GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP270 is a high performance, monolithic, dual operational
amplifier with exceptionally low voltage noise density (5 nV/√Hz
maximum at 1 kHz). It offers comparable performance to the
industry-standard OP27 from Analog Devices, Inc.
consumption of the dual OP270 is one-third less than two OP27
devices, a significant advantage for power conscious applications.
The OP270 is unity-gain stable with a gain bandwidth product
of 5 MHz and a slew rate of 2.4 V/μs.
The OP270 features an input offset voltage of less than 75 μV
and an offset drift of less than 1 μV/°C, guaranteed over the full
military temperature range. Open-loop gain of the OP270 is more
than 1,500,000 into a 10 kΩ load, ensuring excellent gain accuracy
and linearity, even in high gain applications. The input bias
current is less than 20 nA, which reduces errors due to signal
source resistance. With a common-mode rejection (CMR) of
greater than 106 dB and a power supply rejection ratio (PSRR)
of less than 3.2 μV/V, the OP270 significantly reduces errors
due to ground noise and power supply fluctuations. The power
The OP270 offers excellent amplifier matching, which is
important for applications such as multiple gain blocks, low
noise instrumentation amplifiers, dual buffers, and low noise
active filters.
Rev. F
The OP270 conforms to the industry-standard 8-lead CERDIP
and PDIP pinouts.
For higher speed applications, the ADA4004-2 or the AD8676
are recommended. For a quad op amp, see the OP470 data sheet.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The OP270 is a very low noise dual op amp, exhibiting a typical
voltage noise density of only 3.2 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz. Because the
voltage noise is inversely proportional to the square root of the
collector current, the exceptionally low noise characteristic of
the OP270 is achieved in part by operating the input transistors
at high collector currents. Current noise, however, is directly
proportional to the square root of the collector current. As a
result, the outstanding voltage noise density performance of the
OP270 is gained at the expense of current noise performance,
which is normal for low noise amplifiers.
Figure 33 also shows the relationship between total noise and
source resistance, but at 10 Hz. Total noise increases more
quickly than shown in Figure 32 because current noise is
inversely proportional to the square root of frequency. In
Figure 33, the current noise of the OP270 dominates the total
noise when RS is greater than 5 kΩ.
Figure 32 and Figure 33 show that to reduce total noise, source
resistance must be kept to a minimum. In applications with a
high source resistance, the OP200, with lower current noise
than the OP270, can provide lower total noise.

TOTAL NOISE (nV/√Hz)
To obtain the best noise performance in a circuit, it is vital to
understand the relationships among voltage noise (en), current
noise (in), and resistor noise (et).
TOTAL NOISE AND SOURCE RESISTANCE
The total noise of an op amp can be calculated by
E n  (e n ) 2  (i n R s ) 2  (e t ) 2
where:
En is the total input-referred noise.
en is the op amp voltage noise.
in is the op amp current noise.
et is the source resistance thermal noise.
RS is the source resistance.

Figure 34 shows peak-to-peak noise vs. source resistance over
the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz range. At low values of RS, the voltage noise
of the OP270 is the major contributor to peak-to-peak noise,
with current noise becoming the major contributor as RS
increases. The crossover point between the OP270 and the
OP200 for peak-to-peak noise is at a source resistance of 17 kΩ.

noise rather than by the voltage or current noise of the OP270.
When RS exceeds 20 kΩ, the current noise of the OP270
becomes the major contributor to total noise.

NOISE MEASUREMENTS
Noise Measurement—Noise Voltage Density
Peak-to-Peak Voltage Noise
The circuit of Figure 37 shows a quick and reliable method for
measuring the noise voltage density of dual op amps. The first
amplifier is in unity gain, with the final amplifier in a noninverting
gain of 101. Because the noise voltages of the amplifiers are
uncorrelated, they add in rms to yield
The device has to be warmed up for at least five minutes.
As shown in the warm-up drift curve (see Figure 8), the
offset voltage typically changes 2 μV due to increasing chip
temperature after power-up. In the 10 sec measurement
interval, these temperature-induced effects can exceed tens
of nanovolts.

For similar reasons, the device has to be well shielded from
air currents. Shielding also minimizes thermocouple effects.

Sudden motion in the vicinity of the device can also feed
through to increase the observed noise.

