Low-Noise, 900kHz, RRIO,
Precision OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER
Zerø-Drift Series
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
• LOW NOISE
– 0.4µVPP, 0.1Hz to 10Hz
– 20nV/√Hz at 1kHz
• ZERØ-DRIFT SERIES
– LOW OFFSET VOLTAGE: 20µV
– LOW OFFSET DRIFT: 0.1µV/°C
• QUIESCENT CURRENT: 125µA
• GAIN BANDWIDTH: 900kHz
• RAIL-TO-RAIL INPUT/OUTPUT
• EMI FILTERING
• SUPPLY VOLTAGE: 2.2V to 5.5V
• microSIZE PACKAGES: SC70 and SOT23
The OPA378 and OPA2378 represent a new
generation of Zerø-Drift, microPOWER™ operational
amplifiers that use a proprietary auto-calibration
technique to provide minimal input offset voltage
(50µV max) and offset voltage drift (0.25µV/°C max).
The combination of low input voltage noise, high gain
bandwidth (900kHz), and low power (150µA max)
enable these devices to achieve optimum
performance for low-power precision applications. In
addition, the excellent PSRR performance, coupled
with a wide input supply range of 2.2V to 5.5V and
rail-to-rail input and output, makes it an outstanding
choice for single-supply applications that run directly
from batteries without regulation.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Stresses above these ratings may cause permanent damage. Exposure to absolute maximum conditions for extended periods may
degrade device reliability. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond
those specified is not supported.
Input terminals are diode-clamped to the power-supply rails. Input signals that can swing more than 0.3V beyond the supply rails should
be current limited to 10mA or less.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
OPERATING VOLTAGE
The OPA378 and OPA2378 can be used with single
or dual supplies from an operating range of VS =
+2.2V (±1.1V) and up to VS = +5.5V (±2.75V). This
device does not require symmetrical supplies, only a
differential supply voltage of 2.2V to 5.5V. A
power-supply rejection ratio of 1.5µV/V (typical)
ensures that the device functions with an unregulated
battery source. Supply voltages higher than +7V can
permanently damage the device; see the Absolute
Maximum Ratings table. Key parameters are assured
over the specified temperature range, TA = –40°C to
+125°C. Parameters that vary over the supply voltage
or temperature range are shown in the Typical
Characteristics section of this data sheet.

VOS (mV)
The OPA378 and OPA2378 are unity-gain stable,
precision operational amplifiers that are free from
phase reversal. The use of proprietary Zerø-Drift
circuitry gives the benefit of low input offset voltage
over time and temperature as well as lowering the 1/f
noise component. This design provides the
optimization of gain, noise, and power, making the
OPA378 series one of the best performers in this
bandwidth range. As a result of the high PSRR, this
device works well in applications that run directly from
battery power without regulation. They are optimized
for low-voltage, single-supply operation. These
miniature, high-precision, low quiescent current
amplifiers offer high-impedance inputs that have a
common-mode range 100mV beyond the supplies,
excellent CMRR, and a rail-to-rail output that swings
within 10mV of the supplies. This design results in
superior performance for driving analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs) without degradation of differential
linearity.

Figure 25. Offset Voltage versus Common-Mode
Voltage
Normally, input bias current is about 150pA; however,
input voltages exceeding the power supplies can
cause excessive current to flow into or out of the
input pins. Momentary voltages greater than the
power supply can be tolerated if the input current is
limited to 10mA. This limitation is easily accomplished
with an input resistor, as Figure 26 shows.

The OPA378 and OPA2378 input common-mode
voltage range extends 0.05V beyond the supply rails.
The OPA378 achieves a common-mode rejection
ratio of 112dB (typical) over the common-mode
voltage range. Figure 25 shows the variation of offset
voltage over the entire specified common-mode
range for 10 typical units.

