The OPA277 series precision op amps replace the industry
standard OP-177. They offer improved noise, wider output
voltage swing, and are twice as fast with half the quiescent
current. Features include ultra low offset voltage and drift, low
bias current, high common-mode rejection, and high power
supply rejection. Single, dual, and quad versions have identical
specifications for maximum design flexibility.
OPA277 series op amps operate from ±2V to ±18V supplies
with excellent performance. Unlike most op amps which
are specified at only one supply voltage, the OPA277 series
is specified for real-world applications; a single limit applies over the ±5V to ±15V supply range.
High performance
is maintained as the amplifiers swing to their specified limits.
APPLICATIONS
● TRANSDUCER AMPLIFIER
● BRIDGE AMPLIFIER
● TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENTS
● STRAIN GAGE AMPLIFIER
● PRECISION INTEGRATOR
● BATTERY POWERED INSTRUMENTS
● TEST EQUIPMENT
Because the initial offset voltage (±20µV max) is so low, user
adjustment is usually not required. However, the single version
(OPA277) provides external trim pins for special applications.
OPA277 op amps are easy to use and free from phase inversion
and overload problems found in some other op amps. They are
stable in unity gain and provide excellent dynamic behavior
over a wide range of load conditions. Dual and quad versions
feature completely independent circuitry for lowest crosstalk
and freedom from interaction, even when overdriven or overloaded.
Single (OPA277) and dual (OPA2277) versions are available

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The OPA277 series is unity-gain stable and free from unexpected output phase reversal, making it easy to use in a wide
range of applications. Applications with noisy or high impedance power supplies may require decoupling capacitors
close to the device pins. In most cases 0.1µF capacitors are
adequate.
The OPA277 series has very low offset voltage and drift. To
achieve highest performance, circuit layout and mechanical
conditions should be optimized. Offset voltage and drift can
be degraded by small thermoelectric potentials at the op amp
inputs. Connections of dissimilar metals will generate thermal potential which can degrade the ultimate performance of
the OPA277 series. These thermal potentials can be made to
cancel by assuring that they are equal in both input terminals.
• Keep thermal mass of the connections made to the two
input terminals similar.
• Locate heat sources as far as possible from the critical
input circuitry.
• Shield op amp and input circuitry from air currents such as
cooling fans.
OPERATING VOLTAGE
OPA277 series op amp operate from ±2V to ±18V supplies
with excellent performance. Unlike most op amps which are
specified at only one supply voltage, the OPA277 series is
specified for real-world applications; a single limit applies
over the ±5V to ±15V supply range. This allows a customer
operating at VS = ±10V to have the same assured performance as a customer using ±15V supplies. In addition, key
parameters are guaranteed over the specified temperature
range, –40°C to +85°C. Most behavior remains unchanged
through the full operating voltage range (±2V to ±18V).
Parameters which vary significantly with operating voltage
or temperature are shown in typical performance curves.
OFFSET VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The OPA277 series is laser-trimmed for very low offset
voltage and drift so most circuits will not require external
adjustment. However, offset voltage trim connections are
provided on pins 1 and 8. Offset voltage can be adjusted by
connecting a potentiometer as shown in Figure 1. This
adjustment should be used only to null the offset of the op
amp. This adjustment should not be used to compensate for
offsets created elsewhere in a system since this can introduce additional temperature drift.

FIGURE 1. OPA277 Offset Voltage Trim Circuit.
INPUT PROTECTION
The inputs of the OPA277 series are protected with 1kΩ
series input resistors and diode clamps. The inputs can
withstand ±30V differential inputs without damage. The
protection diodes will, of course, conduct current when the
inputs are over-driven. This may disturb the slewing behavior of unity-gain follower applications, but will not damage
the op amp.
INPUT BIAS CURRENT CANCELLATION
The input stage base current of the OPA277 series is internally compensated with an equal and opposite cancellation
circuit. The resulting input bias current is the difference
between the input stage base current and the cancellation
current. This residual input bias current can be positive or
negative.
When the bias current is canceled in this manner, the input
bias current and input offset current are approximately the
same magnitude. As a result, it is not necessary to use a bias
current cancellation resistor as is often done with other op
amps (Figure 2). A resistor added to cancel input bias
current errors may actually increase offset voltage and noise.
