GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP177 features the highest precision performance of any
op amp currently available. Offset voltage of the OP177 is only
25 µV max at room temperature. The ultralow V
OP177 combines with its exceptional offset voltage drift
(TCV
V
) of 0.1 µV/°C max to eliminate the need for external
OS
adjustment and increases system accuracy over
OS
temperature.
The OP177’s open-loop gain of 12 V/µV is maintained over the
full ±10 V output range. CMRR of 130 dB min, PSRR of
120 dB min, and maximum supply current of 2 mA are just a
few examples of the excellent performance of this operational
amplifier. The OP177’s combination of outstanding specifications
ensures accurate performance in high closed-loop gain applications.

This low noise bipolar input op amp is also a cost effective
alternative to chopper-stabilized amplifiers. The OP177 provides
chopper-type performance without the usual problems of high
noise, low frequency chopper spikes, large physical size, limited
common-mode input voltage range, and bulky external storage
capacitors.
The OP177 is offered in the –40°C to +85°C extended
industrial temperature ranges. This product is available in
8-pin epoxy DIPs, as well as the space saving 8-pin SmallOutline (SO).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Gain Linearity
The actual open-loop gain of most monolithic op amps varies at
different output voltages. This nonlinearity causes errors in
high closed-loop gain circuits.
It is important to know that the manufacturer’s A
specifi-
VO
cation is only a part of the solution, since all automated testers
use endpoint testing and, therefore, show only the average gain.
For example, Figure 5 shows a typical precision op amp with a
respectable open-loop gain of 650 V/mV. However, the gain is
not constant through the output voltage range, causing
nonlinear errors. An ideal op amp would show a horizontal
scope trace.

THERMOCOUPLE AMPLIFIER WITH COLD-JUNCTION
COMPENSATION
An example of a precision circuit is a thermocouple amplifier
that must amplify very low level signals accurately without
introducing linearity and offset errors to the circuit. In this
circuit, an S-type thermocouple, which has a Seebeck coefficient of 10.3 µV/°C, produces 10.3 mV of output voltage at
a temperature of 1000°C. The amplifier gain is set at 973.16.
Thus, it will produce an output voltage of 10.024 V. Extended
temperature ranges to beyond 1500°C can be accomplished by
reducing the amplifier gain. The circuit uses a low-cost diode to
sense the temperature at the terminating junctions and, in turn,
compensates for any ambient temperature change. The OP177,
with its high open-loop gain, plus low offset voltage and drift
combines to yield a very precision temperature sensing circuit.
Circuit values for other thermocouple types are shown in Table I.
Figure 6 shows the OP177’s output gain linearity trace with its
truly impressive average A
of 12000 V/mV. The output trace
VO
is virtually horizontal at all points, assuring extremely high gain
accuracy. ADI also performs additional testing to ensure
consistent high open-loop gain at various output voltages.
Figure 7 is a simple open-loop gain test circuit for your own
evaluation.

PRECISION HIGH GAIN DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER
The high gain, gain linearity, CMRR, and low TCVOS of the
OP177 make it possible to obtain performance not previously
available in single stage, very high gain amplifier applications.

ISOLATING LARGE CAPACITIVE LOADS
The circuit in Figure 10 reduces maximum slew rate but allows
driving capacitive loads of any size without instability. Because
the 100 Ω resistor is inside the feedback loop, its effect on
output impedance is reduced to insignificance by the high openloop gain of the OP177.

PRECISION ABSOLUTE VALUE AMPLIFIER
The high gain and low TCVOS assure accurate operation with
inputs from microvolts to volts. In this circuit, the signal always
appears as a common-mode signal to the op amps. See Figure 12.
