APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The OP200 is inherently stable at all gains and is capable of
driving large capacitive loads without oscillating. Nonetheless,
good supply decoupling is highly recommended. Proper supply
decoupling reduces problems caused by supply line noise and
improves the capacitive load driving capability of the OP200.
DUAL LOW POWER INSTRUMENTATION
AMPLIFIER
A dual instrumentation amplifier that consumes less than 33 mW
of power per channel is shown in Figure 30. The linearity of the
instrumentation amplifier exceeds 16 bits in gains of 5 to 200 and is
better than 14 bits in gains from 200 to 1000. CMRR is above
115 dB (gain = 1000). Offset voltage drift is typically 0.2 μV/°C
over the military temperature range, which is comparable to the
best monolithic instrumentation amplifiers. The bandwidth of
the low power instrumentation amplifier is a function of gain
and is shown in Table 7.

The output signal is specified with respect to the reference
input, which is normally connected to analog ground. The
reference input can be used to offset the output from −10 V
to +10 V if required.
PRECISION ABSOLUTE VALUE AMPLIFIER
The circuit in Figure 31 is a precision absolute value amplifier
with an input impedance of 10 MΩ. The high gain and low TCV
OS
of the OP200 ensure accurate operation with microvolt input
signals. In this circuit, the input always appears as a common-
mode signal to the op amps. The CMRR of the OP200 exceeds
120 dB, yielding an error of less than 2 ppm.

PRECISION CURRENT PUMP
The maximum output current of the precision current pump
shown in Figure 32 is ±10 mA. Voltage compliance is ±10 V
with ±15 V supplies. Output impedance of the current transmit-
ter exceeds 3 MΩ with linearity better than 16 bits.
