The wideband noise is only 3nV/-VHz, and with the 1/f noise corner at 2.7Hz, low noise is maintained for all low frequency instrumentation applica- tions. Precision DC specifications match or exceed the best available op amps: offset voltage is 10x, drift with temperature and time are 0.2nV/C and 0.2nV/month, respectively; common mode reiection is 126dB, voltage gain is two million. The unity gain compensated OP-27 is an order of magnitude faster than other precision op amps. The decompensated OP-37 is even faster at a gain-bandwidth product of 63MHz and 17V/,Sec slew rate. These charac- teristics plus Linear Technologys advanced process and test techniques make the OP-27/37 an excellent choice for performance and reliability in all low noise, precision ampli- fier applications. in addition, Linear's QP-37 is completely latch-up free in high gain, farge capacitive feedback con- figurations. The accurate, microvolt, low noise signal han- dling capabilities of the OP-27 /37 are taken advantage of in the muitiplexed thermocouple application shown. For applications requiring higher performance, see the LT1007 and LT1037 data sheets. _ Low Noise, Multiplexed Thermocouple Amplifier 0.1Hz to 10Hz Noise TYPE THERMOCOUPLES 5.4a/C AT O + Lf COLD JUNCTION at CIRCUITRY > t_ TO GATE 5 DRIVE = + _ 2 x | { o fe ' P oureut = Co ' 2% . g = TYPICAL $ 00k # i | MULTIPLEXING $ 3 P+ ' FET SWITCHES k Hd < 100 ee HIGH QUALITY & - SINGLE POINT GROUND 9 2 4 6 a 10 L TIME (SECONDS) lf 24 channels are multiplexed per second, and the output is required to settle to 0.1% accuracy, the amplifier's bandwidth cannot be limited to less than 30Hz.

In addition, the OP-27/37 may be fitted to 741 sockets with the removal or modification of external null- ing components. Noise Testing The 0.1Hz to 10Hz peak-to-peak noise of the OP-27 / OP-37 is measured in the test circuit shown. The frequency response of this noise tester indicates that the 0.1Hz cor- fer is defined by only one zero. The test time to measure 0.1Hz to 10Hz noise should not exceed 10 seconds, as this time limit acts as an additional zero to eliminate noise contributions from the frequency band below 0.1Hz. Measuring the typical 80nV peak-to-peak noise perform- ance of the OP-27/37 requires special test precautions: (a) The device should be warmed up for at least five minutes. As the op amp warms up, its offset voltage changes typically 4, due to its chip temperature increasing 10C to 20C from the moment the power supplies are turned on. In the 10 second measure- ment interval these temperature-induced effects can easily exceed tens of nanovolts. 0.1Hz to 10Hz Noise Tast Circuit 109 - VOLTAGE GAIN = =50,000 *OP-27/0P-37 DEVICE UNDER TEST NOTE: ALL CAPACITOR VALUES ARE FOR NON-POLARIZED CAPACITORS ONLY = {b} For similar reasons, the device must be well shielded from air currents to eliminate the possibility of ther- moelectric effects in excess of a few nanovolts, which would invalidate the measurements. (c} Sudden motion in the vicinity of the device can also feedthrough to increase the observed noise. A noise-voltage density test is recommended when measuring noise on a large number of units. A 10Hz2 noise-voltage density measurement will correlate well with a 0.1Hz to 10Hz peak-to-peak noise reading since both results are determined by the white noise and the location of the 1/f corner frequency. Current noise is measured and calculated by the following ww! formula: |, [eno (130nV)2] n=" TMG x 100 10k 0.1Hz to 10Hz p-p Noise Tester Frequency Response 1m 70 GAIN (dB) oot 0.4 10 10 100 FREQUENCY (#2) 8 LI WieAPPLICATIONS INFORMATION Offset Voltage Adjustment The input offset voltage of the OP-27/37, and its drift with temperature, are permanently trimmed at wafer testing to a low level. However, if further adjustment of Vos is necessary, the use of a 10k nulling potentiometer will not degrade drift with temperature. Trimming to a value other than zero creates a crift of (Vog/300) pV/C, .g., if Vos is adjusted to 300zV, the change in drift will be 1pV/C. Standard Adjustment 1v The adjustment range with a 10k pot is approximately + 2.5m. If less adjustment range is needed, the sensi- tivity and resolution of the nulling can be improved by using @ smaller pot in conjunction with fixed resistors. The example has an approximate null range of + 200,V. Improved Sensitivity Adjustment +t5V Offset Voltage and Drift Thermocouple effects, caused by temperature gradients across dissimilar metals at the contacts to the input ter- minals, can exceed the inherent drift of the amplifier unless proper care is exercised. Air currents should be minimized, package leads should be short, the two input leads should be close together and maintained at the Same temperature. one OP-27/OP-37 The circuit shown to measure offset voltage is also used as the burn-in configuration for the OP-27/37, with the supply voltages increased to +20V, R1=R3= 10k, R2=2000, Ay = 100.

With Ry= 5002, the output is capable of handling the current requirements (1,<20mA at 10V) and the amplifier stays in its active mode and a smooth transition will occur. As with all operational amplifiers when Ry > 2kQ, a pole will be created with Re and the amplifier's input capacitance, creating additional phase shift and reducing the phase margin. A small capacitor (20pF to SOpF} in parallel with Ry will eliminate this problem.OP-27/OP-37 SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM a6 1 q q AA Ate AAA. l I A \. \~ 2 } 023 024 + 3 RON-INVERTING , azo INPUT (+) ota wa 4 019 ria LB} , Q1B o2B he a3 z - - Wie o AAA, _]| \~ vette | A hos INPUT ) os hs pat k a2 027 SK ozs 1 C1 =120pF FOR OP-27 24018 @ 12m Q sara - 1=15pF FOR OP-37 1] 10 oweno~ OP-27/OP-37 SS PACKAGE DESCRIPTION H Package Metal Can 0.3359. 370 (@ 0d 9.598) OA O30 9.395 iF a gs0gh | 0.040 47 O46) 6650 i CE ia 0165-0 185 + MAX 14 131 - 4 695} } om ' REFERENCE SEATING + PLANE A GA pane pt w= UN Pane 9900 0.750 0010-6 045 (lll ( fll {12 70-19 05) ag 9 750-=0.520 (0 254-1 143} ara med fg 2.918 -0. 021 10.406 0 303} 1P 0 O27 - 045 10 B86 - 1 143) as Te 2 2027-0034 AS 1 10.666 - 0 B64) 9.200 0.290, 15.080 - 5 B42) O110-0.160 (2.794 4 064) INSULATING.