The typical input bias current of the OPA378 during
normal operation is approximately 150pA. In
over-driven conditions, the bias current can increase
significantly (see Figure 24). The most common
cause of an over-driven condition occurs when the op
amp is outside of the linear range of operation. When
the output of the op amp is driven to one of the
supply rails the feedback loop requirements cannot
be satisfied and a differential input voltage develops
across the input pins. This differential input voltage
results in activation of parasitic diodes inside the front
end input chopping switches that combine with 1.5kΩ
EMI filter resistors to create the equivalent circuit
shown in Figure 27.

OPA378 operational amplifier family incorporates an
internal input low-pass filter that reduces the amplifier
response to EMI. Both common-mode and
differential-mode filtering are provided by the input
filter. The filter is designed for a cutoff frequency of
approximately 25MHz (–3dB), with a roll-off of 20dB
per decade. Figure 28 shows the EMI filter.

INTERNAL OFFSET CORRECTION
The OPA378 and OPA2378 family of op amps use an
auto-calibration technique with a time-continuous
350kHz op amp in the signal path. This amplifier is
zero-corrected every 3µs using a proprietary
technique. Upon power-up, the amplifier requires
approximately 100µs to achieve specified VOS
accuracy. This architecture has no aliasing or flicker
noise.
NOISE
The OPA378 series of op amps have excellent
distortion characteristics. Total harmonic distortion +
noise is below 0.003% (G = +1, VO = 3VRMS, and f =
1kHz, with a 10kΩ load). Design of low-noise op amp
circuits requires careful consideration of a variety of
possible noise contributors: noise from the signal
source, noise generated in the op amp, and noise
from the feedback network resistors. The total noise
of the circuit is the root-sum-square combination of all
the noise components.
EMI SUSCEPTIBILITY AND INPUT FILTERING
Operational amplifiers vary in their susceptibility to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). If conducted EMI
enters the operational amplifier, the dc offset
observed at the amplifier output may shift from its
nominal value while the EMI is present. This shift is a
result of signal rectification associated with the
internal semiconductor junctions. While all operational
amplifier pin functions can be affected by EMI, the
input pins are likely to be the most susceptible. The

GENERAL LAYOUT GUIDELINES
Attention to good layout practices is always
recommended. Keep traces short and, when
possible, use a printed circuit board (PCB) ground
plane with surface-mount components placed as
close to the device pins as possible. Place a 0.1µF
capacitor closely across the supply pins. These
guidelines should be applied throughout the analog
circuit to improve performance.
For lowest offset voltage and precision performance,
circuit layout and mechanical conditions should be
optimized. Avoid temperature gradients that create
thermoelectric (Seebeck) effects in the thermocouple
junctions formed from connecting dissimilar
conductors. These thermally-generated potentials can
be made to cancel by assuring they are equal on
both input terminals. Other layout and design
considerations include:
• Use low thermoelectric-coefficient conditions
(avoid dissimilar metals).
• Thermally isolate components from power
supplies or other heat sources.
• Shield op amp and input circuitry from air
currents, such as cooling fans.
Following these guidelines reduces the likelihood of
junctions being at different temperatures, which can
cause thermoelectric voltages of 0.1µV/°C or higher,
depending on materials used.

ELECTRICAL OVERSTRESS
Designers often ask questions about the capability of
an operational amplifier to withstand electrical
overstress. These questions tend to focus on the
device inputs, but may involve the supply voltage pins
or even the output pin. Each of these different pin
functions have electrical stress limits determined by
the voltage breakdown characteristics of the
particular semiconductor fabrication process and
specific circuits connected to the pin. Additionally,
internal electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is
built into these circuits to protect them from
accidental ESD events both before and during
product assembly.
It is helpful to have a good understanding of this
basic ESD circuitry and its relevance to an electrical
overstress event. Figure 29 shows the ESD circuits
contained in the OPA378 (indicated by the dashed
line area). The ESD protection circuitry involves
several current-steering diodes connected from the
input and output pins and routed back to the internal
power-supply lines, where they meet at an absorption
device internal to the operational amplifier. This
protection circuitry is intended to remain inactive
during normal circuit operation.

