DESCRIPTIO
The LT®1996 combines a precision operational amplifier with eight precision resistors to form a one-chip solution for accurately amplifying voltages. Gains from –117 to 118 with a gain accuracy of 0.05% can be achieved without any external components. The device is particularly well suited for use as a difference amplifier, where the excellent resistor matching results in a common mode rejection ratio of greater than 80dB.
The amplifier features a 50µV maximum input offset voltage and a gain bandwidth product of 560kHz. The device operates from any supply voltage from 2.7V to 36V and draws only 100µA supply current on a 5V supply. The output swings to within 40mV of either supply rail.
The internal resistors have excellent matching character­istics; variation is 0.05% over temperature with a guaran­teed matching temperature coefficent of less than 3ppm/°C. The resistors are also extremely stable over voltage, exhibiting a nonlinearity of less than 10ppm.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those beyond which the life of the device may be impaired.
Note 2: The P27/M27 and P81/M81 inputs are protected by ESD diodes to the supply rails. If one of these four inputs goes outside the rails, the input current should be limited to less than 10mA. The P9/M9 inputs can
4
withstand ±60V if P81/M81 are grounded and VS = ±15V (see Applications Information section about “High Voltage CM Difference Amplifiers”).
Note 3: A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature below absolute maximum ratings.

Note 4: Both the LT1996C and LT1996I are guaranteed functional over the –40°C to 85°C temperature range.
Note 5: The LT1996C is guaranteed to meet the specified performance from 0°C to 70°C and is designed, characterized and expected to meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or QA sampled at these temperatures. The LT1996I is guaranteed to meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 6: This parameter is not 100% tested. Note 7: Input voltage range is guaranteed by the CMRR test at V
= ±15V.
S
For the other voltages, this parameter is guaranteed by design and through correlation with the ±15V test. See the Applications Information section to
determine the valid input voltage range under various operating conditions.
Note 8: Offset voltage, offset voltage drift and PSRR are defined as referred to the internal op amp. You can calculate output offset as follows. In the case of balanced source resistance, V I
• 450k + IB • 450k • (1 – RP/RN) where RP and RN are the total
OS
resistance at the op amp positive and negative terminal respectively. Note 9: Resistors connected to the minus inputs. Resistor matching is not
tested directly, but is guaranteed by the gain error test. Note 10: Input impedance is tested by a combination of direct
measurements and correlation to the CMRR and gain error tests.

Introduction
The LT1996 may be the last op amp you ever have to stock. Because it provides you with several precision matched resistors, you can easily configure it into several different classical gain circuits without adding external compo­nents. The several pages of simple circuits in this data sheet demonstrate just how easy the LT1996 is to use. It can be configured into difference amplifiers, as well as into inverting and noninverting single ended amplifiers. The fact that the resistors and op amp are provided together in such a small package will often save you board space and reduce complexity for easy probing.
The Op Amp
The op amp internal to the LT1996 is a precision device with 15µV typical offset voltage and 3nA input bias cur- rent. The input offset current is extremely low, so match­ing the source resistance seen by the op amp inputs will provide for the best output accuracy. The op amp inputs are not rail-to-rail, but extend to within 1.2V of VCC and 1V

of VEE. For many configurations though, the chip inputs will function rail-to-rail because of effective attenuation to the +input. The output is truly rail-to-rail, getting to within 40mV of the supply rails. The gain bandwidth product of the op amp is about 560kHz. In noise gains of 2 or more, it is stable into capacitive loads up to 500pF. In noise gains below 2, it is stable into capacitive loads up to 100pF.
The Resistors
The resistors internal to the LT1996 are very well matched SiChrome based elements protected with barrier metal. Although their absolute tolerance is fairly poor (±30%), their matching is to within 0.05%. This allows the chip to achieve a CMRR of 80dB, and gain errors within 0.05%. The resistor values are (450k/9), (450k/27), (450k/81) and 450k, connected to each of the inputs. The resistors have power limitations of 1watt for the 450k and (450k/81) resistors, 0.3watt for the (450k/27) resistors and 0.5watt for the (450k/9) resistors; however, in practice, power dissipation will be limited well below these values by the

