The LT®1637 is a rugged op amp that operates on all single
and split supplies with a total voltage of 2.7V to 44V. The
LT1637 has a gain-bandwidth product of 1.1MHz while

drawing less than 250µA of quiescent current. The LT1637

can be shut down, making the output high impedance and

reducing the quiescent current to only 3µA. The LT1637 is

reverse supply protected: it draws virtually no current for
reverse supply up to 25V. The input range of the LT1637
includes both supplies and the output swings to both
supplies. Unlike most micropower op amps, the LT1637
can drive heavy loads; its rail-to-rail output drives 25mA.
The LT1637 is unity-gain stable into all capacitive loads up

to 4700pF when optional 0.22µF and 150Ω compensation

is used.

The LT1637 has a unique input stage that operates and
remains high impedance when above the positive supply.
The inputs take 44V both differential and common mode,
even when operating on a 3V supply. Built-in resistors
protect the inputs for faults below the negative supply up
to 22V. There is no phase reversal of the output for inputs
5V below VEE or 44V above VEE, independent of VCC.

The LT1637 op amp is available in the 8-pin MSOP, PDIP
and SO packages.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO

Supply Voltage

The positive supply pin of the LT1637 should be bypassed

with a small capacitor (about 0.01µF) within an inch of the
pin. When driving heavy loads an additional 4.7µF electro-

lytic capacitor should be used. When using split supplies,
the same is true for the negative supply pin.

The LT1637 is protected against reverse battery voltages
up to 25V. In the event a reverse battery condition occurs,
the supply current is typically less than 1nA.

When operating the LT1637 on total supplies of 30V or

more, the supply must not be brought up faster than 1µs.

This is especially true if low ESR bypass capacitors are
used. A series RLC circuit is formed from the supply lead

inductance and the bypass capacitor. 5Ω of resistance in

the supply or the bypass capacitor will dampen the tuned
circuit enough to limit the rise time.

WUU

Inputs

The LT1637 has two input stages, NPN and PNP (see the
Simplified Schematic), resulting in three distinct operat­ing regions as shown in the Input Bias Current vs Common
Mode typical performance curve.

For input voltages about 0.9V or more below V+, the PNP
input stage is active and the input bias current is typically
–20nA. When the input voltage is about 0.5V or less from
V+, the NPN input stage is operating and the input bias
current is typically 80nA. Increases in temperature will
cause the voltage at which operation switches from the
PNP stage to the NPN stage to move towards V+. The input
offset voltage of the NPN stage is untrimmed and is

typically 600µV.

LT1637

U

WUU

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO

A Schottky diode in the collector of each NPN transistor of
the NPN input stage allows the LT1637 to operate with
either or both of its inputs above V+. At about 0.3V above
V+ the NPN input transistor is fully saturated and the input

bias current is typically 23µA at room temperature. The
input offset voltage is typically 600µV when operating

above V+. The LT1637 will operate with its input 44V above
V– regardless of V+.

The inputs are protected against excursions as much as
22V below V– by an internal 1.3k resistor in series with
each input and a diode from the input to the negative
supply. There is no output phase reversal for inputs up to
5V below V–. There are no clamping diodes between the
inputs and the maximum differential input voltage is 44V.

Output

The output voltage swing of the LT1637 is affected by
input overdrive as shown in the typical performance
curves. When monitoring input voltages within 100mV of
V+, gain should be taken to keep the output from clipping.

The output of the LT1637 can be pulled up to 25V beyond
V+ with less than 1nA of leakage current, provided that V
is less than 0.5V.

The normally reverse biased substrate diode from the
output to V– will cause unlimited currents to flow when the
output is forced below V–. If the current is transient and
limited to 100mA, no damage will occur.

The LT1637 is internally compensated to drive at least
200pF of capacitance under any output loading condi-

tions. A 0.22µF capacitor in series with a 150Ω resistor

between the output and ground will compensate these
amplifiers for larger capacitive loads, up to 4700pF, at all
output currents.

+

Lower load resistance increases the output crossover
distortion, but has no effect on the input stage transition
distortion. For lowest distortion the LT1637 should be
operated single supply, with the output always sourcing
current and with the input voltage swing between ground
and (V+ – 0.9V). See the Typical Performance Character­istics curves.

Gain

The open-loop gain is less sensitive to load resistance
when the output is sourcing current. This optimizes per­formance in single supply applications where the load is
returned to ground. The typical performance photo of
Open-Loop Gain for various loads shows the details.

Shutdown

The LT1637 can be shut down two ways: using the
shutdown pin or bringing V+ to within 0.5V of V–. When V

+

is brought to within 0.5V of V– both the supply current and
output leakage current drop to less than 10nA. When the
shutdown pin is brought 1.2V above V–, the supply

current drops to about 3µA and the output leakage current
is less than 1µA, independent of V

+

. In either case the input
bias current is less than 0.1nA (even if the inputs are 44V
above the negative supply).

The shutdown pin can be taken up to 32V above V–. The
shutdown pin can be driven below V–, however the pin
current through the substrate diode should be limited with
an external resistor to less than 10mA.

Input Offset Nulling

The input offset voltage can be nulled by placing a 10k
potentiometer between Pins 1 and 8 with its wiper to V

–

(see Figure 1). The null range will be at least ±3mV.

Distortion

There are two main contributors of distortion in op amps:
output crossover distortion as the output transitions from
sourcing to sinking current and distortion caused by
nonlinear common mode rejection. Of course, if the op
amp is operating inverting there is no common mode
induced distortion. When the LT1637 switches between
input stages there is significant nonlinearity in the CMRR.
