Precision performance of the OP297 includes very low offset,
under 50 µV, and low drift, below 0.6 µV/°C. Open-loop gain
exceeds 2000 V/mV, ensuring high linearity in every application.
APPLICATIONS
Strain Gage and Bridge Amplifiers
High Stability Thermocouple Amplifiers
Instrumentation Amplifiers
Photo-Current Monitors
High Gain Linearity Amplifiers
Long-Term Integrators/Filters
Sample-and-Hold Amplifiers
Peak Detectors
Logarithmic Amplifiers
Battery-Powered Systems
Errors due to common-mode signals are eliminated by the
OP297’s common-mode rejection of over 120 dB, which minimizes offset voltage changes experienced in battery-powered
systems. Supply current of the OP297 is under 625 µA per
amplifier, and the part can operate with supply voltages as low
as ± 2 V.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP297 is the first dual op amp to pack precision performance
into the space-saving, industry-standard, 8-lead SOIC package.
Its combination of precision with low power and extremely low
input bias current makes the dual OP297 useful in a wide variety
of applications.
60
PIN CONNECTIONS
The OP297 uses a super-beta input stage with bias current
cancellation to maintain picoamp bias currents at all temperatures.
This is in contrast to FET input op amps whose bias currents
start in the picoamp range at 25°C, but double for every 10°C
rise in temperature, to reach the nanoamp range above 85°C.
Input bias current of the OP297 is under 100 pA at 25°C and is
under 450 pA over the military temperature range.
Combining precision, low power, and low bias current, the OP297
is ideal for a number of applications, including instrumentation
amplifiers, log amplifiers, photodiode preamplifiers, and longterm integrators. For a single device, see the OP97; for a quad,
see the OP497.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
OP297 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Extremely low bias current over a wide temperature range makes
the OP297 attractive for use in sample-and-hold amplifiers,
peak detectors, and log amplifiers that must operate over a wide
temperature range. Balancing input resistances is unnecessary
with the OP297. Offset voltage and TCVOS are degraded only
minimally by high source resistance, even when unbalanced.
100
90
The input pins of the OP297 are protected against large differential voltage by back-to-back diodes and current-limiting
resistors. Common-mode voltages at the inputs are not restricted
and may vary over the full range of the supply voltages used.
10
0%
20mV
The OP297 requires very little operating headroom about the
supply rails and is specified for operation with supplies as low as
2 V. Typically, the common-mode range extends to within 1 V
of either rail. The output typically swings to within 1 V of the
rails when using a 10 kΩ load.

(CLOAD = 1000 pF, AVCL = 1)
AC PERFORMANCE
The OP297’s ac characteristics are highly stable over its full
operating temperature range. Unity gain small-signal response is
shown in Figure 4. Extremely tolerant of capacitive loading on
the output, the OP297 displays excellent response with 1000 pF
loads (Figure 5).

OP297
The circuit of Figure 9 is a precision absolute value amplifier with
an input impedance of 30 MΩ. The high gain and low TCVOS
of the OP297 ensure accurate operation with microvolt input
signals. In this circuit, the input always appears as a commonmode signal to the op amps. The CMR of the OP297 exceeds
120 dB, yielding an error of less than 2 ppm.

GUARDING AND SHIELDING
To maintain the extremely high input impedances of the OP297,
care must be taken in circuit board layout and manufacturing.
Board surfaces must be kept scrupulously clean and free of moisture. Conformal coating is recommended to provide a humidity
barrier. Even a clean PC board can have 100 pA of leakage
currents between adjacent traces, so guard rings should be used
around the inputs. Guard traces are operated at a voltage close to
that on the inputs, as shown in Figure 7, so that leakage currents
become minimal. In noninverting applications, the guard ring
should be connected to the common-mode voltage at the inverting
input. In inverting applications, both inputs remain at ground,
so the guard trace should be grounded. Guard traces should be
on both sides of the circuit board.
PRECISION CURRENT PUMP
Maximum output current of the precision current pump shown
in Figure 10 is ±10 mA. Voltage compliance is ±10 V with ±15 V
supplies. Output impedance of the current transmitter exceeds
3 MΩ with linearity better than 16 bits.

OPEN-LOOP GAIN LINEARITY
The OP297 has both an extremely high gain of 2000 V/mV
minimum and constant gain linearity. This enhances the precision
of the OP297 and provides for very high accuracy in high closed
loop gain applications. Figure 8 illustrates the typical open-loop
gain linearity of the OP297 over the military temperature range.

In Figure 11, the CH must be of polystyrene, Teflon®, or polyethylene to minimize dielectric absorption and leakage. The
droop rate is determined by the size of CH and the bias current
of the OP297.

NONLINEAR CIRCUITS
Due to its low input bias currents, the OP297 is an ideal log
amplifier in nonlinear circuits such as the square and squareroot circuits shown in Figures 13 and 14. Using the squaring
circuit of Figure 13 as an example, the analysis begins by writing a
voltage loop equation across transistors Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4.

OP297
In these circuits, IREF is a function of the negative power supply.
To maintain accuracy, the negative supply should be well regulated. For applications where very high accuracy is required, a
voltage reference may be used to set IREF. An important consideration for the squaring circuit is that a sufficiently large input voltage
can force the output beyond the operating range of the output
op amp. Resistor R4 can be changed to scale IREF, or R1, and R2
can be varied to keep the output voltage within the usable range.
OP297 SPICE MACRO MODEL
Figures 14 and 15 show the node end net list for a SPICE macro
model of the OP297. The model is a simplified version of the
actual device and simulates important dc parameters such as VOS,
IOS, IB, AVO, CMR, VO, and ISY. AC parameters such as slew
rate, gain and phase response, and CMR change with frequency
are also simulated by the model.
The model uses typical parameters for the OP297. The poles
and zeros in the model were determined from the actual openand closed-loop gain and phase response of the OP297. In this
way, the model presents an accurate ac representation of the actual
device. The model assumes an ambient temperature of 25°C.
Unadjusted accuracy of the square-root circuit is better than 0.1%
over an input voltage range of 100 mV to 10 V. For a similar
input voltage range, the accuracy of the squaring circuit is better
than 0.5%.
