30 V Zero-Drift, Rail-to-Rail Output
Precision Amplifier
ADA4638-1
Figure 2. 8-Lead LFCSP
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADA4638-1 is a high voltage, high precision, zero-drift
amplifier featuring rail-to-rail output swing. It is guaranteed to
operate from 4.5 V to 30 V single supply or ±2.25 V to ±15 V
dual supplies while consuming less than 0.95 mA of supply
current at ±5 V.
With an offset voltage of 4 μV, offset drift less than 0.05 μV/°C,
no 1/f noise, and input voltage noise of only 1.2 μV p-p (0.1 Hz
to 10 Hz), the ADA4638-1 is suited for high precision applications
where large error sources cannot be tolerated. Pressure sensors,
medical equipment, and strain gage amplifiers benefit greatly
from nearly zero drift over the wide operating temperature
range. Many applications can take advantage of the rail-to-rail
output swing provided by the ADA4638-1 to maximize the signalto-noise ratio (SNR).
The ADA4638-1 is specified for the extended industrial (−40°C
to +125°C) temperature range and is available in 8-lead LFCSP
(3 mm × 3 mm) and SOIC packages.

ADA4638-1
Data Sheet
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The ADA4638-1, with its wide supply voltage range of 4.5 V to
30 V, is a precision, rail-to-rail output, zero-drift operational
amplifier that features a patented combination of auto-zeroing
and chopping technique. This unique topology allows the
ADA4638-1 to maintain its low offset voltage over a wide temperature range and over its operating lifetime. This amplifier offers
ultralow input offset voltage of 4.5 μV maximum and an input
offset voltage drift of 80 nV/°C maximum. Offset voltage errors
due to common-mode voltage swings and power supply variations are also corrected by the auto-zeroing and chopping technique, resulting in a superb typical CMRR figure of 142 dB and
a PSRR figure of 143 dB at a ±15 V supply voltage. With ultrahigh
dc accuracy and no 1/f noise component, the ADA4638-1 is
ideal for high gain amplification of low level signals in dc or low
frequency applications without the risk of excessive output
voltage errors.
DIFFERENTIATION
Traditionally, zero-drift amplifiers are designed using either the
auto-zeroing or chopping technique. Each technique has its
benefits and drawbacks. Auto-zeroing usually results in low
noise energy at the auto-zeroing frequency, at the expense of
higher low frequency noise due to aliasing of wideband noise
into the auto-zeroed frequency band. Chopping results in lower
low frequency noise at the expense of larger noise energy at the
chopping frequency. The ADA4638-1 uses both auto-zeroing
and chopping in a patented ping-pong arrangement to obtain
lower low frequency noise together with lower energy at the
chopping and auto-zeroing frequencies, maximizing the signalto-noise ratio for the majority of applications. The relatively
high chopping frequency of 16 kHz and auto-zeroing frequency
of 8 kHz simplifies filter requirements for a wide, useful
bandwidth.

ADA4638-1
THEORY OF OPERATION
While A1 is being auto-zeroed, A2 (nulled by A4, C3, and C4)
is used for signal amplification. The ADA4638-1 differs from
traditional auto-zero amplifiers in that the input offset voltage
is also chopped during signal amplification. During φ1, +IN
and −IN are applied to the noninverting and inverting inputs,
respectively, of A2. However, during φ2, both the inputs and
outputs of A2 are inverted, and the input offset voltage of A2 is
chopped.
The combination of auto-zeroing and chopping offers two major
benefits. First, any residual offset following the auto-zeroing
process is reduced. During φ1, the output offset voltage of A2 is
+VOSAZ2 and during φ2, it is –VOSAZ2, producing a theoretical
average of zero. Second, the aliased noise spectrum density at dc
due to auto-zeroing is modulated up to the chopping frequency,
and the prechopped noise spectrum density at the chopping
frequency is modulated down to dc. This noise transformation
lowers the noise spectrum density at dc, thus making zero-drift
amplifiers ideal for low frequency signal amplification.
During φ3 and φ4, the roles of A1 and A2 are reversed. A2
offset is nulled, and the input signal is chopped and amplified
using A1.

