GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 are single/dual/quad
channel, zero drift op amps with low noise and power, ground
sensing inputs, and rail-to-rail output, optimized for total
accuracy over time, temperature, and voltage conditions. The
wide operating voltage and temperature ranges, as well as the
high open-loop gain and very low dc and ac errors make the
devices well suited for amplifying very small input signals and
for accurately reproducing larger signals in a wide variety of
applications.
The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 performance is
specified at 5.0 V, 30 V, and 55 V power supply voltages. These
devices operate over the range of 4.5 V to 55 V, and are excellent
for applications using single-ended supplies of 5 V, 10 V, 12 V,
and 30 V, or for applications using higher single supplies and
dual supplies of ±2.5 V, ±5 V, and ±15 V. The ADA4522-1/
ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 use on-chip filtering to achieve high
immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 are fully specified
over the extended industrial temperature range of −40°C to
+125°C and are available in 8-lead MSOP, 8-lead SOIC, 14-lead
SOIC, and 14-lead TSSOP packages.

ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 are single, dual, and
quad, ultralow noise, high voltage, zero drift, rail-to-rail output
operational amplifiers. They feature a chopping technique that
offers an ultralow input offset voltage of 5 µV and an input
offset voltage drift of 22 nV/°C maximum for theADA4522-1 and
ADA4522-2 and 25 nV/°C maximum for the ADA4522-4. Offset
voltage errors due to common-mode voltage swings and power
supply variations are also corrected by the chopping technique,
resulting in a superb typical CMRR figure of 160 dB and a
PSRR figure of 160 dB at a 30 V supply voltage.
The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 have wide operating
voltages from ±2.25 V (or 4.5 V) to ±27.5 V (or 55 V). The
devices are single supply amplifiers, where their input voltage
range includes the lower supply rail. They also offer low voltage
noise density of 5.8 nV/√Hz (at f = 1 kHz, AV = 100) and reduced
1/f noise component. These features are ideal for the amplification of low level signals in high precision applications. A few
examples of such applications are weigh scales, high precision
current sensing, high voltage buffers, and signal conditioning
for temperature sensors, among others.
Figure 71 shows the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4
architecture block diagram. The architecture consists of an
input EMI filter and clamp circuitry, three gain stages (Gm1, Gm2,
and Gm3), input and output chopping networks (CHOPIN and
+IN x
–IN x
CHOPIN
EMI
FILTER
AND
CLAMP
CHOPOUT), a clock generator, offset and ripple correction loop
circuitry, frequency compensation capacitors (C1, C2, and C3),
and thermal shutdown circuitry.
An EMI filter and clamp circuit is implemented at the input
front end to protect the internal circuitry against electrostatic
discharge (ESD) stresses and high voltage transients. The ability
of the amplifier to reject EMI is explained in detail in the EMI
Rejection Ratio section.
CHOPIN and CHOPOUT are controlled by a clock generator and
operate at 4.8 MHz. The input baseband signal is initially
modulated by CHOPIN. Next, CHOPOUT demodulates the input
signal and modulates the millivolt level input offset voltage and
1/f noise of the input transconductance amplifier, Gm1, to the
chopping frequency at 4.8 MHz. The chopping networks remove
the low frequency errors, but, in return, the networks introduce
chopping artifacts at the chopping frequency. Therefore, a offset
and ripple correction loop, operating at 800 kHz, is used. This
frequency is the switching frequency of the amplifier. This
circuitry reduces chopping artifacts, allowing the ADA4522-1/
ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 to have a high chopping frequency
with minimal artifacts.
The thermal shutdown circuit shuts down the circuit when
the die is overheated (see the Thermal Shutdown section for
more information).

ON-CHIP INPUT EMI FILTER AND CLAMP CIRCUIT
Figure 72 shows the input EMI filter and clamp circuit. The
ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 have internal ESD
protection diodes (D1, D2, D3, and D4) 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. This protection
scheme allows voltages as high as approximately 300 mV
beyond the rails to be applied at the input of either terminal
without causing permanent damage. See Table 5 in the Absolute
Maximum Ratings section for more information.
The EMI filter is composed of two 200 Ω input series resistors
(RS1 and RS2), two common-mode capacitors (CCM1 and CCM2),
and a differential capacitor (CDM). These RC networks set the
−3 dB low-pass cutoff frequencies at 50 MHz for commonmode signals, and at 33 MHz for differential signals. After the
EMI filter, back to back diodes (D5 and D6) are added to protect
internal circuit devices from high voltage input transients. Each
diode has about 1 V of forward turn on voltage. See the Large
Signal Transient Response section for more information on the
effect of high voltage input transient on the ADA4522-1/
ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4.
As specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section (see
Table 5), the maximum input differential voltage is limited to
±5 V. If more than ±5 V is applied, a continuous current larger
than ±10 mA flows through one of the back to back diodes.
This current compromises long-term reliability and can cause
permanent damage to the device.

