The OP27 precision operational amplifier combines the low
offset and drift of the OP07 with both high speed and low noise.
Offsets down to 25 µV and maximum drift of 0.6 µV/°C make
the OP27 ideal for precision instrumentation applications. Low
noise, en = 3.5 nV/√Hz, at 10 Hz, a low 1/f noise corner
frequency of 2.7 Hz, and high gain (1.8 million), allow accurate
high-gain amplification of low-level signals. A gain bandwidth
product of 8 MHz and a 2.8 V/µs slew rate provide excellent
dynamic accuracy in high speed, data-acquisition systems.

A low input bias current of ±10 nA is achieved by use of a bias
current cancellation circuit. Over the military temperature
range, this circuit typically holds IB and IOS to ±20 nA and 15 nA,
respectively.
The output stage has good load driving capability. A guaranteed
swing of ±10 V into 600 Ω and low output distortion make the
OP27 an excellent choice for professional audio applications.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
(Continued from Page 1)
PSRR and CMRR exceed 120 dB. These characteristics, coupled
with long-term drift of 0.2 µV/month, allow the circuit designer
to achieve performance levels previously attained only by discrete
designs.
Low cost, high volume production of OP27 is achieved by
using an on-chip Zener zap-trimming network. This reliable
and stable offset trimming scheme has proven its effectiveness
over many years of production history.
The OP27 provides excellent performance in low noise,
high accuracy amplification of low level signals. Applications
include stable integrators, precision summing amplifiers,
precision voltage threshold detectors, comparators, and
professional audio circuits such as tape heads and microphone
preamplifiers.

Long-term input offset voltage stability refers to the average trend line of VOS vs. time over extended periods after the first 30 days of operation. Excluding the initial
hour of operation, changes in VOS during the first 30 days are typically 2.5 µV. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics section.

(1 V), the output waveform looks as shown in the
pulsed operation diagram (see Figure 37).
During the fast feedthrough-like portion of the output, the
input protection diodes effectively short the output to the input,
and a current, limited only by the output short-circuit protection, is drawn by the signal generator. With Rf ≥ 500 Ω, the output is
capable of handling the current requirements (IL ≤ 20 mA at 10 V);
the amplifier stays in its active mode and a smooth transition
occurs.
When Rf > 2 kΩ, a pole is created with Rf and the amplifier’s
input capacitance (8 pF) that creates additional phase shift and
reduces phase margin. A small capacitor (20 pF to 50 pF) in
parallel with Rf eliminates this problem.

Voltage noise is inversely proportional to the square root of bias
current, but current noise is proportional to the square root of
bias current. The noise advantage of the OP27 disappears when
high source resistors are used. Figure 38, Figure 39, Figure 40

performance of other devices in different circuit applications.

The OP27 is a very low noise, monolithic op amp. The outstanding input voltage noise characteristics of the OP27
are achieved mainly by operating the input stage at a high
quiescent current. The input bias and offset currents, which
would normally increase, are held to reasonable values by the
input bias current cancellation circuit. The OP27A/OP27E has
IB and IOS of only ±40 nA and 35 nA at 25°C respectively. This
is particularly important when the input has a high source
resistance. In addition, many audio amplifier designers prefer
to use direct coupling. The high IB, VOS, and TCVOS of previous
designs have made direct coupling difficult, if not impossible,
to use.
Figure 39 shows the 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz p-p noise. Here the picture
is less favorable; resistor noise is negligible and current noise
becomes important because it is inversely proportional to the
square root of frequency. The crossover with the OP07 occurs
in the 3 kΩ to 5 kΩ range depending on whether balanced or
unbalanced source resistors are used (at 3 kΩ the IB and IOS
error also can be 3× the VOS spec).

Figure 38 shows noise vs. source resistance at 1000 Hz. The
same plot applies to wideband noise. To use this plot, multiply
the vertical scale by the square root of the bandwidth.

For low frequency applications, the OP07 is better than the
OP27/OP37 when RS > 3 kΩ. The only exception is when gain
error is important.

Figure 38. Noise vs. Source Resistance (Including Resistor Noise) at 1000 Hz
At RS < 1 kΩ, the low voltage noise of the OP27 is maintained.
With RS < 1 kΩ, total noise increases but is dominated by the
resistor noise rather than current or voltage noise. lt is only
beyond RS of 20 kΩ that current noise starts to dominate. The
argument can be made that current noise is not important for
applications with low-to-moderate source resistances. The
crossover between the OP27 and OP07 noise occurs in the 15 kΩ
to 40 kΩ region.