Figure 57 shows the ADA4638-1 amplifier block diagram. The
noninverting and inverting amplifier inputs are +IN and –IN,
respectively. The transconductance amplifiers, A1 and A2, are
the two input gain stages; the A3 and A4 transconductance
amplifiers are the nulling amplifiers used to correct the offsets
of A1 and A2, and AOUT is the output amplifier. A four-phase
cycle (φ1 to φ4) controls the switches. In Phase 1 (φ1), A1 is
auto-zeroed where both the inputs of A1 are connected to +IN.
A1 produces a differential output current of VOS1 × gm1, where
VOS1 is the input offset voltage of A1, and gm1 is the differential
transconductance of A1. The outputs of A1 are then connected
to the inputs and outputs of A3. A3 is designed to have an
equivalent resistance of 1/gm3, where gm3 is the transconductance of A3. The amplified version of VOS1, which is VOS1 ×
gm1/gm3, is stored on Capacitors C1 and C2. These capacitors,
together with A3, are used to null out the offset of A1 when A1
amplifies the signal during the φ3 and φ4 phases.
Figure 57. ADA4638-1 Amplifier Block Diagram
INPUT PROTECTION
The ADA4638-1 has internal ESD protection diodes that are
connected between the inputs and each supply rail. These diodes
protect the input transistors in the event of electrostatic discharge and are reverse-biased during normal operation. However,
if either input exceeds one of the supply rails, these ESD diodes
become forward-biased and large amounts of current begin to
flow through them. Without current limiting, this excessive
fault current causes permanent damage to the device. If the
inputs are expected to be subject to overvoltage conditions,
insert a resistor in series with each input to limit the input
current to 10 mA maximum. However, consider the resistor
thermal noise effect on the entire circuit.
NO OUTPUT PHASE REVERSAL
An undesired phenomenon, phase reversal (also known as
phase inversion) occurs in many amplifiers when one or both of
the inputs are driven beyond the specified input common-mode
voltage range, in effect reversing the polarity of the output. In
some cases, phase reversal can induce lockups and cause
equipment damage as well as self destruction.
The ADA4638-1 has been carefully designed to prevent any
output phase reversal, provided that both inputs are maintained
within the supply voltages. If either one or both inputs may
exceed either supply voltage, place resistors in series with the
inputs to limit the current to less than 10 mA.
The ADA4638-1 features rail-to-rail output with a supply voltage from 4.5 V to 30 V. Figure 58 shows the input and output
waveforms of the ADA4638-1 configured as a unity-gain buffer
with a supply voltage of ±15 V and a resistive load of 10 kΩ.
The ADA4638-1 does not exhibit phase reversal.

0.6
The low frequency 1/f noise appears as a slow varying offset to
the ADA4638-1 and is greatly reduced by the combination of
auto-zeroing and chopping technique. This allows the ADA4638-1
to have a much lower noise at dc and low frequency in comparison
to standard low noise amplifiers that are susceptible to 1/f noise.
Figure 47 and Figure 50 show the voltage noise density of the
ADA4638-1 with no 1/f noise.
COMPARATOR OPERATION
Op amps are designed to operate in a closed-loop configuration
with feedback from its output to its inverting input. Figure 59
shows the ADA4638-1 configured as a voltage follower with an
input voltage, which is kept at midpoint of the power supplies.
A1 and A2 indicate the placement of ammeters to measure supply
currents. ISY+ refers to the current flowing into the positive
supply pin of the op amp, and ISY− refers to the current flowing
out of the negative supply pin of the op amp. From Figure 60, as
expected in normal operating condition, the current flowing
into the op amp is equivalent to the current flowing out of the op
amp, where ISY+ = ISY−.

1/f noise, also known as pink noise or flicker noise, is inherent
in semiconductor devices and increases as frequency decreases.
At low frequency, 1/f noise is a major noise contributor and
causes a significant output voltage offset when amplified by the
noise gain of the circuit. However, the ADA4638-1 eliminates
the 1/f noise internally, thus making it an excellent choice for dc
or low frequency high precision applications. The 0.1 Hz to
10 Hz voltage noise is only 1.2 μV p-p at ±15 V of supply voltage.