PD_PER_AMP = (VSY+ − VSY−) × ISY_PER_AMP + IOUT × (VSY+ − VOUT) (2)
When sinking current, replace (VSY+ − VOUT) in Equation 2 with
(VOUT − VSY−).
Also, take note to include the power dissipation of all channels
of the amplifier when calculating the total power dissipation for
the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4.
The thermal shutdown circuitry does not guarantee the device
to be free of permanent damage if the junction temperature
exceeds 150°C. However, the internal thermal shutdown function
may help avoid permanent damage or reduce the degree of
damage. Each amplifier channel has thermal shutdown circuitry,
composed of a temperature sensor with hysteresis.
As soon as the junction temperature reaches 190°C, the thermal
shutdown circuitry shuts down the amplifier. Note that either
one of the two thermal shutdown circuitries is activated; this
activation disables the channel. When the amplifier is disabled,
the output becomes open state and the quiescent current of the
channel decreases to 0.1 mA. When the junction temperature
cools down to 160°C, the thermal shutdown circuitry enables
the amplifier and the quiescent current increases to its typical
value.
When overheating in the die is caused by an undesirable excess
amount of output current, the thermal shutdown circuit repeats
its function. The junction temperature keeps increasing until it
reaches 190°C and one of the channels is disabled. Then, the
junction temperature cools down until it reaches 160°C, and
the channel is enabled again. The process then repeats.

The total power dissipation is the sum of quiescent power of the
device and the power required to drive a load for all channels of
an amplifier. The power dissipation per amplifier (PD_PER_AMP)
for sourcing a load is shown in Equation 2.
Figure 72. Input EMI Filter and Clamp Circuit
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 have internal
thermal shutdown circuitry for each channel of the amplifier. The
thermal shutdown circuitry prevents internal devices from being
damaged by an overheat condition in the die. Overheating can
occur due to a high ambient temperature, a high supply voltage,
and/or high output currents. As specified in Table 5, take care to
maintain the junction temperature below 150°C.
Two conditions affect junction temperature (TJ): the total power
dissipation of the device (PD) and the ambient temperature
surrounding the package (TA). Use the following equation to
estimate the approximate junction temperature:
TJ = PD × θJA + TA
When either input of the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4
exceeds one of the supply rails by more than 300 mV, the ESD
diodes mentioned in the On-Chip Input EMI Filter and Clamp
Circuit section 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.
At a ±15 V supply voltage, the broadband voltage noise of the
ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 is approximately
5.8 nV/√Hz (at unity gain), and a 1 kΩ resistor has a thermal
noise of 4 nV/√Hz. Adding a 1 kΩ resistor increases the total
noise to 7 nV/√Hz.

where θJA is the thermal resistance between the die and the
ambient environment, as shown in Table 6.

ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4
The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 are single-supply
amplifiers, where their input voltage range includes the lower
supply rail. This feature is ideal for applications where the input
common-mode voltage is at the lower supply rail, for example,
ground sensing. Conversely, the amplifier output is rail to rail.
Figure 73 shows the input and output waveforms of the
ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 configured as a unitygain buffer with a supply voltage of ±15 V. With an input
voltage of ±15 V, the low output voltage tracks the input voltage,
whereas the high output swing clamps/distorts when the input
goes out of the input voltage range (−15 V ≤ IVR ≤ +13.5 V).
However, the device does not exhibit phase reversal.

The noninverting input is driven by an input signal source and
the inverting input is driven by the output of the amplifier. The
maximum amplifier output current depends on the input step
function and the external source resistance at the input
terminals of the amplifier.
Case 1
If the external source resistance is low (for example, 100 Ω in
Figure 75) or if the input step function is large, the maximum
amplifier output current is limited to the output short-circuit
current as specified in the Specifications section. The maximum
differential voltage between the input signal and the amplifier
output is then limited by the maximum amplifier output current
multiplied by the total input resistance (internal and external)
and the turn-on voltage of the back to back diode (see Figure 72
for the input EMI filter and clamp circuit architecture).

