The LT ®1672/LT1673/LT1674 are ultralow power
(IS ≤ 2µA) decompensated (AV ≥ 5) op amps with precision specifications. The extremely low supply current is
combined with excellent amplifier specifications: input
offset voltage is 375µV maximum with a typical drift of
only 0.4µV/°C, input offset current is 100pA maximum. A
minimum open-loop gain (AVOL) of 100V/mV ensures that
gain errors are small. The devices’ characteristics change
little over the supply range of 2.2V to ±15V. Supply
rejection is 90dB and the common mode rejection ratio is
90dB. Operation is specified for 3V, 5V and ±15V supplies.
Reverse battery protection (–18V min) and inputs that
operate above the positive supply make the LT1672/
LT1673/LT1674 easy to use in harsh environments.
The low bias currents and offset current of the amplifier
permit the use of megohm level source resistors without
introducing significant errors. Voltage noise at 4µVP-P is
remarkably low considering the low supply current. For
unity gain stable versions of these amplifiers, see the
LT1494/LT1495/LT1496.

Start-Up Characteristics
V+
Micropower op amps are sometimes not micropower
during start-up, wreaking havoc on low current supplies.
In the worst case, there may not be enough supply current
available to take the system up to nominal voltages. Figure
1 is a graph of LT1673 supply current vs supply voltage
for the three limit cases of input offset that could occur
during start-up. The circuits are shown in Figure 2. One
circuit creates a positive offset, forcing the output to come
up saturated high. Another circuit creates a negative
offset, forcing the output to come up saturated low, while
the last brings up the output at half supply. In all cases, the
supply current is well behaved. Supply current is highest
with the output forced high, so if one amplifier is unused,
it is best to force the output low or at half supply.

Reverse Battery
The LT1672/LT1673/LT1674 are protected against reverse
battery voltages up to 18V. In the event a reverse battery
condition occurs, the supply current is typically less than
100nA (inputs grounded and outputs open). For typical
single supply applications with ground referred loads and
feedback networks, no other precautions are required. If
the reverse battery condition results in a negative voltage
at either the input pins or output pin, the current into the
pin should be limited by an external resistor to less than
10mA.

OUTPUT VS/2

While the LT1672/LT1673/LT1674 will function normally
with its inputs taken above the positive supply, the common mode range does not extend beyond approximately
300mV below the negative supply at room temperature.

APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
The device will not be damaged if the inputs are taken lower
than 300mV below the negative supply as long as the current out of the pin is limited to less than 10mA. However,
the output phase is not guaranteed and the supply current
will increase.
and (VCC – 0.8V), Q1 and Q2 are active. When the input
common mode exceeds (VCC – 0.8V), Q7 turns on,
diverting the current from diff amp Q1-Q2 to current
mirror Q8-Q9. The current from Q8 biases on the other
diff amp consisting of PNP’s Q5-Q6 and NPN’s Q3-Q4.
Though Q5-Q6 are driven from the emitters rather than
the base, the basic diff amp action is the same. When the
common mode voltage is between (VCC – 0.8V) and VCC,
devices Q3 and Q4 act as followers, forming a buffer
between the amplifier inputs and the emitters of the Q5Q6. If the common mode voltage is taken above V CC,
Schottky diodes D1 and D2 reverse bias and devices Q3
and Q4 then act as diodes. The diff amp formed by Q5-Q6
operates normally, however, the input bias current increases to the emitter current of Q5-Q6, which is typically
180nA. The graph, Input Bias Current vs Common Mode
Voltage found in the Typical Performance Characteristics
section, shows these transitions at three temperatures.
Output
The graph, Capacitive Load Handling, shows amplifier stability with the output biased at half supply. If the output is
to be operated within about 100mV of the positive rail, the
allowable load capacitance is less. With this output voltage, the worst case occurs at AV = 5 and light loads, where
the load capacitance should be less than 500pF with a 5V
supply and less than 100pF with a 30V supply.
Rail-to-Rail Operation
The simplified schematic, Figure 3, details the circuit
design approach of the LT1672/LT1673/LT1674. The
amplifier topology is a three-stage design consisting of a
rail-to-rail input stage, that continues to operate with the
inputs above the positive rail, a folded cascode second
stage that develops most of the voltage gain, and a rail-torail common emitter stage that provides the current gain.
The collector currents of the two-input pairs are combined
in the second stage consisting of Q11 to Q16, which
furnishes most of the voltage gain. Capacitor C1 sets the
amplifier bandwidth. The output stage is configured for
maximum swing by the use of common emitter output
devices Q21 and Q22. Diodes D4 to D6 and current source
Q15 set the output quiescent current.
The input stage is formed by two diff amps Q1-Q2 and Q3Q6. For signals with a common mode voltage between V EE
