GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TC911 CMOS auto-zeroed operational amplifier
is the first complete monolithic chopper-stabilized amplifier. Chopper operational amplifiers like the ICL7650/7652
and LTC1052 require user-supplied, external offset compensation storage capacitors. External capacitors are
not required with the TC911. Just as easy to use as the
conventional OP07 type amplifier, the TC911 significantly
reduces offset voltage errors. Pinout matches the OP07/
741/7650 8-pin mini-DIP configuration.
Several system benefits arise by eliminating the external chopper capacitors: lower system parts count, reduced
assembly time and cost, greater system reliability, reduced
PC board layout effort and greater board area utilization.
Space savings can be significant in multiple-amplifier designs.
Electrical specifications include 15µV maximum offset
voltage, 0.15µV/°C maximum offset voltage temperature
coefficient. Offset voltage error is five times lower than the
premium OP07E bipolar device. The TC911 improves offset drift performance by eight times.
The TC911 operates from dual or single power supplies. Supply current is typically 350µA. Single 4.5V to 16V
supply operation is possible, making single 9V battery
operation possible. The TC911 is available in 2 package
types: 8-pin plastic DIP and SOIC.
