Replacement verdict
Compatible functional replacement candidate
The AD620BRZ-R7 and AD620BR are functionally equivalent instrumentation amplifiers sharing the same core specifications, package, and pinout, making them interchangeable in most designs. The primary distinction lies in the RoHS-compliant Z-grade designation and tape-and-reel packaging of the AD620BRZ-R7 versus the tube packaging of the AD620BR, which should be validated against your assembly and compliance requirements.

Key electrical and mechanical differences between the two devices
| Parameter | AD620BRZ-R7 | AD620BR | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Channels | 1 | 1 | Both are single-channel instrumentation amplifiers, so channel count is functionally equivalent. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1 MHz | 1 MHz | Determines the maximum frequency at which the amplifier can provide useful gain; identical bandwidth supports direct substitution. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 50 µV | 50 µV | Low offset voltage is critical for precision amplification of small differential signals; matching values preserve accuracy. |
| Input Bias Current (max) | 1 nA | 1 nA | Low bias current minimizes errors in high-impedance sensor interfaces; identical values ensure equivalent performance. |
| Gain Range | 1 to 10000 | 1 to 10000 | Defines the programmable gain span via a single resistor; identical range supports the same circuit designs. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±2.3 V to ±18 V | ±2.3 V to ±18 V | Determines compatibility with the system power rails; identical range allows drop-in replacement. |
| CMRR (min, G=10) | 100 dB | 100 dB | Common-mode rejection ratio affects noise immunity in differential measurement; matching values ensure equivalent signal integrity. |
| Operating Temperature Range | -40 °C to +85 °C | -40 °C to +85 °C | Defines the environmental envelope for reliable operation; identical ratings support the same application conditions. |
| Package / Mounting | 8-SOIC (tape and reel) | 8-SOIC (tube) | Packaging format differs (reel vs tube) which affects assembly line handling, but the SOIC footprint is identical for PCB compatibility. |

Frequently asked questions
What are the main differences between the AD620BRZ-R7 and the AD620BR?
Both parts are based on the same AD620 instrumentation amplifier core from Analog Devices and share identical electrical specifications, including a gain range of 1 to 10,000 set by a single external resistor, a maximum input offset voltage of 50 µV, a maximum input offset drift of 0.6 µV/°C, and a minimum CMRR of 100 dB (G = 10). The primary differences are packaging and ordering format: the AD620BRZ-R7 is supplied in a 7-inch tape-and-reel (R7) for automated assembly, while the AD620BR is supplied in a standard tube/rail format. Both use the same 8-lead SOIC package (R suffix) and the Z suffix indicates RoHS-compliant, lead-free construction for the AD620BRZ-R7.
Are the AD620BRZ-R7 and AD620BR electrically interchangeable?
Yes. Both devices are grade-B AD620 instrumentation amplifiers in the same 8-lead SOIC package with identical pinout and specified performance over the same temperature range. The only practical distinction is the shipping container (tape-and-reel vs. tube), so they can be used interchangeably in the same PCB footprint, provided the assembly process matches the packaging format.
What is the gain-setting method for these devices?
Gain is programmed with a single external resistor connected between pins 1 and 8. The gain equation is G = (49.4 kΩ / RG) + 1, allowing gains from 1 (RG open) up to 10,000. This applies identically to both the AD620BRZ-R7 and the AD620BR.
What are the supply voltage and quiescent current specifications?
Both parts operate from dual supplies of ±2.3 V to ±18 V (or a single supply of 4.6 V to 36 V). Maximum supply current is 1.3 mA over the specified temperature range, making them suitable for low-power precision signal conditioning.
Do the AD620BRZ-R7 and AD620BR meet the same precision specifications?
Yes. Both are B-grade devices with a maximum input offset voltage of 50 µV, maximum input offset drift of 0.6 µV/°C, maximum input bias current of 1.0 nA, and minimum CMRR of 100 dB at G = 10. Noise performance is also identical, with 9 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz and 0.28 µV p-p noise from 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz.
Which part should be selected for high-volume automated PCB assembly?
The AD620BRZ-R7 is the appropriate choice for automated pick-and-place lines because it is supplied in 7-inch tape-and-reel packaging. The AD620BR in tube packaging is better suited to low-volume prototyping or manual assembly.
Are both parts RoHS compliant?
The AD620BRZ-R7 carries the Z suffix, which denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free construction. The AD620BR is the non-Z ordering code and should be verified against the specific manufacturer datasheet and ordering guide for its compliance status before use in RoHS-restricted designs.
