The MXL1001 offers significant specification improvement
over earlier precision operational amplifiers and is pincompatible with the industry-standard LT1001. Particular
attention has been paid to the optimization of key parameters such as input offset voltage, common-mode rejection,
and power-supply rejection. In addition, the high-performance MXL1001C commercial temperature device provides considerable cost savings when compared to
equivalent grades of competing precision amplifiers.
The input offset voltage of all units is less than 60µV,
allowing the premium military device, the MXL1001AM, to
be specified at 15µV max. Power dissipation is close to
half that of the industry-standard OP-07 precision op
amp, without sacrificing noise or speed performance. A
useful by-product of lower dissipation is decreased
warm-up drift.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The MXL1001 series devices are pin-compatible with the
OP-07, OP-05, 725, 108A or 101A amplifiers. The
MXL1001 amplifiers can be used to upgrade older
designs using these devices, with or without removal of
external frequency compensation or nulling components.
The MXL1001 can also be used in 741, LF156 or OP-15
applications provided the nulling circuitry is removed.
MXL1001
The MXL1001 is specified over a wide supply voltage
range from ±3V to ±18V. Operation with lower supplies
is possible down to ±1.2V (two NiCd batteries), however, at this level the device is stable only in closed-loop
gains of +2 and above (or inverting gain of one or higher). Unless proper care is exercised, thermocouple
effects caused by temperature gradients across dissimilar metals at the input terminal connections, can exceed
the inherent offset-voltage drift of the amplifier. Air currents over the device leads should be minimized, package leads should be short, and the two input leads
should be as close together as possible and maintained
at the same temperature.
Offset-Voltage Adjustment
The input offset voltage of the MXL1001, and its temperature drift, are minimized by zener-zap trimming at the
wafer level. If further nulling of VOSis required, this can
be performed using a 10kΩ or 20kΩ potentiometer with
no degradation of VOSdrift with temperature. Trimming
to a value other than zero creates a drift of
(VOS/300)µV/°C; i.e., if VOSis adjusted to 300µV, the
change in drift will be 1µV/°C. The adjustment range
with a 10kΩ or 20kΩ potentiometer is approximately
±2.5mV. If less adjustment range is needed, the sensitivity and resolution of the offset nulling can be improved
by using a potentiometer of lower ohmic value in conjunction with fixed resistors.
