OP177 GP Precision Op-Amp

Contents hide

OP177 precision bipolar op amp feature very low offset voltage and drift. Laser-trimmed offset, drift, and input bias current virtually eliminate the need for costly external trimming. The high performance and low cost make them ideally suited to a wide range of precision instrumentation. The IC has a wide range of working conditions and also has direct compatibility with every PMOS, NMOS, & CMOS device.

Precision Operational Amplifier

A Precision operational amplifier is an operational amplifier with better design specifications and topology than the conventional op-amp. Precision Op-amps are more accurate than your average general-purpose op-amps. In terms of design topology, Precision amplifiers have a better precision offset, zero-drift over time, lower internal noise (nV/√Hz), and input bias current. On the component scale, they have precise matching resistors etched in the substrate at the chip level.

For Example; a LM741 op-amp, has an offset voltage of 5mV. The offset voltage signifies the voltage that the user has to apply between the +ve and -ve of the IC, in order to get an output of 0V. On configuring the op-amp to operate at a gain of 100. The gain will not only multiply the input signal, but it will also multiply the offset voltage. This will result in the output voltage being off-value by a factor of +/-0.5V. On considering the OP177; a precision op-amp, with an offset voltage of 25uV. The same gain value of 100, would produce an error of only 2.5mV in a signal that has been amplified by a factor of 100.
