Low Noise, Precision
Instrumentation Amplifier
AMP01
Input offset voltage is very low (20 μV), which generally
eliminates the external null potentiometer. Temperature changes
have minimal effect on offset; TCV
IOS
is typically 0.15 μV/°C.
Excellent low frequency noise performance is achieved with a
minimal compromise on input protection. The bias current is
very low, less than 10 nA over the military temperature range.
High common-mode rejection of 130 dB, 16-bit linearity at a
gain of 1000, and 50 mA peak output current are achievable
simultaneously. This combination takes the instrumentation
amplifier one step further towards the ideal amplifier.
AC performance complements the superb dc specifications. The
AMP01
slews at 4.5 V/μs into capacitive loads of up to 15 nF, settles
in 50 μs to 0.01% at a gain of 1000, and boasts a healthy 26 MHz
gain bandwidth product. These features make the
AMP01
ideal
for high speed data acquisition systems.
The gain is set by the ratio of two external resistors over a range of
0.1 to 10,000. A very low gain temperature coefficient of 10 ppm/°C
is achievable over the whole gain range. Output voltage swing is
guaranteed with three load resistances: 50 Ω, 500 Ω, and 2 kΩ.
Loaded with 500 Ω, the output delivers ±13.0 V minimum. A
thermal shutdown circuit prevents destruction of the output
transistors during overload conditions.
The
AMP01
can also be configured as a high performance
operational amplifier. In many applications, the
AMP01
can be
used in place of op amp/power buffer combinations.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
AMP01
1
is a monolithic instrumentation amplifier
designed for high-precision data acquisition and instrumen-
tation applications. The design combines the conventional
features of an instrumentation amplifier with a high current
output stage. The output remains stable with high capacitance
loads (1 μF), a unique ability for an instrumentation amplifier.
Consequently, the
AMP01
can amplify low level signals for
transmission through long cables without requiring an output
buffer. The output stage can be configured as a voltage or
current generator.