The inverting input voltage then starts slewing with the slew
rate specified in the Specifications section until it reaches its
desired output. Therefore, as seen in Figure 74, there are two
distinctive sections of the rising and falling edge of the output
waveform. With this test condition, the amount and duration of
the input/output current is limited and, therefore, does not
damage the amplifier.

Case 2
If the external source resistance is high or if the input step function
is small, the maximum output current is limited to the instantaneous difference between the input signal and amplifier output
voltage (which is the change in the step function) divided by the
source resistance. This maximum output current is less than the
amplifier output short-circuit current. The maximum differential
voltage between the input signal and the amplifier output is
then equal to the step function. The output voltage slews until it
reaches its desired output.
Therefore, if desired, reduce the input current by adding a larger
external resistor between the signal source and the noninverting
input. Similarly, to reduce output current, add an external resistor
to the feedback loop between the inverting input and output. This
large signal transient response issue is typically not a problem
when the amplifier is configured in closed-loop gain, where the
input signal source is usually much smaller and the gain and
feedback resistors limit the current.
Back to back diodes are also implemented in many other
amplifiers; these amplifiers show similar slewing behavior.
When the noninverting input voltage changes with a step signal,
the inverting input voltage (and, therefore, the output voltage)
follows the change quickly until it reaches the maximum differenRev. D | Page 23 of 32

NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
Residual Ripple
1/f Noise
As shown in Figure 60, Figure 61, and Figure 62, the ADA4522-1/
ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 have a flat noise spectrum density at
lower frequencies and exhibits spectrum density bumps and peaks
at higher frequencies.
The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 are some of the
lowest noise high voltage zero drift amplifiers with 5.8 nV/√Hz
of voltage noise density at 1 kHz (AV = 100). Therefore, it is
important to consider the input source resistance of choice to
maintain a total low noise. The total input referred broadband
noise (eN total) from any amplifier is primarily a function of
three types of noise: input voltage noise, input current noise,
and thermal (Johnson) noise from the external resistors.
These uncorrelated noise sources can be summed up in a root
sum squared (rss) manner by using the following equation:
eN total = (eN2 + 4 kTRS + (iN × RS)2)1/2
where:
eN is the input voltage noise density of the amplifier (V/√Hz).
k is Boltzmann’s constant (1.38 × 10−23 J/K).
T is the temperature in Kelvin (K).
RS is the total input source resistance (Ω).
iN is the input current noise density of the amplifier (A/√Hz).
The total equivalent rms noise over a specific bandwidth is
expressed as
eN RMS = eN total BW
where BW is the bandwidth in hertz.
This analysis is valid for broadband noise calculation up to a
decade before the switching frequency. If the bandwidth of
concern includes the switching frequency, more complicated
calculations must be made to include the effect of the increase
in noise at the switching frequency.
The offset and ripple correction loop, designed to reduce the
4.8 MHz switching artifact, also creates a noise bump centered
at 800 kHz and a noise peak on top of this noise bump. Although
the magnitude of the bump is mostly constant, the magnitude of
the 800 kHz peak is different from unit to unit. Some units may
not exhibit the 800 kHz noise peak; however, for other units,
peaks occur at multiple integrals of 800 kHz, such as 1.6 MHz or
2.4 MHz.
These noise peaks, albeit small in magnitude, can be significant
when the amplifier has a closed-loop frequency that is higher
than the chopping frequency. To suppress the noise spike to a
desired level, either configure the amplifier in a high gain
configuration or apply a post filter at the output of the amplifier.
Figure 76 shows the voltage noise density of the ADA4522-1/
ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 in various gain configurations. Note that
the higher the gain, the lower the available bandwidth is. The
earlier bandwidth roll-off effectively filters out the higher noise
spectrum.
100
With a low source resistance of RS < 1 kΩ, the voltage noise of
the amplifier dominates. As the source resistance increases, the
thermal noise of RS dominates. As the source resistance further
increases, where RS > 50 kΩ, the current noise becomes the
main contributor of the total input noise.

