TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
17µA Max, Dual and Quad,
Single Supply, Precision Op Amps
The LT
®
2178 is a micropower dual op amp in a surface
mount standard 8-pin confi guration, the LT2179 is a
micropower quad op amp offered in a surface mount
14-pin package. Both devices are optimized for single
supply operation at 5V. Specifi cations are also provided
at ±15V supply.
The extremely low supply current is combined with true
precision specifi cations: offset voltage is 30µV and offset
current is 50pA. Both offset parameters have low drift with
temperature. The 1.5pA
P-P
current noise and picoampere
offset current permit the use the megohm level source
resistors without introducing serious errors. Voltage
noise, at 0.9µV
P-P
, is remarkably low considering the low
supply current.
The LT2178/LT2179 can be operated from a single supply
(as low as one lithium-cell or two NiCd batteries). The input
range goes below ground. The all-NPN output stage swings
to within a few millivolts of ground while sinking current.
No power consuming pull down resistors are needed.
For surface mount applications where three times higher
supply current is acceptable, the micropower LT1077
single, LT2078 dual and LT2079 quad are recommended.
The LT1077/LT2078/LT2079 have signifi cantly higher
bandwidth, slew rate, lower voltage noise and better output
drive capability. For applications requiring DIP packages
refer to the LT1178/LT1179.
