LT1124/LT1125 Dual/Quad Low Noise, High Speed Precision Op Amps DESCRIPTION

The LT1124 dual and LT1125 quad are high performance op amps that offer higher gain, slew rate and bandwidth than the industry standard OP-27 and competing OP-270/ OP-470 op amps. In addition, the LT1124/LT1125 have lower IB and IOS than the OP-27; lower VOS and noise than the OP-270/OP-470. In the design, processing and testing of the device, particular attention has been paid to the optimization of the entire distribution of several key parameters. Slew rate, gain bandwidth and 1kHz noise are 100% tested for each individual amplier. Consequently, the specications of even the lowest cost grades (the LT1124C and the LT1125C) have been spectacularly improved compared to equivalent grades of competing ampliers. Power consumption of the LT1124 is one-half of two OP-27s. Low power and high performance in both rotated and standard 8-pin SO packages make the LT1124 a rst choice for surface mounted systems and where board space is restricted. For a decompensated version of these devices, with three times higher slew rate and bandwidth, please see the LT1126/LT1127 data sheet.

LT1124/LT1125 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime. Note 2: Typical parameters are dened as the 60% yield of parameter distributions of individual ampliers; i.e., out of 100 LT1125s (or 100 LT1124s) typically 240 op amps (or 120) will be better than the indicated specication. Note 3: This parameter is 100% tested for each individual amplier. Note 4: This parameter is sample tested only. Note 5: This parameter is not 100% tested. Note 6: The inputs are protected by back-to-back diodes. Current limiting resistors are not used in order to achieve low noise. If differential input voltage exceeds 1.4V, the input current should be limited to 25mA. Note 7: Slew rate is measured in AV = 1; input signal is 7.5V, output measured at 2.5V. Note 8: 0.1Hz to 10Hz noise can be inferred from the 10Hz noise voltage density test. See the test circuit and frequency response curve for 0.1Hz to 10Hz tester in the Applications Information section of the LT1007 or LT1028 data sheets. Note 9: This parameter is guaranteed but not tested. Note 10: The LT1124C/LT1125C and LT1124AC/LT1125AC are guaranteed to meet specied performance from 0C to 70C and are designed, characterized and expected to meet these extended temperature limits, but are not tested at 40C and 85C. The LT1124AI and LT1124I are guaranteed to meet the extended temperature limits.

LT1124/LT1125 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

The LT1124 may be inserted directly into OP-270 sockets. The LT1125 plugs into OP-470 sockets. Of course, all standard dual and quad bipolar op amps can also be replaced by these devices. Matching Specications In many applications the performance of a system depends on the matching between two op amps, rather than the individual characteristics of the two devices. The three op amp instrumentation amplier conguration shown in this data sheet is an example. Matching characteristics are not 100% tested on the LT1124/LT1125. Some specications are guaranteed by denition. For example, 70V maximum offset voltage implies that mismatch cannot be more than 140V. 112dB (= 2.5V/V) CMRR means that worst-case CMRR match is 106dB
50k* 15V

(5V/V). However, Table 1 can be used to estimate the expected matching performance between the two sides of the LT1124, and between ampliers A and D, and between ampliers B and C of the LT1125. Offset Voltage and Drift Thermocouple effects, caused by temperature gradients across dissimilar metals at the contacts to the input terminals, can exceed the inherent drift of the amplier 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. The circuit shown in Figure 1 to measure offset voltage is also used as the burn-in conguration for the LT1124/ LT1125, with the supply voltages increased to 16V.

LT1124/LT1125 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

High Speed Operation When the feedback around the op amp is resistive (RF), a pole will be created with RF, the source resistance and capacitance (RS, CS), and the amplier input capacitance (CIN 2pF). In low closed loop gain congurations and with RS and RF in the kilohm range, this pole can create excess phase shift and even oscillation. A small capacitor (CF) in parallel with RF eliminates this problem (see Figure 2). With RS (CS + CIN) = RFCF, the effect of the feedback pole is completely removed.
CF

During the fast feedthrough-like portion of the output, the input protection diodes effectively short the output to the input and a current, limited only by the output short circuit protection, will be drawn by the signal generator. With RF 500, the output is capable of handling the current requirements (IL 20mA at 10V) and the amplier stays in its active mode and a smooth transition will occur. Noise Testing Each individual amplier is tested to 4.2nV/Hz voltage noise; i.e., for the LT1124 two tests, for the LT1125 four tests are performed. Noise testing for competing multiple op amps, if done at all, may be sample tested or tested using the circuit shown in Figure 4. en OUT = (enA)2 + (enB)2 + (enC)2 + (enD)2 If the LT1125 were tested this way, the noise limit would be 4 (4.2nV/Hz)2 = 8.4nV/Hz. But is this an effective screen? What if three of the four ampliers are at a typical 2.7nV/Hz, and the fourth one was contaminated and has 6.9nV/Hz noise? RMS Sum = (2.7)2 + (2.7)2 + (2.7)2 + (6.9)2 = 8.33nV/Hz This passes an 8.4nV/Hz spec, yet one of the ampliers is 64% over the LT1125 spec limit. Clearly, for proper noise measurement, the op amps have to be tested individually.
