GENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe OP227 is the first dual amplifier to offer a combination oflow offset, low noise, high speed, and guaranteed amplifier matchingcharacteristics in one device. The OP227, with a VOS match of25 mV typical, a TCVOS match of 0.3 mV/∞C typical and a 1/f cornerof only 2.7 Hz is an excellent choice for precision low noise designs.These dc characteristics, coupled with a slew rate of 2.8 V/mstypical and a small-signal bandwidth of 8 MHz typical, allow thedesigner to achieve ac performance previously unattainable withop amp based instrumentation designs.
When used in a three op amp instrumentation configuration, theOP227 can achieve a CMRR in excess of 100 dB at 10 kHz. Inaddition, this device has an open-loop gain of 1.5 M typical witha 1 kW load. The OP227 also features an IB of ± 10 nA typical,an IOS of 7 nA typical, and guaranteed matching of input currents

between amplifiers. These outstanding input current specificationsare realized through the use of a unique input current cancellationcircuit which typically holds IB and IOS to ± 20 nA and 15 nArespectively over the full military temperature range.
Other sources of input referred errors, such as PSRR and CMRR,are reduced by factors in excess of 120 dB for the individualamplifiers. DC stability is assured by a long-term drift applicationof 1.0 mV/month.
Matching between channels is provided on all critical param-eters including offset voltage, tracking of offset voltage versustemperature, noninverting bias current, CMRR, and powersupply rejection ratio. This unique dual amplifier allows theelimination of external components for offset nulling andfrequency compensation.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATIONNoise MeasurementsTo measure the 80 nV peak-to-peak noise specification of theOP227 in the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz range, the following precautionsmust be observed:
• The device must be warmed up for at least five minutes. Asshown in the warm-up drift curve, the offset voltage typicallychanges 4 mV due to increasing chip temperature after power-up.In the 10-second measurement interval, these temperature-induced effects can exceed tens-of-nanovolts.
∑ For similar reasons, the device must be well shielded from aircurrents. Shielding minimizes thermocouple effects.
∑ Sudden motion in the vicinity of the device can also “feed-through” to increase the observed noise.
∑ The test time to measure 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise should notexceed 10-seconds. As shown in the noise-tester frequency-response curve, the 0.1 Hz corner is defined by only one zeroto eliminate noise contributions from the frequency bandbelow 0.1 Hz.
∑ A noise-voltage-density test is recommended when measuringnoise on a large number of units. A 10 Hz noise-voltage-density measurement will correlate well with a 0.1 Hz to 10 Hzpeak-to-peak noise reading, since both results are determinedby the white noise and the location of the 1/f corner frequency.
Instrumentation Amplifier Applications of the OP227The excellent input characteristics of the OP227 make it idealfor use in instrumentation amplifier configurations where lowlevel differential signals are to be amplified. The low noise, lowinput offsets, low drift, and high gain, combined with excellentCMR provide the characteristics needed for high performanceinstrumentation amplifiers. In addition, CMR versus frequencyis very good due to the wide gain bandwidth of these op amps.
The circuit of Figure 2 is recommended for applications wherethe common-mode input range is relatively low and differentialgain will be in the range of 10 to 1000. This two op ampinstrumentation amplifier features independent adjustment ofcommon-mode rejection and differential gain. Input imped-ance is very high since both inputs are applied to non-invertingop amp inputs.

If the instrumentation amplifier was designed for a gain of 10and maximum Vd of ± 1 V, then RN/RO would need to be fourand VO would be a maximum of ± 10 V. Amplifier A1 would havea maximum output of ± 5 V plus 2 VCM, thus a limit of ± 10 Von the output of A1 would imply a limit of ± 2.5 V on VCM. Anominal value of 10 kW for RN is suitable for most applications.A range of 20 W to 2.5 kW for RO will then provide a gain rangeof 10 to 1000. The current through RO is Vd/RO, so the amplifiersmust supply ± 10 mV/20 W (or ± 0.5 mA) when the gain is at themaximum value of 1000 and Vd is at ± 10 mV.
Rejecting common-mode inputs is important in accuratelyamplifying low level differential signals. Two factors determinethe CMR in this instrumentation amplifier configuration (assuminginfinite gain):
∑ CMR of the op amps
∑ Matching of the resistor network ratios (R3/R4 = R2/R1)
In this instrumentation amplifier configuration error due to CMReffect is directly proportional to the CMR match of the op amps.For the OP227, this DCMR is a minimum of 97 dB for the “G”and 110 dB for the “E” grades. A DCMR value of 100 dB and acommon-mode input range of ± 2.5 V indicates a peak input-referred error of only ± 25 mV. Resistor matching is the otherfactor affecting CMR. Defining Ad as the differential gain of theinstrumentation amplifier and assuming that R1, R2, R3, and R4are approximately equal (RN will be the nominal value), then CMRfor this instrumentation amplifier configuration will be approxi-mately Ad divided by 4�R/RN. CMR at differential gain of 100would be 88 dB with resistor matching of 0.01%. Trimming R1to make the ratio R3/R4 equal to R2/R1 will raise the CMRuntil limited by linearity and resistor stability considerations.
The high open-loop gain of the OP227 is very important toachieving high accuracy in the two op amp instrumentationamplifier configuration. Gain error can be approximated by:

where Ad is the instrumentation amplifier differential gain andAO2 is the open loop gain of op amp A2. This analysis assumesequal values of R1, R2, R3, and R4. For example, consider anOP227 with AO2 of 700 V/mV. Id the differential gain Ad wereset to 700, then the gain error would be 1/1.001, which isapproximately 0.1%.
Another effect of finite op amp gain is undesired feedthrough ofcommon-mode input. Defining AO1 as the open-loop gain of opamp A1, then the common-mode error (CME) at the outputdue to this effect would be approximately:
CMEAAA

For Ad/A01 < 1, this simplifies to (2Ad/A01) 3 VCM. If the op ampgain is 700 V/mV, VCM is 2.5 V, and Ad is set to 700, then theerror at the output due to this effect will be approximately 5 mV.
A compete instrumentation amplifier designed for a gain of 100is shown in Figure 3. It has provision for trimming of inputoffset voltage, CMR, and gain. Performance is excellent due tothe high gain, high CMR, and low noise of the individual ampli-fiers combined with the tight matching characteristics of theOP227 dual.

Figure 3. Two Op Amp Instrumentation Amplifier UsingOP227 Dual
A three op amp instrumentation amplifier configuration usingthe OP227 and OP27 is recommended for applications requir-ing high accuracy over a wide gain range. This circuit providesexcellent CMR over a wide frequency range. As with the two opamp instrumentation amplifier circuits, the tight matching of thetwo op amps within the OP227 package provides a real boost inperformance. Also, the low noise, low offset, and high gain ofthe individual op amps minimize errors.
A simplified schematic is shown in Figure 4. The input stage(A1 and A2) serves to amplify the differential input Vd withoutamplifying the common-mode voltage VCM. The output stagethen rejects the common-mode input. With ideal op amps andno resistor matching errors, the outputs of each amplifier willbe:

The differential gain Ad is 1 + 2R1/R0 and the common-modeinput VCM is rejected.
While output error due to input offsets and noise are easilydetermined, the effects of finite gain and common-mode rejec-tion are more subtle. CMR of the complete instrumentationamplifier is directly proportioned to the match in CMR of theinput op amps. This match varies from 97 dB to 110 dB mini-mum for the OP227. Using 100 dB, then the output response toa common-mode input VCM would be:
V A VO
CMd CM[ ] = ¥ 10 5–
CMRR of the instrumentation amplifier, which is defined as20 log10Ad/ACM, is simply equal to the �CMRR of the OP227.While this �CMRR is already high, overall CMRR of thecomplete amplifier can be raised by trimming the output stageresistor network.
Finite gain of the input op amps causes a scale factor error and asmall degradation in CMR. Designating the open-loop gain ofop amp A1 as AO1, and op amp A2 as AO2, then the followingequation approximates output:

The unity-gain output stage contributes negligible error to theoverall amplifier. However, matching of the four resistor R2network is critical to achieving high CMR. Consider a worst-case situation where each R2 resistor had an error of ± �R2. Ifthe resistor ratio is high on one side and low on the other, thenthe common-mode gain will be 2�R2/2�R2. Since the outputstage gain is unity, CMRR will then be R2/2�R2. It is commonpractice to maximize overall CMRR for the total instrumenta-tion amplifier circuit.

Figure 5. High Speed Precision Rectifier
High Speed Precision RectifierThe low offsets and excellent load driving capability of the OP27are key advantages in this precision rectifier circuit. The summingimpedances can be as low as 1 kW which helps to reduce theeffects of stray capacitance.
For positive inputs, D2 conducts and D1 is biased OFF. Ampli-fiers A1 and A2 act as a follower with output-to-output feedbackand the R1 resistors are not critical. For negative inputs, D1conducts and D2 is biased OFF. A1 acts as a follower and A2serves as a precision inverter. In this mode, matching of the twoR1 resistors is critical to gain accuracy.
Typical component values are 30 pF for C1 and 2 kW for R3.The drop across D1 must be less than the drop across the FETdiode D2. A 1N914 for D1 and a 2N4393 for the JFET wereused successfully.
The circuit provides full-wave rectification for inputs of up to± 10 V and up to 20 kHz in frequency. To assure frequency stability,be sure to decouple the power supply inputs and minimize anycapactive loading. An OP227, which is two OP27 amplifiers in asingle package, can be used to improve packaging density.