In contrast to op amps, comparators are designed to work in an
open-loop configuration and to drive logic circuits. Although
op amps are different from comparators, occasionally an unused
section of a dual op amp is used as a comparator to save board
space and cost; however, this is not recommended.
Figure 61 and Figure 62 show the ADA4638-1 configured as
a comparator, with resistors RIN1 and RIN2 in series with the
input pins.

Note that, at 30 V of supply voltage, 8 mA to 9 mA of current
flows through the input pins. This is undesirable. The ADA4638-1
is not recommended to be used as a comparator. If absolutely
necessary, place resistors in series with the inputs of the amplifier to limit input current to less than 10 mA.

ADA4638-1
Data Sheet
Many applications require the sensing of signals near the
positive or negative rails. Current shunt sensors are one such
application and are mostly used for feedback control systems.
They are also used in a variety of other applications, including
power metering, battery fuel gauging and feedback controls in
electrical power steering. In such application, it is desirable to
use a shunt with very low resistance to minimize series voltage
drop. This not only minimizes wasted power, but also allows the
measurement of high currents while saving power. A typical
shunt may be 100 mΩ. At a measured current of 1 A, the
voltage produced from the shunt is 100 mV, and the amplifier
error sources are not critical. However, at low measured current
in the 1 mA range, the 100 μV generated across the shunt
demands a very low offset voltage and drift amplifier to
maintain absolute accuracy. The unique attributes of a zerodrift amplifier provides a solution. The ADA4638-1, with its
input common-mode voltage that includes the lower supply rail,
can be used for implementing low-side current shunt sensors.
Figure 67 shows a low-side current sensing circuit using the
ADA4638-1. The ADA4638-1 is configured as a difference
amplifier with a gain of 1000. Although the ADA4638-1 has
high common-mode rejection, the CMR of the system is limited
by the external resistors. Therefore, the key to high CMR for the
system are resistors that are well matched from both the
resistive ratio and relative drift, where R1/R2 = R3/R4. The
resistors are important in determining the performance over
manufacturing tolerances, time, and temperature.
To avoid leakage currents, keep the surface of the board clean
and free of moisture. Coating the board surface creates a barrier
to moisture accumulation and reduces parasitic resistance on
the board.
Properly bypassing the power supplies and keeping the supply
traces short minimizes power supply disturbances caused by
output current variation. Connect bypass capacitors as close as
possible to the device supply pins. Stray capacitances are a
concern at the outputs and the inputs of the amplifier. It is
recommended that signal traces be kept at a distance of at least
5 mm from supply lines to minimize coupling.
A potential source of offset error is the Seebeck voltage on the
circuit board. The Seebeck voltage occurs at the junction of two
dissimilar metals and is a function of the temperature of the
junction. The most common metallic junctions on a circuit
board are solder-to-board trace and solder-to-component lead.
Figure 68 shows a cross section of a surface-mount component
soldered to a PCB. A variation in temperature across the board
(where TA1 ≠ TA2) causes a mismatch in the Seebeck voltages at
the solder joints thereby resulting in thermal voltage errors that
degrade the performance of the ultralow offset voltage of the
ADA4638-1.

To minimize these thermocouple effects, orient resistors so that
heat sources warm both ends equally. Where possible, the input
signal paths should contain matching numbers and types of
components to match the number and type of thermocouple
junctions. For example, dummy components, such as zero value
resistors, can be used to match the thermoelectric error source
(real resistors in the opposite input path). Place matching components in close proximity and orient them in the same manner to
ensure equal Seebeck voltages, thus cancelling thermal errors.
Additionally, use leads that are of equal length to keep thermal
conduction in equilibrium. Keep heat sources on the PCB as far
away from amplifier input circuitry as is practical.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT
The ADA4638-1 is a high precision device with ultralow offset
voltage and offset voltage drift. Therefore, care must be taken in
the design of the printed circuit board (PCB) layout to achieve
optimum performance of the ADA4638-1 at board level.
It is highly recommended to use a ground plane. A ground plane
helps distribute heat throughout the board, maintains a constant
temperature across the board, and reduces EMI noise pickup.