Source Resistance
The largest noise bump is centered at 6 MHz; this bump is due
to the decrease in the input gain at higher frequencies. This
decrease is a typical phenomenon and can also be seen in other
amplifiers. In addition to the noise bump, a sharp peak due to the
chopping networks is seen at 4.8 MHz. However, this magnitude is
significantly reduced by the offset and ripple correction loop. Its
magnitude may be different with different amplifier units or with
different circuitries around the amplifier. This peak can potentially
be hidden by the noise bump and, therefore, may not be detected.
VOLTAGE NOISE DENSITY (nV/√Hz)
1/f noise, also known as pink noise or flicker noise, is inherent
in semiconductor devices and increases as frequency decreases.
At a 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, because the low frequency
1/f noise appears as a slow varying offset to the ADA4522-1/
ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4, it is effectively reduced by the chopping
technique. This technique allows the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/
ADA4522-4 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 64 shows the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise to be only
117 nV p-p of noise.

Figure 77 shows the voltage noise density of the ADA4522-1/
ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 without and with post filters at different
frequencies. The post filter serves to roll off the bandwidth
before the switching frequency. In this example, the noise peak
at 800 kHz is about 38 nV/√Hz. With a post filter at 80 kHz, the
noise peak is reduced to 4.1 nV/√Hz. With a post filter at 8 kHz,
the noise peak is lower than the noise floor and cannot be detected.

Current Noise Density
Figure 78 shows the current noise density of the ADA4522-1/
ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 at unity gain. At 1 kHz, the current
noise density is about 1.3 pA/√Hz. The current noise density is
determined by measuring the voltage noise due to current noise
flowing through a resistor. Due to the low current noise density
of the amplifier, the voltage noise is usually measured with a
high value resistor; in this case, a 100 kΩ source resistor is used.
However, the source resistor interacts with the input capacitance of the amplifier and board, causing the bandwidth to roll
off. Note that Figure 78 shows the current noise density rolling
off much earlier than the unity-gain bandwidth; this roll-off is
expected.

The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 have integrated EMI
filters at their input stage. To describe the ability of the
ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 to perform as intended
in the presence of electromagnetic energy, the electromagnetic
interference rejection ratio (EMIRR) of the noninverting pin is
specified in Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4 of the Specifications
section. A mathematical method of measuring EMIRR is
defined as follows:

Circuit performance is often adversely affected by high frequency EMI. When the signal strength is low and transmission
lines are long, an op amp must accurately amplify the input
signals. However, all op amp pins—the noninverting input,
inverting input, positive supply, negative supply, and output
pins—are susceptible to EMI signals. These high frequency
signals are coupled into an op amp by various means, such as
conduction, near field radiation, or far field radiation. For example,
wires and printed circuit board (PCB) traces can act as antennas
and pick up high frequency EMI signals.
Amplifiers do not amplify EMI or RF signals due to their relatively low bandwidth. However, due to the nonlinearities of the
input devices, op amps can rectify these out of band signals. When
these high frequency signals are rectified, they appear as a dc
offset at the output.

EMI REJECTION RATIO
The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 can safely drive capacitive loads of up to 250 pF in any configuration. As with most
amplifiers, driving larger capacitive loads than specified may cause
excessive overshoot and ringing, or even oscillation. A heavy
capacitive load reduces the phase margin and causes the amplifier
frequency response to peak. Peaking corresponds to overshooting
or ringing in the time domain. Therefore, it is recommended that
external compensation be used if the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/
ADA4522-4 must drive a load exceeding 250 pF. This compensation is particularly important in the unity-gain configuration,
which is the worst case for stability.

A quick and easy way to stabilize the op amp for capacitive load
drive is by adding a series resistor, RISO, between the amplifier
output terminal and the load capacitance, as shown in Figure 80.
RISO isolates the amplifier output and feedback network from
the capacitive load. However, with this compensation scheme,
the output impedance as seen by the load increases, and this
reduces gain accuracy.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
SINGLE-SUPPLY INSTRUMENTATION AMPLIFIER
The extremely low offset voltage and drift, high open-loop gain,
high common-mode rejection, and high power supply rejection of
the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 make them excellent op
amp choices as discrete, single-supply instrumentation amplifiers.
Figure 82 shows the classic 3-op-amp instrumentation amplifier
using the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4. The key to high
CMRR for the instrumentation amplifier are resistors that are well
matched for both the resistive ratio and relative drift. For true
difference amplification, matching of the resistor ratio is very
important, where R5/R2 = R6/R4. The resistors are important
in determining the performance over manufacturing tolerances,
time, and temperature. Assuming a perfect unity-gain difference
amplifier with infinite common-mode rejection, a 1% tolerance
resistor matching results in only 34 dB of common-mode rejection.
Therefore, at least 0.01% or better resistors are recommended.

