JFET Input Operational Amplifiers
General Description
Applications
This is the first monolithic JFET input operational amplifier to
incorporate well matched, high voltage JFETs on the same
chip with standard bipolar transistors (BI-FET™ Technology).
This amplifier features low input bias and offset currents/low
offset voltage and offset voltage drift, coupled with offset
adjust which does not degrade drift or common-mode rejection. The device is also designed for high slew rate, wide
bandwidth, extremely fast settling time, low voltage and
current noise and a low 1/ƒ noise corner.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate condition for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits . For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions.
Note 2: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax(maximum junction temperature), θJA(package junction
to ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PD=(TJmax−TA)/θJA or the number
given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower.
Note 3: The absolute maximum negative input voltage is equal to the negative power supply voltage.
Note 4: Short circuit may be to ground or either supply. Rating applies to +125˚C case temperature or +75˚C ambient temperature.
Note 5: Human body model, 100pF discharged through 1.5KΩ.

These are op amps with JFET input devices. These JFETs
have large reverse breakdown voltages from gate to source
and drain eliminating the need for clamps across the inputs.
Therefore large differential input voltages can easily be accommodated without a large increase in input current. The
maximum differential input voltage is independent of the
supply voltages. However, neither of the input voltages
should be allowed to exceed the negative supply as this will
cause large currents to flow which can result in a destroyed
unit.
Exceeding the negative common-mode limit on either input
will force the output to a high state, potentially causing a
reversal of phase to the output. Exceeding the negative
common-mode limit on both inputs will force the amplifier
output to a high state. In neither case does a latch occur
since raising the input back within the common-mode range
again puts the input stage and thus the amplifier in a normal
operating mode.
Exceeding the positive common-mode limit on a single input
will not change the phase of the output however, if both
inputs exceed the limit, the output of the amplifier will be
forced to a high state.
Typical Circuit Connections
VOS Adjustment
20151167
These amplifiers will operate with the common-mode input
voltage equal to the positive supply. In fact, the commonmode voltage can exceed the positive supply by approximately 100 mV independent of supply voltage and over the
full operating temperature range. The positive supply can
therefore be used as a reference on an input as, for example, in a supply current monitor and/or limiter.
Precautions should be taken to ensure that the power supply
for the integrated circuit never becomes reversed in polarity
or that the unit is not inadvertently installed backwards in a
socket as an unlimited current surge through the resulting
forward diode within the IC could cause fusing of the internal
conductors and result in a destroyed unit.
All of the bias currents in these amplifiers are set by FET
current sources. The drain currents for the amplifiers are
therefore essentially independent of supply voltage.
As with most amplifiers, care should be taken with lead
dress, component placement and supply decoupling in order
to ensure stability. For example, resistors from the output to
an input should be placed with the body close to the input to
minimize “pickup” and maximize the frequency of the feedback pole by minimizing the capacitance from the input to
ground.
A feedback pole is created when the feedback around any
amplifier is resistive. The parallel resistance and capacitance
from the input of the device (usually the inverting input) to AC
ground set the frequency of the pole. In many instances the
frequency of this pole is much greater than the expected 3dB
frequency of the closed loop gain and consequently there is
• VOS is adjusted with a 25k potentiometer
• The potentiometer wiper is connected to V+
• For potentiometers with temperature coefficient of 100
ppm/˚C or less the additional drift with adjust is ≈ 0.5µV/
˚C/mV of adjustment
• Typical overall drift: 5µV/˚C ± (0.5µV/˚C/mV of adj.)

negligible effect on stability margin. However, if the feedback
pole is less than approximately six times the expected 3 dB
frequency a lead capacitor should be placed from the output
to the input of the op amp. The value of the added capacitor
should be such that the RC time constant of this capacitor
and the resistance it parallels is greater than or equal to the
original feedback pole time constant.
