GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP290 is a high performance micropower dual op amp that
operates from a single supply of 1.6 V to 36 V or from dual
supplies of ±0.8 V to ±18 V. Input voltage range includes the
negative rail allowing the OP290 to accommodate input signals
down to ground in single-supply operation. The OP290’s output swing also includes ground when operating from a single
supply, enabling “zero-in, zero-out” operation.
The OP290 draws less than 20 µA of quiescent supply current
per amplifier, while able to deliver over 5 mA of output current
to a load. Input offset voltage is below 200 µV eliminating the
need for external nulling. Gain exceeds 700,000 and common-mode
rejection is better than 100 dB. The power supply rejection ratio
of under 5.6 pV/V minimizes offset voltage changes experienced
in battery-powered systems. The low offset voltage and high gain
offered by the OP290 bring precision performance to micropower
applications. The minimal voltage and current requirements
of the OP290 suit it for battery- and solar-powered applications,
such as portable instruments, remote sensors, and satellites. For
a single op amp, see the OP90; for a quad, see the OP490.

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 OP290 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
BATTERY-POWERED APPLICATIONS
The OP290 can be operated on a minimum supply voltage of
1.6 V, or with dual supplies of 0.8 V, and draws only 19 pA of
supply current. In many battery-powered circuits, the OP290
can be continuously operated for thousands of hours before
requiring battery replacement, reducing equipment downtime
and operating cost.
High-performance portable equipment and instruments frequently use lithium cells because of their long shelf-life, light
weight, and high energy density relative to older primary cells.
Most lithium cells have a nominal output voltage of 3 V and are
noted for a flat discharge characteristic. The low supply voltage
requirement of the OP290, combined with the flat discharge
characteristic of the lithium cell, indicates that the OP290 can
be operated over the entire useful life of the cell. Figure 1 shows
the typical discharge characteristic of a 1 Ah lithium cell powering an OP290 with each amplifier, in turn, driving full output
swing into a 100 kΩ load.
INPUT VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The OP290 uses a PNP input stage with protection resistors in
series with the inverting and noninverting inputs. The high
breakdown of the PNP transistors coupled with the protection
resistors provide a large amount of input protection, allowing
the inputs to be taken 20 V beyond either supply without damaging the amplifier.
SINGLE-SUPPLY OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
In single-supply operation the OP290’s input and output ranges
include ground. This allows true “zero-in, zero-out” operation.
The output stage provides an active pull-down to around 0.8 V
above ground. Below this level, a load resistance of up to 1 MS2
to ground is required to pull the output down to zero.
In the region from ground to 0.8 V, the OP290 has voltage gain
equal to the data sheet specification. Output current source capability is maintained over the entire voltage range including ground.
APPLICATIONS
TEMPERATURE TO 4–20 mA TRANSMITTER
A simple temperature to 4–20 mA transmitter is shown in Figure 5.
After calibration, the transmitter is accurate to +0.5°C over the
–50°C to +150°C temperature range. The transmitter operates
from 8 V to 40 V with supply rejection better than 3 ppm/V.
One half of the OP290 is used to buffer the V
pins while
TEMP
the other half regulates the output current to satisfy the current
summation at its noninverting input.

From the formulas, it can be seen that if the span trim is adjusted
before the zero trim, the two trims are not interactive, which
greatly simplifies the calibration procedure.
Calibration of the transmitter is simple. First, the slope of the
output current versus temperature is calibrated by adjusting the
span trim, R7. A couple of iterations may be required to be sure
the slope is correct.
Once the span trim has been completed, the zero trim can be made.
Remember that adjusting the offset trim will not affect the gain.
The offset trim can be set at any known temperature by adjusting

until the output current equals:

VARIABLE SLEW RATE FILTER
The circuit shown in Figure 6 can be used to remove pulse noise
from an input signal without limiting the response rate to a genuine signal. The nonlinear filter has use in applications where
the input signal of interest is known to have physical limitations.
An example of this is a transducer output where a change of
temperature or pressure cannot exceed a certain rate due to
physical limitations of the environment. The filter consists of a
comparator which drives an integrator. The comparator compares the input voltage to the output voltage and forces the
integrator output to equal the input voltage. A1 acts as a comparator with its output high or low. Diodes D1 and D2 clamp
the voltage across R3 forcing a constant current to flow in or
out of C2. R3, C2, and A2 form an integrator with A2’s output
slewing at a maximum rate of:

For an input voltage slewing at a rate under this maximum slew
rate, the output simply follows the input with A1 operating in its
linear region.

LOW OVERHEAD VOLTAGE REFERENCE
Figure 7 shows a voltage reference that requires only 0.1 V of
overhead voltage. As shown, the reference provides a stable
4.5 V output with a 4.6 V to 36 V supply. Output voltage drift is
only 12 ppm/°C. Line regulation of the reference is under 5 HV/V
with load regulation better than 10 µV/mA with up to 50 mA of
output current.
The REF-43 provides a stable 2.5 V which is multiplied by the
OP290. The PNP output transistor enables the output voltage
to approach the supply voltage.
Resistors R1 and R2 determine the output voltage.
The 200 Ω variable resistor is used to trim the output voltage.
For the lowest temperature drift, parallel resistors can be used in
place of the variable resistor and taken out of the circuit as required
to adjust the output voltage.
