Application information
5.1
Operation theory
The OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA are high precision CMOS op amp. They achieve a
low offset drift and no 1/f noise thanks to their chopper architecture. Chopper-stabilized
amps constantly correct low-frequency errors across the inputs of the amplifier.
Chopper-stabilized amplifiers can be explained with respect to:
5.1.1
Time domain
Frequency domain
Time domain
The basis of the chopper amplifier is realized in two steps. These steps are synchronized
thanks to a clock running at 400 kHz.
Figure 38: Block diagram in the time domain (step 1)
Figure 39: Block diagram in the time domain (step 2)
Figure 38: "Block diagram in the time domain (step 1)" shows step 1, the first clock cycle,
where Vio is amplified in the normal way.
Figure 39: "Block diagram in the time domain (step 2)" shows step 2, the second clock
cycle, where Chop1 and Chop2 swap paths. At this time, the Vio is amplified in a reverse
way as compared to step 1.
At the end of these two steps, the average Vio is close to zero.
The A2(f) amplifier has a small impact on the Vio because the Vio is expressed as the input
offset and is consequently divided by A1(f).
DocID025994 Rev 3

Application information
OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA, OA4ZHA
In the time domain, the offset part of the output signal before filtering is shown in Figure 40:
"Vio cancellation principle".
Figure 40: Vio cancellation principle
The low pass filter averages the output value resulting in the cancellation of the V io offset.
The 1/f noise can be considered as an offset in low frequency and it is canceled like the V io,
thanks to the chopper technique.
5.1.2
Frequency domain
The frequency domain gives a more accurate vision of chopper-stabilized amplifier
architecture.
Figure 41: Block diagram in the frequency domain
The modulation technique transposes the signal to a higher frequency where there is no 1/f
noise, and demodulate it back after amplification.
1.
2.
3.
4.
According to Figure 41: "Block diagram in the frequency domain", the input signal Vin
is modulated once (Chop1) so all the input signal is transposed to the high frequency
domain.
The amplifier adds its own error (Vio (output offset voltage) + the noise Vn (1/f noise))
to this modulated signal.
This signal is then demodulated (Chop2), but since the noise and the offset are
modulated only once, they are transposed to the high frequency, leaving the output
signal of the amplifier without any offset and low frequency noise. Consequently, the
input signal is amplified with a very low offset and 1/f noise.
To get rid of the high frequency part of the output signal (which is useless) a low pass
filter is implemented.
To further suppress the remaining ripple down to a desired level, another low pass filter
may be added externally on the output of the OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA device.

Application information
Operating voltages
OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA CMOS op amp can operate from 1.8 to 5.5 V. The
parameters are fully specified for 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V power supplies. However, the
parameters are very stable in the full ςΧΧ range and several characterization curves show
the OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA op amp characteristics at 1.8 V and 5.5 V.
Additionally, the main specifications are guaranteed in extended temperature ranges from 40 to 125 ° C.
5.3
Input pin voltage ranges
OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA CMOS op amp can operate from 1.8 to 5.5 V. The
parameters are fully specified for 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and have internal ESD diode protection on
the inputs. These diodes are connected between the input and each supply rail to protect
the input MOSFETs from electrical discharge.
If the input pin voltage exceeds the power supply by 0.5 V, the ESD diodes become
conductive and excessive current can flow through them. Without limitation this over
current can damage the device.
In this case, it is important to limit the current to 10 mA, by adding resistance on the input
pin, as described in Figure 42: "Input current limitation".
Figure 42: Input current limitation
5.4
Rail-to-rail input
OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA CMOS op amp have a rail-to-rail input, and the input
common mode range is extended from (VCC-) - 0.1 V to (VCC+) + 0.1 V.

Input offset voltage drift over temperature
The maximum input voltage drift variation over temperature is defined as the offset
variation related to the offset value measured at 25 °C. The operational amplifier is one of
the main circuits of the signal conditioning chain, and the amplifier input offset is a major
contributor to the chain accuracy. The signal chain accuracy at 25 °C can be compensated
during production at application level. The maximum input voltage drift over temperature
enables the system designer to anticipate the effect of temperature variations.
The maximum input voltage drift over temperature is computed using Equation 1.
Equation 1
∆Vio
V ( T ) – Vio ( 25 °C)
= max io
∆T
T – 25 °C
where T = -40 °C and 125 °C.
The OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA CMOS datasheet maximum value is guaranteed by
measurements on a representative sample size ensuring a Cpk (process capability index)
greater than 1.3.

