), supply range (±2.3 V to ±18 V), and offset/gain error grades are identical. Only the delivery format differs.
What are the key specifications of the AD620BR?
The AD620BR is a low-cost, low-power instrumentation amplifier with a gain set by a single external resistor, gain range of 1 to 10,000, maximum gain error of 0.15% at G = 10, maximum input offset voltage of 50 µV, input offset drift of 0.6 µV/°C, input bias current of 1.0 nA max, CMRR of 100 dB min at G = 10, and supply range of ±2.3 V to ±18 V. It is specified for the −40 °C to +85 °C temperature range.
What does the "REEL7" suffix indicate on AD620BR-REEL7?
The REEL7 suffix denotes a 7-inch tape-and-reel packaging format used for automated pick-and-place assembly. It does not change the device grade, electrical performance, or temperature specification relative to AD620BR.
Which part should be selected for high-volume automated PCB assembly?
AD620BR-REEL7 is the appropriate choice for automated SMT production lines because the 7-inch tape-and-reel format is compatible with standard pick-and-place feeders. AD620BR in tube/tray format is better suited to low-volume or manual assembly.
Do AD620BR and AD620BR-REEL7 share the same package and pinout?
Yes. Both are offered in the SOIC-8 package with the same pinout: pin 1 and pin 8 are the gain-setting resistor terminals (RG), pins 2 and 3 are the inverting and non-inverting inputs, pin 4 is −VS, pin 5 is REF, pin 6 is OUTPUT, and pin 7 is +VS. PCB land patterns are therefore identical.
Can AD620BR and AD620BR-REEL7 be used interchangeably in an existing design?
Yes, from an electrical and footprint standpoint they are interchangeable because they are the same B-grade device in the same SOIC-8 package. The only practical consideration is the assembly process: reeled parts require tape-and-reel handling equipment, while tube/tray parts suit manual or low-volume placement.
