The two sample-and-hold capacitors usually required externally by other chopper amplifiers are integrated on-chip. Further, LTC s proprietary high-voltage CMOS structures allow the LTC115 to operate at up to V total supply voltage. The LTC115 has an offset voltage of.5µv, drift of.1µv/ C,.1Hz to 1Hz input noise voltage of 1.8µV P-P and a typical voltage gain of 18dB. The slew rate of V/µs and a gain bandwidth product of.5mhz are achieved with.8ma of supply current. Overload recovery times from positive and negative saturation conditions are ms and ms, respectively. For applications demanding low power consumption, Pin 1 can be used to program the supply current. Pin 5 is an optional AC-coupled clock input, useful for synchronization. The LTC115 is available in standard 8-lead, plastic dualin-line package, as well as an 8-lead SO package. The LTC115 can be a plug-in replacement for most standard bipolar op amps with significant improvement in DC performance., LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

The supply current can be programmed through Pin 1. When Pin 1 is left open or tied to V, the supply current defaults to 8µA. Tying a resistor between Pin 1 and Pin, the negative supply pin, will reduce the supply current. The supply current, as a function of the resistor value, is shown in Typical Performance Characteristics. IN (Pin ): Inverting Input. IN (Pin ): Noninverting Input. V (Pin ): Negative Supply. EXT CLOCK IN (Pin 5): Optional External Clock Input. The LTC115 has an internal oscillator to control the circuit operation of the amplifier if Pin 5 is left open or biased at any DC voltage in the supply voltage range. When an external clock is desirable, it can be applied to Pin 5. The applied clock is AC-coupled to the internal circuitry to simplified interface requirements. The amplitude of the clock input signal needs to be greater than V and the voltage level has to be within the supply voltage range. Duty cycle is not critical. The internal chopping frequency is the external clock frequency divided by four. When frequency of the external clock falls below 1Hz (internal chopping at 5Hz), the internal oscillator takes over and the circuit chops at 55Hz. OT (Pin ): Output. V (Pin ): Positive Supply. CLOCK OT (Pin 8): Clock Output. The signal coming out of this pin is at the internal oscillator frequency of about.khz (four times the chopping frequency) and has voltage levels at V H = V S and V L = V S.. If the circuit is driven by an external clock, Pin 8 is pulled up to V S. 8 115fb

LTC115 APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO W ACHIEVING PICOAMPERE/MICROVOLT PERFORMANCE Picoamperes In order to realize the picoampere level of accuracy of the LTC115, proper care must be exercised. Leakage currents in circuitry external to the amplifier can significantly degrade performance. High quality insulation should be used (e.g., Teflon, Kel-F); cleaning of all insulating surfaces to remove fluxes and other residues will probably be necessaryparticularly for high temperature performance. Surface coating may be necessary to provide a moisture barrier in high humidity environments. Board leakage can be minimized by encircling the input connections with a guard ring operated at a potential close to that of the inputs: in inverting configurations the guard ring should be tied to ground; in noninverting connections to the inverting input. Guarding both sides of the printed circuit board is required. Bulk leakage reduction depends on the guard ring width. Microvolts Thermocouple effects must be considered if the LTC115 s ultralow drift is to be fully utilized. Any connection of dissimilar metals forms a thermoelectric junction producing an electric potential which varies with temperature (Seebeck effect). As temperature sensors, thermocouples exploit this phenomenon to produce useful information. In low drift amplifier circuits the effect is a primary source of error. Connectors, switches, relay contacts, sockets, resistors, solder, and even copper wire are all candidates for thermal EMF generation. Junctions of copper wire from different manufacturers can generate thermal EMFs of nv/ C four times the maximum drift specification of the LTC115. The copper/kovar junction, formed when wire or printed circuit traces contact a package lead, has a thermal EMF of approximately 5µV/ C times the maximum drift specification of the LTC115. Minimizing thermal EMF-induced errors is possible if judicious attention is 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. Avoid connectors, sockets, switches, and relays where possible. In instances where this is not possible, attempt to balance the number and type of junctions so that differential cancellation occurs. Doing this may involve deliberately introducing junctions to offset unavoidable junctions. Figure 1 is an example of the introduction of an unnecessary resistor to promote differential thermal balance. Maintaining compensating junctions in close physical proximity will keep them at the same temperature and reduce thermal EMF errors. NOMINALLY NNECESSARY RESISTOR SED TO THERMALLY BALANCE OTHER INPT RESISTOR RESISTOR LEAD, SOLDER, COPPER TRACE JNCTION LEAD WIRE/SOLDER COPPER TRACE JNCTION LTC115 Figure 1. Extra Resistors Cancel Thermal EMF OTPT LTC115 AI1 When connectors, switches, relays and/or sockets are necessary, they should be selected for low thermal EMF activity. The same techniques of thermally-balancing and coupling the matching junctions are effective in reducing the thermal EMF errors of these components. Resistors are another source of thermal EMF errors. Table 1 shows the thermal EMF generated for different resistors. The temperature gradient across the resistor is important, not the ambient temperature. There are two junctions formed at each end of the resistor and if these junctions are at the same temperature, their thermal EMFs will cancel each other. The thermal EMF numbers are approximate and vary with resistor value. High values give higher thermal EMF. 115fb 9

Resistor Thermal EMF 1 RESISTOR TYPE Tin Oxide Carbon Composition Metal Film WireWound Evenohm Manganin W THERMAL EMF/ C GRADIENT ~mv/ C ~5µV/ C ~µv/ C ~µv/ C ~µv/ C PACKAGE-INDCED OFFSET VOLTAGE Package-induced thermal EMF effects are another important source of errors. It arises at the copper/kovar junctions formed when wire or printed circuit traces contact a package lead. Like all the previously mentioned thermal EMF effects, it is outside the LTC115 s offset nulling loop and cannot be cancelled. Metal can H packages exhibit the worst warm-up drift. The input offset voltage specification of the LTC115 is actually set by the package-induced warm-up drift rather than by the circuit itself. The thermal time constant ranges from.5 to minutes, depending on package type. ALIASING Like all sampled data systems, the LTC115 exhibits aliasing behavior at input frequencies near the sampling frequency. The LTC115 includes a high-frequency correction loop which minimizes this effect; as a result, aliasing is not a problem for most applications. For a complete discussion of the correction circuitry and aliasing behavior, please refer to the LTC151/5 data sheet. SYNCHRONIZATION OF MLTIPLE LTC115O S When synchronization of several LTC115 s is required, one of the LTC115 s can be used to provide the master clock to control over 1 slave LTC115 s. The master clock, coming from Pin 8 of the master LTC115, can directly drive Pin 5 of the slaves. Note that Pin 8 of the slave LTC115 s will be pulled up to V S. If all the LTC115 s are to be synchronized with an external clock, then the external clock should drive Pin 5 of all the LTC115 s. LEVEL SHIFTING THE CLOCK Level shifting is needed if the clock output of the LTC115 in ±15V operation must interface to regular 5V logic circuits. Figures and show some typical level shifting circuits. When operated from single 5V or ±5V supplies, the LTC115 clock output at Pin 8 can interface to TTL or CMOS inputs directly. LOW SPPLY OPERATION The minimum supply for proper operation of the LTC115 is typically below.v (±.V). In single supply applications, PSRR is guaranteed down to.v (±.5V) to ensure proper operation down to the minimum TTL specified voltage of.5v. 15V LTC115 15V 8 1k 1k 5V LOGIC CIRCIT LTC115 AI Figure.
