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
per amplifier. This part can operate with supply voltages as low
as ±2 V.

The OP297 is the first dual op amp to pack precision performance into the space saving, industry-standard 8-lead SOIC
package. The combination of precision with low power and
extremely low input bias current makes the dual OP297 useful
in a wide variety of applications.
Errors due to common-mode signals are eliminated by the
common-mode rejection of over 120 dB, which minimizes
offset voltage changes experienced in battery-powered systems.
The supply current of the OP297 is under 625 μA.

OP297
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 can
vary over the full range of the supply voltages used.
AC PERFORMANCE
The ac characteristics of the OP297 are highly stable over its full
operating temperature range. Unity gain small signal response is
shown in Figure 26. Extremely tolerant of capacitive loading on
the output, the OP297 displays excellent response with 1000 pF
loads (see Figure 27).

5µs
Figure 28. Large Signal Transient Response (AVCL = +1)
GUARDING AND SHIELDING
To maintain the extremely high input impedances of the OP297,
care is 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 PCB can have 100 pA of leakage currents
between adjacent traces, therefore guard rings should be used
around the inputs. Guard traces operate at a voltage close to that
on the inputs, as shown in Figure 29, to minimize leakage
currents. 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 placed
on both sides of the circuit board.

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.

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 30 illustrates the
typical open-loop gain linearity of the OP297 over the military
temperature range.

The circuit in Figure 31 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
common-mode signal to the op amps. The CMR of the OP297
exceeds 120 dB, yielding an error of less than 2 ppm.
In Figure 33, 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 square
root circuits shown in Figure 35 and Figure 36. Using the
squaring circuit of Figure 35 as an example, the analysis begins
by writing a voltage loop equation across Transistor Q1,
Transistor Q2, Transistor Q3, and Transistor Q4.

Unadjusted accuracy of the square root circuit is better than

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; R2 can be varied to keep the output
voltage within the usable range.

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 can be used to set IREF.

leads to its transfer function

Op Amp A2 forms a current-to-voltage converter, which gives
VOUT = R2 × IOUT. Substituting (VIN/R1) for IIN and the previous