maximum voltage allowed on the input and REF pins. The 50k resistors connected to the M9 and P9 inputs are isolated from the substrate, and can therefore be taken beyond the supply voltages. The naming of the pins “P9,” “P27,” “P81,” etc., is based on their admittances relative to the feedback and REF admittances. Because it has 9 times the admittance, the voltage applied to the P9 input has 9 times the effect of the voltage applied to the REF input.
Bandwidth
The bandwidth of the LT1996 will depend on the gain you select (or more accurately the noise gain resulting from the gain you select). In the lowest configurable gain of 1, the –3dB bandwidth is limited to 450kHz, with peaking of about 2dB at 280kHz. In the highest configurable gains, bandwidth is limited to 5kHz.
Input Noise
The LT1996 input noise is comprised of the Johnson noise of the internal resistors (4kTR), and the input voltage noise of the op amp. Paralleling all four resistors to the +input gives a 3.8k resistance, for 8nV/Hz of voltage noise. The equivalent network on the –input gives another 8nV/Hz, and the op amp 14nV/Hz. Taking their RMS sum gives a total 18nV/Hz input referred noise floor. Output noise depends on configuration and noise gain.
Input Resistance
The LT1996 input resistances vary with configuration, but once configured are apparent on inspection. Note that resistors connected to the op amp’s –input are looking into a virtual ground, so they simply parallel. Any feedback resistance around the op amp does not contribute to input resistance. Resistors connected to the op amp’s +input are looking into a high impedance, so they add as parallel or series depending on how they are connected, and whether or not some of them are grounded. The op amp +input itself presents a very high G impedance. In the
classical noninverting op amp configuration, the LT1996 presents the high input impedance of the op amp, as is usual for the noninverting case.
Common Mode Input Voltage Range
The LT1996 valid common mode input range is limited by three factors:
1. Maximum allowed voltage on the pins
2. The input voltage range of the internal op amp
3. Valid output voltage
The maximum voltage allowed on the P27, M27, P81 and M81 inputs includes the positive and negative supply plus a diode drop. These pins should not be driven more than a diode drop outside of the supply rails. This is because they are connected through diodes to internal manufactur­ing post-package trim circuitry, and through a substrate diode to VEE. If more than 10mA is allowed to flow through these pins, there is a risk that the LT1996 will be detrimmed or damaged. The P9 and M9 inputs do not have clamp diodes or substrate diodes or trim circuitry and can be taken well outside the supply rails. The maximum allowed voltage on the P9 and M9 pins is ±60V.
The input voltage range of the internal op amp extends to within 1.2V of VCC and 1V of VEE. The voltage at which the op amp inputs common mode is determined by the voltage at the op amp’s +input, and this is determined by the voltages on pins P9, P27, P81 and REF. (See “Calcu­lating Input Voltage Range” section.) This is true provided that the op amp is functioning and feedback is maintaining the inputs at the same voltage, which brings us to the third requirement.
For valid circuit function, the op amp output must not be clipped. The output will clip if the input signals are attempt­ing to force it to within 40mV of its supply voltages. This usually happens due to too large a signal level, but it can also occur with zero input differential and must therefore be included as an example of a common mode problem.

These two voltages represent the high and low extremes of the common mode input range, if the other limits have not already been exceeded (1 and 3, above). In most cases, the inverting inputs M9 through M81 can be taken further than these two extremes because doing this does not move the op amp input common mode.

One of the benefits of the noninverting op amp configura­tion is that the input impedance is extremely high. The LT1996 maintains this benefit. Given the finite number of available feedback resistors in the LT1996, the number of gain configurations is also finite. The complete list of such Hi-Z input noninverting gain configurations is shown in Table 1. Many of these are also represented in Figure 5 in schematic form. Note that the P-side resistor inputs have been connected so as to match the source impedance seen by the internal op amp inputs. Note also that gain and noise gain are identical, for optimal precision.