To build a discrete instrumentation amplifier with external resistors without compromising on noise, pay close attention to the
resistor values chosen. RG1 and RG2 each have thermal noise that
is amplified by the total noise gain of the instrumentation amplifier
and, therefore, a sufficiently low value must be chosen to reduce
thermal noise contribution at the output while still providing an
accurate measurement. Table 10 shows the external resistors noise

Understanding how noise impacts a discrete instrumentation
amplifier or a difference amplifier (the second stage of a 3-opamp instrumentation amplifier) is important, because they are
commonly used in many different applications. The Load
Cell/Strain Gage Sensor Signal Conditioning section and the
Precision Low-Side Current Shunt Sensor section show the
ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 used as a discrete
instrumentation or difference amplifier in an application.
The ADA4522-2, with its ultralow offset, drift, and noise, is well
suited to signal condition a low level sensor output with high gain
and accuracy. A weigh scale/load cell is an example of an
application with such requirements. Figure 83 shows a configuration for a single-supply, precision, weigh scale measurement
system. The ADA4522-2 is used at the front end for amplification
of the low level signal from the load cell.

Note that A1 and A2 have a high gain of 1 + R1/RG1. Therefore,
use a high precision, low offset voltage and low noise amplifier
for A1 and A2, such as the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4.
Conversely, A3 operates at a much lower gain and has a different set of op amp requirements. Its input noise, referred to the
Current flowing through a PCB trace produces an IR voltage
drop; with longer traces, this voltage drop can be several
millivolts or more, introducing a considerable error. A 1 inch
long, 0.005 inch wide trace of 1 oz copper has a resistance of
approximately 100 mΩ at room temperature. With a load
current of 10 mA, the resistance can introduce a 1 mV error.
Therefore, a 6-wire load cell is used in the circuit. The load cell
has two sense pins, in addition to excitation, ground, and two
output connections. The sense pins are connected to the high
side (excitation pin) and low side (ground pin) of the
Wheatstone bridge. The voltage across the bridge can then be
accurately measured regardless of voltage drop due to wire
resistance. The two sense pins are also connected to the analogto-digital converter (ADC) reference inputs for a ratiometric
configuration that is immune to low frequency changes in the
power supply excitation voltage.
The ADA4522-2 is configured as the first stage of a 3-op-amp
instrumentation amplifier to amplify the low level amplitude
signal from the load cell by a factor of 1 + 2R1/RG. Capacitors
C1 and C2 are placed in the feedback loops of the amplifiers
and interact with R1 and R2 to perform low-pass filtering. This
filtering limits the amount of noise entering the Σ-Δ ADC. In
addition, C3, C4, C5, R3, and R4 provide further common-mode
and differential mode filtering to reduce noise and unwanted
signals.

PRECISION LOW-SIDE CURRENT SHUNT SENSOR
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 zero drift amplifier provide
a solution. Figure 84 shows a low-side current sensing circuit
using the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4. The ADA4522-1/
ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 are configured as difference amplifiers
with a gain of 1000. Although the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/
ADA4522-4 have high CMRR, the CMRR of the system is
limited by the external resistors. Therefore, as mentioned in the

from both the resistive ratio and relative drift, where R1/R2 =
R3/R4.

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
industrial applications. In such applications, it is desirable to
use a shunt with very low resistance to minimize series voltage
drop. This configuration not only minimizes wasted power, but
also allows the measurement of high currents while saving power.

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT
The ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 are high precision
devices with ultralow offset voltage and noise. Therefore, take
care in the design of the PCB layout to achieve optimum
performance of the ADA4522-1/ADA4522-2/ADA4522-4 at the
board level.
To avoid leakage currents, keep the surface of the board clean
and free of moisture.
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 traces and solder to component leads. Figure 85
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

To minimize these thermocouple effects, orient resistors so
that heat sources warm both ends equally. Where possible, it
is recommended that the input signal paths 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.

Note that 10 kΩ resistors are used in series with the input of the
op amp. If smaller resistor values are used, the supply current of the
system increases much more. For more details on op amps as
comparators, see the AN-849 Application Note, Using Op Amps
as Comparators.
