Using advanced geometry dielectrically-isolated FET (Difet ) inputs, this monolithic amplifier achieves a performance level exceeding even the best hybrid electrometer amplifiers. Laser-trimmed thin-film resistors give outstanding voltage offset and drift performance. A noise-free cascode and low-noise processing give the OPA excellent low-level signal handling capabilities. Flicker noise is very low. The OPA is an improved pin-for-pin replacement for the AD. Difet Burr-Brown Corp.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT The OPA offset voltage is laser-trimmed and will require no further trim for most applications. As with most amplifiers, externally trimming the remaining offset can change drift performance by about.µv/ C for each µv of adjusted effort. Note that the trim (Figure ) is similar to operational amplifiers such as HA- and AD. The OPA can replace many other amplifiers by leaving the external null circuit unconnected. +V CC The amplifier case should be connected to any input shield or guard via pin. This insures that the amplifier itself is fully surrounded by guard potential, minimizing both leakage and noise pickup (see Figure ).

V CC () ±mv Typical Trim Range NOTE: () kω to MΩ Trim Potentiometer (kω Recommended) INPUT PROTECTION Conventional monolithic FET operational amplifiers inputs must be protected against destructive currents that can flow when input FET gate-to-substrate isolation diodes are forward-biased. Most BIFET amplifiers can be destroyed by the loss of V CC. Because of its dielectric isolation, no special protection is needed on the OPA. Of course, the differential and common-mode voltage limits should be observed. Static damage can cause subtle changes in amplifier input characteristics without necessarily destroying the device. In precision operational amplifiers (both bipolar and FET types), this may cause a noticeable degradation of offset voltage and drift. Static protection is recommended when handling any precision IC operational amplifier. GUARDING AND SHIELDING As in any situation where high impedances are involved, careful shielding is required to reduce hum pickup in input leads. If large feedback resistors are used, they should also be shielded along with the external input circuitry. Leakage currents across printed circuit boards can easily exceed the bias current of the OPA. To avoid leakage problems, it is recommended that the signal input lead of the OPA be wired to a Teflon standoff. If the input is to be soldered directly into a printed circuit board, utmost care must be used in planning the board layout. A guard pattern should completely surround the high impedance input leads and should be connected to a low impedance point which is at the signal input potential. In OPA Out FIGURE. Connection of Input Guard. Triboelectric charge (static electricity generated by friction) can be a troublesome noise source from cables connected to the input of an electrometer amplifier. Special low-noise cable will minimize this effect but the optimum solution is to mount the signal source directly at the electrometer input with short, rigid, wiring to preclude microphonic noise generation. TESTING Accurately testing the OPA is extremely difficult due to its high level of performance. Ordinary test equipment may not be able to resolve the amplifier s extremely low bias current. Inaccurate bias current measurements can be due to:. Test socket leakage. Unclean package. Humidity or dew point condensation. Circuit contamination from fingerprints or anti-static treatment chemicals. Test ambient temperature. Load power dissipation BIFET National Semiconductor Corp.