Attenuation Using the P Input Resistors
Attenuation happens as a matter of fact in difference amplifier configurations, but it is also used for reducing peak signal level or improving input common mode range even in single ended systems. When signal conditioning indicates a need for attenuation, the LT1996 resistors are ready at hand. The four precision resistors can provide several attenuation levels, and these are tabulated in Table 2 as a design reference.

Figure 6. LT1996 Provides for Easy Attenuation to the Op Amp’s +Input. The P9 Input Can Be Taken Well Outside of the Supplies
Because the attenuations and the noninverting gains are set independently, they can be combined. This provides high gain resolution, about 700 unique gains between
0.0085 and 118, as plotted in Figure 7. This is too large a number to tabulate, but the designer can calculate achiev­able gain by taking the vector product of the gains and attenuations in Tables 1 and 2, and seeking the best match. Average gain resolution is 1.5%, with worst case steps of about 50% as seen in Figure 7.

The inverting amplifier, shown in Figure 8, is another classical op amp configuration. The circuit is actually identical to the noninverting amplifier of Figure 4, except that VIN and GND have been swapped. The list of available gains is shown in Table 3, and some of the circuits are shown in Figure 9. Noise gain is 1+|Gain|, as is the usual case for inverting amplifiers. Again, for the best DC perfor­mance, match the source impedance seen by the op amp inputs.

Difference Amplifiers
The resistors in the LT1996 allow it to easily make differ­ence amplifiers also. Figure 10 shows the basic 4-resistor difference amplifier and the LT1996. A difference gain of 27 is shown, but notice the effect of the additional dashed connections. By connecting the 50k resistors in parallel, the gain is reduced by a factor of 10. Of course, with so many resistors, there are many possible gains. Table 4 shows the difference gains and how they are achieved. Note that, as for inverting amplifiers, the noise gain is 1 more than the signal gain.

Figure 12. Another Method of Selecting Difference Gain Is “Cross-Coupling.” The Additional Method Means the LT1996 Provides Extra Integer Gains
Difference Amplifier: Additional Integer Gains Using Cross-Coupling
Figure 12 shows the basic difference amplifier as well as the LT1996 in a difference gain of 27. But notice the effect of the additional dashed connections. This is referred to as “cross-coupling” and has the effect of reducing the differ­ential gain from 27 to 18. Using this method, additional integer gains are achievable, as shown in Table 5 below. Note that the equations can be written by inspection from the V
+
connections, and that the V
IN
connections are
IN
simply the opposite (swap P for M and M for P). The method is the same as for the LT1991, except that the LT1996 applies a multiplier of 9. Noise gain, bandwidth, and input impedance specifications for the various cases are also tabulated, as these are not obvious. Schematics are provided in Figure 13.

High Voltage CM Difference Amplifiers
This class of difference amplifier remains to be discussed. Figure 14 shows the basic circuit on the top. The effective input voltage range of the circuit is extended by the fact that resistors RT attenuate the common mode voltage seen by the op amp inputs. For the LT1996, the most useful resistors for RG are the M9 and P9 50k resistors, because they do not have diode clamps to the supplies and therefore can be taken outside the supplies. As before, the input CM of the op amp is the limiting factor and is set by the voltage at the op amp +input, V we can write:
V
= V
INT
(RF + RG||RT) + V
Solving for V
V
= (1 + RG/(RF||RT)) • (V

(RF + RG||RT) – V

Given the values of the resistors in the LT1996, this equation has been simplified and evaluated, and the re­sulting equations provided in Table 6. As before, substi­tuting VCC – 1.2 and VEE + 1 for V upper and lower common mode extremes respectively. Following are sample calculations for the case shown in Figure 14, right-hand side. Note that P81 and M81 are terminated so row 3 of Table 6 provides the equation:
MAX V
= 91/9 • (VCC – 1.2V) – V
EXT
= (10.11) • (10.8) – 0.11(2.5) – 9(10) =
18.9V
and:
MIN V
= 91/9 • (VEE + 1V) – V
EXT
= (10.11)(1) – 0.11(2.5) – 9(10) = –80.2V
