LT1012AMH

LT1012A/LT1012 Picoamp Input Current, Microvolt Offset, Low Noise Op Amp DESCRIPTIO The LT ®1012 is an internally compensated universal precision operational amplifier which can be used in practically all precision applications. The LT1012 combines picoampere bias currents (which are maintained over the full –55°C to 125°C temperature range), microvolt offset voltage (and low drift with time and temperature), low voltage and current noise, and low power dissipation. The LT1012 achieves precision operation on two Ni-Cad batteries with 1mW of power dissipation. Extremely high common mode and power supply rejection ratios, practically unmeasurable warm-up drift, and the ability to deliver 5mA load current with a voltage gain of one million round out the LT1012’s superb precision specifications. The all around excellence of the LT1012 eliminates the necessity of the time consuming error analysis procedure of precision system design in many applications; the LT1012 can be stocked as the universal internally compensated precision op amp. , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

compensation or nulling components. The LT1012 can also be used in 741, LF411, LF156 or OP-15 applications provided that the nulling circuitry is removed. Although the OP-97 is a copy of the LT1012, the LT1012 directly replaces and upgrades OP-97 applications. The LT1012C and D have lower offset voltage and drift than the OP-97F. The LT1012A has lower supply current than the OP-97A/E. In addition, all LT1012 grades guarantee operation at ±1.2V supplies. Achieving Picoampere/Microvolt Performance In order to realize the picoampere/microvolt level accuracy of the LT1012, proper care must be exercised. For example, leakage currents in circuitry external to the op amp can significantly degrade performance. High quality insulation should be used (e.g. Teflon, Kel-F); cleaning of all insulating surfaces to remove fluxes and other residues will probably be required. Surface coating may be necessary to provide a moisture barrier in high humidity environments. Board leakage can be minimized by encircling the input circuitry with a guard ring operated at a potential close to that of the inputs: in inverting configurations the guard ring should be tied to ground, in non-inverting connections to the inverting input at Pin 2. Guarding both sides of the printed circuit board is required. Bulk leakage reduction depends on the guard ring width. Nanoampere level leakage into the offset trim terminals can affect offset voltage and drift with temperature. OFFSET TRIM V+ OUTPUT 6 OVER COMP 5 4 3 2 7 8 1 V– GUARD IN PU TS LT1012A * AI01 U Microvolt level error voltages can also be generated in the external circuitry. Thermocouple effects caused by temperature gradients across dissimilar metals at the contacts to the input terminals can exceed the inherent drift of the amplifier. Air currents over device leads should be minimized, package leads should be short, and the two input leads should be as close together as possible and maintained at the same temperature. Noise Testing For application information on noise testing and calculations, please see the LT1008 data sheet. Frequency Compensation The LT1012 can be overcompensated to improve capacitive load handling capability or to narrow noise bandwidth. In many applications, the feedback loop around the amplifier has gain (e.g. Iogarithmic amplifiers); overcompensation can stabilize these circuits with a single capacitor. The availability of the compensation terminal permits the use of feedforward frequency compensation to enhance slew rate. The voltage follower feedforward scheme bypasses the amplifier’s gain stages and slews at nearly 10V/µs. The inputs of the LT1012 are protected with back-to-back diodes. Current limiting resistors are not used, because the leakage of these resistors would prevent the realization of picoampere level bias currents at elevated temperatures. In the voltage follower configuration, when the input is driven by a fast, large signal pulse (>1V), the input protection diodes effectively short the output to the input during slewing, and a current, limited only by the output short-circuit protection will flow through the diodes. The use of a feedback resistor, as shown in the voltage follower feedforward diagram, is recommended because this resistor keeps the current below the short-circuit limit, resulting in faster recovery and settling of the output. sn1012 1012afbs W UU 11 LT1012A/LT1012 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Test Circuit for Offset Voltage and its Drift with Temperature 50k * Follower Feedforward Compensation 50pF 15V – + 5V/DIV 2 100Ω* 3 7 LT1012 4 6 V0 50k* 5k –15V V0 = 1000V0S IN *RESISTORS MUST HAVE LOW THERMOELECTRIC POTENTIAL LT1012A • AI02 TYPICAL APPLICATIO S Ampmeter with Six Decade Range 10k 15V Q3 100µA METER R1 2k 1.2k 0.1µF 100pA Q1 Q2 RANGE 1nA 2 549Ω 549Ω 549Ω Q4 PIN 13 CA3146 100nA 549Ω 1µA 549Ω 10µA Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, RCA CA3146 TRANSISTOR ARRAY.
