GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP297 is the first dual op amp to pack precision performance into the space-saving, industry standard 8-pin SO package. Its combination of precision with low power and extremely
low input bias current makes the dual OP297 useful in a wide
variety of applications.
Precision performance of the OP297 includes very low offset,
under 50 µV, and low drift, below 0.6 µV/°C. Open-loop gain
exceeds 2000 V/mV insuring high linearity in every application.

Errors due to common-mode signals are eliminated by the
OP297’s common-mode rejection of over 120 dB. The
OP297’s power supply rejection of over 120 dB minimizes
offset voltage changes experienced in battery powered systems.
Supply current of the OP297 is under 625 µA per amplifier and
it can operate with supply voltages as low as ±2 V.
The OP297 utilizes 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 OP 297 is under 100 pA
at 25°C and is under 450 pA over the military temperature
range.
Combining precision, low power and low bias current, the
OP297 is ideal for a number of applications including instrumentation amplifiers, log amplifiers, photodiode preamplifiers
and long-term integrators. For a single device, see the OP97;
for a quad, see the OP497.

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 OP297 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
Extremely low bias current over the full military 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
not necessary with the OP297 Offset voltage and TCV
OS
are
degraded only minimally by high source resistance, even when
unbalanced.
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 may vary over the full range of the supply voltages used.
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
one volt of either rail. The output typically swings to within one
volt of the rails when using a 10 kΩ load.

The OP297’S AC characteristics are highly stable over its full

shown in Figure 25. Extremely tolerant of capacitive loading on

GUARDING AND SHIELDING
To maintain the extremely high input impedances of the

a humidity barrier. Even a clean PC board can have 100 pA of
leakage currents between adjacent traces, so guard rings should
be used around the inputs. Guard traces are operated at a voltage close to that on the inputs, as shown in Figure 28, so that
leakage currents become minimal. 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 on both sides of the circuit board.
OPEN-LOOP GAIN LINEARITY
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 29 illustrates the typical
open-loop gain linearity of the OP297 over the military temperature range.

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 squareroot circuits shown in Figures 34 and 35. Using the squaring
circuit of Figure 34 as an example, the analysis begins by writing

To maintain accuracy, the negative supply should be well regulated. For applications where very high accuracy is required, a
voltage reference may be used to set I
eration 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 I
and R2 can be varied to keep the output voltage within the
usable range.
Unadjusted accuracy of the square-root circuit is better than
0.1% over an input voltage range of 100 mV to 10 V. For a
similar input voltage range, the accuracy of the squaring circuit
is better than 0.5%.

OP297 SPICE MACRO-MODEL
Figures 36 and 37 show the node end net list for a SPICE
macro model of the OP297. The model is a simplified version of
the actual device and simulates important dc parameters such as
, IOS, IB, AVO, CMR, VO and ISY. AC parameters such as
V
OS
slew rate, gain and phase response and CMR change with frequency are also simulated by the model.
The model uses typical parameters for the OP297. The poles
and zeros in the model were determined from the actual open
and closed-loop gain and phase response of the OP297. In this
way, the model presents an accurate ac representation of the
actual device. The model assumes an ambient temperature