An ESD event produces a short duration,
high-voltage pulse that is transformed into a short
duration, high-current pulse as it discharges through
a semiconductor device. The ESD protection circuits
are designed to provide a current path around the
operational amplifier core to prevent it from being
damaged. The energy absorbed by the protection
circuitry is then dissipated as heat.
When an ESD voltage develops across two or more
of the amplifier device pins, current flows through one
or more of the steering diodes. Depending on the
path that the current takes, the absorption device
may activate. The absorption device has a trigger, or
threshold voltage, that is above the normal operating
voltage of the OPA378 but below the device
breakdown voltage level. Once this threshold is
exceeded, the absorption device quickly activates
and clamps the voltage across the supply rails to a
safe level.
When the operational amplifier connects into a circuit
such as that illustrated in Figure 29, the ESD
protection components are intended to remain
inactive and not become involved in the application
circuit operation. However, circumstances may arise
where an applied voltage exceeds the operating
voltage range of a given pin. Should this condition
occur, there is a risk that some of the internal ESD
protection circuits may be biased on, and conduct
current. Any such current flow occurs through
steering diode paths and rarely involves the
absorption device.
Figure 29 depicts a specific example where the input
voltage, VIN, exceeds the positive supply voltage
(+VS) by 300mV or more. Much of what happens in
the circuit depends on the supply characteristics. If
+VS can sink the current, one of the upper input
steering diodes conducts and directs current to +VS.
Excessively high current levels can flow with
increasingly higher VIN. As a result, the datasheet
specifications recommend that applications limit the
input current to 10mA.
If the supply is not capable of sinking the current, VIN
may begin sourcing current to the operational
amplifier, and then take over as the source of positive
supply voltage. The danger in this case is that the
voltage can rise to levels that exceed the operational
amplifier absolute maximum ratings. In extreme but
rare cases, the absorption device triggers on while
+VS and –VS are applied. If this event happens, a
direct current path is established between the +VS
and –VS supplies. The power dissipation of the
absorption device is quickly exceeded, and the
extreme internal heating destroys the operational
amplifier.
Another common question involves what happens to
the amplifier if an input signal is applied to the input
while the power supplies +VS and/or –VS are at 0V.
Again, it depends on the supply characteristic while at
0V, or at a level below the input signal amplitude. If
the supplies appear as high impedance, then the
operational amplifier supply current may be supplied
by the input source via the current steering diodes.
This state is not a normal bias condition; the amplifier
most likely will not operate normally. If the supplies
are low impedance, then the current through the
steering diodes can become quite high. The current
level depends on the ability of the input source to
deliver current, and any resistance in the input path.
APPLICATION IDEAS
Figure 30 shows the basic configuration for a bridge
amplifier.
A low-side current shunt monitor is shown in
Figure 31. RN are optional resistors used to isolate
the ADS8325 from the noise of the digital two-wire
bus. Because the ADS8325 is a 16-bit converter, a
precise reference is essential for maximum accuracy.
If absolute accuracy is not required, and the 5V
power supply is sufficiently stable, the REF3330 may
be omitted.
Figure 32 shows a high-side current monitor. The
load current develops a voltage drop across RSHUNT.
The noninverting input monitors this voltage and is
duplicated on the inverting input. RG then has the
same voltage drop as RSHUNT. RG can be sized to
provide whatever current is most convenient to the
designer based on design constraints. The current
from RG then flows through the MOSFET and to
resistor RL, creating a voltage that can be read. Note
that RL and RG set the voltage gain of the circuit.
The supply voltage for the op amp is derived from the
zener diode. For the OPA378 VS must be between
2.2V and 5.5V. Two possible methods to bias the
zener are shown in the circuit of Figure 32: the
customary resistor bias and the current monitor. The
current monitor biasing achieves the lowest possible
voltage. Resistor R1 and the diode on the
noninverting input provide short-circuit protection.
