The LTC®2057 is a high voltage, low noise, zero-drift operational amplifier that offers precision DC performance
over a wide supply range of 4.75V to 36V or 4.75V to
60V for the LTC2057HV. Offset voltage and 1/f noise are
suppressed, allowing this amplifier to achieve a maximum
offset voltage of 4μV and a DC to 10Hz input noise voltage of 200nVP-P (typ). The LTC2057’s self-calibrating
circuitry results in low offset voltage drift with temperature,
0.015μV/°C (max), and zero-drift over time. The amplifier
also features an excellent power supply rejection ratio
(PSRR) of 160dB and a common mode rejection ratio
(CMRR) of 150dB (typ).
The LTC2057 provides rail-to-rail output swing and an
input common mode range that includes the V– rail (V– –
0.1V to V+ – 1.5V). In addition to low offset and noise, this
amplifier features a 1.5MHz (typ) gain-bandwidth product
and a 0.45V/μs (typ) slew rate.
Wide supply range, combined with low noise, low offset,
and excellent PSRR and CMRR make the LTC2057 and
LTC2057HV well suited for high dynamic-range test,
measurement, and instrumentation systems.

LTC2057/LTC2057HV
Electrical Characteristics
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTC2057I/LTC2057HVI are guaranteed to meet specified
performance from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC2057H/LTC2057HVH are
guaranteed to meet specified performance from –40°C to 125°C.
Note 3: These parameters are guaranteed by design. Thermocouple effects
preclude measurements of these voltage levels during automated testing.
VOS is measured to a limit determined by test equipment capability.
Note 4: These specifications are limited by automated test system
capability. Leakage currents and thermocouple effects reduce test
accuracy. For tighter specifications, please contact LTC Marketing.
Note 5: Minimum specifications for these parameters are limited by
the capabilities of the automated test system, which has an accuracy of
approximately 10µV for VOS measurements. For reference, 10µV/60V is
136dB, 10µV/30V is 130dB, and 10µV/5V is 114dB.

Applications Information
Input Voltage Noise
Chopper stabilized amplifiers like the LTC2057 achieve low
offset and 1/f noise by heterodyning DC and flicker noise
to higher frequencies. In a classical chopper stabilized
amplifier, this process results in idle tones at the chopping
frequency and its odd harmonics.
The LTC2057 utilizes circuitry to suppress these spurious
artifacts to well below the offset voltage. The typical ripple
magnitude at 100kHz is much less than 1µVRMS.
The voltage noise spectrum of the LTC2057 is shown in
Figure 1. If lower noise is required, consider one of the
following circuits from the Typical Applications section:
"DC Stabilized, Ultralow Noise Amplifier" or "Paralleling
Choppers to Improve Noise."

It is important to note that the current noise is not equal
to 2qIB. This formula is relevant for base current in bipolar
transistors and diode currents, but for most chopper and
auto-zero amplifiers with switched inputs, the dominant
current noise mechanism is not shot noise.

Input Bias Current

As illustrated in Figure 3, the LTC2057’s input bias current
originates from two distinct mechanisms. Below 75°C,
input bias current is nearly constant with temperature,
and is caused by charge injection from the clocked input
switches used in offset correction.

For applications with high source impedances, input current noise can be a significant contributor to total output
noise. For this reason, it is important to consider noise
current interaction with circuit elements placed at an
amplifier’s inputs.
The current noise spectrum of the LTC2057 is shown in
Figure 2. The characteristic curve shows no 1/f behavior.
As with all zero-drift amplifiers, there is a significant current noise component at the offset-nulling frequency. This
phenomenon is discussed in the Input Bias Current section.

Applications Information
For zero-drift amplifiers, clock feed-through will be
proportional to source impedance and the magnitude of
injection current, a measure of which is IB at 25°C. In
order to minimize clock feed-through, keep gain-setting
resistors and source impedances as low as possible. If
high impedances are required, place a capacitor across
the feedback resistor to limit the bandwidth of the closed
loop gain. Doing so will effectively filter out the clock
feed-through signal.
Injection currents from the two inputs are of equal magnitude but opposite direction. Therefore, input bias current
effects due to injection currents will not be canceled by
placing matched impedances at both inputs.
MICROVOLTS REFERRED TO 25°C
Above 75°C, leakage of the ESD protection diodes begins to
dominate the input bias current and continues to increase
exponentially at elevated temperatures. Unlike injection
current, leakage currents are in the same direction for both
inputs. Therefore, the output error due to leakage currents

can be mitigated by matching the source impedances seen
by the two inputs.
Thermocouple Effects
In order to achieve accuracy on the microvolt level, thermocouple effects must be considered. Any connection
of dissimilar metals forms a thermoelectric junction and
generates a small temperature-dependent voltage. Also
known as the Seebeck Effect, these thermal EMFs can be
the dominant error source in low-drift circuits.
Connectors, switches, relay contacts, sockets, resistors,
and solder are all candidates for significant thermal EMF
generation. Even junctions of copper wire from different
manufacturers can generate thermal EMFs of 200nV/°C,
which is over 13 times the maximum drift specification of
the LTC2057. Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the potential magnitude of these voltages and their sensitivity to temperature.
In order to minimize thermocouple-induced errors, attention must be given to circuit board layout and component
selection. It is good practice to minimize the number of
junctions in the amplifier’s input signal path and avoid connectors, sockets, switches, and relays whenever possible.
If such components are required, they should be selected
for low thermal EMF characteristics. Furthermore, the
number, type, and layout of junctions should be matched
for both inputs with respect to thermal gradients on the
circuit board. Doing so may involve deliberately introducing
dummy junctions to offset unavoidable junctions.
THERMALLY PRODUCED VOLTAGE IN MICROVOLTS
The DC average of injection current is the specified input
bias current, but this current has a frequency component
at the chopping frequency as well. When these small
current pulses, typically about 0.7nARMS, interact with
source impedances or gain setting resistors, the resulting
voltage spikes are amplified by the closed loop gain. For
high impedances, this may cause the 100kHz chopping
frequency to be visible in the output spectrum, which is
a phenomenon known as clock feed-through.
