TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
17A Max, Dual and Quad,
Single Supply, Precision Op Amps
The LT
2178 is a micropower dual op amp in a surface
mount standard 8-pin conguration, the LT2179 is a
micropower quad op amp offered in a surface mount
14-pin package. Both devices are optimized for single
supply operation at 5V. Specications are also provided
at
±15V supply.
The extremely low supply current is combined with true
precision specications: offset voltage is 30μV and offset
current is 50pA. Both offset parameters have low drift with
temperature. The 1.5pAP-P current noise and picoampere
offset current permit the use the megohm level source
resistors without introducing serious errors. Voltage
noise, at 0.9μVP-P, is remarkably low considering the low
supply current.
The LT2178/LT2179 can be operated from a single supply
(as low as one lithium-cell or two NiCd batteries). The input
range goes below ground. The all-NPN output stage swings
to within a few millivolts of ground while sinking current.
No power consuming pull down resistors are needed.
For surface mount applications where three times higher
supply current is acceptable, the micropower LT1077
single, LT2078 dual and LT2079 quad are recommended.
The LT1077/LT2078/LT2079 have signicantly higher
bandwidth, slew rate, lower voltage noise and better output
drive capability. For applications requiring DIP packages
refer to the LT1178/LT1179.
