LM194/LM394 Supermatch Pair

General Description

 

The LM194 and LM394 are junction isolated ultra well-

matched transistor pair. In many cases, trimming can be

matched monolithic NPN transistor pairs with an order of

magnitude improvement in matching over conventional tran-

costs. Additionally, the low noise and high gain make this

sistor pairs. This was accomplished by advanced linear pro-

Note 1: Collector-base voltage is swept from 0 to VMAX at a collector current of 1 mA, 10 mA, 100 mA, and 1 mA.

Note 2: Offset voltage drift with VOS e 0 at TA e 25§C is valid only when the ratio of IC1 to IC2 is adjusted to give the initial zero offset. This ratio must be held to within 0.003% over the entire temperature range. Measurements taken at a25§C and temperature extremes.

Note 3: Logging conformity is measured by computing the best fit to a true exponential and expressing the error as a base-emitter voltage deviation.

Note 4: Refer to RETS194X drawing of military LM194H version for specifications.
