Outstanding performance characteristics are now available for low-cost applications. Noise, bias current, voltage offset, drift, open-loop gain, common-mode rejection, and power supply rejection are superior to BIFET® amplifiers. Very low bias current is obtained by dielectric isolation with on-chip guarding. Laser-trimming of thin-film resistors gives very low offset and drift. Extremely low noise is achieved with new circuit design techniques (patented). A new cascode design allows high precision input specifications and reduced susceptibility to flicker noise. Standard 741 pin configuration allows upgrading of existing designs to higher performance levels. 8 7 +VCC –In 2 3 +In Noise-Free Cascode* 6 Output Trim 10kΩ 1 5 Trim 10kΩ 2kΩ 2kΩ 2kΩ 2kΩ 4 –VCC *Patented OPA121 Simplified Circuit Difet ®, Burr-Brown Corp.

As with most amplifiers, externally trimming the remaining offset can change drift performance by about 0.3µV/°C for each 100µV of adjusted offset. Note that the trim (Figure 1) is similar to operational amplifiers such as 741 and AD547. The OPA121 can replace most BIFET amplifiers by leaving the external null circuit unconnected. 6 OPA121 1 3 5 ±10mV Typical Trim Range 4 * –VCC *10k Ω to 1M Ω Trim Potentiometer (100k Ω Recommended) INPUT PROTECTION FIGURE 1. Offset Voltage Trim. Conventional monolithic FET operational amplifiers require external current-limiting resistors to protect their inputs 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 –VCC. than 6V more negative than –VCC. A 10kΩ series resistor will limit input current to a safe level with up to ±15V input levels even if both supply voltages are lost. Static damage can cause subtle changes in amplifier input characteristics without necessarily destroying the device. In precision operational amplifiers (both bipolar and FET types), Unlike BIFET amplifiers, the Difet OPA121 requires input current limiting resistors only if its input voltage is greater ® 5 OPA121 this may cause a noticeable degradation of offset voltage and drift. Non-Inverting Static protection is recommended when handling any precision IC operational amplifier. 8 2 GUARDING AND SHIELDING 3 In 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. Buffer 8 2 6 Out OPA121 3 OPA121 6 Out In TO-99 Bottom View Inverting Leakage currents across printed circuit boards can easily exceed the bias current of the OPA121. To avoid leakage problems, it is recommended that the signal input lead of the OPA121 be wired to a Teflon™ standoff. If the OPA121 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. 4 5 6 In 3 2 3 6 Out OPA121 7 2 8 8 1 Mini-DIP Bottom View The amplifier case should be connected to any input shield or guard via pin 8. This insures that the amplifier itself is fully surrounded by guard potential, minimizing both leakage and noise pickup (see Figure #2). 1 8 BOARD LAYOUT FOR INPUT GUARDING Guard top and bottom of board. Alternate: use Teflon standoff for sensitive input pins. 7 2 6 3 4 5 If guarding is not required, pin 8 (case) should be connected to ground. FIGURE 2. Connection of Input Guard. BIAS CURRENT CHANGE VERSUS COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE 80 70 Input Bias Current (pA) The input bias currents of most popular BIFET operational amplifiers are affected by common-mode voltage (Figure 3). Higher input FET gate-to-drain voltage causes leakage and ionization (bias) currents to increase. Due to its cascode input stage, the extremely-low bias current of the OPA121 is not compromised by common-mode voltage. 60 50 AD547 40 30 LF155 LF156/157 20 10 0 –10 Teflon™ E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.
