GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OP97 is a low power alternative to the industry-standard
OP07 precision amplifier. The OP97 maintains the standards of
performance set by the OP07 while utilizing only 600 µA supply
current, less than 1/6 that of an OP07. Offset voltage is an
ultralow 25 µV, and drift over temperature is below 0.6 µV/°C.
External offset trimming is not required in the majority of circuits.
Improvements have been made over OP07 specifications in
several areas. Notable is bias current, which remains below
250 pA over the full military temperature range. The OP97 is
ideal for use in precision long-term integrators or sample-andhold circuits that must operate at elevated temperatures.
Common-mode rejection and power supply rejection are also
improved with the OP97, at 114 dB minimum over wider
ranges of common-mode or supply voltage. Outstanding
PSR, a supply range specified from ±2.25 V to ±20 V and the
OP97’s minimal power requirements combine to make the
OP97 a preferred device for portable and battery-powered
instruments.
The OP97 conforms to the OP07 pinout, with the null potentiometer connected between Pins 1 and 8 with the wiper to V+.
The OP97 will upgrade circuit designs using 725, OP05, OP07,
OP12, and 1012 type amplifiers. It may replace 741-type amplifiers in circuits without nulling or where the nulling circuitry has
been removed.

For supply voltages less than ± 20 V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal
to the supply voltage.

The OP97’s inputs are protected by back-to-back diodes. Current-limiting resis-
tors are not used in order to achieve low noise. Differential input voltages greater
than 1 V will cause excessive current to flow through the input protection diodes
unless limiting resistance is used.

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 OP97 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.

OP97
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The OP97 is a low power alternative to the industry standard
precision op amp, the OP07. The OP97 may be substituted
directly into OP07, OP77, 725, 112/312, and 1012 sockets with
improved performance and/or less power dissipation, and may
be inserted into sockets conforming to the 741 pinout if nulling
circuitry is not used. Generally, nulling circuitry used with earlier
generation amplifiers is rendered superfluous by the OP97’s
extremely low offset voltage, and may be removed without compromising circuit performance.
Extremely low bias current over the full military temperature
range makes the OP97 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 OP97. Offset voltage and TCV
OS
are
degraded only minimally by high source resistance, even when
unbalanced.
The input pins of the OP97 are protected against large differential voltage by back-to-back diodes. Current-limiting resistors
are not used so that low noise performance is maintained. If
differential voltages above ±1 V are expected at the inputs,
series resistors must be used to limit the current flow to a
maximum of 10 mA. Common-mode voltages at the inputs are
not restricted, and may vary over the full range of the supply
voltages used.
The OP97 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.
Offset nulling is achieved utilizing the same circuitry as an
OP07. A potentiometer between 5 kΩ and 100 kΩ is connected
between pins 1 and 8 with the wiper connected to the positive
supply. The trim range is between 300 µV and 850 µV, depend-
ing upon the internal trimming of the device.
AC PERFORMANCE
The OP97’s ac characteristics are highly stable over its full
operating temperature range. Unity-gain small-signal response
is shown in Figure 2. Extremely tolerant of capacitive loading
on the output, the OP97 displays excellent response even with
1000 pF loads (Figure 3). In large-signal applications, the
input protection diodes effectively short the input to the output
during the transients if the amplifier is connected in the usual
unity-gain configuration. The output enters short-circuit current
limit, with the flow going through the protection diodes. Improved
large-signal transient response is obtained by using a feedback
resistor between the output and the inverting input. Figure 4
shows the large-signal response of the OP97 in unity gain with a
10 kΩ feedback resistor. The unity gain follower circuit is shown
in Figure 5.
The overcompensation pin may be used to increase the phase
margin of the OP97, or to decrease gain-bandwidth product at
gains greater than 10.

GUARDING AND SHIELDING
To maintain the extremely high input impedances of the OP97,
care must be taken in circuit board layout and manufacturing.
Board surfaces must be kept scrupulously clean and free of moisture.
Conformal coating is recommended to provide a humidity barrier.
Even a clean PC board can have 100 pA of leakage currents between
adjacent traces, so that guard rings should be used around the
inputs. Guard traces are operated at a voltage close to that on the
inputs, so that leakage currents become minimal. In noninverting applications, the guard ring should be connected to the
common-mode voltage at the inverting input (Pin 2). In inverting
applications, both inputs remain at ground, so that the guard trace
should be grounded. Guard traces should be made on both sides
of the circuit board.

Figure 8. Current Monitor
High impedance circuitry is extremely susceptible to RF pickup,
line frequency hum, and radiated noise from switching power
supplies. Enclosing sensitive analog sections within grounded
shields is generally necessary to prevent excessive noise pickup.
Twisted-pair cable will aid in rejection of line frequency hum.
The OP97 is an excellent choice as an output amplifier for higher
resolution CMOS DACs. Its tightly trimmed offset voltage and
minimal bias current result in virtually no degradation of linearity, even over wide temperature ranges.
Figure 8 shows a versatile monitor circuit that can typically
sense current at any point between the ±15 V supplies. This
makes it ideal for sensing current in applications such as full
bridge drivers where bidirectional current is associated with large
common-mode voltage changes. The 114 dB CMRR of the OP97
makes the amplifier’s contribution to common-mode error
negligible, leaving only the error due to the resistor ratio
inequality. Ideally, R2/R4 = R3/R5. This is best trimmed via R4

has 12-bit gain resolution with 10-bit gain linearity over the
range of –1 to –1024. The low bias current of the OP97 maintains this linearity, while C1 limits the noise voltage bandwidth
allowing accurate measurement down to microvolt levels.
Many high-speed amplifiers suffer from less-than-perfect lowfrequency performance. A combination amplifier consisting of a
high precision, slow device like the OP97 and a faster device
such as the OP44 results in uniformly accurate performance
from dc to the high frequency limit of the OP44, which has a
gain-bandwidth product of 23 MHz. The circuit shown in Figure 11
accomplishes this, with the OP44 providing high frequency
amplification and the OP97 operating on low frequency signals
and providing offset correction. Offset voltage and drift of the
circuit are controlled by the OP97.