The test time to measure noise of 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz should
not exceed 10 sec. As shown in the noise-tester frequency
response curve of Figure 36, the 0.1 Hz corner is defined by
only one pole. The test time of 10 sec acts as an additional
pole to eliminate noise contribution from the frequency
band below 0.1 Hz.
Power should be supplied to the test circuit by well bypassed
low noise supplies, such as batteries. Such supplies will minimize output noise introduced via the amplifier supply pins.

The circuit of Figure 35 is a test setup for measuring peak-topeak voltage noise. To measure the 200 nV peak-to-peak noise

following precautions must be observed:

OP270
CAPACITIVE LOAD DRIVING AND POWER SUPPLY
CONSIDERATIONS
The OP270 is unity-gain stable and capable of driving large
capacitive loads without oscillating. Nonetheless, good supply
bypassing is highly recommended. Proper supply bypassing
reduces problems caused by supply line noise and improves the
capacitive load driving capability of the OP270.
In the standard feedback amplifier, the output resistance of the
op amp combines with the load capacitance to form a low-pass
filter that adds phase shift in the feedback network and reduces
stability. A simple circuit to eliminate this effect is shown in
Figure 39. The components C1 and R3 decouple the amplifier
from the load capacitance and provide additional stability. The
values of C1 and R3 shown in Figure 39 are for a load capacitance
of up to 1000 pF when used with the OP270.
UNITY-GAIN BUFFER APPLICATIONS
When Rf ≤ 100 Ω and the input is driven with a fast, large signal
pulse (>1 V), the output waveform looks like the one in Figure 40.
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, is
drawn by the signal generator. With Rf ≥ 500 Ω, the output is
capable of handling the current requirements (IL ≤ 20 mA at 10 V);
the amplifier stays in its active mode and a smooth transition occurs.
When Rf > 3 kΩ, a pole created by Rf and the input capacitance
(3 pF) of the amplifier creates additional phase shift and reduces
phase margin. A small capacitor (20 pF to 50 pF) in parallel with
Rf helps eliminate this problem.

LOW PHASE ERROR AMPLIFIER
The simple amplifier depicted in Figure 41 utilizes a monolithic
dual operational amplifier and a few resistors to substantially

error amplifier shows a much lower phase error, particularly for
frequencies where ω/βωT < 0.1. For example, a phase error of
−0.1° occurs at 0.002 ω/βωT for the single op amp amplifier, but
at 0.11 ω/βωT for the low phase error amplifier.

PHASE SHIFT (Degrees)
The low phase error amplifier performs second-order frequency compensation through the response of Op Amp A2 in
the feedback loop of A1. Both op amps must be extremely well
matched in frequency response. At low frequencies, the A1
feedback loop forces V2/(K1 + 1) = VIN. The A2 feedback loop
forces VO/(K1 + 1) = V2/(K1 + 1), yielding an overall transfer
function of VO/VIN = K1 + 1. The dc gain is determined by the
resistor divider at the output, VO, and is not directly affected by
the resistor divider around A2. Note that, like a conventional
single op amp amplifier, the dc gain is set by resistor ratios only.
Minimum gain for the low phase error amplifier is 10.

Figure 44 uses a DAC8221 (a dual 12-bit CMOS DAC) to pan a
signal between two channels. One channel is formed by the
current output of DAC A driving one-half of an OP270 in a
current-to-voltage converter configuration. The other channel
is formed by the complementary output current of DAC A,
which normally flows to ground through the AGND pin. This
complementary current is converted to a voltage by the other
half of the OP270, which also holds AGND at virtual ground.

Gain error due to mismatching between the internal DAC
ladder resistors and the current-to-voltage feedback resistors is
eliminated by using feedback resistors internal to the DAC8221.
Only DAC A passes a signal; DAC B provides the second
feedback resistor. With VREFB unconnected, the current-tovoltage converter, using RFBB, is accurate and not influenced by
digital data reaching DAC B. Distortion of the digital panning
control is less than 0.002% over the 20 Hz to 20 kHz audio
range. Figure 45 shows the complementary outputs for a 1 kHz
input signal and a digital ramp applied to the DAC data input.

The dual OP270 and the DAC8221 (a dual 12-bit CMOS DAC)
can be combined to form a space-saving, dual programmable
