1 TC913A TC913B DUAL AUTO-ZEROED OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS 2 FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION ■ The TC913 is the world's first complete monolithic, dual auto-zeroed operational amplifier. The TC913 sets a new standard for low-power, precision dual-operational amplifiers. Chopper-stabilized or auto-zeroed amplifiers offer low offset voltage errors by periodically sampling offset error, and storing correction voltages on capacitors. Previous single amplifier designs required two user-supplied, external 0.1µF error storage correction capacitors — much too large for on-chip integration. The unique TC913 architecture requires smaller capacitors, making on-chip integration possible. Microvolt offset levels are achieved and external capacitors are not required. The TC913 system benefits are apparent when contrasted with a TC7650 chopper amplifier circuit implementation. A single TC913 replaces two TC7650's and four capacitors. Five components and assembly steps are eliminated. The TC913 pinout matches many popular dualoperational amplifiers: OP-04, TLC322, LM358, and ICL7621 are typical examples. In many applications, operating from dual 5V power supplies or single supplies, the TC913 offers superior electrical performance, and can be a functional drop-in replacement; printed circuit board rework is not necessary. The TC913's low offset voltage error eliminates offset voltage trim potentiometers often needed with bipolar and low-accuracy CMOS operational amplifiers. The TC913 takes full advantage of TelCom's proprietary CMOS technology. Unity gain bandwidth is 1.5 MHz and slew rate is 2.5 V/µsec. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ First Monolithic Dual Auto-Zeroed Operational Amplifier Chopper Amplifier Performance Without External Capacitors — VOS ........................................................ 15µV Max — VOS Drift ....................................... 0.15µV/°C Max — Saves Cost/Assembly of Four "Chopper" Capacitors SOIC Packages Available High DC Gain ................................................. 120dB Low Supply Current ...................................... 650µA Low Input Voltage Noise (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz) ........................................ 0.65µVP-P Wide Common-Mode Voltage Range .................................

DUAL AUTO-ZEROED OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS 1 TC913A TC913B Theory of Operation Avoiding Latch-Up Each of the TC913's two op-amps actually consists of two amplifiers. A main amplifier is always connected from the input to the output. A separate nulling amplifier alternately nulls its own offset and then the offset of the amplifier. Since each amplifier is continuously being nulled, offset voltage drift with time, temperature, and power supply variations is greatly reduced. All nulling circuitry is internal and the nulling operation is transparent to the user. Offset nulling voltages are stored on two internal capacitors. An internal oscillator and control logic, shared by the TC913's two amplifiers, control the nulling process. Junction-isolated CMOS circuits inherently contain a parasitic p-n-p-n transistor circuit. Voltages exceeding the supplies by 0.3V should not be applied to the device pins. Larger voltages can turn the p-n-p-n device on, causing excessive device power supply current and power dissipation. The TC913's power supplies should be established at the same time or before input signals are applied. If this is not possible, input current should be limited to 0.1mA to avoid triggering the p-n-p-n structure. 2 3 Pin Compatibility The TC913 pinout is compatible with OP-14, LM358, MC1458, LT1013, TLC322, and similar dual op amps. In many circuits operating from single or ±5V supplies, the TC913 is a drop-in replacement offering DC performance rivaling that of the best single op amps. The TC913's amplifiers include a low-impedance class AB output buffer. Some previous CMOS chopper amplifiers used a high-impedance output stage which made open-loop gain dependent on load resistance. The TC913's open-loop gain is not dependent on load resistance. 4 5 Overload Recovery The TC913 recovers quickly from output saturation. Typical recovery time from positive output saturation is 20msec. Negative output saturation recovery time is typically 5msec. 6 7 8 TELCOM SEMICONDUCTOR, INC. 3-271 DUAL AUTO-ZEROED OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS TC913A TC913B TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS Input Offset Voltage vs. Common-Mode Voltage 1200 800 600 400 200 0 2 3 4 5 6 ± SUPPLY VOLTAGE (V) 7 8 ± OUTPUT VOLTAGE (V) Output Voltage Swing vs. Load Resistance TA = +25°C VS = ±5V 4.2 30 VS = ±5V TA = +25°C 40 CLOSED-LOOP GAIN (dB) INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE (µV) SUPPLY CURRENT (µA) 1000 5.0 Gain and Phase vs. Frequency 50 35 TA = +25°C 25 20 15 10 5 0 –6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 1 2 3 4 INPUT COMMON-MODE VOLTAGE (V) Negative Overload Recovery Time PHASE 30 +SWING 180 135 GAIN 20 90 10 45 0 0 –10 –45 –20 –90 –30 –135 –40 10k –180 10M 100k 1M FREQUENCY (Hz) Positive Overload Recovery Time RL = 10 kΩ TA = +25°C –SWING 225 VS = ±5V TA = +25°C RL = 10 kΩ PHASE (deg) Supply Current vs. ± Supply Voltage OUTPUT = 2 V/DIV INPUT 0V 0V 3.4 2.6 OUTPUT = 2 V/DIV 1.8 GAIN = –20 1.0 100 3-272 1k 10k 100k LOAD RESISTANCE (Ω) 1M HORIZONTAL SCALE = 20 msec/DIV INPUT INPUT GAIN = –20 HORIZONTAL SCALE = 20 msec/DIV TELCOM SEMICONDUCTOR, INC.