Rail-to-rail output
The operational amplifier output levels can go close to the rails: to a maximum of 30 mV
above and below the rail when connected to a 10 kΩ resistive load to VCC/2.

Application information
Capacitive load
Driving large capacitive loads can cause stability problems. Increasing the load
capacitance produces gain peaking in the frequency response, with overshoot and ringing
in the step response. It is usually considered that with a gain peaking higher than 2.3 dB an
op amp might become unstable.
Generally, the unity gain configuration is the worst case for stability and the ability to drive
large capacitive loads.
Figure 43: "Stability criteria with a serial resistor at VDD = 5 V" and Figure 44: "Stability
criteria with a serial resistor at VDD = 1.8 V" show the serial resistor that must be added to
the output, to make a system stable. Figure 45: "Test configuration for Riso" shows the test
configuration using an isolation resistor, Riso.

PCB layout recommendations
Particular attention must be paid to the layout of the PCB, tracks connected to the amplifier,
load, and power supply. The power and ground traces are critical as they must provide
adequate energy and grounding for all circuits. Good practice is to use short and wide PCB
traces to minimize voltage drops and parasitic inductance.
In addition, to minimize parasitic impedance over the entire surface, a multi-via technique
that connects the bottom and top layer ground planes together in many locations is often
used.
The copper traces that connect the output pins to the load and supply pins should be as
wide as possible to minimize trace resistance.

Optimized application recommendation
OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA CMOS op amp are based on chopper architecture. As
they are switched devices, it is strongly recommended to place a 0.1 µF capacitor as close
as possible to the supply pins.
A good decoupling has several advantages for an application. First, it helps to reduce
electromagnetic interference. Due to the modulation of the chopper, the decoupling
capacitance also helps to reject the small ripple that may appear on the output.
OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA CMOS op amp have been optimized for use with 10 kΩ
in the feedback loop. With this, or a higher value of resistance, these devices offer the best
performance.

EMI rejection ration (EMIRR)
The electromagnetic interference (EMI) rejection ratio, or EMIRR, describes the EMI
immunity of operational amplifiers. An adverse effect that is common to many op amp is a
change in the offset voltage as a result of RF signal rectification.
OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA CMOS op amp have been specially designed to minimize
susceptibility to EMIRR and show an extremely good sensitivity. Figure 46: "EMIRR on IN+
pin" shows the EMIRR IN+ of the OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA measured from 10 MHz
up to 2.4 GHz.

Application examples
5.11.1
Oxygen sensor
The electrochemical sensor creates a current proportional to the concentration of the gas
being measured. This current is converted into voltage thanks to R resistance. This voltage
is then amplified by OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA CMOS op amp (see Figure 47:
"Oxygen sensor principle schematic").
Figure 47: Oxygen sensor principle schematic
The output voltage is calculated using Equation 2:
Equation 2
Vou t = ( I × R – Vio ) ×
R2
+1
R1
As the current delivered by the O2 sensor is extremely low, the impact of the V io can
become significant with a traditional operational amplifier. The use of the chopper amplifier
of the OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA is perfect for this application.
In addition, using OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA op amp for the O2 sensor application
ensures that the measurement of O2 concentration is stable even at different temperature
thanks to a very good ∆Vio/∆T.

Precision instrumentation amplifier
The instrumentation amplifier uses three op amp. The circuit, shown in Figure 48:
"Precision instrumentation amplifier schematic", exhibits high input impedance, so that the
source impedance of the connected sensor has no impact on the amplification.
Figure 48: Precision instrumentation amplifier schematic
The gain is set by tuning the Rg resistor. With R1 = R2 and R3 = R4, the output is given by
Equation 3.
Equation 3
The matching of R1, R2 and R3, R4 is important to ensure a good common mode rejection
ratio (CMR).
5.11.3
Low-side current sensing
Power management mechanisms are found in most electronic systems. Current sensing is
useful for protecting applications. The low-side current sensing method consists of placing
a sense resistor between the load and the circuit ground. The resulting voltage drop is
amplified using OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA CMOS op amp (see Figure 49: "Low-side
current sensing schematic").

The main advantage of using the chopper of the OA1ZHA, OA2ZHA and OA4ZHA, for a
low-side current sensing, is that the errors due to Vio and Iio are extremely low and may be
neglected.
Therefore, for the same accuracy, the shunt resistor can be chosen with a lower value,
resulting in lower power dissipation, lower drop in the ground path, and lower cost.
Particular attention must be paid on the matching and precision of Rg1, Rg2, Rf1, and Rf2, to
maximize the accuracy of the measurement.
